@rossagrant,
This is a pretty straight forward plugin for most developers. Only variable might be how you want to get the latest price of a stock on the stock market. If you try to automate that, it might take a little work to figure out that automation. Otherwise, most developers on here could do it.
If you want to pay someone to do it, just say so and people can contact you through your profile if you’re interested. There are a number of people on this site that do that type of work. Just depends what’s on their plate at the time. There’s not really a separate place to advertise work for now. Maybe we should create a tag for it and admins can make sure the tags applied before the lock the thread.
Digging into this, we ought to create a ticket to get BP 1.3 to use wp_nav_menu()
Yeah I do. Wasn’t sure if it was default or not. Thanks Paul. Will look for ways to add it. Thanks much.
New version of the oEmbed plugin will allow you to define a fixed width in the activity stream and activity permalink. I guess I could add a resize option for forum posts.
Rename /plugins to /somethingelse, and you should get back into /wp-admin.
Do you mean like nested Pages in the main nav? If so, not by default.
Ok I’ve isolated this to the save settings step.
During this step an empty group is being created and that empty group id is being passed back to the script, since there is no information for this group as all the fields are blank, nothing gets displayed save the previous and next buttons.
What should I do?
Should I reinstall the BuddyPress plugin? Obviously there is an error somewhere that most people are not getting?
I would appreciate some advice from some of you pros 
Thanks.

Hey PCwriter,
Yes that it is an excellent plugin and I’m using it to embed youtube videos etc. Wasn’t sure if there was a way to embed .swf files directly from my server………

There are some good exhaustive posts about spammers on this site… but what will change from the server level? I have gotten a few spam messages too and there’s nothing I can do except for delete them. Could the site setup a recaptcha required box before sending messages? Would that be effective?
If Buddypress can create a proactive plugin or core feature to mitigate spam that many of us are receiving, it will improve our confidence in the service (privacy and security is a common mantra in the forums). If buddypress.org finds a plugin works well, please share which one it is in a sticky post so we all see it and it won’t get lost between many posts. When there are multiple suggestions to a specific problem then it shows that there really isn’t a solution at this time. Thank you.

@BooneGorges I have that same error/issue occur on Buddypress.org, so it doesn’t seem to be an isolated issue. I still have the randomly selected gravatar because I have that error when I try to upload a new image on this site.

@agrundner – thanks for the info. That looks like the way to go. But to be honest, I’m not aspiring to be a BP plugin coder, so if anyone else wants to take over development of this plugin – be by guest! I just wrote this for a client/project and am sharing it with the community. Maybe I’m being selfish, but I don’t want to be responsible long term for managing the plugin. So perhaps your suggestion makes the most sense so that a community of developers can take ownership. thanks.
@hnla thanks for the help! perhaps you can give me a bit more direction I’m still new to bp. What do i do with the modified from the registered members plugin? here – http://pastebin.com/x8MpfLW1
Try this: upload an avatar file to the BuddyPress plugin folder here: buddypress/bp-core/images/
Now edit file bp-core-avatars.php located in the buddypress/bp-core/ folder , find line #141 and change the avatar file name on the end of the line per your needs, e.g.
Code:
$default_grav = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_mysteryman_src’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-core/images/avatar.jpg’ );
Now login to your main blog, go to BuddyPress tab -> General Settings and be sure the Mystery Man is checked as the default avatar.
You’re done. You have now your default gravatar created by you
Sure, it’s easy to do.
Use the BP Group Extension API: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/
Basically, each method will be blank, except for the first one (my_group_extension(), or whatever you rename it to) and display(). You will probably also want to disable the create step and the edit step, as under “Optional Parameters”.
:puzzled: that SC looks as though you are missing CSS styles altogether, what do other browsers look like?
Diagnosing problems from screen captures isn’t really possible, it’s all about the code! Your best bet is to post a link to your site, if it’s live.
@andrea_r Ok then that’s not so funny, although reading a few of those posts in the link you provided do seem to suggest that the hacks were in a uploaded free theme.
If it’s a ftp compromise it’s really about time ftp was simply forbidden or retired , such an insecure means of accessing a server especially when there are many far more secure protocols around such as sftp
Finally the “normal” version of BuddyPress Default theme for bbPress is ready for the download.
This theme DOES NOT require the deep integration.
For the download link, info, request etc, go here.
I think all works without a problem, but a debugging is appreciated.
one last thing… sorry for the delay.
Enjoy!
I have also noticed if you look at the RSS Feed it is showing on there:

But as mentioned before not on the profile itself

My great worry these days is that the dev community is being compelled to fix problems with usability of core BP, as much or more so than extending what’s there.)
And which is one of my concerns too, and is evident in many posts on this site with developers rushing out fixes to usernames for example as is perceived as being a problem highlighted by one person.
What worries me is that moving forward in this manner is not necessarily the best approach to developing a rock solid core app as you have perceived issues being dealt with in a slightly haphazard manner and the setting up or configuring of BP dependent on finding many and various disparate third party snippets of code.
I’m sure Andy&co are focused too an extent on fixing problems but also it may well be a case that ‘Problems’ are not necessarily perceived as problems- part of the reason I thought that this thread was a necessity; to try and flesh out what were considered existing UI/design flaws and provide that as good solid feedback to work from. I note that in the ‘roadmap’ it states that there are periods of consultation? to garner feedback for version features, I would like to see that process in action and to see developers helping guide these future releases; as I agree that it’s now not simply about adding ‘Features’ but far more importantly on providing a core that works and that developers may extend upon.
It feels as though BP is reaching a momentous milestone or crux point in it’s development, and that perhaps the core dev team ought to take a breather, take time out and review what is right and what is wrong and that needs addressing. Foxly made the point well in his ‘ spammers are coming'(sic) thread discussing his suggested approach to tackling the spam issues surrounding BP where he asserts that BP is reaching this crux point where if it wants to grow from simply a “Science project for hobbyist sites” to a fully mature app that can serve business / enterprise it has to tackle certain issues and is why he considers taking some time to tackle this issue he sees with spam is of paramount importance. I would not disagree with Foxly for one moment and what he has reported on thus far on the issue is commendable but I do not think a developer should be tackling this, taking time out from working on hugely useful ‘Feature’ plugins to work on something that – if is agreed to be an issue that must be dealt with – is essentially a core development issue and really ought to be handled by the core development team not by a third party developer (Obviously this is not to say it won’t be as things are in early stages and speculative at this point)
So, yes extending must slow down for a while and issues of a UI / design nature must be thrust to the fore and I would hope there is a means of collating some of the very apposite and useful comments and suggestions that have appeared so far in this thread.

Skip over the comment that mentions s2member and look for r-a-y’s comment about register-member 2 and further down I show some basic mods to that single page plugin that allows you to select pages that will redirect or not.
Ray! I have just installed your oembed plugin and it is working fine on my forums on buddypress!
Is there any way to resize the youtube video size which embeds through your plugin?
Perhaps some way of centering it on the forum page?
