Hi John,
Thank you for the question.
I am sorry, I missed to reply over email about this.

There is no simple way to achieve it as the 3 specific roles are hard coded in BB/BP.

This is doable but the time and cost involved makes it difficult. You will probably need to hire a developer to achieve it.

Hi Deanna,
Welcome to BuddyDev support forums.

No, the testimonials are available on user profile as well as in the backend(for admins) but there is no specific stream for posted testimonials.

Hi Joy,
Thank you for the question.

There is no straight forward way to achieve it.
The class BP_XProfile_Field_Type_WordPress_Biography does not offer any way to change the markup from text editor to use wp_editor instead.

There are solutions like extending this class and overriding edit_field_html and then using the filter bp_xprofile_get_field_types to use the new class.

Or, TinyMCE can be enabled using javascript.

But the best way is to request BuddyPress team for it. They only need to do a minor change to make it work exactly like multi line text area and that would be better and maintainable approach.

Hi,
I am sorry, I have been guilty of ignoring your post. Though the intention was always to look into the code and assist but as time passed, I just kept missing it.

The problem you have mentioned is result of how Activity Plus works.

1. When an activity is deleted, we delete all the media inside that activity.

The real problem is Activity plus does not store any data about who uploaded a file. It uses activity id as the owner object to determine actions for embedded media.

This is a problematic approach but we did not design this. We forked this plugin(when It was abandoned by WPMU Dev) to keep supporting the existing user base. Our plugin(MediaPress) handles this kind of situation a lot better as the media ownership information is available.

Now, the question is:- Is it insecure. Probably not out of the box as users won’t be able to copy paste markup into the activity, so can not claim ownership over other’s media.

But when you use a plugin like re-share, it can copy the content of the original post and which the current ownership check, It fails to detect the real owner.

I am sorry but I do not see any solution unless the media is stored in wp attachment. But that will not happen as this is a plugin in long term maintenance and should not be used on new sites in favour of BuddyPress Attachment plugin.

I had a look at the report plugin and I could not find a way to skip certain activity types. So, I will suggest moving to BP Attachment or MediaPress(temporarily as we are currently not sure about MediaPress’s future with BP Attachment).
