To Buddypress or not to Buddypress— that is the question

    Hello-howdy.

    I’m building several sites for one client, and one “child site” is to be a social site for their members. The client has been using Ning for a few months to play with it, and it’s honestly pretty gross.

    In a nutshell, they want a Facebook. They want to read & post messages/images/videos from anywhere in the world, using desktop/notebook/tablet/mobile. The “members posting stuff too” is the key. Is this even possible on Buddypress?

    It’s tricky on mobile devices, but doable.
    You’ll want to use the BP mobile theme for those or build your own.

    Apple Safari doesn’t allow uploading, so you have to use a workaround like Aurigma Up.
    @modemlooper says he built an app that does the same thing and he’s considering releasing an unbrandable version with a site license – I for one sure hope he does.

    Android allows uploads but things like the avatar crop tool won’t work, afaik.
    We built a custom avatar upload page with auto-crop for Android as part of our custom mobile theme.

    Hopefully you’re lucky enough to have a client that actually understands what is involved when they say they want a ‘facebook’.
