Keep an eye on the latest builds of the BP Album+ plugin:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/topic/latest-version-nightly-build/

It’s progressing quite nicely. Keep in mind that these builds are development versions suited for test installs, rather than production environments.

The stable version is good as well, but lacks many features that the nightly builds have.

@kevbow – Some sleep for me helped!

Your image URL from Pastebin worked, but when I went to your site in IE8, there was an additional backslash added to the avatar image URL:
http:///vapersplace.com/wp-content/uploads/avatars/1802/191f39155d4b7abce53b63d5972abc9c-bpthumb.jpg

This is an odd one for sure!

Can you please try the updated code for avatars and see if it fixes your problem?
https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/branches/1.2/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php?rev=3055

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

Working for me in IE8.

Try deleting your temporary internet files. Or try a restart. Sometimes IE is screwy!
Also, IE8’s InPrivate filter could be blocking your images.

FYI, I did start something over on the bpdevel site about this back in May:
http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2010/05/05/summary-of-may-5th-dev-chat/#comment-254

Feel free to add to the writeboard.

From LPH’s list, I view #2, #3, and possibly #6 as vital.

Use a WordPress plugin like “Mail From”:

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

The only requirements for registration are:

-Username
-Email Address
-Password
-Display Name

Apart from that, set all your other xprofile fields as “not required” on the “BuddyPress > Profile Field Setup” page.

You might have to edit the /registration/register.php template file depending on how much you want to modify the look and feel of the page.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

Yes they can!

eg. example.com/members/THE_USER/profile/edit

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

Settings page uses the /members/single/plugins.php template file.

Activity permalink uses /members/single/activity/permalink.php, which in turns uses /activity/entry.php.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

I don’t have experience with that one, but it’s rather old.

The one I listed has been recommended by many. Though, things like FB avatars will not work out of the box; there’s a solution listed on the plugin author’s comment section.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

That’s correct, Nahum.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

I don’t think that’s the case.

You only have a blog if you’re the administrator of a blog.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

re: register button, read this:

re: admin bar – Hard to tell since we don’t have your custom theme to look at. Check your stylesheet for a line like this:
#wp-admin-bar {display:none;}

and remove it. If you don’t see such a line, then you have some custom code in your child theme’s functions.php.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

I can confirm it works

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

It doesn’t matter if you install WP or BP first.

The only thing you have to take into consideration before upgrading BP is to deactivate any other BP plugins you’re currently using:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/upgrading-from-10x/

If you’re upgrading from WPMU 2.9.2 to WP 3.0, read this guide by Pete Mall:
http://developersmind.com/2010/06/17/upgrading-wordpress-mu-2-9-2-to-wordpress-3-0/

It’s also a good idea to backup every step of the way. Before upgrading to WP 3.0, backup. Before upgrading to BP 1.2.4.1, backup.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

Which FB plugin are you using?

This is the one I’m referring to:
http://www.justin-klein.com/projects/wp-fb-autoconnect

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

When using the WP-FB-AutoConnect plugin, you cannot have more than one Login to Facebook button on the same page.

Just re-reading Boone’s blog post and I think the link I provided isn’t applicable to viau5’s problem.

Disregard what I wrote.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

According to Boone, user themes are broken in WordPress 3.0:

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

Unless I’m wrong, that plugin requires users to be externally authenticated, so it doesn’t take into consideration WordPress’ existing accounts.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

@nahummadrid – Thanks! That clears up things!
You should preferably add the users to the blog.

Try a plugin like this:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-default-user-role/

Or, customize this per blog with:
add_user_to_blog( $key, $user_id, $value );

https://codex.wordpress.org/WPMU_Functions/add_user_to_blog

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

The problem is WordPress doesn’t support HTTP authentication, which is what is used for most password-protected RSS feeds.

Not much you can do at the moment… unless someone else has any other ideas?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

RSS is probably disabled because the group is private.
If it was made available, anyone could access your private group’s activities!

Though if you’re logged in, it should work fine.

You could hack the groups_action_group_feed() function in /bp-groups.php to make this wide open though.
Or remove this function and create your own.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 4 months ago]

I’m having a hard time understanding your use case.
Maybe because I didn’t get much sleep last night!

If you’re a super admin and you’re posting on someone else’s blog that you’re not a member of, your posts will probably not count (don’t quote me on that!).

Btw, nice BP theme!
