thanks @boonebgorges for the mention

I’m not sure this is a bp-moderation problem, from the traces I see bpmod is calling bp_forums_get_topic_posts that load bbpress that tries to alter the db causing the error (the altered tables are not bpmod tables either), bpmod could just be the first to call something forum related and makes bp load bb.

@unwiredtech you could try disabling bpmod and see if the forums work correctly without errors, but I feel its more likely that something is wrong with bb db upgrading, maybe some corruption or wrong db version stored in the options.
Anyway if you narrow down the problem to bp-moderation please write to the plugin forum https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-moderation/forum/ or mention me, I’m not usually around here but I follow the plugin activities via rss.

[francescolaffi]

found it! I published it in a blog post: http://flweb.it/2010/05/add-confirm-email-field-in-buddypress-signup-page/

[francescolaffi]

I did this only using default theme hooks. I just need to find that code and I’ll post it.

[francescolaffi]

GSoC acceptance is very good because I can use more of my time for coding, btw the GSoC project is not related only to this plugin but also to a new moderation component ( you can read more here http://flweb.it/2010/04/google-summer-of-code-project-media-component-and-moderation-for-buddypress/ )
I’ll post more detailed information on the project when roadmap/milestones are defined with mentors (Boone Gorges & Andy Peatling).
GSoC timeline provides some weeks of community bonding before start coding the project (that obviusly doesn’t mean that I am not coding at all, we are working on other features)
New buddypress.org site focus much more on groups, expecially for plugins, so I’ll create two groups, one for BP Album+ and one for the new plugin (I think it’s going to be called BuddyPress Moderation, if you have a better name you can suggest ) where you can read updates, give feedback, etc.
As someone suggested having only one huge thread make difficult to follow all the topics, so having a group should make it easier and it’s more social too. ( @foxly I’ll add you as bp-album group admin as soon as it’s created).

on bp-album in the core: this plugin will not be merged in the core, bp needs to be used in any type of community so it has to be no-frills, btw 1.3 will have a page in the setup with plugin suggestions so important features that are not in the core can easily be added.

on mobile support: I think first step is to make bp mobile friendly then plugins will follow the core example. I mean that core protocol with support for plugins is much more better then each plugin with it’s own protocol.

@dragonbabic

sorry I don’t understand the commenting issue, if you can describe how to reproduce it please open a topic here https://wordpress.org/tags/bp-album

for custom strings recently djpaul wrote this post on his blog http://byotos.com/2010/04/hijacking-wordpress-internationalisation/ . Hope it helps

[francescolaffi]

yes it does extend to other core components and have API to extend it to custom components if any.

[francescolaffi]

if I add the sitewide only true to the header, could there be some problem when updating if plugin is not already activated sitewide?

[francescolaffi]

@jjj I submitted my proposal some days ago, part of the project is ‘inappropriate content flagging’. Your opinion would be appreciated. I wrote a post about it here http://flweb.it/2010/04/google-summer-of-code-project-media-component-and-moderation-for-buddypress but it’s probably more detailed in the proposal you should be able to read in GSoC site. Thanks

[francescolaffi]

@dre1080 I’ve submitted my GSoC application including a moderation component in the project, you can read further information and timing in this post http://flweb.it/2010/04/google-summer-of-code-project-media-component-and-moderation-for-buddypress

[francescolaffi]

reported this bug in the trac https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2272 , if someone else has the problem please say in the trac if you have tested the solution

[francescolaffi]

I’m also going to apply for a gsoc project related to buddypress, I already have some ideas ( https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/ignore-and-report-function-in-the-activity-stream#post-46033 ). Application is nearly finished but still not submitted so I’d also like to read jjj suggestions.

[francescolaffi]

I forgot to add this topic to my favorites so I didn’t read your replies.

I opened a ticked in the trac https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2271 , if this solution is working for you could write there that you successfully tested and solution will be probably included in future bp release. You can login in the trac with the same account you are using for this forum.

