Where do you publish pictures in BuddyPress ? They’re several share plugins out with img services like pinterest or flikr. Search for them on the plugin repo.
Do you know these WP oEmbed rules ? Entering such allowed urls in the notice editor (what’s new) will work automagically.
Or maybe customize thisplugin.
I use “BuddyPress Activity Plus” plugin. This plugin allows user to post pictures on activity streams as update.
The excart .php file that handles the picture publishing is what I can not figure out.
Plugin: BuddyPress Activity Plus – Version 1.6.1
As you can see, i use nothing to publish pictures on this forum.
I only entered a picture url from photobucket. This works also with the What’s new editor.
And if a plugin would exist here, i could share it on different networks.
I don’t know excart.php and buddypress activity plus. If you need information about this plugin you have to ask the author on the plugin support.
So what is related to BuddyPress in your question ?
I understand the method of copying the url of a picture and pasting it in the “What’s new” editor very well.
But here is what I mean.
I want to create a customised “SharePics” service button that owners of any other websites on any platform can embed in the codes of their sites for the visitors to be able to share the pictures from their to my site by clicking on the “SharePics” button just like the Share on Facebook button, Pin It to Pinterest, Tweet to Twitter and so on without having them to copy the picture url manually.
I want to include my “SharePics” button on “AddThis” list so that site owners can embed the button for their visitors to share the site pictures to my site
That my SharePics service with the icon would be listed on AddThis button list

If you could get it to work with wordpress using /wp-admin/press-this.php you could probably make it work with the light version of WP’s editor used for notices. Don’t know exactly what you mean by”endpoint”, but if it’s related to “target”, tought that what’s new is targeted and ajaxified, like pressthis.
But i’m not developper, so i can’t help you much for doing that.

Thats actually a great concept and very useful one too. If we could do that for “Likes” ( or +1) or for “Comments” it would be great. When I say this, people immediately ask
– do I want to be another FB or Google +
– who is going to do that for my site, which i supposedly small, not well known etc
True. But there is no harm in the proof-of-concept. Having our own “Like” and “Comment” system that willing websites can share. But sigh! This is one area no php scripts have ever thought or coded, as far as I know. (If they did, FB would not have this ugly monopoly). There may be workarounds with the codes and protocols already available in wordpress (or for that matter in other scripts) but I am afraid there is no ready-made plugin available.
It maybe done by a DEV for an amount of money, I guess.
That is what is my understanding, I may be wrong. Thanks.
@rosyteddy,

It is possible, and I am close to it using /wp-admin/press-this.php. But the issues are that press-this.php places posts on wordpress sites and it grants users admin dashboard. My site uses buddypress and “BuddyPress Activity Plus” plugin to post pictures on front-end.
What I want now is the .php file like press-this.php that handles the posting of updates on front-end without granting users access to admin dashboard.
Hi @sunday-a-james Thats great. Go ahead! Many congrats.
Hi @danbp
I only entered a picture url from photobucket. This works also with the What’s new editor.
Do you know of any plugin or settings that declares the photo credit or copyright below the photo so that when I post such a photo in stream it is clear that this photo is “taken” from elsewhere? Thanks
@rosyteddy,
no idea, but WP use whitelisted oEmbed service. So you can trust them. And you can always add manually an © author ©

Yes, I mean “target”. And how do I locate the “light version of WP’s editor?
@danbp
Thanks. Its not a question of trusting them. I trust always. Issue is:
Suppose you have created a site where your members use this feature and posts pictures not belonging to them in their stream. It is okay but there should be a small note (if the site admin feels so as an option) to say if that is picture is from flickr | original postername (if available) or photobucket or whatever
Asking users to manually add a note won’t work most of the time – it should be and must be solved programmatically. I visited the page https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/design-decisions/#whitelisting-oembed-providers but could not see any comment-box ( although there are other user’s comments)
This should be an issue but in WP main site I have no idea where do I submit “issue”, and even if I do I wonder if there is going to be any response at all. But I think this should be addressed immediately. Thanks.
