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!
Does anyone know what to feed into where?
Yes, I think this is a problem which will stick around as long as folks are migrating from WPMU to Buddypress.
So it does deserve a fix, preferably in the core.
It is beyond me … I have looked in all the tables but cannot see it at all.
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!
Xevo, didn’t understand your post. What will show you all the friends you have?
Bpisimone, nice idea, thanks!
@Jeff Sayre
We apologize if our comments made a promotional sense. We didn’t intend to do so.
We have created a new thread as you suggested.
Thanks.
@Gpo1
The comments feature may take some more time but Buddypress with KalturaCE would be out within 24 hrs.
@all
Please check out the thread below

Is it possible to theme that player?
Guess not, since I cant find anything about it on the documentation.
Wouldn’t that be something that could be accomplished thorugh filtering the site wide activity? So it actually just shows the people who you’re friends with? That would give us something like a facebook live feed.
All friends speaks for itself, it’ll show you all the friends you have.
Thanks, I will try this, however some other plugins require php5. So this one is for diagnostics. Anyway thanks for the tip!
So what we need:
In Friends menu we might have a new submenu “Updates” (right Under My friends and Requests). On this page currently on-line friends will be displayed and some tabs will be available: Status updates, Recent activities (everything else without statuses), All friends (what does this tab mean?).
Did I understand properly?
This problem seem to happen more and more often, people trying to use the buddypress components that get redirected back to the home page.
Had the problem on my localhost too. Probably has something to do with mod_rewrite..
If you combine the Friends Status Update tab for user profiles (which Erich just showed) with a Friends Widget which can be used on the frontpage, you should have a very useful addition to BuddyPress!
@SlaFFik
this is my problem – I do have many ideas but I am not able to translate those into the real world as I am not a programmer.
Please make sure I get a free copy of your plugin – or even better yet: program it so good that it will make it into BP-core.
@21cdb
definitely the “status update” of my friends is the first thing users are interested in.
see this trac-ticket and also the very nice screenshot:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1262
https://trac.buddypress.org/attachment/ticket/1262/friends.png
That would be a great idea! An extra widget on the homepage which displays Friends activity.. I’ll make an mock-up screenshot tomorrow morning, with my ideas (and hopefully the rests aswell 
)
I had the same problem on my local install, when i downgraded php5 to php4 it started to work, hope it helps to diagnose your problem…
Hey that sounds great! Erichs idea of another directory tab besides “Groups”, “Members”, “Blogs” called “Friends” is growing on me more and more!
I know from some other social networks and the behaviours of some friends, that the first thing they do after login is to check what did their friends most recently.
Maybe you could include the latest status update of your “friends” to that component! So at the end we would have a friends directory that appears after you are logged in that displays your recent online friends accompany with ther status.
after deeper investigation:
[Wed Nov 04 22:11:56 2009] [notice] child pid 14465 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Wed Nov 04 22:11:56 2009] [notice] child pid 5428 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
maybe this is related to my problem, so I request an apache upgrade at ISP and they will take it on next week… I will let you know the result.
i dont know taiwan, i’m from hong kong actually, and i believe my buddypress is alone in my place… anyway BP is growing fast and i bet on WP as well. Let’s sit tight and wait.
Erich73, oh you gave me some really-really great idea! Will think carefully. Some extraFriend component?
Yes, levin, hope the team could address the problem asap.
It seems buddypress is not well spread among mandarine users, I hardly can find a user group in mainland, how the things go in Taiwan?
@JJJ
…..the trend is your friend
@Slaffik,
I agree with you that too many options will confuse people, but this is not too much and I strongly feel those options will provide a great user-experience.
We currently do have the tabs “Groups”, “Members”, “Blogs”.
Why not having a tab named “Friends” ???
KISS
Keep It Simple & Stupid
done.
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1318
it is currently not possible to select “Milestone 1.3” within TRAC-ticket-system.
Bowe, actually, it’s in Russian )) And yes, my plugin display only those of your friends, who are currently on-line. Or rather (due to BuddyPress restriction) it shows those, who were active during the last 5 minutes.
Don’t you think, that if you have 50 friends and at least 20 of them is on-line then the list from the BuddyBar wll be tooooo long…
But I got the idea. Thank you!
Erich73, really the trend is almost perfect 
And I understood what you want. Will see what could be done easily and quickly. But Are you sure that all of that features will be useful for END-USERS (’cause everything we do is for them). Too many options sometimes make them unhappy with your site…
John James Jacoby, glad to see that you interested in my plugin ))
Well, plugin is doin’ almost what you wanted. It filters your friends and currently on-line people (in whole) and then I just check whether on-line person ID is the same as one of your friend’s. You will understand better if you find 2 minutes to see its code.
Thank you all. But I’m waiting more suggestions!
@fid
Above you state:
Now that’s a post I have been waiting to read for ages! I am telling you this would rock the vbulletin forum world. Do give us updates on when it will be released.
If you go back and read Anointed’s post, in his first paragraph, he says this:
I have no plans of releasing the software, but I can give you a little insight into why no-one has responded to your request.
So, unless Anointed and his crew change their minds, I would not count on their work being made available to the public. It sounds like it took a significant amount of effort and I can understand why their company would not want to make it freely available. VB, after all, is not an open source application.