@foxly In my opinion bplinks and bp-album have different purpose, bplinks for share content (that can be media) on the activity stream and bp-album for uploading and organizing members’ own media. As long as bplinks and bp-album have different features is probably better to have different plugins.

[francescolaffi]

@21cdb yes my idea is abstracting the media type and add the possibility to add every kind of media as modules.

I’m not following the development of BPLinks, thanks for informing me of the possible overlap. Is BPLinks going to organize media in albums or everything is in the stream?

[francescolaffi]

Thank you for take part in the development of bp-album with your ideas and suggestion.

on group album: so you think it should not be possible to upload a pic only to a group (like on facebook)?

I committed a new version (0.1.7) that has no new features (they will come in the 0.2 version we are working on), it fix the problem described in the “plugin hall of shame” thread.

@xevo: yes it will be possible to disable new features. I understand that in a lot of sites some feature are unneeded.

@gpo1: share button is a feature that you can add in a custom template, it probably will never be added in the plugin.

[francescolaffi]

committed bp-album 0.1.7 that doesn’t use is_site_admin in the loader. Now also check if bp is installed and that its version is at least 1.2 before installing db, otherwise it display a message in the backend of the siteadmin to install/update bp.

[francescolaffi]

BP definitely need the a “report this” feature.

I’m going to apply for a GSoC project related to BP, mainly for coding a strong stable media component, but I’ll add the report-this plugin too.

Still have to send the application document, I hope it will be accepted.

[francescolaffi]

??? isn’t is_site_admin in the bp-core-wpabstraction? I’ll check if it uses it before bp-init

[francescolaffi]

Voted, there are 95 votes now.

something I don’t like about the plugin voting system is that users can give a bad vote without commenting, from the dev perspective is pretty useless knowing that users are voting less than 5 without knowing why

[francescolaffi]

I also noticed this bug today and probably found a solution, please test if this works for you too:

( this is specific for wpmu, if you have the problem with single wp it’s not the same bug )

1) open bp-core.php and search for the function bp_core_delete_account (~ line 1700)

2) in this func change the line if ( bp_core_is_multisite() && function_exists('wpmu_delete_user') ) { to if ( bp_core_is_multisite() ) {

3) done

this is probably an inattention because the function wpmu_delete_user is defined in the file /wp-admin/includes/mu.php that is required in that if after checking if the function exists.

Btw have you already opened a ticked on the trac about this? If yes please link it, otherwise I’ll create one. Please tell me if this works for you too so I’ll submit a diff.

[francescolaffi]

@modemlooper&co: thanks for the suggestions, we’ll try to make it more user-friendly and improve the usability.

@draganbabic: originally the order was the inverse, I don’t know when and why this has been changed!

@gezan: yes this is in the roadmap but we are focusing on other features now. If you look the code newest functions refers to ‘media’, oldest function refer to pics. I think it will be possible to add media type as modules but I don’t know when this will be coded.

[francescolaffi]

Hi there, good news: I just finished coding basic keyword tags and member tags features. As soon as my code is merged with foxly’ code we’ll release a beta version so you can test the new features.

@bowe I think W3TotalCache CDN feature should work with bp and bp-album, but it’s only a supposition.

@finni3 new version will support pic meta, what you ask will be easly achivied.

@firetag I can add a filter to that strings before displaying them, so you can change them without hacking the plugin code. what do you think?

[francescolaffi]

It seem that I did a very bad work in mergin the 0.1.3 tag with the admin menu, several files were not updated. Still have to learn well all the svn thing.

Fixed version online in minute, sorry for the hitch

[francescolaffi]

@baur that’s weird: searched in all files expecially in bp-album-screens, and that costants isn’t there any more, maybe your update was not successful , try re-installing it. If this doesn’t solve please report in the below link

@others I am following the bugs here https://wordpress.org/tags/bp-album?forum_id=10 , someone already reported the division by zero so I’ll write there. Please report different bugs in diffent threads.

[francescolaffi]

The stable versions with the admin panel is in the repo!
