It took me a while to think about this.
I mostly like it, but the ‘faded’ quality of the colors is weirding me out.
- Text in the forums is a little … small. Compare it to wordpress.org and notice how their text is a little darker and larger. That is much easier to read for the majority of people, I’d think.
- The blue for links should be darker
- The grey for alternate posts is a great background color. Don’t change.
- The TEXT in the post-reply form is too light.
- The text in the Post Reply button is similarly too light.
The other thought I have is hard to quantify, but I’m going to say it anyway. Something about the GROUPS makes it feel like a hobby site, rather than a serious ‘business’ site (yeah, I said it). I’m not sure if it’s the rounded corners missing, or the general paleness of the site, but something feels off. Casual.
Yeah, that were crap feedback. Sorry.
(Oh and the fact that HTML isn’t working? Like I put LI and UL in this post and it’s borked? Is frustrating.)
hi
sorry for delayed reply.
You can put it in your theme or just create bp-custom.php in your wp-content/plugins and put the above code.
I am posting it on pastebin for you(the forum post ate my code ).
http://bpdev.pastebin.com/FSm7VQ2L
It will work if you are using the buddypress default theme or a theme which supports buddypress standard theme action.
Please let us know if you are using bp-default or not.
Thanks
Brajesh
Thanks for the heads up, @pcwriter! I’ll take a look at that.
Had been trying the plugin for a few days but now thumbs have suddenly disappeared!
The number of rating in the forum index is however still present!
Has anyone encountered this problem?
@vee_bee Does wp-fb-connect work well? Can you assign them to be contributors or authors if need be? Site looks good 
GSoC acceptance is very good because I can use more of my time for coding, btw the GSoC project is not related only to this plugin but also to a new moderation component ( you can read more here http://flweb.it/2010/04/google-summer-of-code-project-media-component-and-moderation-for-buddypress/ )
I’ll post more detailed information on the project when roadmap/milestones are defined with mentors (Boone Gorges & Andy Peatling).
GSoC timeline provides some weeks of community bonding before start coding the project (that obviusly doesn’t mean that I am not coding at all, we are working on other features)
New buddypress.org site focus much more on groups, expecially for plugins, so I’ll create two groups, one for BP Album+ and one for the new plugin (I think it’s going to be called BuddyPress Moderation, if you have a better name you can suggest 
) where you can read updates, give feedback, etc.
As someone suggested having only one huge thread make difficult to follow all the topics, so having a group should make it easier and it’s more social too. ( @foxly I’ll add you as bp-album group admin as soon as it’s created).
on bp-album in the core: this plugin will not be merged in the core, bp needs to be used in any type of community so it has to be no-frills, btw 1.3 will have a page in the setup with plugin suggestions so important features that are not in the core can easily be added.
on mobile support: I think first step is to make bp mobile friendly then plugins will follow the core example. I mean that core protocol with support for plugins is much more better then each plugin with it’s own protocol.
@Xevo ,
Google the stats on iphone ,BB & android phone usage , its on the increase and the usage of uploading photo via phone is up because users take more photos via phone than cameras of lately look at FB, twitpic & tweetphone.com than using a PC !

Wow! This is fantastic! Thanks @sbrajesh
Hope to see this in the next version as well.
I would also like to see this in the next version if possible (along with post to x feature of this installation). @apeatling if not I’m going to use this tutorial.
@gpo1, can you proof it’s the future?
I’ve been hearing that statement a lot but haven’t seen any solid proof that everybody on the globe will have phones with apps that allow you to do these things.
Not saying I don’t like the idea, it’s fun and all, but personally I don’t feel it’s future yet.
@shaisimchi – glad things finally worked!
@apeatling: Pagination on the search template isn’t working “Page Not Found” (i tried it with search term “search”). Will the unified search be part of Buddypress 1.3, or is ot buddypress.org only?
$bp->loggedin_user->id uses wp_current_user, which isn’t available at that stage of the login process.
The login_redirect filter uses wp_signon:
http://adambrown.info/p/wp_hooks/hook/login_redirect?version=2.9&file=wp-login.php
If you use the passed $user variable, you should be able to echo something.
If you’re using your own code above, try echoing $user->ID.
@Tosh I have it on a Single WP, with all the code in bp-custom.php (as at some point I wanted to have an admin tool that allowed changing point values for each item). Site is http://www.suckitupprincess.net
I also have the Malleable them in use, and wp-fp-connect… It is my hobby site, and one day I will put it in action. Work keeps me busy though
I did it with just a template. Copy and paste the members, groups, forums, and activity loops into a new template file. Add the parameter ‘search_terms=’ . esc_html( $_GET ) to each of the loops and then create a new WordPress page called search and assign the template file to it. Then just pass ?f=searchterms to the URL and bob’s your uncle.
@foxly sweat ~ (as my danish roommate would say in accented approval) ~ does that mean that you’ll be able to select a BPAlbum+ pic as your member avatar pic rather than the tiny square one that doesn’t expand you can pick now?
@boyevul – Try this:
http://pastebin.com/crrKbZWE
Add this to your theme’s functions.php.
Thanks @sbrajesh, going to implement it now on my testbed install! (Now could you turn the searchlight glare of your skills on this / this, if Andy doesn’t want to share?)
@techguy or anyone else – any idea here?
As requested here.
I am literally slavering to find out how to do this. It would make like Developer Life complete, at least for two BP projects I’m currently working on. I’d love to be able to have different types of ‘Groups’ on my site, and just like here, and one of the Group types be things that can be reviewed and have activity attached (like, in this case plugins), to be able to attach activity and/or forums to them along with reviews, and be able to have users, like here, create Groups of that type but not, for example, as here, ‘Support Groups’.
I’m begging now, and it’s humiliating! 
@vee_bee I’m using the BuddyPress Template Pack Plugin with my Single Install WP. So I updated my:
wp-content/themes/fusion/members/single/member-header.php file with this and it works great. Shows the points for the member your viewing at the moment. Tried to get the donate link to work as well. But no success just yet.
These forums don’t allow you to embed code like the wordpress.org forums I guess. In the echo’s I’m just surrounding it with a bold tag
<?php
// Cubepoints for current user
echo ““;
if(function_exists(‘cp_displayPoints’)){
global $bp;
cp_displayPoints($bp->displayed_user->id);
}
echo “
“;
// END Cubepoints
?>
So how it displays on mine is:
User @user
1635 points
active 6 hours, 32 minutes ago
Cancel Friendship
Mention this User
Send Private Message
Actually, from first blush I was under the impression that unified search would be a feature of BP 1.2.4. Am I wrong?
Not sure if anyone else noticed (sorry, I haven’t gone through the 5 previous pages of this thread) but the “Load More” link/button on the activity page only loads a second page worth of status updates. If you hit “Load More” a second time, it reloads the same set of updates.
