Repost: Finally A Follow Plugin For BP Without The Overlapping Button Problem
-
=== BuddyPress NeoFollow ===
Contributors: EthanVan, MegaInfo
Requires at least: WordPress 3.4, BuddyPress 1.5
Tested up to: WordPress 3.4.2 / BuddyPress 1.6.1
Stable Version: 1.0BuddyPress NeoFollow allows members to follow other members’ activity.
This newest follow plugin creates two button classes; one for the profile page and one for the members directory.
By using two CSS button classes we eliminate the overlapping button problem in the members directory that has been plaguing users of the previous follow plugins without effecting the follow button on the members’ profile pages.
This plugin is compatible with Private Message Followers Only and uses the same data as BuddyPress Followers and BuddyPress FollowMe so you can transition to it seamlessly.
Download the plugin here: http://ethanvandal.com/bp-plugins/bp-neofollow.zip
You will also need to download the required BuddyPress child theme to eliminate the overlapping button problem.
Download the child theme here: http://ethanvandal.com/bp-themes/bp-neofollow-bc.zip
This child theme invokes the use of the BP Default theme but can be modified to use any BuddyPress theme. If you need to use this with another theme please ask around on the BuddyPress.org forums. I do not guarantee support for use with other themes however, I will try and help out as much as I can.

hi @ethanvan,
What news in your new plugin NeoFollow
?
i check the code, and it’s is 100% from buddypress FollowMe plugin.And about the css problem, you can just add this line of css in your style :
ul.item-list li div.action div.generic-button{
margin-bottom:14px;
}That’ all
.You didn’t note two different css classes, one for members pages and one for members directory. This fixed the problem I was having with button placement. It’s on line 281 in bp-follow-template.php.
Granted it’s just a change in the class name by adding a 2 at the end but it makes all the difference for me.
When I would change the css both the profile follow button and the directory follow button would move. Not any more. Now you can adjust their position and attributes individually (the button wrapper anyways).
`
// setup the button arguments
$button = array(
‘id’ => $id,
‘component’ => ‘follow’,
‘must_be_logged_in’ => true,
‘block_self’ => empty( $members_template->member ) ? true : false,
‘wrapper_class’ => ‘follow-button ‘ . $id,
‘wrapper_id’ => ‘follow-button-‘ . $leader_id,
‘link_href’ => wp_nonce_url( $leader_domain . $bp->follow->followers->slug . ‘/’ . $action .’/’, $action . ‘_following’ ),
‘link_text’ => $link_text,
‘link_title’ => $link_title,
‘link_id’ => $class . ‘-‘ . $leader_id,
‘link_class’ => $class
);// setup the button arguments
$button2 = array(
‘id’ => $id,
‘component’ => ‘follow’,
‘must_be_logged_in’ => true,
‘block_self’ => empty( $members_template->member ) ? true : false,
‘wrapper_class’ => ‘follow-button2 ‘ . $id,
‘wrapper_id’ => ‘follow-button-‘ . $leader_id,
‘link_href’ => wp_nonce_url( $leader_domain . $bp->follow->followers->slug . ‘/’ . $action .’/’, $action . ‘_following’ ),
‘link_text’ => $link_text,
‘link_title’ => $link_title,
‘link_id’ => $class . ‘-‘ . $leader_id,
‘link_class’ => $class
);// Filter and return the HTML button based on the location in BuddyPress
if (bp_is_directory()) {
// Return the button class for the Members Directory
return bp_get_button( apply_filters( ‘bp_follow_get_add_follow_button’, $button2, $leader_id, $follower_id ) );
} else {
// Return the button for the Profile Pages
return bp_get_button( apply_filters( ‘bp_follow_get_add_follow_button’, $button, $leader_id, $follower_id ) );
}
`I know the bulk of the code is yours and that’s why I credited you.
Hope this clears up the changes made.
