Congratulations! Looks very interesting.
Would it work with BP 1.1.3? If not, what changes between 1.1.3 and 1.2 does it rely on?
I will try myself as soon as I have time…

That would work.
My point was that whatever method you use needs to still provide the same level of protection from spammers or else you might as well leave the “powered by…” intact.
You could always use some simple javascript obfuscation too. Not foolproof, but better than nothing.
Nope 
Not looking for a MU setup as MU has been discarded as an option for several reasons
I think I have found the solution though by changing all instances of $wpdb->prefix to the database and prefix I want to use for all Buddypress installations.
what you refer to would be a WordPressMU install, which is a multi-users/blogs version of wordpress…
This is for several singleuser 2.9.1 blogs and buddypress 1.2
@Peter
I don’t agree with what you’re saying. I understand the logic behind your ideas, but I think that it’s much better to create a gallery component from the ground up created for buddypress only.
If you have someone working on it which is 110% familiar with BuddyPress and knows exactly which core components and 3rd party plugins might have use for photo galleries, you have a much stronger and cleaner end results then using an existing solution.
You’ve mentioned keeping BuddyPress clean and “non-bloated” for several times, and I think that adjusting/hacking/modifying/adepting existing scripts to work with buddypress (which means a high chance of code conflicts, unused code and a clunky user experience) is not something that I would choose above a well written BP only component.
Would Facebook use an existing photoalbum script? It might sound like a very stupid comparison but I think BP aims to become a open source solution which stands completely on it’s own and can be compared with the bigger social network sites (atleast I hope that’s what they are aiming for:) A awesome BP Gallery component is very much needed and something which should not be (code)based on any existing plugin/script out there.
My 2 cents
… but relationships to users need to be maintained, in a ddition to Groups and possibly even events. Then each image must maintain an associated comment/activity stream set of functionality. Finally, in order to be truly useful in a social media context, the ability to “tag” a user in an image will be very important.
That’s all metadata with image files, it has nothing to do with uploading photos, generating thumbnails, etc. I’m not saying writing a plugin to make those connections is easy, but it would be easier than writing an entire gallery/photo app from scratch.
I’ve tested several gallery scripts. I needed something that could handle upload of raw photos. NextGen came close, but still had some problems. If Buddypress tries to build an entire app into the core, it’s never going to be as solid as NextGen or Zenphoto or other established gallery apps.
Obviously Nextgen and Zenphoto are for single user galleries. That doesn’t make them any less suitable as starting points for a BP plugin. There has been some discussion about Nextgen on the WPMU forums.
This photoblog plugin claims to support WPMU. Not sure what it does. Haven’t tested it.
i’m in, and the localization for 1.2 in Italian is updated to the latest trunk, just a note
@ yudhister, before you install 1000 plugins to have what you want, read this:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/how-to-add-custom-usermeta-to-registration
Actually i want add fileds in blog registration form.So add tow fields Music Genre and Country
fields using buddypress .After that i created new signup. Except above two fields values all values are saving the wp_signups table .But how to save the Genre and country values.
Kindly give me as suggisions.
You have to create a “custom.css” so the change won’t be affected at the next update.
Read the forum to know how to do this
You have to add
margin: 0 auto;
in the body css
So what should I change it to?
sorry – I am not a CSS expert
yes you guessed right issues. the fault of the css.
I think it’s in this region css
body {
background: #DADE6E;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif;
line-height: 170%;
color: #555;
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-top: 0 !important; /* Remove the top padding space for the admin bar in this theme */
}
You see the line: margin: 0 auto;
Problem it’s just there.
If you still do not fix this. please make a demo I can see.
can this plugin handle photos as well? Or is it going to?
Once 1.2 is released I’ll make a Dutch tranlation.
You can download BP 1.2 trunk via trac – https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk – click on zip file near bottom of page or svn – https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/
P.S. If you want BP 1.2 stable version, it’s not out yet, but many are developing on trunk – not for production site unless you’re up to it.
Oddly, I think I’m running into the jQuery challenge on Firefox, but no Safari (both on mac). I’m using Links 2.1. Looks great, btw.
np… also, @andy just updated the bp codex way at the bottom. thought you might wanna know
