yes buddypress followers was just released

[dre1080]

@djpaul he is asking for post-form attachments similar to FB style

[dre1080]

@r-a-y, @eborg9 is right, this is happening with me too, in the activity stream it always shows the username but in the rest of the site it shows the display name

[dre1080]

how can i add the like to custom components??? if i want to like other things apart from activity updates

[dre1080]

have you tried using an absolute path and see if it works??

[dre1080]

@vee_bee please let us know if u manage

[dre1080]

[dre1080]

http://dev.benoitgreant.be/wordpress-mu/blog/2009/11/buddypress-real-names
thats the plugin homepage, maybe ul find his details there?

[dre1080]

+1 intrested in this..please letme know wen u manage to finish it

[dre1080]

u need the bp-gallery plugin on http://buddydev.com
users can upload audio video n photos with that plugin

[dre1080]

im asking, how to add a post form when you go to a users profile…on buddypress.org you can go to another users profile and theres a post form, wen u write in that post form it automatically picks up the displayed user’s username and ur post will come out as an @mention..

[dre1080]

anyone know how to do this?

[dre1080]

+1 ..i would very much like something like this, iv been searching high n low n cant seem to find a solution..really need such an ads module..

[dre1080]

put your jquery code in the footer.php file, not the div…
for example:
script type=”text/javascript” src=”wherever the jquery plugin file is” /script
script type=”text/javascript”
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
your code
});
/script

ryt above wp_footer();
i have left out < in the script part above coz these forums wont allow code argh! lol

[dre1080]

add this to functions.php

function my_init() {
if (!is_admin()) {
wp_deregister_script(‘jquery’);
// load the local copy of jQuery in the footer
// wp_register_script(‘jquery’, ‘/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js’, false, ‘1.3.2’, true);
// or load the Google API copy in the footer
// wp_register_script(‘jquery’, ‘http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js&#8217;, false, ‘1.4.2’, true);

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);
}
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘my_init’);

comment out which one you want to use, then add ur jquery code to the footer.php above wp_footer();
best way to load jquery is in the footer for faster page loading

[dre1080]

or you could create a div then set a background-image, width and height with css..
called mydiv or whatever, there doesnt have to be anything inside it..

#mydiv {
display:block;
height: 100px;
width:100px; //whatever the dimensions of your image is
background-image: url(“../images/homepage_placeholder.jpg”);
}

the buddypress themes dont get the image if you dont use absolute paths for in your template
i dont know of another way to make it work with selector

[dre1080]

you have write out the whole path
thats the only way i got it to work with my theme..alt attribute is for web crawlers and search engines, incase the image doesnt load..
thats how you would call it using the bp-default theme, depends where you placed your theme?

[dre1080]

im also having trouble with this, anyone???

[dre1080]

try buddypress classifieds plugin, could be a step in the right direction

[dre1080]

check out the tweetstream plugin

[dre1080]

download it from the plugin homepage or wordpress.org, its very much alive and works great

[dre1080]

check this plugin it displays the avatars of members who have recently viewed your profile..but it only shows for the logged in user if it is your profile..

[dre1080]

there used to be this plugin which could do exactly this but it hasnt been updated to work with bp 1.2..all plugins on that site have stopped being updated..maybe someone could take this on and update it for bp 1.2?

[dre1080]

div.activity-comments ul li:hover { background: #— !important; } replace — with what you want the color to stay as

best solution, use firebug add-on with firefox, to find ids and classes of elements n ul figure all this out..

[dre1080]

thanks
