@ubernaut

hmmm… so I missed some info 🙁
WP 4.1.1 Multisite, Buddypress 2.2.1, Bp-checkins.1.2.2 – plain, simple, default install, nothing else, Theme is default Twenty Fifteen

Steps to reproduce ( you can test it in localhost in 3 seconds flat)
Install WP 4.1.1, enable Multisite, BP 2.2.1
Enable Bp-checkins.1.2.2 – some links in sidebar as shown in the above picture vanishes
Disable Bp-checkins.1.2.2 – they come back
Most funny is Mr. WordPress on Hello World! – Hello World! disappears but Mr. WordPress remains 🙂

Thanks

@danbp

Thanks. Its not a question of trusting them. I trust always. Issue is:
Suppose you have created a site where your members use this feature and posts pictures not belonging to them in their stream. It is okay but there should be a small note (if the site admin feels so as an option) to say if that is picture is from flickr | original postername (if available) or photobucket or whatever

Asking users to manually add a note won’t work most of the time – it should be and must be solved programmatically. I visited the page https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/design-decisions/#whitelisting-oembed-providers but could not see any comment-box ( although there are other user’s comments)

This should be an issue but in WP main site I have no idea where do I submit “issue”, and even if I do I wonder if there is going to be any response at all. But I think this should be addressed immediately. Thanks.

It depends on your set up. Is it Multisite?

Members can have the RSS widget in sidebar with RSS url being their blog URL. You can activate the RSS widget from the widgets menu in admin area.

You can also use http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddyblog/ – it provides a tab in the profile area that lists the blogs.

There may be other ways also. Thanks.

Hi @sunday-a-james Thats great. Go ahead! Many congrats.

Hi @danbp

I only entered a picture url from photobucket. This works also with the What’s new editor.

Do you know of any plugin or settings that declares the photo credit or copyright below the photo so that when I post such a photo in stream it is clear that this photo is “taken” from elsewhere? Thanks

[@rosyteddy Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

I was just curious and removed buddypress.min.js and buddypress.js
The Whats new box still works for me (with text inputs) and the update is seen instantly 🙂

[@rosyteddy Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

I want to create a customised “SharePics” service button that owners of any other websites on any platform can embed in the codes of their sites for the visitors to be able to share the pictures from their to my site by clicking on the “SharePics” button just like the Share on Facebook button, Pin It to Pinterest

Thats actually a great concept and very useful one too. If we could do that for “Likes” ( or +1) or for “Comments” it would be great. When I say this, people immediately ask
– do I want to be another FB or Google +
– who is going to do that for my site, which i supposedly small, not well known etc

True. But there is no harm in the proof-of-concept. Having our own “Like” and “Comment” system that willing websites can share. But sigh! This is one area no php scripts have ever thought or coded, as far as I know. (If they did, FB would not have this ugly monopoly). There may be workarounds with the codes and protocols already available in wordpress (or for that matter in other scripts) but I am afraid there is no ready-made plugin available.

It maybe done by a DEV for an amount of money, I guess.

That is what is my understanding, I may be wrong. Thanks.

Hi you may check these threads – not sure if they can help you but you may consider to have a look. Have you any custom code and/or various plugins? Thanks.

In …./wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

<?php 
function bbg_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;

    $bp->bp_nav['profile']['position'] = 10;
    $bp->bp_nav['activity']['position'] = 20;
    $bp->bp_nav['blogs']['position'] = 30;
    $bp->bp_nav['friends']['position'] = 40;
    $bp->bp_nav['messages']['position'] = 50;
    $bp->bp_nav['groups']['position'] = 60;
    $bp->bp_nav['settings']['position'] = 70;
}
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'bbg_change_profile_tab_order', 999 ); ?>

does re-order profile tabs – WP 4.1.1 Multisite and BP 2.2.1 – for me it works.

Thanks

[@rosyteddy Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

Hi @danbp Thanks.
I have posted a picture to explain what I mean:
I thought that the code just removes the menu from the Profile menu but not the actual pages.
Using Wp 4.1.1 and BP 2.2.1

Thanks.

