In reply to: Chat plugin?
i take it your like me and stay up all damn night working away lmao, im definitely gonna put my cometchat to the test soon and i will keep you posted on the results, im just so busy with the design of my new site im lost for time, as well as setting up my servers, i have written almost 10 thousand lines of css for this new website so far as i have been designing it using media queries for almost every single device screensize, so its been a big job!
In reply to: Chat plugin?nice website man, where are you located?
btw read this post https://theadminzone.com/threads/adding-cometchat-to-an-active-big-board.99248/
In reply to: Chat plugin?Hmm , YES i know for a fact that they check for anti piracy and that your domain name is registered via your admin panel when you log into your account on their site, could this really be part of the issue? what if cometchat is in fact making that call for a legitimacy check every single time cometchat is accessed rather than them doing a one off check and giving it the OK flag? I dunno im just as confused as you by this and i haven’t even got mine set up on a live site yet!
This worries me a little as you don’t want expensive software you own doing things like this each time someone connects to your chat! this is obtrusive behavior when you own a white-label software product, the way they deal with anti privacy is their issue and not the end users problem who has genuinely purchased their product!
I know this is the case as i once installed it on a test server but had forgot to add my new domain name and got errors.
In reply to: Chat plugin?@mrgiblets just reading more and apparently with their cometservice and memcached (also setting up to run a cron job every 3 hours) and testing with over 10 thousand users on a 4gb vps your load should only peak at between 10-20 percent!
read this here http://www.cometchat.com/blog/cometchat-v5-1-handle-thousands-of-users/
maybee you have an incorrectly setup server because the description of your server is much much much higher than a standard vps
In reply to: Chat plugin?@mrgiblets hi m8, ok i am really curious now because i also own the premium version of cometchat and have done so for the past 18 months but i haven’t used it yet, i dont understand your problems mr giblet because isnt that what it is supposed to do when connecting to their push service? connect to their servers so that they can deliver the messages for you? now cometchat has been around for years and is supposedly used by 100s of thousand s of sites etc so why would 30 users cause a crash? if subscribed to their push service and you have a correctly configured server and sufficient caching running alongside cometchat (which they seem to recommend memcached) all should be fine should it not?
btw how are you testing this live scenario? have you got 30 users connecting from different locations in a real world test?
In reply to: New plugin: BuddyPress Muteyeah no worries mate im just in the middle of something so wont be able to try it till later tonight.
In reply to: New plugin: BuddyPress Mute@henrywright Hey man, im defo going to be trying this one out later today m8, this could be a very useful plugin bud, n1.
In reply to: Chat plugin?as the guy mentioned above cometchat or arrowchat will do this for you but for a whitelabel version (with-out the powered by logo) you will have to pay between $150 and $400 depending what features you want, then if you haven’t got a dedicated server and adequate serverside caching to deal with an excessive amount of chatters at once and you have a busy site you may also need to subscribe to their push service so you don’t grind to a halt ‘so to speak’ .
In reply to: Chat plugin?I don’t understand what you mean because buddypress has private messages built in as standard.
In reply to: Chat plugin?@juliantrueflynn hi m8, i haven’t used cometchat but i have read about it and i believe they have a push service to help with server load if you have too many users at once do they not?
I believe this is charged per how many messages are sent etc, have you tried this service from them at all? im curious!
I also believe you have to have caching correctly configured (either apc or memcached) for it to be utilized efficiently.
