The more reason I would like an android app for buddypress site is in the cropping of photo when changing the profile avatar. For sometime now this has been giving me a serious headache seeing my website filled up with the default mystery avatars, I sort to find out while and the response I got from everyone was that they could not crop their images on mobile especially when using mini version of some mobile browsers like opera mini, uc browser mini and others which of course is good for minimizing data usage.Even with the normal mobile browser the experience is still very poor. It’s time the developers at buddypress take the issue of mobile version a serious issue. It would be okay if the cropping process in buddypress can automatically detect when on mobile and use the phone hardware to crop the photo before upload. It’s generally best to crop on phone hardware than on mobile browsers, beta still to auto resize and upload would be great. I pray someone can develop a plugin for this.
croping avatar on mobile phone not supported on all mobile browsers especially operal mini and the mini versions of other mobile browsers. Also low end smartphones cannot handle this thereby, given the user no ability to change their avatar on mobile phone.work great on PC, but as we all know these days users uses their mobile phone to access internet more than PC. It would have been great if buddypress was coded specifically to allow croping on mobile phone media library before uploading to the web just like the way whatsapp does. In whatapp user must first crop the image in media library before uploading.This is the reason why I will like disable avatar croping in buddypress avatar upload.
@Henry new bug has been found on the code.it fails to get the username
e.g
1.before the code we have:
themeethurpe changed their profile picture 1 week ago
2.after the code has been added we now have:
changed his profile picture 2 days, 23 hours ago
“themeethurpe” as in the above is the username which the code has omitted,however the code has successfully solved the initial problem it was intended to solve,but obviously with it inability to get the username shows that it needs to be reviewed.We appriciate your prompt contribution @Henry.
if ( $gender == ‘Male’ ) {
$entry = sprintf( __( ‘%s changed his profile picture’, ‘buddypress’ ), $userlink );
} else if ( $gender == ‘Female’ ) {
$entry = sprintf( __( ‘%s changed her profile picture’, ‘buddypress’ ), $userlink );
} else {
// the user hasn’t told us if they are male or female so do nothing
}
return $entry;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_xprofile_new_avatar_action’, ‘custom_activity_text_change_avatar’, 10, 2 );
I will like to change it to HIS for male,HER for female and their for female I’m comfortable with that.As Henry explain above i think using a filter code like this will do the work only if i know how to correctly apply it in the buddypress core. Please lend your support. Thanks
“if ( is a male ) {
// the filter will be ‘his’
} else if{
//is a female, the filter will be ‘her’
}
else {
// a group, e.g company; the filter will be ‘their’
}”
In the above line of activity “themeethurpe” is a username of a guy who changes his profile picture, but as you can see, “their” above was surpose to be a singular pronoun “his” referring to a man not two or group of people. The same thing happens either for man or woman, I just wish buddypress could differentiate a man from woman in the activities stream using profile information just like facebook and other social network site instead of using plural pronoun “THEIR” for all.
Kindly help out Henry in fixing this filter my problem is not different I have created a profile field Namely gender using radio button in buddypress xprofile members now have opportunity to select their gender male or female. Happy new year friends.