[@rosyteddy Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

hi @danbp

Thanks.

One problem with the above code – it seems that when items are removed from the Profile Menu, the links to same items from the top admin bar drop down leads to “Page not found error”

Is this expected or I am doing something wrong? Thanks.

[@rosyteddy Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

Hi @danbp

Thanks a lot.
Is there a similar way (code that can be added like the above) to remove some items from the topmost admin/nav bar for example see the picture :

[@rosyteddy Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

Core WP media and p2 theme gives good galleries without having to use any plugin.
Available media plugins do not use core WP media, so if the users are blogging also the media remains scattered, and not in one central place.

Buddypics by modemlooper allows you to do 2 way commenting and favoriting – users can comment and favorit an image from the post page itself as well as in the activity stream. Buddypics do not offer multiple albums, rtmedia does – but rtmedia does not offer 2 way favoriting – it has its own “like” liking system not integrated with buddypress.
Brajesh’s Mediapress is also a media plugin in evolution and may work well in your setting – it may have some issues with some forms of WP+BP multisite.

Thanks

[@rosyteddy Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

If you need features of BP then you need both, I think so.
But before that you may ask here https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/paid-memberships-pro
if you can exactly do what you are asking for.

Thanks.

Is not Buddypress Registration same as WordPress Registration?
Thanks.

Keep that one Category you want selected by default in the code and hide the entire category field by CSS like display: none;
I am not sure if this will work at or not. Is this a plugin you are using? Does it have its Support forum in wp org or elsewhere?

Thanks.

[@rosyteddy Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

@arcangelgirl You may or may not take this as a starting point :
https://github.com/imath/bp-wake-up-sleepers

You may even politely submit a FR or Feature Request there to include
Users that has never answered to messages.

However, one more thing is not clear to me – you have said
“Is it possible to send a reminder to email to user which did not answer the message within 48 hours etc.?”
How can you be sure that they have on purpose not answered and may be repelled by reminders??

Thanks.

[@rosyteddy Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

Hi @danbp This is pretty cool, fun and useful.

If bp org can add to
About Plugins Themes Documentation **Snippets** Blog Support Download
Snippets that actually work with WP4.1.1, and BP2.2x or BP 2.3 it will be an excellent and useful addition. Infact, users with some repu/creds can be allowed to post such snippets in this section, which can then be rated, commented or tagged. Making it a subsection of forum will make it less prominent but a tab by the side of plugins will be great.

PS: Just curious, is there any such easy code that hides items from the left side nav bar in the site admin’s backend dashboard ?

Hi @danbp Thanks.
I asked there a long time ago 🙂

[@rosyteddy Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

Thanks @danbp
Don’t wonder ! Because devs wanted to concentrate on their plugin, not on a specifical theme. It tooks hard working to isolate bp-default. And certainly not to introduce a new one today.

I fully understand, I have been following BP development for more than 4 years. Please do not get me wrong. There is absolutely no conflict between getting BP to work in any theme and having a standard BP theme, installable just like any other theme 🙂

Have you seen how Profile menus, whats new box etc look jumbled up and crampy in Twenty Fifteen and in many themes. BP works and works fine in all these themes but is non-eye-candy and sometimes non-responsive too. A theme that addresses BP menu structures, its text boxes and buttons and other BP specific things, and can also handle BP plugins in a responsive way is, imho, welcome to many. Among the myriads of themes for WP and BP, none of them are without issues for BP! But this is just a discussion, not rant.

I posted the above screenshot as a low priority, if any user has any idea. I do not mean to take up moderator or developer time 🙂 But thanks again to you and @valuser for the responses. Thanks a lot.

[@rosyteddy Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

@danbp Thanks a lot for hand-holding. I wonder then why BP is not releasing this as a default theme for BP!

I tried with this and got mixed results, if you have a little bit spare time (if you or anyone) please look at the picture http://s24.postimg.org/86a1skqbp/bpthemetryout2.png – can you please say what is going wrong.
