Hi
Adding a picture works great on the main activity feed but shows only the url on the profile page of the user and the link does not work it seems cut off at the end.
Also replies to posts with pictures only show the url not the image
Can an image be displayed instead ?
Thanks
2.9.2
1.2.3

I assume you’re talking about the oEmbed for BP plugin?

This is the intention.
and the link does not work it seems cut off at the end.
This isn’t a problem with the plugin, but rather with the way BuddyPress parses text for the latest update.
Also replies to posts with pictures only show the url not the image
Works for me. Make sure you didn’t tamper with the bp-oembed-config.php file.
Hi
Thanks for the reply

I don’t tamper – because I have no idea how too
What would you suggest for this problem ?
Thanks

I need an example of the image URL you’re using for the main update and for the replies.
Oh
I am in china and we all use youku.com here – how can I add that so it can work in bp ?
youtube is blocked here
Thanks

Just tested this on a fresh install of WP 2.9.2 and BP 1.2.3.
It’s working for me.
Please try deactivating the plugin and deleting the plugin folder entirely, then re-download and activate the plugin again.
ok will try now – thanks

Hi did that and same – picture speaks a thousand words – better than I can explain anyway…
Ahh I see now… yeah that’s intentional.
I thought you meant this:
ok thanks glad to know it’s working as you designed
Shame I can’t see your image – maybe cos I’m in China
Any clues on how I could add youku.com to the script ?
Thanks

You can manually add video sites if you know a little code:

My plan is to create a new plugin that will offer support for more 3rd party sites.
I might make Youku one of them; though you can sway me over with a donation
love to donate – I really believe in you guys doing all this work only trouble is I am in China so I need another way other than paypal….
let me know if you can accept another way – or there’s a free spare bed to sleep if you ever come over
code – hahaha not something I can do…
Thanks
