I’ll point MrMaz and Brajesh to this thread.. they seems to know a lot about the AJAX stuff
Very very very interested!
Ah great nexia, I did not think about using the !important css attribute.. I wish their was a cleaner way, but this will do for now
Thanks 
I now have:
WPMU 2.9.1
BP 1.2 RC2
BP Default 1.2 (loaded from the plugin dir)
the template is loading fine for the profile page but I get a error: no links found
and I can not add new links. If I go to the links page I get a page not found error.
Hope this helps
I get the same error as Ray has.. Page not found.. Looking forward to testing this
I have this topic bookmarked and make sure to add it on the new BP-Tricks.com.. this seems like a mindbender indeed.. Thanks for figuring it out though
Currently in beta, and looks to be quite awesome..
It can do most of what you wish, but I’m not sure about external hosting/cloud hosting of media
Great to see a new theme and it looks very polished and cool! I have no use for a dark theme, but I’m sure there are a lot of people who will! Thanks for sharing this with the community
My current solution is indeed a accordeon which is fully cross browser compatible and very lightweight! (powered by jQuery Tools). I’ve just managed to make it into a widget (damn that was easy!) and now I need to finish the code and make it more user friendly. JJJ offered to help me out, so I think this widget will see the light of day very soon
My widgets does not go as far as on your screenshots, and it merely provides links to the most important aspects of a user profile (so no displaying of messages/blogs etc). I want it to be clean and small, and the current widget does this
I’m also working on a child theme for BP 1.2 which this widget will feature.
That tabbed widgets plugins looks usefull btw
Hi Damon,
Glad that I could be of inspiration hehe
I’ll look at making it a widget also tomorrow.. If my widget is finished I’ll share the code here.. I’m almost done, just need to figure out some small thing. When it’s done I will share the code in a tutorial+download on the new BP-Tricks site! A screenshot of my widget:

I don’t agree with what you’re saying. I understand the logic behind your ideas, but I think that it’s much better to create a gallery component from the ground up created for buddypress only.
If you have someone working on it which is 110% familiar with BuddyPress and knows exactly which core components and 3rd party plugins might have use for photo galleries, you have a much stronger and cleaner end results then using an existing solution.
You’ve mentioned keeping BuddyPress clean and “non-bloated” for several times, and I think that adjusting/hacking/modifying/adepting existing scripts to work with buddypress (which means a high chance of code conflicts, unused code and a clunky user experience) is not something that I would choose above a well written BP only component.
Would Facebook use an existing photoalbum script? It might sound like a very stupid comparison but I think BP aims to become a open source solution which stands completely on it’s own and can be compared with the bigger social network sites (atleast I hope that’s what they are aiming for:) A awesome BP Gallery component is very much needed and something which should not be (code)based on any existing plugin/script out there.
My 2 cents
Are you using the new BP .1.2 or the 1.1 version? In 1.2 you can upload a header in the theme options of your admin panel. if you’re using 1.1 I would strongly advise you to think about using 1.2
I think you are showing real character by picking this up (again) yourself. I’m looking forward to your plugin and I hope to see it appear soon
That’s exactly what I had in mind Erich, so luckily we both want the same thing
Expect it around the same time BP 1.2 launches. I’m working on a new BP 1.2 child theme which will also be released around the same time
I will make a BP Default Blog theme very very soon and it will be downloadable from BP-Tricks.com. Keep an eye out Erich, a LOT of very cool stuff coming soon
Thanks for brining back the original discussion, I totally forgot about it
I absolutely agree that it should be possible to publish a message in someone his activity stream, and Facebook nails this aspect.for example:
When I sent my friend Arx a message on his stream it shows up on my stream like this:
“You said to Arx: How are you doing?”
And it shows on Arx his stream:
“Bowe said to you: How are you doing?”
When others visit my profile they see my activity and also the public message I sent to Arx. But this message/action does not get added to the sitewide activity stream of all my friends and Arx his friends..
This makes it somewhat a semi-public message (it’s on both your activity streams, but not added to the site wide stream or friends stream) but this allows people to have public conversations profile to profile in a way which is not confusing.
I think this is the best way to handle the situation, and the most easy to pick up on.
