BuddyPress.org

I’d be interested in different sizes of avatars in buddypress, personally I don’t like or use gravatars, so don’t have a problem with that.

Besides, in the Netherlands nobody actually uses gravatar, since everyone uses Hyves (famous dutch social network) to blog and do other stuff.

Add this to your functions.php. It’s written by Detective.

function rk_signup_redirect() {

if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'wp-signup.php') !== false ) {

$url = 'http://domain.ext/register';

wp_redirect($url);

exit;

}

}

add_action('init', 'rk_signup_redirect');

Change $url = ‘http://domain.ext/register’; into your own domain.

This’ll automatically redirect from the old signup page to the new buddypress signup page.

In the moment, I do what Andy has offered above.

Members:

<?php echo bp_core_fetch_avatar(

'item_id=' . get_the_author_id() . '&type=full&width=100&height=100' ) ?>

Groups:

<?php echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( 'item_id=' . bp_get_the_site_group_id()

. '&object=group&type=full&width=100&height=100' ) ?>

Just I think this is the same as doing it in the css.

I like to know how to change the original size at the moment when its created.

But I don’t want to define these with custom values in wp-config.php.

I’m looking for a solution to have control of the Avatar size in custom components.

for example: In the bp-events Plugin, I would like to change the Avatar format to a Flyer format.

Most of the Event Flyer, people want to upload, do not feed the Avatar size from Buddypress.

So they just get a cuted piece of there flayer.

I relay would like to change this.

You can make custom pages inside of buddypress.

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/make-your-own-custom-buddypress-page

BuddyPress creates two images for avatars. 150×150 and 50×50. Any other sizes you see are scaled by CSS.

If you really know what you are doing, you can define these with custom values in wp-config.php to change the real sizes of the files that are created, but I am not sure of any side effect that may occur.

define( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH’, 50 );

define( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT’, 50 );

define( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’, 150 );

define( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’, 150 );

If you are going to do this make sure you test extensively on a sandbox install first!

I don’t see this as well in BP 1.1+.

This was extremely useful!

But, I’m guessing if you already have these profile fields setup when you upgrade, these fields should still exist.

It’s only if you decide to create new x-profile fields that you won’t be able to use the CSV option.

EDIT: Added an enhancement ticket in Trac:

je suis TREEEES patient Chouf1, je suggère mon nom si “par hasard” la disponibilité du traducteur officiel était compromise dûe à un événement impromptu… hey hey

btw MrMaz, i added your engine finally, with all its usage.

@nexia patience c’est en cours.

sorry sometimes we speak french here

Where do you get your ID to enable this plugin? Am I just totally missing this?

@Bowe

Wordpress /buddypress does not do anything special to images.By default the avatars are saved as square(same height and width),so if you keep the ratio,the image looks good as it gets scaled down by css,otherwise say you make the height and width different ,It gets stretched.just for clarification

I was not able to get any of these to work? I am fairly fimilular with the coding but no luck…has any succeeded with this?

hehe.. you are most welcome

Yeh buddypress.org is using buddypress but the theme is a custom theme which is not available freely ,so you may have to wait until Andy decides to make this theme available for everyone.but I don’t think so,as He will like to keep the look of this site unique

It would be really good to see some sort of integrated video commenting – I believe that, for certain use cases, video commenting could be extremely useful but, so far, it has been hampered by clueless implementations (Seesmic, Viddler) which forced users to jump through registration hoops before they can actually record their message, killing the medium before it even had a chance to catch on.

As far as I can see, Kaltura does not currently offer any sort of video commenting but I think it would be a really could fit with the way in which you are trying to push the communal aspects of video.

hi there

well,so your subdomain style issue is solved.

For the random non existing subdomain behavior is expected by wpmu.since you are using buddypress default theme ,so you will not be able to see wp-signup.php and it is one of the most discussed topic here in forum.just search it.

