@mercime P.S. In the survey results you’ve posted http://mercime.github.io/buddyPress-2014-survey-results/index.html (awesome job by the way), when 62.31% people list Responsive and 41.33% list Responsive, mobile-first as their Preferred BP Theme Features, to which specific aspect do you think they are referring?
@mercime C’mon! Even Chris Coyier (the first ever to try making a table responsive and author of the article you have linked) himself admits that there is no good solution to make tables responsive. The article essentially lists a bunch of hacks that people have tried in order to somehow make the table layout somewhat work on small screens. Nobody cares that much for tablets (yet) but mobile screens are becoming more important every day. And tables are not suitable for mobile devices (there might be task-specific hacks, but there is no general-purpose solution). We can’t stay in denial about this for very long.
admin editable fields for groups. Basically the exact same thing as xprofile fields but for groups. This is the kind of thing that makes more sense in core than a plugin.
Better customisation options of the activity stream: ie to be able to define a set of “or” filters for content type, and who. So (with plugin support) I can define a feed to include things from “me or friends or followers” showing “topics and topic replies and posts and new users” (and ideally be able to have a permalink to this with no other fluff on display). The current activity feed selectors are a mess and don’t provide what most people want to see.
There are about 50-75 Premium BuddyPress themes online for sale and 99% of them have the same activity stream page-layout. While all those premium theme developers can do lots of customization to all other pages the activity stream is like Twitter’s Bootstrap to BuddyPress it always tells you it’s a BuddyPress website without looking at the code.
The reason all those themes activity look alike is because previously it was a nightmare to create something that wasn’t derivative of bp-default and it’s heavy-handed javascript. This is not the case anymore.
In other words, this issue has already been fixed. Now it is upto the theme developers to customize the feed aesthetics to their hearts’ content.
I totally agree with you, and would love to see fragment caching in BuddyPress (or more generally in WordPress)
That being said, if WordPress doesn’t include caching in core, it’s highly unlikely that BuddyPress would. If you created a ticket for this in Trac, it would probably quickly be closed as plugin territory.
The quickest way of getting this implemented would be to convince the author of FragmentCache or Fragment Cache or Redis cache to add support for BuddyPress.
It would be nice for an admin to be able to define additional types of friendships either independently, or by associating a scale (an integer valued friendship, 1=I want to see your feed stuff 2=online mates 3=actual real life chums 4=we’re married)
If I remember correctly friends were changed to a type of groups earlier this year. The kind of friendship levels/ privacy settings you request may actually be a use case for hierarchical groups then.
I’m using these plugins combined: bbPress, BuddyPress and BuddyPress Media (rtMedia).
I wish that the maximum image files uploaded in ‘album’ (bp-album, I guess) …
I think it’s not from rtMedia
It’s getting a bit confusing. You need to figure out which plugin is creating the album that you want to modify and then you need to ask that plugin’s author for support. BuddyPress does not provide any media capabilities by default, though that has been requested.
P.S. rtMedia (previously known as BuddyPress Media) does create a Media tab. And it creates various albums under that tab.
@kakilo How are you uploading profile images anyway? BP does not offer such a function by default.
(or are you talking about photos uploaded into activity stream?)
