Is there any quick way to resize the oEmbed videos for now, while we wait for the next version of oEmbed plugin?

[jimhellas]

Thanks for the ideas.

I’ll try to check against some usermeta (not for the loop though…). I guess it will work for the profile pages

I think I solved it!!! Here’s how, in case anybody else wants to do something similar:

Step 1: edit “wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js”

Step 2: Go to line #35 (/* New posts */) and simply copy and paste the the new posts section right after it (line #102)

Step 3: Change every single value that refers to ids of the original form (e.g. change #aw-whats-new-submit to #mini-aw-whats-new-submit)

Step 4: Go to the mini-post code on your template and replace the ids. Obviously you have to use the same ids as the ones you created on Step 3

To make a long story long, here’s my code:
global.js

---

/* MINI-POST */
/* New posts */
jq(“input#mini-aw-whats-new-submit”).click( function() {
var button = jq(this);
var form = button.parent().parent().parent().parent();

form.children().each( function() {
if ( jq.nodeName(this, “textarea”) || jq.nodeName(this, “input”) )
jq(this).attr( ‘disabled’, ‘disabled’ );
});

jq( ‘form#’ + form.attr(‘id’) + ‘ span.ajax-loader’ ).show();

/* Remove any errors */
jq(‘div.error’).remove();
button.attr(‘disabled’,’disabled’);

/* Default POST values */
var object = ”;
var item_id = jq(“#mini-whats-new-post-in”).val();
var content = jq(“textarea#mini-whats-new”).val();

/* Set object for non-profile posts */
if ( item_id > 0 ) {
object = jq(“#mini-whats-new-post-object”).val();
}

jq.post( ajaxurl, {
action: ‘post_update’,
‘cookie’: encodeURIComponent(document.cookie),
‘_wpnonce_post_update’: jq(“input#_wpnonce_post_update”).val(),
‘content’: content,
‘object’: object,
‘item_id’: item_id
},
function(response)
{
jq( ‘form#’ + form.attr(‘id’) + ‘ span.ajax-loader’ ).hide();

form.children().each( function() {
if ( jq.nodeName(this, “textarea”) || jq.nodeName(this, “input”) )
jq(this).attr( ‘disabled’, ” );
});

/* Check for errors and append if found. */
if ( response[0] + response[1] == ‘-1’ ) {
form.prepend( response.substr( 2, response.length ) );
jq( ‘form#’ + form.attr(‘id’) + ‘ div.error’).hide().fadeIn( 200 );
button.attr(“disabled”, ”);
} else {
if ( 0 == jq(“ul.activity-list”).length ) {
jq(“div.error”).slideUp(100).remove();
jq(“div#message”).slideUp(100).remove();
jq(“div.activity”).append( ‘

‘ );
}

jq(“ul.activity-list”).prepend(response);
jq(“ul.activity-list li:first”).addClass(‘new-update’);
jq(“li.new-update”).hide().slideDown( 300 );
jq(“li.new-update”).removeClass( ‘new-update’ );
jq(“textarea#mini-whats-new”).val(”);

/* Re-enable the submit button after 8 seconds. */
setTimeout( function() { button.attr(“disabled”, ”); }, 8000 );
}
});

return false;
});
/* MINI-POST */

and the form for the new “mini-post-form”

@anointed Thanks for the link. The post looks interesting but, unfortunately, I don’t think it’s useful in my case. Thanks anyway

This thing is driving me crazy! Do you think I could solve the problem by altering the code of the post button?

<input type="submit" name="aw-whats-new-submit" id="aw-whats-new-submit" value="” />

[jimhellas]

Any ideas? I

[jimhellas]

Thanks a lot Roger! It worked like a charm I knew it was simple, but I couldn’t find the right function.
