Is it compatible with current versions?

Where isa link to download it and test?

[@ronia Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

@bphelp that does not answer the questions 🙁

[@ronia Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

Two very important things as I am testing 1.7 but not finding

1 . How do I let a site member block another site member from posting to him/ seeing her profile and activities?

2. How do a site member makes her blog post / photo viewable to a friend/friends only?

3. How to post comment to a blog post from activity ( see oxwall.org) ?

I had the problem of “no submit button” on status message with the latest BP – it was due to some other plugin using some sort of jquery. I had to disable one by one and get back the “submit button”. Thus apparently it was not fault of the latest BP. You have mentioned you have turned off all BUT sometimes, I have seen, js files remaining in browser /server cache/memory whatever.

What happens (for member pages) if it is ordered by alphabetical ?

Stubborn files not getting deleted may be deleted by FTP or Control Panel/Admin Panel of your webhost but this may also break things so backup!

A good idea will be test things on locathost with WAMP or similar, with latest stable BP and WP and see whether things are working for you. If they do work, it will mean cleaning/changing files manually and/or db tables will get the things back in shape.

I am not a pro, in fact really have no expertise but these are somethings I do myself when stuck.

Hmm Does BP 1.5 solve this?

[@ronia Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

@stwc sorry to bother you again. I saw your site and thats cool!
One thing, I got that snippet working but how to make “Reply” vanish selectively for the blog posts and blog comments ?

Another thing, have you been able to add “Favorite” button in the blog post itself so that there is something like “Like”(wordpress.com Like not FB) below the blog posts itself also?

[@ronia Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

@stwc oh sorry! Got the link, will check out. Thnx again!

[@ronia Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

Thanks Ray, but I need to show (as any social network will do) blog posts in the stream. Think of FB Notes, their equivalent of blog, where users can reply both from stream or in the Notes (blog) itself. Its difficult and confusing for readers if blog is not truly integrated. More so when album=photo blog does this but wp blog=text blog does not do this. This is broken UX and workflow for users.

@stwc can you kindly give the link and is there any working site demo-ing this? Thanks a lot for the tips!

Is buddypress.org using latest WP+BP+ latest Buddypress Follow.
I cannot seem to get them work though they worked in the previous versions. Its a fresh install of atest WP+BP+ latest Buddypress Follow but Follow button or sidebar widget does not show up.
I am badly stuck up – any idea to get this working?

[@ronia Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

The title should read – Need help to make ”Like” work in WP 3.2 and latest BP together
When I clicked Edit Topic there is a message – Page not found

[@ronia Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Where can I find a list of files that has been changed (and those untouched) via a comparison between BP 1.2.8 and 1,2,7? I am sure it was somewhere but not finding that currently.

Savannah, the groups of friends are for my convenience. Why shall ‘they’ join the groups? Social networking is supposed to be an easy experience and not round-about way of doing things. Also if each member has such closed groups imagine the number of groups shooting up like anything which will be closed to the community.

This cannot be the solution.

[@ronia Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Savannah, ummm?

[@ronia Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Buddypress has ‘generic’ friends. But friends can be of various types or groups:
for example:
close buddies
office collegues
parents etc

Facebook , Orkut etc lets group your friends according to your choice/privacy.
Script like elgg at elgg.org allows to group friends into ‘collections.’
Thus when you post a blog or picture you specify which collection can see it:
close buddies
office collegues
parents
all etc

Just generic “friends” seems prehistoric and this is an immediate requirement involved site members are asking otherwise sharing content is becoming critically impossible w.r.t what to share with whom.

[@ronia Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Any clue?

[@ronia Participant 15 years, 11 months ago]

The default crop results in a final image that is different from default crop area shown.
Moving the crop handle even slightly results in proper cropping.
This is confirmed to occur in all browsers in all congurations in all fresh installs of fresh WP 3 and fresh latest downloadable BP 1.2.5.2.

[@ronia Participant 15 years, 11 months ago]

No only WP and BP nothing else.

[@ronia Participant 15 years, 11 months ago]

@alicethewonder – I did . Still no luck. I am using *subdirectory* type of Multisite. BP Avatar works fine in activity, BP profile etc but Gravatar still shows up in WP blog comments. Can the php gurus pleaseee help!

[@ronia Participant 15 years, 11 months ago]

Shouldn’t this be possible if Buddypress is not network activated but just plain activated ?

[@ronia Participant 15 years, 11 months ago]

@bennadler – Thanks again. Where exactly you have put bp-custom.php ? I tried in all the documented paths, and yes php code wrapped around. My test site is ** subdirectory ** based and cannot get to work. A link to your active site will be appreciated.

[@ronia Participant 15 years, 11 months ago]

@bennadler – Thanks! But it is not WordPress MU – it is WordPress 3 as multisite (sub directories) – the code is not working.

[@ronia Participant 15 years, 11 months ago]

Same problem!

[@ronia Participant 15 years, 11 months ago]

Since Activity streams and Friends are out of the box features these days in popular soft-wares whether complex like Elgg or simple like Vanilla forums, I think it is high-time BP is integrated out of box in WP 3 now that WPMU and WP merged. It should not be too difficult where Matt and Andy are there – if they sit together this can be solved even by today evening

[@ronia Participant 15 years, 11 months ago]

Yep Alice but that does not solve the problem. This bug was not there prior to 1.2.4 perhaps so users who were using those cannot upgrade now because the members will be critically affected at loss of their photo in blog posts, comments etc.

[@ronia Participant 15 years, 11 months ago]

WordPress 3
Buddypress 1.2.5.2
Fresh new installations
(No upgrades, no conversions, just Multisite/multiblog and subdirectory from the beginning)
Sample blog post – http://kmela.net/kc/newdemo/2010/07/06/new-post-one/
Sample activity stream – http://kmela.net/kc/members/newdemo/activity/

User newdemo is confused as she uploaded her avatar from BP but cannot see that in her blog comment
