Hi Mr Maz,

The 0.4.1 version almost resolved the filtering problem with languages (in my case french).

There are still problems with filtering links that are under a category that contains accents.

Eric

I have the links plugin installed and it seems to work for anyone with the title admin – but so far – when creating links – no one with a membership can see the link even if they are in that group. The only way they can see the links is if the link is public to everyone. Strangely – even if this member creates a link in a group and makes it for friends only (group) – they still won’t be able to see their own link created unless public. Any suggestions?

@mrmaz Just added support for your plugin to my “CubePoints Buddypress Integration” plugin I’m using the following do_action’s (bp_links_create_complete, bp_links_cast_vote_success, bp_links_posted_update, bp_links_delete_link). So if you ever change them please let me know because it will stop working on my plugin.

The plugin is not 100% update friendly, if I disable buddypress the site crashes.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_core_load_template() in /data/wwwcust/sv3-132/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-links/bp-links-core.php on line 277

I fixed this bug for my version with if ( defined( ‘BP_VERSION’ ) )
`
/**
* Use this only inside of screen functions, etc
*
* @param string $template
*/
function bp_links_load_template( $template ) {
bp_links_setup_theme();
if ( defined( ‘BP_VERSION’ ) ){
bp_core_load_template( BP_LINKS_THEME . ‘/’ . $template );
}
}
`

and wp single:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_site_admin() in /data/wwwcust/sv3-155/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-links/bp-links-admin.php on line 20

I changed:
`
if ( !is_site_admin() )
return false;
`
to
`
if ( !current_user_can(‘level_10’) ){
return false;
}

`

Terrific plugin! Using BuddyPress Links 0.4.1 (with BuddyPress 1.2.3, WPMU 2.9.2). Some feedback:

Frontend:

– When viewing a link in the Links tab, the A tag of the external link icon needs a target=”_blank”.

– Would be nice to have “Report Broken Link” and “Flag as Inappropriate” buttons for each link (or may be simply “Report” to save space, and it popups to “Report Broken Link” and “Flag as Inappropriate”). Then have that status show up in the Manage Links page as two additional columns. And also have a way of filtering and showing just broken or inappropriate links in the Manage Links report. And also have a way to clear status. Perhaps record user who reported the status (in case that user is falsely reporting and should be banned).

Backend:

– Instead of 3 entries in the BuddyPress dashboard menu (i.e.: BuddyPress Links / Manage Links / Edit Categories), have only one entry “Links”. Then divide the admin page into tabs: Settings, Links, Categories, Support, About.

– The “Search Links” box and the “Search Categories” box (on the Manage Links and Edit Categories pages, respectively) are not in the same vertical location. “Search Links” box is above the heading, “Search Categories” is below the heading.

– Disable the “Delete” buttons if no Links/Categories selected to delete.

– When doing a search (Search Links / Search Categories), add a “Show all Links” / “Show all Categories” button/link to clear the search criteria.

Manage Links page:

– Make all the A tags (Details / Owner / Edit) have target=”_blank”.

– Link the link avatar to the destination URL (with a target=”_blank”).

– If hover over a link avatar, show full size image in floating popup (like a tooltip).

Settings:

– Have a setting to enable/disable rel=”nofollow”.

– Have 3 checkbox settings to hide a link if it: (1) goes below a specified negative rating (e.g.: -10); (2) is flagged inappropriate a specified number of times; (3) reported broken a specified number of times. The link’s owner would still see the link but with a warning.

– Have a setting to specify what avatar to show if none specified. First radio box would be “default avatar”, following by radio boxes to select screen snapshot thumbnail from the various snapshot website services.

I’d like to use buddypress-links instead of “home”. How can I do that?

Is there a similiar functionality as it is for the activity stream?

HI, I’m using your Buddypress links plugin which I think is great but the only issue I have is that the ”Links” Link which is automatically added to the nav bar for my site also adds it to my subdomains which would be fine if it pointed the link on the subdomains to http://www.site/links like it does on the main domain. Instead on the subdomains it points to http://www.subdomain.site/links which displays a page not found error. -I’m using wordpress mu 2.9.2, the latest buddypress install and Buddypress links Version 0.4.1. Any thoughts on how to fix it or is the versions I’m running not compatible? I tried activating the pluin both site wide and not site wide and it happens in both cases. I appreciate any feedback.

Thanks
Mark

@eborg9 Do you mean like this?

Granted, I’m using Atahualpa so not blaming the plugin. That being said, if anyone has any ideas on how to fix my linkage that would be awesome! Aside from the way it looks on my site, the plugin ROCKS!, thanks!

“Notice: This plugin is under heavy development, and is not recommended for production environments!”

@MrMaz is it still under heavy development,??? we’re waiting for a stable version….

really ???

Is this plugin going to continue to be supported or has the author decided to deprecate it in favour of bp core development? (rumors)

Just installed it on a plain vanilla, WP 3.01, BP 1.252, no other plugins, default bp theme.

It won’t accept any links. Looks like everything works until hitting the Finish button. Complains about completing all fields. All is complete except that hitting the Fetch Details button does nothing. I can see a momentary flash of a Description field sometimes before it complains about completing all fields, but no description field is actually presented for input.

I have found other questions about no response on hitting Fetch Details, but I have seen no solution.

With WP Debug turned on, BP Links also renders a bunch of “deprecated” errors and and index warnings — which I don’t care about as they don’t *appear* to have any functional impact.

This is a marvelous plugin and it appears that many are able to get it functioning fine.

Since I have nothing unusual or complicated going on, any suggestions about what might be the problem.

Hi,

i have just a question about how i can disable all integration with (Profiles, Directory, Activity Stream, Widgets, Notifications, Admin Bar, Admin Dashboard) and let only the admin add ing the links (just http://www.mysite.com/links).

thanks for answer.
