Read up on this:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/

There’s also a plugin that makes it easier to modify the admin bar:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-admin-bar-mods/

I haven’t tried it, but give it a shot and let us know what you think of it!

Forgot to list oEmbed for BuddyPress

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/

v0.6 coming on the weekend or a day or two after that.

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

The only media options right now are third-party plugins.

BP-Gallery seems to be close to a release for v1.2 – http://buddydev.com (paid plugin)

Kaltura for BP hasn’t been updated to v1.2. I would suggest you contact them for an update:

@jorisdieben

I could probably create a version just for comments.

I don’t want to bundle it with the BP version though.

Stay tuned.

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

FYI, you should be using WP 2.9+ for BP 1.2.1.

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

Your Alexa ranking isn’t too bad!

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

Try modifying some of these settings in /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php or in wp-config.php:

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH', 50 );

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT', 50 );

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH', 150 );

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT', 150 );

Hi Rob,

You shouldn’t have created another thread for this.

But anyway! Modify the CSS snippet I gave you yesterday to:

.members ul.item-list li {clear:both;}

Again, let me know if this makes any other part of your site look weird.

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

Since filters require some knowledge with WordPress, I’d recommend the CSS route.

Put this in your stylesheet:

.activity-list .activity-content img.thumbnail {display:none;}

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

You could try the performance tips listed here:

Yes, I agree two plugins in one day is too cool for school!

Thanks Dwenaus!

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

I’m in favour of it. Makes sense from an usability perspective and it doesn’t alienate the forums as you mentioned.

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

No war here! Just friendly diplomacy!

Anyway I wave my white flag in advance!

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

Here’s what I’m using for:

My Profile tab:

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

<li<?php if ( bp_is_my_profile() ): ?> class="selected"<?php endif; ?>>

<a href="<?php echo bp_get_loggedin_user_link(); ?>" title="<?php _e( 'My Profile', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'My Profile', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

</li>

<?php endif; ?>

Members tab:

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) || bp_is_member() && !bp_is_my_profile()) : ?> class="selected"<?php endif; ?>>

<a href="<?php echo site_url() ?>/<?php echo BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ?>/" title="<?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

</li>

Slightly simpler than yours. But if there’s an even, simpler way let me know!

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

Good job!

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

I’ve done this tip to my own child theme, Dwenaus.

I might be using a slight variation on what you posted though.

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

@nexia

It’s doable. You’ll need to modify the theme and use a lightbox-type script.

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

Try this:

.dir-list ul.item-list li {clear:both;}

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

I had something like this working before in BP 1.1.3.

You’ll have to modify the /bp-default/members/single/member-header.php file. If you have a child theme, copy this file over and make adjustments.

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

@xspringe

hnla is correct.

If you want the wire, install the backwards compatibility plugin.

All wire messages are converted to activity items. Check out http://testbp.org as an example.

You’re correct that the only way to post a message is to mention them or by replying to an update the user already wrote.

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

Cool! Be sure to green light this thread!

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

Apply a filter to bp_activity_thumbnail_content_images.

The simplest way would be to hide the image via CSS.

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

Add this to your stylesheet:

ul.item-list li {clear:both;}

Let me know if this makes any other parts of your site wonky though.

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

Diagonal means you need to add some CSS styles.

Probably need a “clear:both” somewhere in your stylesheet.

Link?

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

@modemlooper

Can’t you already resize oEmbedded items via CSS right now? There’s conditional CSS classes for the body, I’m sure you can target those for the activity stream.

CSS selectors for activity stream page only:

body.page-parent .activity-inner img, body.page-parent .activity-inner object, body.page-parent .activity-inner embed {width: whatever);

Of course this wouldn’t look great for videos. Like I said, I’ll look into it.

@gregfielding

I was just looking at ustream again. It doesn’t appear to offer native oEmbed support.

If you want to use the actual embed code, you’ll need to override the group description filter so this plugin wouldn’t work in this case.

—

@oicolague

I can make the plugin work for group descriptions.

Expect this feature in a future release.
