Hysteriux

Nah. I was working on this for a gaming guild and i’ve gone over to Enjin instead. No CMS or forum software in the world comes anywhere near an Enjin site. Totally worth the money.

I agree. The Quote function also gets added to (seemingly only some) updates about replies in the buddypress activity feed. And when clicked, you come to a page that doesn’t exist.

Hmm, actually, BP doesn’t even use ” the_author(); “. It uses all of this:

<?php printf( _x( 'by %s', 'Post written by...', 'buddypress' ), str_replace( '<a href=', '<a rel="author" href=', bp_core_get_userlink( $post->post_author ) ) ); ?>

I guess asking this here was a mistake. I didn’t know that BP replaces WP entirely like this. I guess it’s because of the theme it uses.

Well this works fine! It does however only add itself to single posts, which of course is a good start. But what i actually was after was a way to add something to a user’s name wherever his/her name shows up, everywhere on the website where it might. As it seems, the only way to do this in WP is to actually edit every file that displays names.

In this case, i guess it’s almost too much to ask for anyone to know how to add things like CubePoints rank and awards won as little images next to a user’s name on a heavily extended website running BuddyPress.

I bet someone however at least could help me figure out what to replace the correct code to use to fetch a user’s ID on different pages. The BP pages don’t use author but rather several different data to fetch each ID.

Thanks for the excellent help! I’ll get to it and try this out right away!

Would there be any interest by the dev(s) to add the functionality of the Custom Profile Filters For Buddypress plugin into Avatar Bubble?

This plugin makes it possible to replace the default address in clickable field values in user profiles with custom ones so that for example when a user enters his ID into a custom profile field called “Steam Profile” and someone clicks on that ID in the users profile they get taken to the users profile page on Steam, rather than simply searching for the value among the other members of the Buddypress community (which is completely useless for any kind of ID since they are always unique to one user.) Having this functionality spread to the avatar bubble as well would be killer! The plugin only consists of two rather small PHP documents, so it might not be too much work to implement this in Avatar Bubble or to make these plugins work together.

After adding the essential plugin that is Custom Profile Filters to my community i feel that it’s pointless to have unless the Avatar Bubble plugin also share this functionality since the avatar bubble is what most people use.

This is a bit odd: in the formatting.php document in the wp-includes folder it states the following:

“Sanitize username stripping out unsafe characters.
Removes tags, octets, entities, and if strict is enabled, will only keep alphanumeric, _, space, ., -, @.”

However, even while setting “function sanitize_user” to strict, it still says “Only small letters and numbers allowed” when registering a new username. WordPress doesn’t even listen to it’s own code or what? Is this a bug?

WP 3.3.1

Yes, it would probably look very much like that.

I’m not sure i follow you. I might have been registered here for a long time but i haven’t actually been here in years. I don’t know who JimmyR is or what his works are.

You’re saying i could use RSS in each one of the blocks for the blog-wall idea? Hmm… that might actually be a very easy solution to the fetching-part i guess. But what about the back-end then? I mean, when a person registers, he/she would then be writing his/her blog on a page separate from the wall to then be fetched and appear on the wall once pusblihsed. But wouldn’t that be more like having two sites? I was more thinking of the actual editing being done directly on the wall itself, with the block chosen by a newly regged member for example which would expand to cover the screen and display a set of editing-buttons etc.

I’m not very talented with code (and English isn’t even my native language btw) so i’m not sure how i would go ahead and build this myself. That’s kinda why i posted the suggestion in this board, for the devs of WP to perhaps take interest and add it as a feature some time.

Yes, like that. Thank you!

Which it isn’t now.

Thank you.

Trying this again…

Bumping for another try
