ParticipantGoogling around revealed these plugins:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-new-default-avatar-emrikols-fork/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-new-default-avatar/
I would dig around a little more on Google. I’m sure you’ll find some more plugins.

Paul Wong-Gibbs
KeymasterThis site uses a customised version of the current “trunk” code, which adds support to BuddyPress to integrate into WordPress’ pages system/menus properly.

ParticipantYes, BuddyPress would definitely benefit from a serious UX review. Theming is much harder work than it should be. It’s far too tightly coupled to the core, with too much presentation code / decision making embedded and difficult to change. The permalink activity pages are definitely the worst presented and often most useless aspect of the default setup.
That said – the default setup can never be made to please every user. It’s perfectly reasonable / normal to have to create and modify your own bespoke template files to get the site you want. It’s the same for WordPress, Drupal, Expression Engine – any content management system you care to name.
Copying everyone under the sun on your post, is unlikely to win you many fans! However, there really should be somewhere more obvious and accessible to raise thoughts about the interface and BP experience.
My tuppence worth: make the API much finer grained (e.g. accessing the activity stream elements by part, rather than monolithic string), loosen the presentation coupling as much as possible, and put out a default theme that’s based on a finer grained access, and therefore much easier to understand how to re-work and restyle. This would encourage more theming, more unique uses of BuddyPress and push the boundaries.

September 14, 2010 at 12:46 pm #92393In reply to: Using bp_activity_add() to update an activity
rich! @ etiviti
Participantsomething like:
`
$activity_id = bp_activity_add( array( ‘id’ => 555, ‘action’ => ‘something new and blue’ );
`no reason to use the do_action – that is just a trigger point for hooking into buddypress.
make sure you capture all the previous activity data and pass that back in – performs a full sql update on all cols (see the code in https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-edit-activity-stream/ )

ParticipantHow did you install the plugin? With the default WordPress installer or via FTP?

– Make extra effort of adding username and passwords for MySQL and phpMyAdmin instead of default.
– Enable mod_rewrite – this article is great reference

Paul Wong-Gibbs
KeymasterYes. Some tend to break certain parts of BuddyPress, however, so if your group avatar cropping stops working, it’s probably a WordPress plugin’s javascript causing a conflict.

KeymasterHave you tried using the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin with your existing WordPress theme?
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/Follow the steps closely. You’ll probably need to tweak the CSS styles once you have the Template Pack plugin up and running.
A good CSS debugger is the Firefox plugin, Firebug:

KeymasterMAMP is needed if you’re using a Mac

I would use a WAMP package unless your professor has a Mac, but yes, it is completely possible to have BuddyPress run locally off a USB stick.
First, you’d need to find a MAMP / WAMP / LAMP package that is portable.
Some portable WAMP packages can be found here:
http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?sc=125Once you have your WAMP server up, you’ll need to install WordPress / BuddyPress. Then, you’ll need to copy your theme files over as well as importing a database dump of your existing BP site.

Paul Wong-Gibbs
KeymasterI think it’s here https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/first-visitor-message/. I can see straight away that it is loading its own version of jQuery. It is also loading its own javascript on every front-end and admin page load. I think if these issues were addressed in the plugin, it would work properly with BuddyPress.
September 12, 2010 at 1:03 am #92199@mercime
ParticipantTheme, you can get a WordPress theme with magazine format then install BP Template Pack which you will need to tweak to mesh with HTML structure of your WP theme.
Photos, videos and audio (if you allow all three in admin) uploads working with BP Gallery Plugin, which is premium at this time. You could set Gallery page to include all media or set up pages for respective media. Edit – Also individual members plus groups have their own respective photo, video and audio gallery pages out of the box.

ModeratorThere are too many options. There are 725 plugins tagged video for WordPress. Not all of these will work with BuddyPress.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=videos&sort=
You are better off testing plugins out. As for themes, you can use most WordPress themes with BuddyPress but you will have to adjust the code.
