warut, hello! when you will update plugin? you said next week, we still wait

i have same problem. gifts are not show in profil page and problem with submit button

@3sixty – To some extent I think you’re right. There’s a certain quickness to say “That’s a WP question!” in these forums. (Although I will say, anecdotally, that it used to happen more than it does now.)

Often there’s a good reason for redirecting questions to the WP forums. For one, the user base there is much bigger, so questions are likely to have a lot more readers, and are thus a lot more likely to get a good answer. Moreover, many common questions have already been answered there many times over, and it doesn’t really pay to rehash those issues in this space.

Still, some reproduction of content is probably a good thing, especially in cases where there is as much overlap as with BP/WP. So I don’t mind providing a certain amount of WP (or even general PHP/HTML/CSS) help in these forums when the mood strikes me. Constantly passing the buck – “that’s a (fill-in-the-blank) issue” – is not a great way to welcome new users to the BP community.

While I can respect the effort, I can’t see a reason to pay $79 for it when there’s a free version available. Most of the people coming from Ning are those who don’t want to pay to upgrade in the first place.

Aw shame thought for a minute it might have been made available to all to further the Ning to Buddypress cause

I just noticed that one of my users created a link, and used one of the two ‘thumbnails’ offered as avatars (I’m still very hazy on how that UI for choosing avatars is intended to work), and the one he chose was a 200+ kb png file. Because I had the Links widget in the sidebar, every pageload was pulling in a 200Kb file resized in HTML down to a 20×20 icon.

Ouch.

I wonder if some logic might be built in to that thumbnail thingy to keep the images it offers under a reasonable filesize…

I worked nonstop this weekend to finish up our own advanced importer we started a few months back. Allows you to do a full import of a Ning network’s users, their custom profile fields, and avatars to BuddyPress! It reallywas a bit of work to scrape avatars from the profile pages but looks real cool while importing. Full support for very large member lists via optional FTP upload and batch processing so it won’t timeout on you.

This may be pertinent, but I am using the Widget Logic plugin to control widgets across my install. It’s been great but I’m not sure how to control the logic for BuddyPress pages or if it’s even possible.

For example, “!is_home() && is_user_logged_in()” allows me to place a widget in the sidebar anywhere but home where the user is logged in, but how might I use that logic to place it specifically on the Groups page, for example?

Thx

I don’t think http requests to Gravatar qualify the statement “BP is extremely inefficient”. If you don’t want the extra requests the filter the Gravatars out. This is nothing to do with making the “core rock solid”.

That being said, I don’t think its fair to make a blanket like “BP php is extremely inefficient” without qualifying it.

This could be an example of what dennis_h is talking about?

For me it goes back to the point that development now should focus on making the core rock solid, including security, privacy, member management, etc., before adding any more features.

2. The Senior Plugins (e.g. Media-Albums, Oembed for Activity Streams, BP SEO, Enhanced Privacy etc.)

These are plugins that almost 65% (or some other number) of sites will end up using but we’re not sure that they will.

BP officially endorses and most likely will use their paid developers to keep these plugins functional.

I’d like to comment that the only developer who gets paid to work on BuddyPress is Andy Peatling. Everyone else contributes; some are consultants or developers or people who create themes, but that’s all on their own back.

This is a WordPress question as BuddyPress doesn’t provide wp-admin. I suggest you Google or search on the WordPress forums.

Donating even a small amount to plugin authors (whose plugins you use on your site) is a great way to thank them and encourage further development. I try to do this myself quite often when I use a new plugin on a client site, etc.

95% of users don’t need caching or a dedicated server because it would be overkill for the traffic they get. You are obviously in the 5% and should be implementing caching.

No you can’t donate to the project itself.. BUT you can of course donate to plugin developers, and by doing this you’re keeping the BP development community healthy

BP can be installed on both WPMU and WPSA (stand alone), any problems with plugins other than buddypress should be discussed with the creator of the plugin.

As far as I know, that’s not possible.

@dre1080 That’s a good point because Mobile internet is growing fast,so you need pc & mobile site.

1) i’d like a mobile theme for buddypress and a mobile plugin that detects when you are on a buddypress site from a mobile..when you post an update using a mobile the plugin then adds a “via mobile” or “via site_name mobile” into the activity meta of the site on a pc browser..basically similar to facebook mobile or how twitter mobile works..it could also be able to detect the mobile type, BlackBerry or iPhone or a Samsung etc..

I want a users points system as what dre1080 said !

Are you able to create new blogs in bluehosting, buddypress installs? i Am also having a similar problem, i am able to create the blogs from admin panel, but when i view the blog, it shows “page does not exist error”, also when i log in into the newly created blog, it shows me all the post from my main blog..!!, there is no new admin for my new blog?
