BuddyPress

I just tagged version 0.2.1 of BuddyPress Links which has an amazing new feature! You can now embed just about any web page as rich media, complete with a Facebook style “thumb picker.” It is now possible to use BuddyPress as a very fast and powerful media aggregator.

I put together an overview and a screen cast on my new website

Please post any bug reports or comments on this thread!

Really great to see this released MrMaz, well done.

Very cool and well done!

I watched the screen cast. It is interesting to see how quickly you can auto embed an external resource.

Great! I’ve written a blog post about it;

This plugin is extremely awesome indeed!

amazing, seems food poisening does good things to you

would it be possible to mash that with a bookmarklet? say i see something, click the bookmark and it gets added as a BP link?

@MrMaz ! Excellente’ !!!!

@tinus2 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I just upgraded via the auto upgrade

im on
BP 1.1.2
PHP 5.1.4

“Please fill in all of the required fields”

Nothing I do to add a link seems to work

any ideas?

WOW! Very nice work MrMaz.

wow! that looks cool Mr Maz
keep up the good work

Love it Mr. Mas, keep it going!

agh.. i cant make this thing work..

“Please fill in all of the required fields”

is the message i get

I have object cache installed does that make a difference?

@PH

I have only tested the plugin on PHP 5.2 and higher, and there are a couple of required functions that only exists in 5.2 and up. I have implemented support for the internal WP object cache, but have not fully tested it myself.

Is it possible for you to test in another environment with PHP 5.2 with object caching turned off?

There was someone else a while back that was having a similar problem, but he did not follow up on the testing so not sure exactly what is going on.

@MrMaz, very impressive and I’m wondering does it have a feature that streams in RSS/Atom feeds ? I mean when a user uploads to youtube /ustream.tv & flicker then it’s added in BPRC-link.

Because I want it on the pro version?

@PH

I sent you a PM with instructions for how to gather some data so I can look into your issue

“No Thumbnail” text is not translatable on “/links/[some-slug]/admin/edit-details” page.
I sent you a PM with the link to ru_RU.
