Wooow! Awesome work… You clearly put a lot of time into this, and it looks really good and fully featured.. Great

I was just reading about the Dashboard thing and I read that Andy already made it, but somehow it’s not released.. If someone could make something like that it would be awesome..

Or another question, because kaltura is the engine behind the plugin: Are there any other languages available (in my case german)? Didn’t find it on the kaltura-website…

Great Vick.. then I’m sure going to use this plugin!

Looks great – I already tried it in a testinstall! When the theming for 1.1 is fixed it will be even better.

Some ideas (don’t know if that is possible with Kaltura):

– New media will be logged in the activity-stream (I think it’s important to draw people…)

– Media also available in groups

– Admins can choose which upload-options are available (for my case, I would only want upload and webcam, because the other “providers” have sometimes adult-stuff on them – not very good for a site for young-people)

-other stuff was already mentioned… (comments, etc)

But over all: It looks VERY promising and I look forward to it!!!

guys:

keep it simple !

1)

if you talk about a “Dashboard”, then we are talking about the very ugly and un-handy Dashboard-interface which we do have currently for users writing their Blogs, etc.

I have actually disabled my Dashboard because this interface is just too complicated for a normal user not experienced with WP.

2) Friends:

as said: we do have the tabs “Groups”, “Members”, “Blogs”, “Forums” (some people will have “Events”, etc.).

Just make a simple tab named “Friends” and put all the friends information into this, like:

– “all friends currently online”

– “newest friends online”

– “most active friends online”

– “most popular friends online”

– “friend online since xx minutes”

– “friends status updates”

– etc.

3) Members:

for the information about “Members” which are not friends, we do have the tab named “Members” already. Put all the “Members” information into this page, like:

– “all members currently online”

– “newest members online”

– “most active members online”

– “most popular members online”

– “member online since xx minutes”

– “member status updates”

– etc.

4)

for the “Site Wide Activity” filters, we should have:

– Members

– Friends

– Blogs

– Groups

– Profile

– Status

– Events

@21cdb Yeah you’re right we kind of have that. Now we’re talking about the dashboard again aren’t we…

I thought there was already a basic online users widget?

Keep up the work, can users upload media via mobile (android or iphone) the way the net is going is mobile?

looks nice.

it’s kinda weird but when i active the plugin, it disbales all my own activated jquery code in my template.

the search feature works good!

@Xevo

Well we will check out the Kaltura documentation and will post about it soon.

@Bowe

Our developers are working on this plugin to make it 1.1 compatible. we are determined to get it done within 4 days.

Your welcome, change your topic to resolved, so that people know you don’t need help anymore.

I would love to use this plugin but it’s not 1.1 compatible am I right?

I think that would be the best option aswell 21CDb.. a My Network page which includes everything you just said and where you’ll go after your log in.. I think it’s an awesome idea and it should be in your user menu at the top above the Activity option.. I could include the widget mockup I made..

Did you also activate the theme in the appearance menu?

No, it’s not (yet) possible to install buddypress on a stand-alone wordpress.

As for your error, http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web%20Search/thread?tid=4e84e4e6730f9421&hl=en

I believe that all update functions don’t work perfectly in buddypress, just like the “last active” in this forum. It says you were last active 4 days ago, but you just posted a topic 10 minutes ago. Probably it’s the same with the other functions.

Or perhaps it’s just a bug..

@Bpisimone: Don’t we have that already? Check testbp.org, log into your account and check “Activity” -> “My Friends”

AJAX live updating of site wide activity stream is on the roadmap for BP 1.4 (https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/)

What i think would be really helpful for users is some kind of “Dashboard” component that appears as your landing page when you are logged in. It should include everything that is interesting for you and you normally would check manually, including:

– Last activities of your friends

– Your friends that are actually online

– Latest status updates of your friends

– Newest activities of groups that you are a member of

– Latest replies to your forum posts.

– Your last recieved messages

– A field where you can update YOUR status.

That would give an overview of nearly everything thats going on. A place where everything is aggregated. I’ll bet users would love this page.

Ah I see your problem and no the Calendar plugin does not the have agenda functions you are looking for.. Right now it’s still a bare bones plugin which does what it says, but nothing more..I’m hoping they will expend it in the near future and you can always point them to this thread to let them know you are interested and might take a subscription..

I’ve just become a member of Dev-Premium because I was interested in a lot of their plugins.. I can’t really judge if the money is worth it for a longer period of time, but their support is good and they are actively developing stuff for BuddyPress and WPMU.. It really depends on the site you want to run.. If you want to make some money with Ads and premium memberships for members you can find some really good plugins which makes this easy to fulfill….

I’m developing a non profit website so I will probably need to cancel my membership at the end of the month and become a premium member again when I have some extra money left! I’ve downloaded some cool themes and plugins for WPMU and BuddyPress so I’m happy with their service and corresponding price tag.. Hope this helps!

Ok I’ve made a mockup of a site widget that can be placed above the Sitewide activity feed on the homepage..

http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/5948/screenshot20091105at156.png

The idea is that it display the 10 latest online/active friends of the users. With the most recently active first (left) and the last active last (right).. If you have more then 10 users online you could make a ajax carousel which loads 10 new memebers, But I don’t think that’s really needed atm…. It’s just a handy widget to let users instantly know which friends are online atm.. Please let me know what you think!

There is a paid calendar plugin for WPMU-Dev premium members: http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/buddypress-group-calendar

It’s quite good, only thing it lacks is an attending/unattending function, but they say that’s in the works.. 2nd plugin is not there yet I think!
