FlyinHawaiian,

You already have the photo on the user profile. Just you have to upload it on the user Gallery 😉

Before doing it, go to gallery settings and set the ‘Large Size’ that fits on your theme. If you set it to large, it will overflow outside the page.

You can set your page styles by using a CSS file. In the plugin’s folder there is a sample CSS file that can be modified or used as an example. I prefer using it as an example and set it anywhere else so updating the plugin does not override my custom CSS file.

Then, you can set your plugin custom style by using a filter on a plugin or theme like this:

/**
 * This will set a new style file for SidePosts.
 * Remember you have to write your new sideposts.css file!
 */
function my_community_style( $old_url ) {
    return 'http://mysite.com/styles/community.css';
}
add_filter('akucom_style_url', 'my_community_style');

To create a plugin to hold this custom filters, you can read this post that will help you: http://alkivia.org/wordpress/creating-your-filters-plugin/

Hi Paul!

The first feature you asked for have been released just now with the first stable 0.5 release.

About creating groups, I have to think about how can do it. Do you mean to have just a gallery for a group ?

For group comments I did not understand exactly what do you mean. Having a page to post group comments? Commenting on posts as a group? Please, tell me about.

Of course suggestions are always welcome. If I know what people is expecting is more easy to plan future features 😉

Regards,
Jordi.

No, I’m sorry. You have to tell your client’s to move from a provider that does not offer php5. It looks this provider does not update their systems to current versions with the security risks this means 😉

php4 is obsolete and the php team finished maintaining it falling 2007. I think it’s time enough to get the systems updated.

As php5 is the current and unique php version available, I prefer to develop using it and take all advantages it provides over obsolete php versions.

Set a priority lower than 10 for the filter ‘the_content’ on that plugin. Or set a priority higher than 10 for ‘the_content’ filter on the community plugin.

You can set something like this on line 97 of the file profiles.php:

add_filter('the_content', '_ucom_profile_page', 20);

This will make Community filter to run after plugins with standard priority. If that not works, try to change the priority to 5 (Perhaps the other plugin needs to run after Community to catch the page). Perhaps you can play also with 99, and 0 priorities. Please, tell me what priority solves it (if it does).

In my opinion, the best option is to change the priority on that other plugin, this way it will catch any plugin that outputs to the page at the exact moment it has to do it. I would contact the author to tell him this 😉

Remember that when hacking the plugins you will loose your changes when updating.

On my theme I do that by using a template which directly redirects to the login form if the user is not logged in.

Some comments to your post:

Thanks for your opinion 😉

What you ask about image sizes have been already answered in this forum, but will answer again 😉 Images are always resized to the needed (and configured) sizes. This is that way by design as it’s used to fill the templates on the users theme. If you see the image too huge or to small, adjust the large size on the gallery settings.

I don’t understand your second question. Do you mean the page should be for logged in users only? The Community plugin, just adds content to the page, the way yo lock the page is at your hands. But, I thing you should write the {+} on the page body when you create it.

Just one comment: please, start a new topic when asking for a new topic. This way users will found easily what was asked and responded 😉

You can use the filter ‘ucom_profile_extradata’ to show anything you want after the main user profile. This filter already has two functions added with priority 5 and 6. that provide the latest user posts and latest user comments. (Sorry filters are not yet documented)

So, If you want to show more info on the profile page, just add it like this in a plugin or theme:

function my_extradata( $output, $userID ) {
    $output .= 'Any HTML code you want to show';
}
add_filter('ucom_profile_extradata', 'my_extradata', 10, 2);

If you want to ensure your data shows after Last Posts and Last Comments, then set priority to 25 or higher. If you want to show before last posts and comments, set priority to any value lower than 5. (This values are for compatibility with current RC and the stable version).

Just consider that this filters takes 2 parameters, the output being prepared and the userID (To use if you have to search database information). So the call to add_filter have to include the last parameter as 2. You have to return valid HTML, as the plugin just displays all values returned, and add the data to the output, as it carries from filter to filter.

You have to take into consideration that I changed the priorities for last posts and last comments to 20 and 21 in the development version. This is to locate the latest posts and latest comments as the last output.

Hope this helps!

In version 1.5, just released, you have some filters to change the sort for the lists.

The data received from filters are passed directly to the WordPress query. And as it changes the query ordering, it changes also which posts are shown.

You can see what filters are available and how to use them at this page: http://alkivia.org/plugins/pagelist/filters-and-actions/

Don’t know if that will do your job as you have to code some lines. There you will find also a link to how to create your filters plugin.
