BP Post Directly Friends Activity

I had come up with this before Buddypress had released their 1.2 version that you see used on Buddypress.org…so the newer way might be more recommended for whatever reason.  This was just one of the first functionalities that I jumped into. I haven’t looked to see how they’ve done it but this way works for [...]

How to get BuddyPress Comment Count by Blog?

I wanted to be able to show a member’s comment count from a particular blog on a multisite wordpress blog network. I found a couple of ways to do it using switch_to_blog. This is to display the comment count on a user profile page. Install the Buddpress Member Profile Stats plugin. And put the following [...]

Ping: the music social network

Trying out ping. It came out this week. I just really started using my 5 year old ipod this year even though I’ve downloaded over 50,000 songs from iTunes. We’ll see how it goes with Ping. I’ll report back. So far the sign up process had one bug I noticed but all in all simple. [...]

Canvas is a beast

I’m having a tough time with Wootheme’s Canvas and child themes. For one, I’m having trouble with adapting it to Buddypress and multisite. Where before I was strictly Freshnews and plussing out the custom.css and sharing headers out to other themes for sites on the network, and I was loving that. Now. Child themes have [...]

The Return of NM

No not a sequel announcement for the 80 mouse movie. It’s the return of me to this site. I’ve been off learning about buddypress and wp3.  I did have a semi-framework installed here before but with 3.0wp I felt it was time to readjust some things and begin some practices I wasn’t using before. Like [...]

Add a Character Limit to Buddypress Activity Post Form

Here’s how I added length limiting to my post box in Buddypress. Open the activity/post-form.php and add this near top. I put it under the avatar, don’t remember right now if there was a reason for that. Add this next clip right afterwards or depending where you want it to display the number counter, you [...]

BP’s Most Common Component Combinations

I’ve tried many of the different bp plugins available and these keep sticking around time after time on each network I am working with. These are only one the ones listed in my plugins panel. There have been some other plugins that I’ve worked into the functions. The themes or main sites usually end up [...]

BP Member Profile Links to Network Author Pages

I’ve been working on getting links in the buddypress member profile that jump over to author pages(author.php) for that user on other blogs on the network.  The following hack job code I got to do just that but it doesn’t do it quite right. It only shows blogs that the user is currently a member [...]

Shutting it Down…

The time has come. The era of wrangling social media is over. I will begin shutting down accounts across the board starting with some of the first accounts I started. Myspace you will be first to go. I’ve already deleted facebook twice in the last 5 years…i’m not scared of a third. I’ve been thinking [...]

The Space is Always Greener

I don’t spend much time on the major social networks any more and if you look at my mighty little twitter widget on my sidebar it’s been more than 80 days (as of 4/26) since I tweeted. These last 6-12 months have been torture witnessing the mass absorption of social media but it wasn’t the [...]

How to add Ads to Buddypress Activity Stream?

Don’t know if this is the best way to go about doing it but it works for me. If you want to ad advertisements – adsense or any other – try this. By modifying the activity-loop.php. You just need to house your ad code where you want and replace the filepath accordingly.
