BuddyPress.org

You could try the performance tips listed here:

Don’t know about image posting in activity stream but FYI you can use this for video https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/

With all due respect:

This would seem to me to not only be a critical aspect of any social network, but also a rather simple one to implement. Then again, I’m no coder.

Obviously this feature is coming, but it hasn’t happened yet.

For 1.2, Jeff Sayre is updating his privacy plugin http://jeffsayre.com/2009/12/05/buddypress-privacy-component-released/. That’s one solution on its way. Otherwise, you can implement a lot of “stop people seeing this” in child themes.

Is there any way to enable the activations mails in a Single WP like in MU?

It seems to me BuddyPress supports activation only in WordPress MU.

@Hempsworth: first of all, great job! The plugin is amazing! Thanks for sharing!

I have 1 feature request: I would like to be able to choose what activities the members are allowed to like. For example: they can only like forum posts and group creations.

Regarding limiting the likers to just friends, as long as you make it an option, I bet there’s a lot of people who might find that useful.

I definitely see 4 different usage scenarios for this:

1 – “open”: you can see the name of everyone who liked it;

2 – “mixed”: you can only see the names of your friends (” and x others” just like your example above);

3 – “closed”: you can only see numbers (total of people who like it)

4 – “private mode” (more a privacy setting than a real scenario): no one sees what you like except you.

@r-a-y Thanks for the clarification. Do you know why it was decided to implement it this way?

It feels very counter intuitive that you’re able to post replies into the user activity stream, but to post a direct message into the activity stream you have to use a completely different component (which is disabled by default) to have your message show up in the user activity stream in a roundabout way. And to add even more confusion, posting messages directly to the site wide activity stream conversely is possible without having to use any tricks.

I don’t mean to sound harsh, because I love buddypress and it’s an amazing piece of software, but it does feel like it’s a bit counter intuitive and inconsistent in this specific instance.

link for Wibiya: http://www.wibiya.com/

I would suggest using the Wibiya tool bar – creates an as near as possible solution as Facebook. Works really well and it’s free.

(obviously it has nothing to do with BP and won’t integrate with the DB to see friends but it’s good for site visitors to chat to each other)

Works fine for me. Thanks for the hard work.

Yes, I agree two plugins in one day is too cool for school!

Thanks Dwenaus!

This is just way too cool. Two plugins in one afternoon? Priceless. Thank you.

@Hempsworth awesome, i guess maybing just use a variable on the file which customers can just define the amount they want to show?

I am enjoying it! I will be changing icon colors to RED though, didn’t see the icons at first in my custom theme Thank you.

edit – Just to add that I also enjoy the fact that Site Admins can rate as much as they want, hehehe.

Nevermind – I re-read what you said in the first line.

Nice – can you add it to the plugin repo?

@sakthig stay tuned, @MrMaz is currently in bp-links group integration mode

Oh Great! Then let the war begins

But i hope that will brings better addons to buddypress

Here’s what I’m using for:

My Profile tab:

<?php if(is_user_logged_in()) : ?>

<li<?php if ( bp_is_my_profile() ): ?> class="selected"<?php endif; ?>>

<a href="<?php echo bp_get_loggedin_user_link(); ?>" title="<?php _e( 'My Profile', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'My Profile', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

</li>

<?php endif; ?>

Members tab:

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) || bp_is_member() && !bp_is_my_profile()) : ?> class="selected"<?php endif; ?>>

<a href="<?php echo site_url() ?>/<?php echo BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ?>/" title="<?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

</li>

Slightly simpler than yours. But if there’s an even, simpler way let me know!

@pjnu –

about deleting the buddypress plugin folder – I assume you make a copy of your custom bpcustom.php file and copy that back into the folder after the fresh upload, or does that only apply to bp 1.0 & 1.1 installations?

Not sure if this answers the question or not:
