@techguy thanks but i did try that and it only removes from adminbar not the member profile nav bar. what i’ve ended up doing that works i guess is to use css.

#blogs-personal-li {
display:none;
}

what i’m on: bp 1.2.3, mu 2.9.2, and tweetstream 1.2.3

getting Call to undefined function bcpow()…tweetstream-functions.php on line 1097 after trying to post update

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

@r-a-y is similar because it seems that all links take me to the main blog author template which is cool. but I’d like to keep things as is and be selective with what links i send to the author page so instead, from my profile home, add ‘quicklinks’ to the various subblogs i’ve authored on not only the main blog.

I was able to link to the individual blogs users are admin on, by using bp_has_blogs(‘user_id=’ . $bp->displayed_user->id == $bp->loggedin_user->id) but i guess that only works for being an admin of a blog. what if user has contributed to another blog on the system, how to link over to the author posts template for that user, is the thing

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

the_author_posts_link();

any help here? If member has posts archives page on multiple blogs on the system, how would i link from the member profile directly to the authors archive on specific blogs.

thanks in advance

would be interesting. anything out there like this?

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

would be interesting as a standalone member profile plugin for simply a widget on the profile as well. i’ve found if the bp site isn’t specializing in highlighting and managing member social media like a cliqset.com does – then all that extra activity floods the site burying relevant original site activity. would love to see it in action in terms of BP activity on my personal lifestream site though.

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

glad if it’s in addition not a replacement*…because it’s completely different dynamic depending on what you set out for a community. @djpaul will the plugin replace friends once activated or will it be in addition to? I’m thinking about and working on having both options, to friend and then be able to follow specific activities even beyond member activity such as groups, blogs, links, images, topic, searchkeyword….so its not follow member, it’s follow X activity and categorize my followings. anyway just what i’m thinking as how i’d try to use it …either way can’t wait to test it out.

How to trim title in the Links Widget? How can i do this? could it come standard as most links I see come thru have the long blogger seo titles (titles who themselves need titles I know it can be edited first thing when adding it but I’d like to keep those super duper titles for the single pages.

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

I’m pretty sure this was mentioned…but I’m all for badge maker for groups for a future version. thanks again for this.

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

how would you remove items from the menu without disabling the component? Still want to make use of blog tracking but don’t need the blogs menu item. If members are only allowed 1 blog there is really no need for this in the menu.

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

nice one. would be good to admin what profile fields should be made available to user. I have long list of fields that only get used as custom fields for other purposes than regular display. but yea some changes on backend don’t update on front, specifically the V/H Layout option didn’t work by setting it in admin, only when i set to allow user to decide layout does it update on hitting update badge. btw what’s the best way to overwrite the default logo image. thanks.

‘<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

<?php locate_template( array(‘loggedinmessage.php’), true) ?>

<?php else:?>

<?php locate_template( array(‘forloggedoutmessage.php’), true) ?>

<?php endif;?>’

something like this. there’s probably a better way to do it but this works for me. in your message file edit it the way you want to manage your message. this is 2 messages, you can leave out the first one to show blank for logged in users

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

@r-a-y i guess i mean more for a public message for non logged in. best example that I can think of is the logged out twitter or blipfm message box above profiles prompting new eyeballs to register.

never really knew about the notices feature. where does it currently display?

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

i’ve done this by adding a message box b/n the header and div content line in the home.php of the bp-default/members/single folder. i’ve hardcoded the message but you could probably pull in a specific wp page’s content.

would be good to have a plugin that would let you admin a message in case there’s news or updates to the message if you think its going to change that often. I don’t see a need for one since you could just change the content from the wp page you’re pulling the message from.

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

wonder if it can work off of andy’s group external blog feeds plugin. I’m thinking you add a favorite/follow link on the sub blogs and it imports the feed url of that blog into a feed reader that could be placed in a widget for the profile sidebar or be included in the ajax activity stream like the other components. I’m starting with the rss importer into a standalone widget, then I’ll see if I can apply it to the activity stream so it works similarly to the groups external blogs plugin.

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

yes. that and finding the answer by the taking 5 more minutes to read.

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

by adding an album folder to my theme and add the desired modified files.

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

thanks. was looking for exactly this. i’ve been hardcoding this stuff…figured one day i’d need to start cleaning up the rummaged mess of files i have going. tx both

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

define(‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true); kills it. try removing the admin bar with one of the plugins that are out there and then see if that works.

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Are you logged in or logged out? link color not visible, maybe.

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Chouf1 – hola hola, thanks, will take a look. have you seen this in action anywhere?

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

I use this in a custom admin menu. you may need to fiddle with it to make it dropdown. I had to add a dropdown menu style.

<li> | <?php bp_adminbar_notifications_menu(); ?> </li>

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

Let me put it another way simply. Trying to take an already existing wp blog (by wp blog I mean being used as cms not a blog) with members and converting it to a wpmu/bp site. Now i’d like to retrofit those members with blogs, a bulk edit.

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

working on something similar to “favorite” posts or post types and their comments, when I came across this topic. It would be good to see a follow/friend-like action rather than bpfavorite for member blogs though, that way we can track all the blog activity – posts, comments, and other members who have also followed that particular blog(s)…bpfavorite is static save but I’m pretty sure you meant to follow activity streams. looking forward to seeing something come soon

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

hm. don’t really see it as forcing a blog on a user if the intent of the site is to have a blog? The intent for sites like tumblr,posterous is to have a blog come standard, the user knows that. You have to remember not all sites using wpmu/bp are the standard default blog setup you are thinking of. I can see why you would say that, I wouldn’t create new blogs either..but the intent here is building a website that revolves around niche blogging…so users know what they are getting from get go. hmm. think again of posterous, tumblr, you get a blog at signup not to choice to create a blog or not. it just comes standard. user chooses to use it or not afterwards.
