BuddyPress.org

I’ll try to continue developping this, even if I can’t work as much that I did because I have a lot of work actually.

I started to get it ready for BuddyPress 1.2 : It seems that no major rewriting is needed.

It is getting to work quite fine…

I’ll continue posting news about this into this topic.

+1.. Can’t wait for this to be implemented!

This is most probably a css issue not a bug with the bp 1.1.3.

Are you using the widget with default buddypress theme or some other theme.

If you are using different theme, you will have to style the widget yourself(may be some copy paste can help from bp default theme’s css).

even if it´s simple, it would be great if you could just implement it.

Many thanks for this !

Make a note of multi-language on http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/ and we can talk about it during this coming weeks’ dev chat. It’s something I’d like to see also, even if it’s just something as simple as selecting your language in the settings screen. I’ve had a much more complex version of this running locally for a while now, so I’ll probably simplify it and patch it for Andy to look at soon.

Hi Slicktig1 or anyone…I’m having the same problem as mentioned above. Does anyone have a fix? I’m using the latest buddypress build 1.2…Thanks!

i added a note to this ticket:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1294

basically i found a few inconsistencies with file paths in the group section – also bp-groups-templatetags.php had a bunch of wrong file paths (double // in group urls) – the image path being sent to process did not contain the fullpath to the file – it would be just wp-content/uploads/etc instead of /home/user/domain/wp-content/uploads/etc)

the image width check was failing (on bp-core-avatars.php)

if ( getimagesize( $bp->avatar_admin->original['file'] ) > BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH )

to

list($width, $height) = getimagesize( $bp->avatar_admin->originalfile? );

if ( $width > BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH )

wp_crop_image ignores gif/png and saves everything as jpg (killing transparency – though to note the jquery cropper script does not support transparency during the UI selection)

You will not get support for issues or bugs when running BuddyPress 1.0; there have also been a few security fixes. You have been warned.

With regards to the theme, if you are unable to purchase a theme or a designer, then the only way is to learn HTML, CSS and WordPress theming.

@MrMaz, Please support ustream.tv user feeds to this plugin.

ZenPhoto is a inetresting plugin that I’ll look at but the rest are based on a SINGLE blog system.. Many use “posts” to hold data just like WP does instead of actual management..

Not sure what you mean by “actual management”. My worry is that there will be lots of plugins that hook into BP-specific features, but are crap at what they’re actually supposed to do – processing/managing images, managing events, etc.

ZenPhoto is not written to use WP’s basic toolset either, but it is a very solid and versatile gallery script. I’m saying it would be much more useful to develop a plugin the works as a bridge between a program like ZenPhoto and Buddypress.

Kaltura was last written for 1.1 not 1.2

1.2 is not officially out yet. Several key BP plugins are apparently already breaking on WPMU 2.9.1. Good luck staying up-to-date with your project…

You can prevent confusion if you generate the username (@peterverkooijen) from the real name (Peter Verkooijen), so I could probably live with this solution – haven’t tested it yet…

I haven’t installed BuddyPress Group Twitter and BuddyPress Group Blog, but those were big reasons for me to upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1.3. I’m reluctant to roll back from 2.9.1 to 2.8.6. I’m trying to get my installation to a point where I can leave it alone for another six months, until the next upgrade to BP 1.2 and WP 3.0.

What is the problem? Which changes in WPMU cause the plugins to break? Is anybody working on the fix?

Sure… here you go:

https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/2316/tags/1.0.3?old_path=%2F&format=zip

That’s version 1.0.3

This a theme that comes close:

http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/buddypress-social-theme

demo:

http://buddypressthemes.org/theme-preview/BuddyPress+Social/

It’s a premium theme though

There’s not supposed to be any generated password upon activation in 1.1.3. No passwords are ever sent by email in 1.1.3. You may have missed something in the upgrade.

We had noticed that the welcome email includes a wrong password, perhaps because of different encryption between WP and BP. The password that was entered upon registration still works.

Note that in 1.1.3 the WPMU is disabled by default. To bring it back you have to remove a function from the core files.

Could this also lead to the wrong passwords in the welcome email?

Please concentrate on writing BP plugins that connect with more mature open source gallery scripts like Zenphoto, Coppermine or the NextGen WP plugin, instead of starting yet another ambitious project from scratch.

I use Zenphoto with the ZenPhotoPress plugin. I would love to have a ZenPhotoBP plugin, but I’d never use any of these new BP-only plugins and if Andy & co built a gallery into the core, I’d have to strip it out again.

This Kaltura plugin may cover your needs if you need more BP integration – semi-commercial third party product.

If you want to hire someone to implement a captcha on the compose message page, please post in this group -> https://buddypress.org/groups/buddypress-job-board

The avatar is BuddyPress feature and the wp-admin dashboard is a WordPress feature. There’s surely a way to code this up, but it’s not implemented out of the box.

1)

please see this ticket regarding “Public Message”:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1578

2)

regarding the “@username” within the text-box: it could even happen that somebody does not understand what this means and just deletes this “@username” from within the text-box. The “@username” should NOT be located within the text-message-box but rather being located outside of the text you are writing.
