What does line #320 in “bp-album-core.php” in the “bp-album” folder say?

(The line starts with “‘screen_function’ =>….”

@coffeeholic – In that case, it appears the files on your server did not get updated properly. In the updated file, that line reads “‘screen_function’ => ‘bp_album_screen_album_home’,”

Some web hosts prevent FTP uploads from overwriting existing files as a safety measure.

Flat-out delete the files, delete the bp-album directory, and re-upload the new plugin files. Then download “bp-album-core.php” file and verify line #320 reads as it should.

Thanks!

Re: “Can you make the plugin mobile friendly for iphone & android phones to display easily ?”

Please give us some guidance on what you would like the plugin to do to help accomplish this.

Thanks!

@Xevo – We hear back from Google on April 26th, so I would guess, at most, 2 weeks after that.

I’d do it sooner myself, but I don’t want to cost @francescolaffi a summer job. (I don’t qualify for GSOC myself since I already work as a professional software developer)

Also, don’t forget that BP Album+ is completely open-source software, and you’re *encouraged* to hack it, rearrange it, and extend it with your own features.

We spent over 20 hours (= $1000 in billable time) documenting the source last week to make it easier for *you guys* to work with!

@paulhastings0 – thanks mate! We’re keeping our fingers crossed! I mean, think of the “awesomeness factor” of Google sponsoring our plugin. We are in contact with Andy & friends.

Re: “And the problem is that it seems almost like a redirect or something, the actual image is found in: /wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/album/12/filename.jpg”

There are actually *six* different versions of the image cached to that folder (the name of which is arbitrarily set by the site owner, so “wp-content” and “blogs.dir” may have different names) And then that’s stacked on top of the base URL for the site which may be any number of combinations of http://www.example.com/mediaURL or http://subdomain.example.com/foo/bar/wordpress/files/mediaURL

We’ve put a lot of work into making sure there are template tags that will return the correct URL to the right media file size.

I sent you a PM explaining how to navigate around inside the plugin and find functions that do things. If there are a lot of you out there that want to start hacking the plug-in, we might consider writing a short tutorial to help everyone.

Nice catch on the “Oh BTW Right Click + Save doesn’t work on the default BuddyPress Album Template because the hyperlinks hovering over the image itself ” thing though. Didn’t think of that…lol

@Gene53 – Re “Is there code I could modify to show the latest pics in the albums first?”

In “bp-album-core.php” at line 246, add:

$args[‘ordersort’]‘DESC’;

This mod may have side effects. Do not deploy it on a live site without testing first.
