I have found code instances of specifying one filter, but I have been unable to find code instances (or examples) for combining more than one filter. Can anyone give me a lead or show an example of how to combine more than one filter? I would be deeply indebted.

Very kind invitation! I’m too much of a newbie to say much yet. But I am trying to remember than when groups need to think outside the box, they need input from newbies who don’t know there is a box.

@RogerCoathup

Thanks! Immensely helpful.

When members visit one of their friend’s profiles and don’t immediately see stuff they and others have posted to that friend, it makes it hard to build any interest in the site as a place of social interaction.

I will be working on this. Thanks again!

Where is the meeting? I’m not big on travel.

I would like to have them combined in something called a wall, and still have the filtered versions that already exist. I have a lot of coding experience, but I am a newbie when it comes to BP. I will eventually start work on this, and eventually figure it out. Any gurus out there that can help point me in the right direction, would be greatly appreciated!

@hnla Thanks! That guided me to eventually find some CSS that was affecting the page. It’s looking better now.

[dougjoseph]

@hnla Thanks! Will get it out.

Thanks. I had found that same post yesterday and already applied it. Works great!

I like it because I get the benefit of “post on wall” type usability, and I still get the email notifications, which I think is an important feature. I now simply wish to have “ @username” tagging (mentions) to continue to work as always, yet I want to tweak the look of the site so user’s who don’t want to try to understand it don’t feel like they have to.

Also, regarding my #2 point above: The user who is doing the posting never has to type an “ @user” and cannot delete it from the posting form, because it gets added behind the scenes after he or she posts. Nice! Like I said, now I just need to tweak the site design to make the “mention this user” button go away, and perhaps rename the “mentions” filter menu choice.

Here’s an idea. When viewing a member’s page, instead of having a button that says “mention this user” — have it say instead, “post on /username/’s wall” and then have the same functionality that is applied to the @username mention, happen. Thoughts?

Two tweaks I would want to see:

1. When someone is visiting a member’s page then let’s /assume/ the visitor will want to post something that ‘mentions’ that member, and have the resulting posting form already shown!

2. If the above were implemented, then have the default text that gets placed into the resulting posting form ( @username) to still be there, but even if the user deletes it, send email to the member whose page got posted on.

[dougjoseph]

The member’s “Wall” feature on Facebook is definitely more user-friendly and intuitive. That way, email notifications go to the right member, without an “ @name” being supplied. I don’t know what would have to happen to transition from the ‘whole-site-activity wall ONLY’ concept to having that /PLUS/ ‘members get their own wall too.’ It would be a major step forward for BP.

Any more news on this new theme combining P2 and BP? Has an announcement been made?

Please note:

There are at least two “mail from” plug-ins. One does NOT work after BuddyPress has been activated. while the other one DOES.

The one that does NOT work is called “wp-mailfrom.” It only works as long as BuddyPress is not active.

The other one, called “mail from”, DOES work. It works even when BuddyPress is active.
