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. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 [...]

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. 1 2 3 [...]

What is Buddypress?

Another interesting topic popped up on the BP forums today asking the question, What is Buddypress?…again my reply was too long for a forum reply. I think BP has leaned too heavily towards plugins built on top of BP, a plugin itself. I didn’t see it working that way at first and that’s why I [...]

So, your BP site is up! Now What?

I started writing this as a forum reply for this thread but I went a little long so I thought I’d give it a proper home and kickstart my blog. BP and MU and Plugins and Themes. It’s never really going to be perfect as you say, at some point you have to step back [...]

Formspring Asks

There’s another neat site that I came across a few weeks back called formspring.me – You may have seen tweets by people you follow that say “Ask Me Anything!” I had seen a someone’s formspring profile and thought nothing of it the first time around but then I saw tweets coming through with the “Ask [...]

That’s Nahum

Just a quick explain about this blog. My Profile is my facebook-myspace-social networking rolled into one. I figured I’m not going to continue jumping around checking all my profiles and I just need to bring it back to one place. There are now sites that consolidate your social media into one place like cliqset but [...]

Intro to Songs

This will be sort of a diary of songs. A lifetime revolved around music, I have catalogs of songs in my memory bank and every one of those songs has a memory attached to it. So before I begin forgetting these I’m going to recount every one of my favorite songs and I’ll also post [...]
