Almost!

Hey Rich, this is a better hook: xprofile_avatar_uploaded

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Okay file count isn’t working, but we’re getting somewhere
I’ll reply back with a better filecount function.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Yeah sorry, didn’t mean to sound harsh! We all start out somewhere!

You’d have to “explode” the input variable. Look up “php explode” on Google.

Then you’ll have to run a cool foreach loop… good thing about building a plugin is you learn!

Always good to have options. Four coders on the project sound good.

Here’s one thing that caught my eye when the Diaspora coders were talking about similar projects that failed (DiSo):
http://joindiaspora.com/2010/04/30/a-response-to-mr-villa.html

To answer directly, I am pretty sure DISO failed because:

1) They tried to add on to WordPress, a project which was not designed from the ground up to be a distributed network.

2) (a guess) they quickly tried to support all sort of features without building some sort of common infrastructure before trying to add functionality.

I would have replied and mentioned BP of course
But I also get their point.

Try echoing $filecount see if anything outputs.
Also echo the $path to see if it correctly outputs the upload path.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Try this in your stylesheet:
#content #leftSidebar, #sidebar .padder {padding:0 !important;}

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Why are you separating the functions for the same action?

Look how cleaner this is:

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

That’s a pretty messy conditional – it’s not great to have functions within functions.

I took a little deeper look at the BP code for avatars and the following should work, though I haven’t tested it:

This thread should be developer-focused and less “why aren’t you guys doing anything about it?”.

I don’t want to start moderating this thread, but please keep comments focused on combatting spam instead of bickering about it.
We are all aware of the problem.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

If you’re using your plugin internally, you don’t really have to worry about loading a template.

Loading templates are useful for other BP themes.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

If you’re using standard WP, you should be able to use any ecommerce plugin that’s available for WP.

techguy is right.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Remember that style.css file you created for your child theme?

Open style.css in a text editor and add the snippet above to the end of style.css.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Nice job, Mr. Pratt!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Did you get to step 3 of the plugin?

It gives explicit instructions on how to modify the template to match your WordPress theme.

—

If BuddyPress pages are not aligned correctly then you will need to modify some of the templates to match your theme’s HTML structure.

Then open up the page.php file (if this does not exist use index.php). Make note of the HTML template structure of the file, specifically the [div] tags that surround the content and sidebar.

You will need to change the HTML structure in the BuddyPress templates that you copied into your theme to match the structure in your page.php or index.php file. The files that you need to edit are as follows (leave out any folders you have not copied over in step two):

* /activity/index.php
* /blogs/index.php
* /forums/index.php
* /groups/index.php
* /groups/create.php
* /groups/single/home.php
* /groups/single/plugins.php
* /members/index.php
* /members/single/home.php
* /members/single/plugins.php
* /registration/register.php

Once you are done matching up the HTML structure of your theme in these template files, please take another look through your site. You should find that BuddyPress pages now fit inside the content structure of your theme.

—

If you can’t get this to work, just use a pre-made BuddyPress theme.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

That link only gives you the latest bleeding build of BuddyPress.
It has absolutely nothing to do with building a theme.

I hate to repeat myself, but…

If you want to customize or make changes to the default BP theme, read the following article to create a child theme:
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

If you’re using an existing WordPress theme, then only use the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin with your WordPress theme:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

It helps if you know the basics of developing webpages and/or creating a WordPress theme. If you have no idea how to do either, you might find theme customization challenging.

Check out any type of jQuery lightbox script for WP:

New version of the oEmbed plugin will allow you to define a fixed width in the activity stream and activity permalink. I guess I could add a resize option for forum posts.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Requires a custom plugin. Such a plugin doesn’t exist at the moment.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Either add the snippet to /_inc/ccs/custom.css or add it directly to style.css.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

@cdmmcg – Just add a conditional WP tag to the bp_is_register_page() line.

is_page('your-page-slug')

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Add the following to your theme’s stylesheet:

div#topic-meta h3 {padding-bottom: 1em;}

I just talked things over with Andrea; I’ll be releasing a plugin shortly with the code snippets posted above.
I’ll add private message username overrides as well. Is there any other place where display names are used?

However, I do see some benefit with leaving the “Name” field on the registration page. The name gets displayed on a BP profile – eg. http://testbp.org/members/andy/profile/.

Also Twitter does something similar; they add the “Name” field to the sidebar of each profile.

FYI, first name, last name and nickname fields are not added to the registration page unless you manually created them as xprofile fields. Look at testbp.org’s registration page for an example: http://testbp.org/accounts/