In reply to: Merging all BP JS files into oneyes i agree it needs an update but its always worked good for me in the past, did you not check the second link i posted?
it gives you examples on how to dequeue scripts
/** * Dequeue the jQuery UI script. * * Hooked to the wp_print_scripts action, with a late priority (100), * so that it is after the script was enqueued. */ function wpdocs_dequeue_script() { wp_dequeue_script( 'jquery-ui-core' ); } add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'wpdocs_dequeue_script', 100 );In reply to: Merging all BP JS files into onebtw check this out too
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dequeue_scriptIn reply to: Merging all BP JS files into oneIt can be a real pain when combining js scripts so i feel you, i have not yet tried to combine the js files used within buddypress, although i have done this many times with other js files with mixed results, its a case of trial and error manually combining js files, i will probably be trying to do all this myself within my latest buddypress install when the time comes, i would recommend trying a plugin called minqueue to help you combine files as i have used this myself on previous built sites with great results but i have found an issue recently that i posted in the support forum for the plugin which you can read here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-at-first-then-logging-out-and-back-in-stops-it-working?replies=1
maybe you could try it and see if it works for you without the problems i described then i know it wasn’t just my install and config causing it.
The beauty of this plugin is that it lets you see exactly what scripts are loaded on a per page basis via the front end of your site and if you hover over the said scripts it will let you also know the dependencies of each script, then you can add different scripts to be combined in a queue on the backend, the dev has not responded to my support yet there so im still unsure if its my install that is causing the problem, try it and follow the steps i raised in the support and see if it does the same for you.
In reply to: Help to put Favorit button in blog post pageI have posted in the new favorites plugin support asking if the dev could possibly consider adding native support for buddypress here, i suggest others add to it and the dev may respond positively and look into it, who knows… maybe worth a shot https://wordpress.org/support/topic/buddypress-92?replies=1#post-6781081
cheers dan the code is a much better solution than the one i was using earlier bud ;
In reply to: Base/Affiliate Program title colors won’t change@rapforthemoment The answer is actually in your question 🙂 as you already have the code there.
all i did was take the top bit of the code you posted above which would be this
.label,.badge { color:#F9D800; }And then add the color you wanted as well as the !important declaration to it, so the result is as follows
.label,.badge{ color:#cc0200 !important; }The !Important declaration when added to this selector in custom css ensures that it will override the original code as it is given priority.
Hope this explains a little for you.
In reply to: Base/Affiliate Program title colors won’t change.label,.badge{ color:#cc0200 !important; }In reply to: Profile fields and location of users.Cheers shane i have been looking more into it, i will let you know how i get on.
In reply to: Profile fields and location of users.haha i get what you mean dan but im also wanting to integrate a custom members search via location
im not a big fan of the whole username thing, maybe im just old fashioned…i dunno!! lol
@danbp n1 dan, i will try it in next hour or so, haha i love the charging of $$$$ to change their own names hahahaha, that tickled me.
What i want to do is allow them to change usernames and not their real names tbh, i know im doing things backwards but hey..lol, besides brajesh seems to have a neat plugin to allow usernames to be changed, i have disabled signing in with them so this is ideal as now users have to use their emails to sign in.
its ok i posted to soon, after searching for an answer for ages i stumbled upon a working one just now, always the damn case lmao.
If you want to do the same here is the code i came across
add_action( 'xprofile_data_before_save', 'disable_name_change' ); function disable_name_change( $data ) { if ( 1 == $data->field_id ) $data->field_id = false; return $data; }This seems to work ok from initial testing, it could be better though meaning this still lets users type a new name into the profile field but clicking on the save changes button it will now give them an error saying ‘There was a problem updating some of your profile information. Please try again.’
ideally i would rather them not have the option to even try to change it either , if anyone has a better solution give us a shout please, thx
In reply to: NEED HELP PLEASE!@el-parche-stereo hey :), hope our chat helped you out via your live chat on your website hehe, let me know how you get on.
@rosyteddy, haha you legend i nearly spat my coffee all over the desk reading and then viewing that link pmsl, i haven’t been online today so haven’t seen it till now, i cant believe you went to the trouble of mocking that up hahaha
In reply to: [Resolved] Huge gap before Buddypress Profile@rapforthemoment hey, im glad the fix worked for you bud, i noticed you have used the code after re-visiting your website just now, nice website btw, i like the idea behind it 🙂
