In reply to: [NGG Smart Image Search] Hide magnifying icon next to search boxThis is what happens for me as well. I haven’t been able to use the search bar at all and just have my clients rely on the tag cloud to find images on the site.
OK, it’s working/not working.
It does function, and I do have to look at it some more, but the CSS needs to be edited, or the code that controls the look of the search box …
http://images.artist-at-large.com
And how the found images are displayed on the search page – seems to be bringing up full images rather than thumbnails.
I think I’ve edited everything I can through the widget and settings area.
Thanks!
Note: My personal choices would be:
– No search button – user should just hit enter to search
– No color at all in the search box – that yellow is not right for anyone, should just stay white.
– Should imitate the clean CSS of the WP searchbox as closely as possible, if not just use it.– Ability to choose which pro thumbnail grid to use for search results page

I’m not entirely sure that is even possible.
The few contests I’ve entered where I needed to do extra tasks for extra entries, all gave the entries upon the click-through. I do not know which giveaway/sweepstakes plugin/software they were using.
I even noticed this on a giveaway that was entirely on facebook, where there were extra entries given for watching videos that were in the giveaway area. One only needed to click on the video and start it to get the extra entry.
I think having them unfollow later would be the worse of the two options. Having the ability to ask them to follow for extra entries is more important.
I enter sweepstakes online, and have installed your plugin on my site. I am looking to start my own giveaways in the next couple of weeks. Having the person unfollow later is not an issue for me. If the publisher has really good content, and I do, and the person entering the contest is truly interested in that content, they will stick around.
I tend to unfollow people on social media if they are not personable and are only selling selling selling and pushing. It’s up to the publisher to create good content to keep folks around.

In reply to: [BuddyPress First Letter Avatar] Can't activate the pluginOh, thanks for pushing me to read every single bit of the control panel. I finally found it way at the very bottom. Very tiny PHP icon that doesn’t really give the impression that one can change versions.
My previous web hosting service just did regular PHP upgrades in the background.
All is working now.
Thanks!

In reply to: [BuddyPress First Letter Avatar] Can't activate the pluginOK, I did look to see my PHP version and it is 5.3.27 … I hadn’t looked because when I read the Changelog, it said that 5.4 was required for versioin 1.0.2, and it worked fine on my site.
Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. I’ll check back in when my web hosting service updates PHP.

In reply to: [BuddyPress Activity Plus] Activity stream not automatically updatingDon’t know if this is a result of the activity plugin, or if it’s buddypress – why does the “Read More” open up into a new page, rather than just expanding the status update?

In reply to: [BuddyPress Activity Plus] Activity stream not automatically updatingTried it once.
Works for me (with a web site link).
Will know more as site members use it.
THANKS!

In reply to: [BuddyPress Activity Plus] Activity stream not automatically updatingI’m seeing the same thing.

In reply to: [BuddyPress] Move Widgets into BuddyBarI wanted to move “Who’s Online” and the last “X Number of Members” up to the buddybar. These are widgets that are usually in the sidebar.
I also wanted to move/put the html link to the full stream – the “Activity” page – up to the buddybar, but it seems that I can’t just add an html link to the buddybar? It has to be a function? I want the “Activity” stream to be visible by the public, everything else only visible to those who are logged in.
Even when people are logged in there is no link in the buddybar to the stream that includes all users – the one found on the “Activity” page.
I’m not linking to the other pages (Blogs, Members, Register, Activate, Forums, Groups).
What started this whole thing was the sidebar widgets – making the sidebar too long pushed down the activity stream … hard to describe but if you are not logged in you can see it here: http://www.artist-at-large.com/activity I also wanted to move these widgets up to the buddybar because I wanted navigation for the community to be all together in one place – I like the buddybar nav much better than the sidebar nav.
And I’m only using the sidebar as it is now as a spacer because without it the activity stream is too wide and difficult to read.
Because it was taking so long to figure this out, I decided to try and figure out other workarounds that flow with the site’s UI. So, while I would still like to know how to do the above, I’m also trying to figure out a workaround – or to fix the spacing issue in the within the activity stream. If I could fix the spacing issue (which just might be a missing div tag, but I can’t find it) then I could use the widgets in the sidebar … gah.

In reply to: [Multipost MU] [Plugin: Multipost MU] Comments?I decided to switch over to the Broadcast plugin when I realized that it does exactly what I need it to do …
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Multipost MU] [Plugin: Multipost MU] Comments?Yes. With Multi-Post, posts to main site and subdomains can go in either direction. I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to make all posts to the main site and trickle them down to the subdomains or if I’m going to continue posting to the subdomains and trickle them up to the main site.
It’s a bit of a logistical nightmare, because I’d really rather have the comments go on the subdomain post to keep the contributed information, in this case on a travel destination, on topic. I would also rather send the url of the subdomain post to social media sites like stumbleupon and twitter to spread out the traffic.
The plugin doesn’t work exactly like I expected – I expected a redirect/link of the post. So that if someone clicks on the post from the main page it would go to the one post on the subdomain. I thought it would just be the post-title, post-image and extract that would post to the main site.
The double comments thing just makes it even more confusing.
The other thing is that I have a Submission form on a page on the main site and I wanted to put the same page on each subdomain – but the form (of course) doesn’t go along with the page. Which then means that I have to create a different Submission page for each subdomain.

In reply to: [Multipost MU] [Plugin: Multipost MU] Comments?Yes, I request it too. It’s needed for websites that have a wide spectrum of posts on the main page, filtered down to more focused subjects in the subdomains. It’s really weird to have two completely separate sets of comments, depending on which site the site reader happened to comment on first.
Maybe it could be added as an option.
For notation’s sake in case anyone else is looking …
The Random Image Selector will allow for separate header image folders for each subdomain.
OK, lightbulb.
So far this works:
Original:
<?php $feature_post = get_posts( 'category=1&numberposts=1' ); ?>Change to:
<?php $feature_post = get_posts( 'category_name=travel-with-a-twist&numberposts=1' ); ?>So simple. But maybe posting this will help someone else. It seems to work – it uses the category slugs, so the slugs have to be the same across the main site and subdomains, but those are much easier to edit than category numbers.
I may change it be more dynamic later – but for now I want to get the whole site moved and functioning first, and then I’ll mess with it.
Now, onto that rotating header image problem.
Thanks Andrea_r!
