Can you give us examples of the embed code? When you post in this forum make sure to surround the code with:

<code>
</code>

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

Or would that be:


function my_activity_avatar_changed() {

//then pass in whatever array args you want to the activity item
xprofile_record_activity( $user_id, $component );
echo ("$user_id->display_name has a new $component");
}
add_action(‘xprofile_avatar_uploaded’,'my_activity_avatar_changed’);

I think he still wants the ability to tag people in posts, just not have to use the @username method. Basically a more semantic method… which is kind of like asking for the moon. I think it can be done, it’d just be a huge pain to code.

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

I know that with CSS you could make the fonts invisible and the image to small to see… but that’s probably not what you’re after.

Excited about the social media links plugin. Make sure to upload it to the plugins directory.

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

So I’m looking at this page. Would these be the 10 appropriate variables?

'user_id' => $bp->loggedin_user->id,
'action' => '',
'content' => '',
'primary_link' => '',
'component' => $bp->profile->id,
'type' => false,
'item_id' => false,
'secondary_item_id' => false,
'recorded_time' => gmdate( "Y-m-d H:i:s" ),
'hide_sitewide' => false


So for example?

function my_activity_avatar_changed() {

//then pass in whatever array args you want to the activity item
xprofile_record_activity( $user_id, $component );
echo ("

$user_id has a new $component

");
}
add_action(‘xprofile_avatar_uploaded’,'my_activity_avatar_changed’);

I’ve been studying the WP and BP Core structure and the Buddypress Like plugin files for the last several hours. I feel kind of stupid that this is all I can come up with for now. I know there’s a bunch wrong with it. but I have to start somewhere. Does this look like the right form?


if (xprofile_avatar_uploaded == true) {

function bp_new_avatar_uploaded() {
echo "$user_id has updated their avatar";
}
add_action ('bp_activity_filter_options', 'bp_new_avatar_uploaded');

}


[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

Ah, interesting idea. It kind of furthers the idea of having different sized avatars.

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

And what did support@apollohosting-inc.com say when you contacted them?

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

Actually, you’ll want to ask that in the plugin’s forum here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

code sample?

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

:bump:

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

You’ll find this useful.

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Ah, glad that you figured that one out. What server were you using previously and which one are you using now?

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

@hempsworth, do you have any insights on this?

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Whoops, yes, you’re absolutely right. I use child themes myself. Just a slip of the mind.

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Open the theme file in website.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/style.css

On the very last line add

body {background:url(/images/shuswapsocialnetworkbackground.jpg) no-repeat !important;}


FTP that back to your site and see if it makes the change. Double check that your URL path for your jpg is valid too.

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

I think that a savvy plugin-author would integrate BP with another opensource platform like phpBB. That way the energies of the phpBB team would be harnessed to BP use.

It’s kind of like horses and a wagon. phpBB is the horse and BP is the wagon. There’s no need to breed, grow, and train a horse from birth for your wagon. Just buy one that someone else has raised and hitch it to your wagon.

But all of that is much easier said than done. @dennis_h, are you a coder?

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Actually, I’m a proponent of unified search. Is that a feature or BP 1.2.4 I hope?

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

You can either edit the header.php file of your theme, or create your own custom language file. I’d probably try the latter: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-rename-the-favorite-button-on-the-activity-stream/

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Actually, from first blush I was under the impression that unified search would be a feature of BP 1.2.4. Am I wrong?

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

I agree that a feature for editing activity stream items would be nice. Not even admins can do that.

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Was this for the BP default theme?

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Can’t wait either… Privacy would/will be phenomenal…

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

@foxly, @francescolaffi, Congratulations on your GSoC acceptance!

Even if all the new features aren’t added yet, I would just love to be able to give this functionality to my community. What do you think the timeline is for the first “production-ready” release?
