BuddyPress.org

Read up on this:

There’s also a plugin that makes it easier to modify the admin bar:

I haven’t tried it, but give it a shot and let us know what you think of it!

Forgot to list oEmbed for BuddyPress

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/

v0.6 coming on the weekend or a day or two after that.

My avatars are showing up, but the alignment is all vertical on the sidebar with no spacing . What I would love is an avatar block to show up. I’m also having the spacing issues (or lack of spacing) in my Members page.

I’m using the BuddyPress Template plugin on BuddyPress 1.2.1 for WordPress single user 2.9.2. This site is a test site for a client project and it’s pretty much the last hurdle. The website is http://workingonthisnow.com/MHA

I appreciate all the help! This forum is amazing.

hi there,

on my

– WP single user 2.9.2

– old wordpress self-customized magazine theme

– BP 1.2.1

– and more than 20 other wp plugins

the following BP plugins are running fine :

– BuddyPress Template Pack 1.0.2;

– BP Group Documents 0.2.5

– BP-TinyMCE 0.2.1

– External Group Blogs 1.2.1

(Just a small php error by delating a group, for the moment)

Guys, that’s a good job !

I’m contributing to a plugin called events-manager (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/events-manager/), but I’m not sure it works on BuddyPress or MU for that matter.

I’m working on a BP project at the moment that could use an events plugin, so I hope to have some time to upgrade it and adapt it to work on MU/BP in the near future. This would not be for a few weeks though…

Just a quick one thought I would point out to, I have managed to integrate sexy bookmarks into the actual link see here:

http://www.wpin.me/links/whats-coming-in-wordpress-3-0-features

How did I do it?

Basically opened up the following file

wp-content/plugins/buddypress-links/themes/bp-links-default/single/link-header.php

In the link-header.php find:

<div id=”item-meta”>

<span class=”domain”><?php bp_link_url_domain() ?> –</span>

<?php bp_link_description() ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bp_link_header_meta’ ) ?>

</div>

and insert <?php if(function_exists(‘selfserv_sexy’)) { selfserv_sexy(); } ?> in between

<?php bp_link_description() ?> and <?php do_action( ‘bp_link_header_meta’ ) ?>

Thats it select the bookmark sites you want and ta da!

my first contribution, I feel giddy.

There’s also some discussion going on about it here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/attachments-for-activity-items

I strongly doubt it will have any effect at all. Did you know even something as basic as the hyperlink has been patented? Just this website alone probably already infringes on dozens and dozens of existing software patents. Software companies generally don’t go after people who infringe on their patents until they might become a credible threat to their business model.

Furthermore, these kind of patents are all invalid outside of the US. So in a worst case scenario wordpress & buddypress would have to move some of their business to Europe. I highly doubt it would ever come to that though.

The only media options right now are third-party plugins.

BP-Gallery seems to be close to a release for v1.2 – http://buddydev.com (paid plugin)

Kaltura for BP hasn’t been updated to v1.2. I would suggest you contact them for an update:

http://wpveda.com/buddypress-kaltura-media-component/

I wouldn’t be too worried about this. Any software (inc. wordpress) is filled with functionality that has been patented before one way or another (and the facebook news feed patent includes many elements that have been patented by other companies before). Most of these patents have so much prior art that they would never hold up in court. If wordpress core and plugin devs had to check for existing patents for every single function they added wordpress development simply woudn’t be possible and grind to a halt.

A second issue is that software patents aren’t valid outside of the US, so if you’re really paranoid about this kind of thing you can always host your site in Europe.

Well, to be honest that pretty much sums up CSS doesn’t it – ‘just way too much css tweaking required’. Every site I’ve ever developed has required a fair bit of CSS tweaking / hacking / fighting!

As someone who hacked BP1.1 into a premium WP theme (and boy was that a headache!) I actually found that in comparison, BP 1.2 with @andy’s BP Template Pack was a dream. Granted, to get it exactly how you want it takes a little work, but I managed to update a new WP theme in under an hour! Then gradually bringing in BP css from the default theme along with some changes of my own has pretty much worked for me.

The default structure / css is never going to work for everyone – I think it has to follow WP to a point, after all, they’re related apps – but look at it this way: at leastyou haven’t had to create a whole social networking plugin!

@timnicholson – let me know if / when you’ve knocked together the tutorial and I’ll throw in any useful tips that I come across as I finish my own mods.

I agree that this is more difficult than it should be. I’m finding that when I try following the buddypress codex on this with using @imports, the admin bar works fine, but pulling in the default theme css screws up a lot of things. I’ve found that just grabbing the default buddypress theme’s css sytles that are in addition to the core wordpress ones is working better.

I really think that the buddypress default theme should do a better job at segregating core wordpress css tags from the buddypress specific ones. The buddypress-specific css styles seem to be too dependend on the core wordpress ones. For example, core wordpress typically removes the dots from
