How can I post media to another members page?

Hey there James Jams,

Hope you’re well today ??

I’m not really sure what you mean. ActivityPlus allows you to add media to Activity page posts and to your own activity posts.

I don’t believe it is possible to write on another member activity page so I’m not sure what exactly you’re referring to.

Please advise,
Bojan

Hello Bojan,

Thank you for your response. Perhaps it is called a ‘public message’ but essentially it is the same thing. On our network you can goto another members page and leave a @ message on their wall, which stays on their wall. But when you choose to use an image on their wall using your plugin, it ends up back on my ‘wall’ and just as a activity update that I posted on my page.

On our network people like to leave images on other members pages to wish them a happy birthday. A women did this to 10 members on Friday that had birthdays, and it ended up looking like she just posed 10 happy birthday images on her own page, a little strange..

Do you know what I mean?

Hey again James Jams,

I understand exactly what you mean but this shouldn’t be available in the BuddyPress core.

I’ve been testing this on my end and the way it works is when you got to siteURL/members/username/ and click on the public message it posts a message on the site Activity page and adds a mention (@username) to the post and not on the members page.

The same thing happens regardless of Activity Plus plugin being used or not so I’m assuming this kind of functionality is added by another plugin or possibly your theme which would explain why Activity Plus is not working properly.

Best regards,
Bojan

Hey again Bojan,

Yes it seems your theory is right. It seems like it is conflicting with a plug-in we are using called ‘Buddyboss wall’. We are using it to change the look of our profile page. It puts the wall front in center Facebook style and changes the look of the ‘Public Message’ dialogue box. It hides the @username when posting a public message on another wall, but then add’s it when you confirm the post.

The problem seems to lie when you use your photo plug-in with the Buddyboss wall. It misses that final step of adding the @username back to the post, so then the image get’s posted to my own wall, as if I am posting the image there…

Hmmm. Do you see anyway to get around this? Using their wall plug-on and your photo plug-in? They make a similar photo plug-in to yours, but I was hopping to use yours..

hmmmm again..

James

Hey James,

Buddyboss wall appears to be a premium plugin so I can’t really test this properly.

In order to make this to work I’m assuming we’d have to make some sort of integration where the plugin would check for Buddyboss wall and then add post to proper page.

I can suggest this to our developer and if enough interest is shown on WPMU DEV forum for this we will consider it for future development.

Best regards,
Bojan

There is a plugin for sending attachments in private messages.

It works good for me most of the time.
