ParticipantWhen web development stops being polite…and starts getting real.
Good read guys.

ModeratorNo, BuddyPress works fine and will into the future and bug fixes are never ending. This site is developed live, hence it being broken. Don’t use this site as a reflection of the state of the software.

Participant@DJPaul Ha ok I got it working. Just have one more question and that’s how do I display it larger than 50px without it distorting the image? It displays larger on the members profile without distorting but when I set the code below to “96” the image came out fuzzy.
if (strpos($template, '%POST_TITLE%') !== false) { $userid = $post->post_author; $post_title = get_avatar( $userid, 96); if ($max_post_title_chars > 0) { $post_title = snippet_text($post_title, $max_post_title_chars); } $value = str_replace("%POST_TITLE%", $post_title, $value); }October 30, 2011 at 12:39 am #121761In reply to: Getting the BP post author avatar outside of loop.

MemberSorry, but I believe you have missed the point of the original post. Please read this entire post before responding. It’s a little long, but not that long.
Neither the original poster, nor I, had any complaints about the operation of installations we had made ourselves. What was being asked, was whether there should be concern due to the obvious problems on the buddypress website itself, not our own installations.
We, the user community, have no way of knowing, other than by asking, if the problems on this site are due to use of an old version of BuddyPress, use of an unreleased version of BuddyPress, use of a broken theme for BuddyPress, or perhaps even maybe they have nothing to do with BuddyPress at all. However, problems that show up on this site beg the question as to whether or not as yet unseen problems might show up on our installations. So, when we ask… “why do I get a white screen when I click on page 2 of the buddypress support forum” this should not be considered a criticism of BuddyPress or it’s developers… it’s merely a question.
We, the user community, would like to have some idea of what we’re getting into. I personally feel fairly comfortable with getting into the guts of most php applications, but I do not have the ability to get into the guts of the implementation of this site so there is no way for me to answer my own question.
For those that are responsible for implementation of the site, I still don’t see any reason whatsoever for offense just because someone points out a defect and asks regarding its cause. If the people responsible for the implementation of this site are too busy to look into it, fine. I can completely relate to that. If the site is built on an obsolete platform that is not worth troubleshooting, fine. I can completely relate to that as well. If the site is built on a platform that is in development and as yet incomplete or unstable, fine. I have no problem accepting that. What I do have difficulty with is being told that merely pointing out the defective behavior on this site, and being told that it is offensive to ask about it.
So have I made myself understood that I am not complaining about BuddyPress software, I am just asking what it is that is causing the buddypress.org website to behave in obviously undesirable and perhaps unexpected ways.

joeOctober 29, 2011 at 9:57 pm #121648ModeratorLike I said, it’s free. Free to use or not. Do not make your lack of knowledge on how to extend a free product someone elses problem. I answer on average 5-10 support requests every day. I take offense that you think nobody gets help but they do when volunteers can help.

ParticipantThere are free alternatives. Drupal and joomla amongst others. Just remember that beggers can’t be choose’s – no one is forcing you to run wp/bp..
Regarding buddypress bugs and such – joomla has something like 6000 core bugs.

ParticipantAn example of the network wide menu plugin is http://www.umw.edu.
Per http://ten-321.com/blog/portfolio/university-of-mary-washington/, the UMW website is a WP multi-network install consisting of 213 WP sites. If you visit any of the sites in that install you see the same primary navigation menu (the first menu item is About UMW).

ParticipantWhile I work (sometimes) in Web Development as a QA Engineer, and work all other hours on growing my own site, it isn’t that I don’t want to work on documentation for someone else’s project, it’s that I have absolutely no time to take on a part of someone else’s project. Nor, do I feel I should have to. I too have often been perplexed by attitude towards users on this board – when I have gotten usable help or pointers, it’s almost always been from Ray, bless his heart. But if this product (albeit a free one) is released without adequate testing, or time commitment from the developers to document and assure the quality of the plugin, then word, eventually, if it hasn’t already, is going to get around.
I worry about a plugin that *only* works out of the box on one WP theme and not even a well designed theme at that. There is no way that I would re-install my site around an out of the box theme. I’m sure there are a lot of potential buddypress users who think the same way, and wouldn’t even attempt to do what I have done (am trying to do) with my site.
Once I get the buddypress bit working with the site, I’m not going to upgrade. Buddypress needs to be edited in too many places to make it work. I might do a test run with 2.0 when the forums and WP upgrade, but if it doesn’t work easily enough, I’m going to stay with the set up I have.
Getting what we pay for? What happened to a sense of pride and satisfaction about delivering great product and treating users with respect rather than disdain?

MemberThe [READ MORE] link on comments to posts appears to be a current problem on all BuddyPress sites. I hope they come up with a patch soon..
(In fact, I’m reporting it now — I just saw the Bugs widget to the right as I type this! )
I noticed the […] at the end of Forum Topic excerpts, and just assumed it was designed that way. Users can always click the subject link to get to the full Forum Topic, though you may need to educate your users about this.

Participant@DJPaul Ok I changed it to this but alls I get now is a regular gravatar and not the actual avatar of the author.
‘if (strpos($template, ‘%POST_TITLE%’) !== false) {
$post_title = get_avatar( $post_id, 50);
if ($max_post_title_chars > 0) {
$post_title = snippet_text($post_title, $max_post_title_chars);
}
$value = str_replace(“%POST_TITLE%”, $post_title, $value);’October 29, 2011 at 4:27 pm #121733In reply to: Getting the BP post author avatar outside of loop.

MemberThank you for the suggestion. Indeed I think it is the best solution. However I’m not really at ease when I need to play in Php. Can you give me an example of what would look like such an implementation?
Here is the code I found in Page.php (which I think is the file that need to be modified) :
‘
Pages: ‘, ‘after’ => ‘
‘, ‘next_or_number’ => ‘number’)); ?>
Can you point me out where and how to integrate s2Member snippet?
I use a plugin for the like button to show up automatically. I’ve read a couple of things on Facebook developers but for now it seems to me that it’d be a lot of trouble to modify the plugin to act like I want. I will have to do it sooner or later as I think it’s important to have the Facebook thing well set up, but since I plan to open my website on November 1st I need to find solutions that are within my skills.
Thank you both for your time and help!
