That plugin is not compatible with BP 1.2.

Wow! Didn’t know AJAX IM changed their interface to resemble Facebook’s chat!

Is the AJAX IM demo working for any of you though?

[EDIT]

Working in Chrome, Safari and surprisingly IE8, but not Firefox or Opera.

Getting some JS issues for the latter.

Copy /bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php to your child theme.

Remove the login block and you should be good to go.

Until the BP.org site is updated, the better place for job advertisements, for now, is:

@toddfarmer

A few people have asked for this; this plugin doesn’t work for blog comments.

I’ll be releasing a separate plugin for that late this week as I don’t want to bundle it with the oEmbed BP plugin.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

Please keep it civil, people.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

Nice work!

I’ve only tried the AJAXed quote so far, but it works as advertised.

A suggestion for AJAXed quote, perhaps add a link to the post that’s mentioned for the “said” text.

Also couldn’t BBcode be enabled across all components and not just the forums? I had a similar port of _ck_’s BBcode plugin doing this.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

There’s no admin feature to change the text of the activation email, but you can apply a filter to it.

Put this in your theme’s functions.php:

function my_activation_email($message) {

$message = str_replace('Thanks for registering! To complete the activation of your account please click the following link:','My message is the best message ever.



Really it is.



So I guess you should activate your account now.', $message);



return $message;

}

add_filter('bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_message','my_activation_email');

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

I’m going to let you try this on your own

Don’t worry! I’ll give you some hints.

Create a function like the above and then find the appropriate BP action to hook your function to.

Look in /buddypress/bp-activity.php. Do a search for “do_action”.

If you want more hints, the BP actions are:

– bp_activity_posted_update

– bp_activity_comment_posted

You might want to subtract points if someone deletes their own activity as well.

@socialpreneur

This plugin does not support xprofiles. Not sure if I want to add it.

@kriskl

I still have to post an update to the plugin first, which will allow users to support non-oEmbed sites (you’ll have to write the script to add support yourself… please read the FAQ). This will come in the next day or two.

I’m not really taking requests for sites at the moment, sorry.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

Every step, huh? Looks like I hooked into the wrong group action

I modified the post above to the correct action now.

Functions.php is fine.

You can also try this method by Boone Gorges if your install is on the same domain:

The blog avatar in the blogs directory is the user’s avatar who created the blog.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

Cool plugin! I’ll have to play around with this at some point.

Anyway, back to your question.

Look around the BP code and find anything that says “do_action”; this is where you can hook your functions into a BP action.

For instance, to add 10 CubePoints when creating a group, add the following to your theme’s functions.php or /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php.

function my_bp_create_group_add_cppoints() {

if( function_exists('cp_alterPoints') && is_user_logged_in() ){

cp_alterPoints(cp_currentUser(), 10);

cp_log('User created a group -- +10 points', cp_currentUser(), 10, 1);

}

}

add_action('groups_group_create_complete','my_bp_create_group_add_cppoints');

In this case, we hooked the cp_alterPoints() and cp_log() functions to the groups_group_create_complete hook found in /buddypress/bp-groups.php.

In the next little while, I’m going to try and add a bit of documentation to the codex.

It’s like Facebook.

There are no open forums in Facebook, is there?

If you change your permalinks, old blog post activity items will not be updated to the new permalink structure

My suggestion would be to redirect these old blog post permalinks to their new ones using a WP plugin.

I’ve used this one in the past:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/permalinks-migration-plugin-for-wordpress/

It’s a little old, but it worked for me.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Did you get any errors in your server log when you couldn’t get into wp-admin?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Damn cat! How many blogs did you have?

If it’s less than, say, 10, it wouldn’t be too much of a hassle to manually recreate the missing table and add back the rows.

Here’s the SQL query to recreate the wp_blogs table. Run this query in your WPMU database.

http://pastebin.com/0gEiQ3ji

After you’ve added the table, click on the wp_blogs table, then click on the “Insert” button to manually add each blog to your wp_blogs table.

For reference, you might want to look at your WPMU database and make note of each blog id and URL.

What’s wrong with the default blogs directory?

eg. example.com/blogs

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

You might need this at the top of your .htaccess as well:

Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes

If you don’t have a similar line like this in your .htaccess, add it.
