@_dorsvenabili – I’m glad you like our plugin.

There are actually two developers working on this plugin now, @francescolaffi, and myself @foxly; @francescolaffi is busy writing his exams right now, so I’m handling all the user support for the next few days.

BP Album is community-developed software! If you find it useful, please consider contributing code, translations, and ideas to the project. Helping answer new user’s questions on the forums is also helpful, because it means we have more time to work on writing code.

@hnla – Deciding how to dimension thumbnails, based on images with widely varying aspect ratios, and then present them in a grid, has been a problem that has dogged graphic designers since the earliest days of the Internet.

The two most popular way to do this are “Facebook Style”

and “Flickr Style”

I’m actually writing code for *both* options *right now*, and after some back and forth with @francescolaffi we’ll probably get it set up as an option in the administrator backend.

We could probably add the ability for users to manually crop the thumbnail for each picture in their gallery using the avatar cropping tool, and I will look at the feasibility of doing this. Experience has shown that most users do *not* want to do this for every picture they upload …and that’s why neither Facebook nor Flickr include this functionality.

^F^

Just checked it out. REALLY NICE! Simple, clean, great!! Thanks alot!

PS: Where can I send the german translation to?

Works well on http://bp-fr.net, Francesco !

I send you a fr_FR translation immediatly.

Expect some noobs question about define settings… hold on !

I didn’t think about an inside name change, but you’re right, the translation allows this change very easely.

Hi Peter,

i have sended you the fr_FR translation by the usual way…

I have a question to you and all other users.

What do you think to call this plugin “bp-doclib” instead of “buddypress-group-documents” ?

DocLib is really shorter as Group Documents in the admin menu and more handy to use on a forum, like

“hey my doclib is going crazy”, instead of “buddypress-group-documents is….”…

+ 1 for me (even if DocLib (docutheque) is in use since 0.1.3 release on bp-fr.net)

Dutch translation is done, if you’d like, you could add it to your plugin.

I’d really appreciate it if you could test it on wp single.

Finally a buddypress user gallery plugin that’s free and works with 1.2.

Just a question though, will it work with wordpress single, or isnt it tested with it yet?

I’ll do the Dutch translation by the way.

The Plugin hav been updated today and is now on version 0.05

0.03-beta Renamed Plugin to “Default Blog” in consider of developements in future. Cleaned up the code. Plugin will be shown in the Siteadmin menue independent of backend

Hi all,

asked by nexia, a pot file for the welcome pack plugin is ready here:

http://bp-fr.net/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/documents/1267797907-i18n-dwp.zip

in the zip you will also find a french translation.

i haven’t installed it so i’m not sure of the path and the file name.

i suppose dwp-xx_XX.mo in the i18n folder ?

Anyway the pot file is done

Florian, if you are german, you could just change the translation in the .po -file.

Open the german .po with po-edit, search the translations you want to change, and you have what you want.

I ‘like’ @hempsworth ‘s rating plugin.

I just don’t think options table is the right place to store language translation.

I have to delete bp_like_settings from sitemeta table with phpmyadmin.

Then reactivate this plugin before my translation shown up.

But after all. I vote this plugin to be in the core

before other developer make other rating capability in their plugin.

On 2 different test sites (WP with BP, not WPMU) everything works ok except for 3 things:

1 – the “view likes” button doesn’t appear on all activity streams items where it should appear;

2 – changing the visibility setting doesn’t change a thing (maybe it’s because I’m using the admin account);

3 – on one site the “load more” link in the bottom of the activity stream stopped working and in the other site, it loads the items with the original language, not the translation.

I will test it better as soon as possible.

The limitation of WP-Ban is that it’s not working at .htaccess level, so it only really does it’s thing if a spammer is polite enough to access your site normally. You might want to look at something like a plugin that’s going to ban IPs and referrers at the .htaccess level.

Also, had a quick look at your site – I presume you’re talking about http://young-people.ch ? I notice your register page is still /register (albeit translated) – have you tried changing this to something else? There’s eevery chance that the mere translation of the standard ‘register’ slug won’t slow the spammers down.

Full translation support is coming in 0.0.6, if you are interested in translating the plugin into your language please let me know and I can create the translation set over on my GlotPress install which will allow you to easily translate the strings.

I’d like to do the italian translation. Thanks.

@blackphantom Hmmm – strange thing. Yesterday it just worked fine, now, no tweets are coming in to BP anymore… I think it stopped, when I uploaded my localization. Could that (a translation) cause that?
