BP Album+ || New Features Requests and Discussion
-
If you need a free image gallery or photo album for BuddyPress, BP Album+ is probably the plugin you’re looking for. BP Album+ adds instant, FaceBook style photo albums to all of your user’s profiles.
You can always get the most up-to-date version from the WordPress plugin repository at this link:

Or, if you like living on the bleeding-edge of BuddyPress development, you can get the latest beta here:

======
This forum thread is for discussing new features the community would like to see in future releases of the BP Album+ plugin.
All ideas are welcome, no matter how crazy, bandwidth-intensive, or strange …but the final call on what goes into the plugin and when will be made by the development team.
Photos and user interfaces are a uniquely “visual” thing, so when posting an idea to this thread, please try to include a LINK to a website that’s doing the thing you want included in the plugin. For original functions that don’t exist *anywhere* yet, draw a sketch of your idea in a paint program and post a link to the image.
This will make it much easier for users that don’t speak English to understand your idea.
So, Let’s get started!

@ Anointed
With that plugin you can already code that into your theme yourself, when user is a subscriber show upload, when he/she is not, then hide and give a nice message. Look at the advanced tab in the plugin.
@ Foxly
Nice cool ideas, but what I would like to see then would be to disable all those features, I won’t need that many features, only need picture upload with albums.
I think this has been mentioned. But I would like to a see a mysite.com/photos/
This would show all the photos that everyone has uploaded. Then you can organize by most replies, most recent, etc. This would be done the road though
@Mike Pratt – We are in serious dev mode…

Groups, groups, GROUPS!!!
That’s the only reason I’m not using this plugin right now. Multiple albums would be nice, too. But I honestly think group albums are up there with “This should be standard” features. Forget all the would-be-nice options for now. Make sure the core functionality works, make sure the most-requested features are implemented, then add everything else later.
Please, I’m begging, add groups. I’d even be willing to learn whatever is needed to help code it in. I know a bit of PHP, but have never coded for a plugin before.
Regarding problems with the BuddyPress Links plugin…
Found the defect.
The problem is being caused by two blocks of code inside the BPLinks plugin that do not account for the situation where the BuddyPress administrator disables “friend” capabilities for the site.
When friend capabilities are disabled, calling the friends_check_friendship() function will crash the user thread. We handle this problem in BP Album+ by wrapping all calls to this function in a function_exists(‘friends_check_friendship’) statement, only calling the function if it is enabled.
This is a sneaky, subtle defect that could easily be missed during testing; fortunately, BPLink’s clean, well-documented source code made it easy to isolate and correct the problem.
Here’s a simple patch:
1) In “bp-links-classes.php” at line 650
REPLACE:
if ( $link_owner_user_id && $link_owner_user_id != $bp->loggedin_user->id && friends_check_friendship( $link_owner_user_id, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) ) {
$status_opts[] = self::STATUS_FRIENDS;
}
WITH:
if (function_exists(‘friends_check_friendship’)) {
if ( $link_owner_user_id && $link_owner_user_id != $bp->loggedin_user->id && friends_check_friendship( $link_owner_user_id, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) ) {
$status_opts[] = self::STATUS_FRIENDS;
}
}
2) In “bp-links-core.php” at line 1128
REPLACE:
return friends_check_friendship( $user_id, $link->user_id );
WITH:
if (function_exists(‘friends_check_friendship’))
return friends_check_friendship( $user_id, $link->user_id );
else
return null;
