Yes, your words exactly…

“There are many free web products that are awesome – including all of those I just ranted about above. I’m not saying that the work being done here is not appreciated. I’m saying that I’m frustrated with the results I’m getting from this piecemeal approach to creating a website.”

There ARE many free and great plugins but ranting about the things you can’t get is silly in comparison. You get a lot for free and when you you need that one more thing you will either have to get it by other means that I have stated above. BuddyPress will never be all things to everyone so you will always have to go piecemeal, as you say.

I’m not being condescending, just stating the facts.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

Did we mention it’s FREE!

No one is obligated to provide you any functionality. Rants like these are useless. Your options are to build your own functionality or hire a developer to create functionality or fix broken plugin.

try switching theme and or other plugins off. could be a javascript conflict

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

plugin might have broke on 1.7 I haven’t had time to update it.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

To use it elsewhere you would need to get the value of the field and pass it to wp_oembed_get. This is not tested:

$val = bp_member_profile_data('field=youtube'); // in members loop
$val = xprofile_get_field_data( 'youtube' , $user_id ); // outside members loop

$embed = wp_oembed_get( $val, array( 'width' => 400 ) );

echo $embed

In my previous example I have a provider array. These are the names of your profile fields not the actual service.

folder should be buddyshare

Sorry, use this example https://gist.github.com/modemlooper/5416410

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

That example is outdated for BP 1.7

This
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_core_template_plugin’, ‘members/single/plugins’ ) );

should be

bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/plugins’ );

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

Subscribers do not have access to the admin. If you have the Extended Profiles option turned on in the admin then BP users edit profiles at /members/USERNAME/profile/edit

I haven’t used TML plug, have you tried another login redirect plugin?

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

sorry, moved it to github

https://github.com/modemlooper/BuddyShare

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

Did you try putting the full path to admin-ajax.php?

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

60% of the plugins listed here https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins are not really BuddyPress plugins. Plugin developers tag it BuddyPress to try and get more downloads.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

Themes that were made before 1.7 may have issues as most are a derivative of the bp-default theme. Especially if they include a lot of custom template files and code.

The developer posted a comment https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-1-7-is-now-available-2/page/2/#post-161686

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

So many problems with that theme. >.< They probably added a component via the theme and it's outdated code.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

You use a language file. Use this plugin to easily edit the language. You can use your same language to just change the text.

You can get the password out of the db but it’s not safe.

why the need, users rarely change a password?

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

it’s a security check but if you must

echo password into field and make field hidden.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

your members directory list doesnt show all members?

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

Double check. This only happens if a BuddyPress component is added. A theme can add components.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

It’s most likely the same code in both versions. If it’s true it’s a bug but you could always create your own widgets.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

Search page? There is no Search component. Is that a plugin you installed to add a search component?

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

create a file in your theme with this directory structure.

yourtheme/buddypress/members/register.php

you can copy this file over from the buddypress plugin folder under bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php

Edit the file to your liking.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 6 months ago]

yes.
