The BuddyPress Like plugin does that:

Henry Wright replied to the topic Search members results – first members with photo in the forum Installing BuddyPress 12 years ago

You’d need to do the following:

1. Determine if an avatar has been uploaded for each member
2. Filter bp_ajax_querystring to display members that have photos

@donorchildren hopefully you’ll get this fixed. Sorry if my reply looked critical, it wasn’t intended to be.
Henry Wright replied to the topic Buddypress 2.0 Beta 1 Bugs – Need Help! in the forum Installing BuddyPress 12 years, 1 month ago

I just installed the Buddypress update. It said 100% compatible according to author.

BP 2.0 is in beta. Where did it say 100% compatible? You shouldn’t use 2.0 beta in a production environment. There is a fair way to go yet before the core devs release BP 2.0 proper.

I used it on a site with BP 1.9 and it worked OK. What doesn’t work? Have you tried raising a support request on the plugin’s forum? https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-like

@espellcaste I’m not sure but I doubt BuddyPress or WP will enforce a limit like that.
Henry Wright replied to the topic Spam Overload in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 12 years, 1 month ago

It could be that a spam bot has got hold of your register page’s URL yoursite.com/register – Try going to the WP admin dashboard and change the slug of the register page to something different i.e. yoursite.com/sign-up-today – That might buy you time whilst you’re figuring out the problems you mention above.
Henry Wright replied to the topic Favorite Button in the Post? in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 12 years, 1 month ago

Yes, you can use the BuddyPress Like plugin to do that: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-like/

The wording can be changed via the admin area.
Henry Wright replied to the topic 2.1 top features in the forum Ideas 12 years, 1 month ago

What are your top 5 feature requests for 2.0?

@sooskriszta – do you mean 2.1?

PS – @johnjamesjacoby quite a creative profile pic!

Hey @mcpeanut

The same code as either a plugin or as part of core should weigh the exact same on a site. Plugins only slow down or bloat a site if they are written badly. In theory you could have 100 plugins running with not much noticeabe impact on performance. Then you could have one bad plugin that grinds your site to a halt.
Henry Wright replied to the topic How to auto generate username from first and last name? in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 12 years, 1 month ago

Just do something like this: $username = $first . '_' . $last;

If you need to check a username exists, you can do: if ( username_exists( $username ) )

Excited to see 2.0 beta! Looking at the changes that have gone into it, how on earth did you manage get it out on time? 🙂

Hi @loufernando

Have you thought about using BP Profile Search?

Henry Wright replied to the topic Should I use BuddyPress for… in the forum Showcase 12 years, 1 month ago

All of those are good.

Also, the BuddyPress code is on GitHub if you need to reference quickly

Henry Wright replied to the topic New User Registration Problem: Invalid Activation Key in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 12 years, 1 month ago

That would resolve your problem. The issue then would be how can you fight the spammers that sign up. The Google captcha would help. There’s also Akismet which is free for personal use and is unobtrusive too.
Henry Wright replied to the topic New User Registration Problem: Invalid Activation Key in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 12 years, 1 month ago

Does that plugin auto activate your members?

Hi @stuntdevil007

Henry Wright replied to the topic Edit Google's description of my site in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 12 years, 1 month ago

You can use the meta tag to do that. It goes inside your document’s <head></head> tags. So:

<meta name="description" content="My description">

Note, Google doesn’t always use this. They actually use a number of different sources. Read this for more info:

@djpaul thanks, appreciate the clarification!
Henry Wright replied to the topic New User Registration Problem: Invalid Activation Key in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 12 years, 1 month ago

That indicates the key isn’t in the database. That there is the problem. Now we’ve narrowed the problem down to the key not being in the database you’ll need to investigate why.
