Killer plugin for buddypress! No forum topic here ....so I posted here...

One question, one suggestion:

I wanted to add a number of quick links to the footer... would seem to be an easy process but I can't get the icons to show..

For instance would like to add "my favorites stream" to the fb_foot_panel

using:

<li><a href="<?php echo $home_link."/members/".$user_login."/activity/favorites/"; ?>" class="favs">My Favs <small>My Favs</small></a></li>

Created a class exactly like the other classes in the foot_panelsytle.css

a.favs{ background: url(../images/fav.png) no-repeat center center; }

A blank spot shows up, link is there no icon...

Would love to see a spot for:

My Favorites Stream

My Friends Stream

My Group Activity Stream

My Settings...

Suggestion along the lines of the questions on Buddypress:
Maybe there is a way to quick link people using your "online" function with tinychat? Don't know, but would be awesome.

Finally, On Buddypress for your plugin the group and forum doesn't seem to work. Download from buddypress doesn't work either.. I downloaded from Wordpress...

And again, thank you for this great plugin!

Jan on Wordpress Sidebar Post Plugin

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 14:42:44 +0000

What makes wordpress a great CMS is its ability to be extended beyond one's wildest dreams via plugins. Janvier designs and Wordpress Rooms recently published a small plugin to allow website/blog owners to post a publishing post in the sidebar to allow visitors to publish to the bnlog/website directly. There are many reasons why one would like to do that and the main one being that it gives the users a chance to participate in providing the content to the site.

Features

It can be called within the sitebar widget of any wordpress widget ready theme.
It can also be called anywhere else in the template files by calling the sidebar_post_wiget() php function anywhere.
It comes handy with a form validator javascript, hence preventing the form from being submitted without being completed.
Future versions will have a backend management menu that will allow users to set up redirect URL and many other features.

Installation

Download the sidebar post plugin first.
Upload the /sidebar-post/ directory in the /wp-content/plugins of your wordpress installation
Activate the plugin in the admin area
Add the widget where you want
Enjoy
