There is not a built in way to disable the cropping part, no. Interested to find out why you seem to want to allow avatar uploads but not let people size them?
Yep, likewise. Not sure when we’re going to close the survey — maybe the end of the month, but we should have some preliminary data available to help plan BuddyPress 2.0 at next week’s dev chat.
I like this idea. It would make a fab plugin if someone can package it up well.
I’m not sure BP core needs a timezone field by default, but if we can do anything to make filtering/re-calculating the dates easier (e.g. add a filter, or so), don’t hesitate to ask! Create an enhancement request on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org and I’ll get it into BP 2.0
I haven’t any good suggestions for your search for a good groups plugin, but if you do use Achievements (I’m the author), please leave me a review and some feedback on that WordPress.org page — thanks 🙂
BuddyPress uses the version of jQuery that comes with WordPress. You’re best to search for how to make WordPress do this change, then BuddyPress will use it.
> Without joining a group,can you post under that group on BuddyPress ? Is there any chance of it ?
If a group is public, you can post, but it’ll also automatically join the user to that group when they make that post. I don’t think there’s a way of mixing group permissions with posting permissions.
What type of group did you make? Public, private, hidden?
This is pretty close to the unix epoch date, which makes me suggest the ‘last activity’ timestamp isn’t being recorded correctly for that user. @ceric, if you log in as that user and click around a few pages, does it fix the display?
I’m sure someone will be along with some more helpful advice, but for a quick reply — this is to be expected. BuddyPress is working as it currently is meant to, and ignores any of the theme options around page customisations.
You should have gotten a filename or line number along with the error message. I’m interested if it’s in a core BP file, or in another plugin, like Henry says.
I figured you were referring to the Activity table 🙂
Basically, we thought the way we do it now was a good solution several years ago. We were particularly concerned with how large the Activities DB table(s) might get, as we expect them (and probably still do) to be the tables with the largest amount of stored data as every other component adds stuff to the activity stream. If I remember correctly, the idea was that storing the entire string would be the quickest approach — and with the state of BuddyPress’ code base all those years ago, it was probably the right decision.
Several years later, the shortcomings are now fairly obvious — can’t filter it easily, if you change how the string is constructed – only new items have that new format, the old items keep their old format, can’t translate it very easily.
This is likely to be changed in a near-future release to a more dynamically constructed string of text, and the ticket @modemlooper linked to is a good place to keep an eye out if you’d like to help us build it.
No direct way of bulk-editing profile fields; sounds dangerously powerful. If you are a PHP/WordPress developer, or know someone who is, I’d suggest writing a script to make these changes for you.
