I should have done a bit more testing before providing feedback. BTW, I am using BP Links with a Single WP install on my development server.

*** I made an error earlier: avatar images aren’t uploaded in their original size to your wordpress uploads folder. The single link page embeds the original fullsize image from the site one links to (again, not the greatest thing if you’re working with a fixed width template), but the thumbnails shown on my Directory Links page are the fullsize image, just scaled down by width and height pixel values. ***

@MrMaz I’m glad to hear that BP Links is handling resizing and creating thumbnails to the BP constants. I guess things are being handled differently on a Single WP install at the moment. I’ll continue to test this plugin as things develop. Or I might just migrate to WP MU, though I’ve heard WP 3.0 will have a multi-blog feature that one can enable.

FYI, I encounted another issue. When I created a second test link the Directory Links page only shows one link now (the newest one). However, both created links appear in my Activity Stream.

In regards to the filtered RSS link:

I hope other people request this as well. I plan on adding the Most Popular or Highest Rated feed to the site’s twitter updates via twitterfeed.

Yeah, it’s a bit of a change, isn’t it?

My strategy for making the transition easier for my users is two-fold:

1) Make the profile the default view for users (rather than activity), by adding

define( 'BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', $bp->default_component = 'profile' );

to wp-config.php

2) Adding the @mentions profile tab, plus some explanatory text, to the members/single/home.php template in my child theme. Thus, right below

<?php locate_template( array( 'members/single/profile.php' ), true ) ?>

I’m adding

<h4><?php bp_displayed_user_fullname(); ?>'s mentions</h4>

<p>Whenever anyone posts an update on this site containing <?php bp_displayed_user_fullname(); ?>'s handle (<strong>@<?php bp_displayed_user_username() ?></strong>), it shows up as a public message below.</p>



<p>Want to leave your own public message for <?php bp_displayed_user_fullname(); ?>?



<div class="generic-button" id="post-mention" >

<a href="<?php bp_send_public_message_link() ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Mention this user in a new public message, this will send the user a notification to get their attention.', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Mention this User', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

</div>

followed by the activity loop, taken right from bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php, but with the following relevant modification: the arguments for bp_has_activities are

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( 'scope=mentions' ) ) : ?>

(You’ll have to do some styling to make it look right, but you get the idea.)

It’s not an exact duplication of the Wire – I’ve tried to embrace the new @mention stuff, while still capturing the “leave a note for me” spirit of the Wire.

I’m looking at my source code and am not seeing <div class=”signature”></div> wrapped around my sigs.

Here’s an example of a post:

I do see this thrown into my header:

It’s not using BP-Links and not using BP.

It is using WP though with the WP-PostRatings, Image Rotator, Audio Player and WP-Polls plugins.

We don’t really need two threads regarding your plugin, foxly, especially as they are both recent and are still being posted to. You’ve got https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/bp-album-new-features-requests-and-discussion and this one. Please try to keep your discussion together in the future. Also, in the future, we’ll have BuddyPress Groups working on this site and you’ll have your own group and you can do what you want in it

@infution I’m concerned as well about the space the avatars will take up. Right now it uploads the images to the uploads folder in its original size (a problem if you have a fixed sized template area you’re working in).

My wishlist for @MrMaz:

1. Let admins specify a separate directory to use for BP Links avatar images or create a sub-directory in uploads

— Reason: It keeps things separate in case we want to remove BP Links in the future and delete all associated images.

2. Use the setting in WP > Settings > Media to create matching sized thumbnails (i.e. 150×150) and resize images down to the “Medium” image size setting (my max width is currently at 500px).

— Reason: one word… consistency. Plus, it helps keep things manageable.

* I noticed the thumbnail BP Links uses is actually the fullsize stored image — but scaled down per the width, height pixel values.

+++++++

Advanced cool feature I’d like to see…

Links that have been voted down by X number (most likely because they’re spam or totally unrelated) automatically get weeded out and their associated image(s) removed. This would free up a lot a space as well.

Delete /wp-content/themes/bp-default.

This folder shouldn’t be in themes.

You should be using the bundled theme in /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/.

@MrMaz Is it possible to get custom RSS feeds for each filter type? It would be great to see the feed icon link change with each filter selection.

Default (shows Most Recent):

http://mysite.com/links/feed

Would like to see something like…

Most Popular:

http://mysite.com/links/most-popular/feed/

Highest Rated:

http://mysite.com/links/highest-rated/feed/

Navigate to your Apache>conf>httpd.conf

Then find the following row:

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Remove the “#” symbol from the beginning of the line. Save. You may have to restart Apache afterwards but you shouldnt have any problem with the permalink not working.

I’m working on a new version of this site that will automatically create a group for every new BuddyPress plugin that appears in the repo. This means plugins will get all the functionality of BP groups – a forum, activity stream, a list of members who are interested in the plugin, etc etc. I’m also going to add a donate page, which should help out a bit.

This has been held up a little right now because I’m trying to get the new upgrade/install wizard done first. This will allow BP to use WordPress pages instead of hacking with root components. It’s all bits of the jigsaw that need to be put in place before I can continue. Hopefully by the end of the month I should have at least the first iteration of the site close to completion.

fskv,

I ran into the same thing. It usually happens if you use the class “pagination” for a div. Buddypress searches the page for divs with that class and “Hijacks” the click to use ajax. Here is the specific line in global.js:

if ( target.parent().parent().hasClass('pagination') && !target.parent().parent().hasClass('no-ajax') ) {

Look at where you created the divs for your pagination, and as Andy said: add “no-ajax” to the class.

Request:

Can you please wrap the signature in a <div> with a special ID or class so that we can style it appropriately?

Right now it just looks like part of the forum reply.

Thanks!

1.5 fixed my issues w/signatures.

thanks!!!

@etiviti – the new version of the plugin appeared on my dashboard – thanks for this!

I clicked on the upgrade plugin for the umbrella plugin of te Forum Extras and got this:

Do you think this can cause any problem?

The buttons are appearing on Forum discussions of Groups -thanks!

However the buttons do not appear on Group wire or when sending direct messages of one user to another.

One great improvement for the future could be adding images straight from our computer, instead of using a URL.

Cheers!

It works flawlessy! And to make it even more awesome the author Justin Klein will also make an adjustment for us BuddyPress so that email adresses get mapped automatically to the BP profile (without asking permission first). So updates/notifications and/or welcome messages (through the Welcome Pack from DJPaul) are now covered.

I can’t tell how happy I am with this. The next step is to add fetching of avatars and profile info mapping to the list, but for now I’m more then pleased. I pointed the developer to this thread so maybe he will chip in

ow and.. please donate if you like this.. seriously.. we get so much awesome stuff but every dev I speak hardly get’s any donations

I am not sure how to enable display_errors, reporting.

I am running wpmu 2.9.1.1

One thing I did track down is that forum extras is conflicting with

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-field-template/

(other than bp probably the most important plugin I use and the best in it’s class) Allows me to easily create my own custom meta boxes on a per post_type basis.

Please would you submit this as a bug on https://trac.buddypress.org/ please, using your username and password from this site. Thank you.

How can I know if I’m on wpmu or single?

I installed BuddyPress using Simple Scripts. not sure if this helps…
