Would this work on BuddyPress? Specilfically BuddyBoss Theme?

Hi, @myblackf150.

Would this work on BuddyPress?

FIFU has no features for BuddyPress for now, but we’re open to discuss that.

Specilfically BuddyBoss Theme?

Is it a free theme? Where can I download that?

I have been trying to find a plugin that creates a thumbnail before the title of a forum post instead of the poster’s profile icon.

Could you send me a screenshot or a link to your forum post?

Hello Marcel,

Wow amazing turnaround!

FIFU has no features for BuddyPress for now, but we’re open to discuss that.

That would be SO great.
Seems to be untapped.
That enhanced “buddyboss platform” with bbpress seems restrictive BUT they are willing to let their devs for a price do mods. There are 2 3rd party companies that make plugins but neither have this feature and they both make it pretty much necessary to pay an annual subscription fee for their plugins.
ANd one does have access to the function.php and pages themselves.
Help!

Is it a free theme? Where can I download that?

No but they provide a fully online working demo.

Could you send me a screenshot or a link to your forum post?

Notice the profile icons before each entry?
I’d prefer that to be the thumbnail for each video. instead at least for this forum of many.
Currently When you click the link, the YouTube image is prominent and under it the option for comments and like buttons.

Thank you in advance!

Thanks for the answers, @myblackf150.

The main problem here is that FIFU uses the same data structure than regular WordPress featured images and the images you want to change aren’t featured images, right?

So I have to say that for now an integration wouldn’t be possible. I believe it would be easier to develop a new plugin to do what you want.

Thanks again Marcel.

I’m not a PHP coder, but am an intermediate Windows Dev.
Basically, what I’d hope for, is almost like a Reddit page table.
Rows on a table with columns left to right, Thumbnail, Title, maybe a tag, username , date. Each row open to a detail page for a YouTube, comments, etc. Sounds simple enough but even all the YouTube plugins for some reason make the layout all into tiles, galleries or cards. I really don’t understand why no one just makes a simple table that gives users the options ( perhaps ) to select the columns , date uploaded, tag, username, etc , all, some. Apparently format works for Reddit, why wouldn’t that be one to give an option to do?
It would be great.

Oh, to answer your question, they would be featured images if you app takes the thumbnails for the YouTube videos automatically. The thumbnails aren’t added on to the current page template, but I would think perhaps a template can be created to do just that?

Hi, @myblackf150.

I’ve installed bbPress here. I’m able to insert the FIFU fields on forum, topic and reply. It will be available in the next version =)

Also there are many free themes (like this) that are able to show a featured image for forum, topic and reply. Let me know if you find some that you like.

About featured videos, they are available in FIFU Premium, but I’m not allowed to talk about paid components, including BuddyBoss, in this forum. If you want to talk about it, please contact FIFU Premium support.

Hello Marcel that would fantastic.
I love it, you’ll be breaking ground. Would this include having forum post like the image below having the You-tube link show it’s thumbnail?
This is basically what I would want to get my forum pages for videos to be like.

Very simply like Reddit , it would be great.
May I still speak be able to speak about “paid components” via FIFU Premium with you? Yo are the man who I think can make this rock.

BTW, don’t I have to be a Premium Member to speak with FIFU Premium support?
IT would make sense for me to get premium when they offer the solution.

Thanks again Marcel!

Hi, @myblackf150.

Would this include having forum post like the image below having the You-tube link show it’s thumbnail?

This is how FIFU works. It stores the URL in the database and when the theme tries to show a featured image, FIFU sends the URL. So FIFU provides ONLY the image URL. Where and how the images is displayed is a theme responsibility.

FIFU, as a plugin, has a very limited control over the layout. However, I will check if bbPress has a filter that would allow me to insert the featured image (or video, video thumbnail etc) exactly where you want.

You don’t need to be a premium member to ask about FIFU paid features. Just contact FIFU Premium support and you and me will talk about that.