If you are trying to create forums (as you may be thinking of standalone forum in bbpress),this is not implemented in that way in buddypress.In buddypress ,the bbpress (internal integration) is used for creating forums with groups and they do not have a separate admin.You can enable forum from group admin screen for a particular group.

As far as I know and my experiences with shared hosting,you won’t be able to install wordpress mu on addon domains.If you are able to install wpmu on addon domain ,then buddypress should work without any problem.

You can still use the old “bp-themes” format (for now anyway) as long as you haven’t deleted the “bp-themes” directory.

I’ve quoted the following from:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/upgrading-a-buddypress-1-0-theme-for-buddypress-1-1/

Firstly you can revert to the old BuddyPress 1.0 theme system. Simply recover your /wp-content/bp-themes/ folder. This will revert BuddyPress into compatibility mode. You will not see all of the new features added in 1.1, but you will gain from performance and code improvements.

But be advised that, from what I’ve heard, the old 2-way theme format is going be phased out eventually in a future BP release.

will install this on a pre-production site, will see if it fulfill my needs… right now by the look of it, it is great…

et si Chouf1 ne fait pas la traduction fr_FR, je vais m’en charger…

Edit:

first missing feature, when we enter a new category in the BP Links, no alert is displayed to tell the entry is done, and the fields are filled with the last entry we’ve made, so it looks like the page reload without saving… but it is saving, as when we submit again, we have an alert… make the alert for new entry done, and empty the fields please…

change the slug for this addon, as “links” is already by default on WP and is used in a lot of themes…

My unofficial opinion (which is subject to change at any point) is that it’s a great idea if you and your audience are okay with you not hosting that data on your server.

I’m selfish, so I like to have control over everything so I can take responsibility for it if I break it. I also like to be able to dive right in and fix a problem if something happens instead of making a telephone call or sending an email.

At the end of the day BuddyPress will have its own media management eventually, and BP developers can choose to use the built in one, or something like Kaltura. It’s the same as outsourcing your comments or forums to another service. If you trust the provider and it does what you need, then there’s no reason not to use it.

Some form of media manager/gallery is a future BuddyPress feature. Until that is made available, you will have to look to 3rd-party solutions.

Just be aware of the issue of licensing when using Kaltura. Although Kaltura.org is self-described as open source video, and in fact its component code is licensed under GPL3, when you use the hosted solution–that is you are not storing your users’ media on your own server but instead on a Kaltura Media Network server–then all of your users’ content is automatically made available under the Creative Commons 3.0 license. See this Kaltura forum thread:

• http://www.kaltura.org/how-do-you-protect-my-video-public-usage

What does this mean? Well, it means you better clearly state to all your members that anything they upload via your site will automatically get licensed under CC 3.0. This means it will be freely available to anyone else to see and to use as they see fit within the CC licensing specifications.

That may not seem like a big deal to you if you are a fan of CC, but you should not assume that all your members will think the same way or necessarily want their content to be made available for free use.

Thankfully, there is a solution. If your using the self-hosted version of Kaltura.org–Kaltura Community Edition (CE)–then you can set the licensing rights for all member-submitted content. This means you can effectively control the privacy of your members’ content if that is important to you, your site, and your members.

If you choose to use Kaltura CE for your site, then you will need to make sure that you have sufficient storage and bandwidth to meet the needs of your site. Also, I have no idea of what kind of tech support Kaltura offers users of the CE version.

Finally, Kaltura is a for-profit company who is freely offering an open source media hosting solution via their kaltura.org site. They do offer premium services as well. So, if you have the budget, you can purchase a premium account to make all your users’ content private. At least that is what was indicated in the thread response in the first link above. You can visit http://corp.kaltura.com/solutions/video_solution for more information.

Note: look at the footer on the above Kaltura link to see how they handle the CC issue. I would argue that you would also want to make the CC issue very clear in any TOS and actually right under any media “Upload” link.
