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.

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.

Hi

This is the url

It displays the image in the main activity stream for the person who posts it but when someone replies to the image their reply displays the url not the image in the activity stream – I hope you understand

Thanks again

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 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
