@rogercoathup yeah I’m using the default theme and I just tried it I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF, expecting ‘:’

Check out messages_new_message() in buddypress/bp-messages.php.

@ri-kun please avoid doing this in future, sometimes questions don’t get answered, sometimes that means you have to think about them again, perhaps they had obvious answers, perhaps a search would find the answer, sometimes reposting and rephrasing the question is required, what isn’t acceptable is to demand attention in the fashion that you have and is likely going to result in your thread being locked leaving you to have to repost, but you will have done your rep little favour in the process

Oh and fyi – emoticons or smilies please ‘lolz’ is derived from l33t or txt speak and most coders/developers dislike that language also ‘lolz’ carries a particular meaning it’s meant to be laughter with sarcastic overtones! not. I hope, what you intended?

you do realize you’ve totally demotivated everyone with helping you by posting 6 times in a row?

I marked the plugin as RC (tested on clean install today, fixed a couple of aesthetic bugs).
The download link: http://stas.nerd.ro/pub/data/2010_sushkov_trunk-r1053.zip

@LPH2005, Not yet, I will probably add this option asap, mostly once we get the 0.1 release stable (which I plan very soon).

@PJ, the dashboard warning, should be fixed now, also some other CSS fixes.

I would love the ability for my moderators to add tags to already posted forum topics… Most people that are starting on our BuddyPress site (educators) have never really dealt with folksonomy (tags). This is a TOP needed BP core function.

I have tested this in localhost with BP 1.2.5.2 / WP 3.0.1 …. firstly it showed warning and crashed , then by adding the plugin name to the file it seems to work fine.

@netweblogic Thanks

@bpuser44 : Thanks for the positive feedback. I hit the support forums a little hard over the weekend.

You can find stuff on bp-custom.php and / or functions.php (which can be used for similar things in your theme folder) by searching the forums. BuddyPress development is not as simple as WordPress theming – you are looking at hooks, filters, and reworking core functions a lot more in BP. This should lessen as the API develops in future releases.

BP would benefit no end from a great set of developer tutorials; finding the resource (right people) and time to write them is the big challenge in the Open Source world.

There was a short lived job board forum on the site – that would be a great place to advertise and for you to find BuddyPress consultants, plugin developers, and website designers. Unfortunately, the board was taken down – I don’t know why. We have a current freelance opportunity for a skilled BuddyPress developer, but nowhere effective to advertise it – which is really frustrating.

Most of our work is on commercial BuddyPress developments – so feel free to give me a shout if you want to explore the consultancy route (http://21inspired.com).

@Whyameye and PeD,

In the plugin , there is a sub-directory called “events” (under bp-events) that need to be moved under the root of your selected Buddypress theme (i.e. same level as groups, members, activity, etc…)

Other thing I noticed:

When creating an event, one can attach the event to a group. The problem is that the group does not show up later on (it should display “organized by [name of the group]”) when displaying the event. In order to fix this, look for function bp_event_groups_dropdown( $grp_id ) in file bp-events-templatetags.php and replace this loop

foreach ($groups as $group) {
echo “name.”‘”;
if ($grp_id == $group->id)
echo ” selected”;
echo “>”.$group->name.””;
}

echo ”;

with

foreach ($groups as $group) {
echo “id.”‘”;
if ($grp_id == $group->id)
echo ” selected”;
echo “>”.$group->name.””;
}

echo ”;

(i.e. replace “group->name” with “group->id” in the if statement)

Same problem.. WP Multisite with the latest version of BuddyPress.. I will look up the exact javascript error and report back!

@adam320
It’s great you have written a plugin to help combat this vile practise of spamming, and the community thanks you for that.

However dragging up four old posts and posting to each the same reference to your plugin would generally be considred to be… Can you fill the blanks in?

You have the group created, shout about the plugin there. Resurrecting old posts is somewhat annoying for the listings.

BuddyPress Oembed plugin is what you need

@mrbcollins

Switch to default theme and disable all plugins to test. Does it work after?

@tubruk

Are you using the default theme, or something similar? Are you trying to do this in the profile-loop.php file inside the profile loop? Is it only the About Me field you want to replace?

if so, you need to edit your profile loop with something like this (note: the default template files use tables for the profile display):

Making use of the bp_get_the_profile_field_name() to check you are only applying your image to the correct field.

And use the CSS files to style the table cells appropriately.
