@peterverkooijen; Ok, I came across sarcastic back there. Apologies. Discussion is always useful, but not when we let ego get in the way. Your comment about “Mushy holistic talk” made me smile. Where did those terms creep in? Perhaps “New Age Software: it does nothing, but it feels good!” might be the key here, umm..? Actually, […]

@nuprn1; Hey Rich. I’ve had a few nasties happen with this plugin, but nothing so bad I recorded it. I know; meh.
My questions is, can you populate the ‘types to block’ list somehow so the user doesn’t have to try and figure it out if an activity type isn’t listed?

@peterverkooijen said; “Talk about dropping rigidity and opening up to an amazing new flexibility and power is pure nonsense”. Ah Peter, without visionaries such as yourself, how would we ever have got to where we are..?! Growing out of rigid definitions into new flexibility is where the virtual world is heading, like it or not. Everything […]

@jeffsayre; I’m too cheesed off and tired to bother right now. Installing the latest BP locked me out of WP somehow, and even creating a new MD5 password and resetting it via phpMyAdmin isn’t getting me back in. Disabling BP by removing the folder gives me the white screen of death. I swear, I’m close to […]

@johnjamesjacoby et al; OMG NO! I just very carefully installed BP 1.2.5 locally on xampp; perfect. I did the same, very carefully, on my server. Now the site works, but ALL of my log-ins are dead, and it won’t send me an emergency log-in by email because it doesn’t recognise a darned thing! 🙁

@peterverkooijen; I don’t think mixing in anonymous users defeats the point at all. Why should it? Don’t you talk to people you don’t know almost every day? Don’t people comment in passing about things, often making people smile? If software systems model the real world of human interactions, then I’d say that anonymity is quite normal. […]

Ice-cream sundaes! Oh yes! 🙂 Actually, that’s one direction Drupal has been going (not the ice-cream, sadly), which is the eventual simplification of data storage. The biggest problem now, I think, is that developers map their views to data, and vice-versa. Drupal stores everything and anything as a ‘node’. So a node can contain one […]

@peterverkooijen; Good points about the focus of a social network being on the member, while a forum is focussed more around the information. I think @alanchrishughes has a point too though, about non-techies being put off by having to register.many people are still terrified that if they enter their name and email address then you’ll have access […]

@alanchrishughes; That makes sense to me, and I think that’s the way social networking will go soon, though it’s in its infancy right now. I think the very concepts of ‘forums’, ‘groups’, ‘blogs’ and so-on will merge, and fade into history soon enough. I like the information filtering provided for user in the activity streams. For […]

lincme.co.uk posted on the forum topic How to filter extended profiles fields editings? in the group Creating & Extending: 14 years, 2 months ago
@peterverkooijen said; “There is also zero privacy/security in Buddypress”. Care to expand upon that Peter? Our site isn’t ‘open for business’ yet, but when it is our members will expect some privacy, ie., profile stuff set to private and private group posts actually being private. Are you saying it can’t/won’t be properly private?

lincme.co.uk posted on the forum topic Removing Groups From Forums in the group Creating & Extending: 14 years, 2 months ago
@alanchrishughes; What we’ve done – and it’s making sense to a few testers so far – is to ditch the forums and just use groups. So people know, for example, that they can create a cycling group, or a business group, or a flower arranging group. They understand that they can post messages in their group, […]

@johnjamesjacoby; I don’t suppose this is the place to report an issue, so I’ll make it a question. When creating a Group, the tags are lost and have to be re-input after the final step. Is this fixed?

lincme.co.uk posted an update in the group oEmbed for BuddyPress: 14 years, 2 months ago
Hmm… Perhaps scratch the blog *post* idea, as it looks like I have to enable WPMU and fiddle around, and all we want is group posting.
So, if groups just have their own Activity, is it possible to have embedding within a group but not have it show in the main activity stream? (And without making the group private).
Also, is there a reason why…[Read more]

My oEmbed plugin doesn’t really have anything to do with blog posts, since oEmbed is already a feature in WordPress!
To use with BP Groupblog, you’d need to enable the embed feature on each groupblog:

My plugin is only a parser for WordPress’ oEmbed service. WP doesn’t support Picasa, so neither does mine.

@r-a-y; This is very neat indeed, and just what we need for users who don’t know how to navigate around much or use html to insert things.
One of the things we’re looking at is allowing users to embed things like images and videos, but not upload to our server space as the current 1GB will disappear very quickly. (Bandwidth is huge, and so not an…[Read more]

I can’t find anything using the Search on this, but what I want to do is have BP automatically notify a member on-screen when they have a new message or friend request. I’m thinking of using a small star image in the corner of their top-left avatar picture, perhaps using css to show it when […]

My currency calculator says that’s over £85 GBP. I doubt most people building start-up sites as we are, with little or no income, will go anywhere near such a service. Anyway, there are free php chat scripts which work well, and no doubt WP plugins as wrappers too.
