Hi again @sbrajesh Is it possible to share that code, please? Thank you.

Hi @sbrajesh
Please, share code for deregistering mid size image. Thanks

Hi @sbrajesh

1. First Time Error with Activity Upload: Now uploading follows the Wall folder creation immediately. So this problem is resolved.

2. Uploading photos from group activity needs to add some text. You still can not upload a photo alone. And an empty warning message appears. So this problem is not yet resolved.

Some thoughts: the way “Uploading from activity” works is not convenient. And the whole thing is somehow ugly. I think that the buttons should be integrated in the whats-new box (as rtmedia does).

PS Meanwhile I tested replacing the whats-new box with tinymce and I think I will follow that direction. I will use Mediapress only for the Galleries. So I mark this topic as resolved.

Thanks again

Hi @bbwpsupport
Some days ago I installed the 1.2.1 version on a test site and this version resolves the problem.
Here is a screenshot

Now I made a new installation and the version is 1.2.0 And of course the problem is back. I really don’t understand what happened….. Is there a reason you returned to the 1.2.0 version ?

Thanks in advance

Hi @zaheer01
The plugin is not really GDPR-compliant. I think that GDPR-compliance may take some time to implement. In the meantime, people try your plugin and deactivate it. I saw 30 installs yesterday and now I see 20.

The number one priority is Tabs. Your plugin is unusable with 3 tabs on the navbar.
Between the second and the third tab of your plugin I see Mediapress tab (since I have installed this plugin). On smartphones each tab adds a row making the menu list more long. There is a problem to fix.

I ‘ll come back when I have more time.

Well, I found that the error occurs because of the Setting “Default status for Gallery/Media” in General>Privacy Settings. This setting has the explanation “It will be used when we are not allowed to get the status from user”

I had set it to “Friends Only” and this was causing the problem. I changed it and now it is OK. However, I don’t understand how a default setting supposed to be applied to users is applied to groups as well.

————————————-
The PS 1 mention above still persists.

GDPR law is about personal data, data that can identify a person directly or indirectly. Events are not personal data by default, unless they contain personal information. It’s difficult to control all events, unless they have publishing status “Pending”.

Optionally, you can add a checkbox as a privacy layer, many developers do it with their plugins, but in most cases it is useless, since site admins include permission for storage on the privacy page of the site. When a user registers to a site, they check a checkbox with a link to that page, so, in my opinion, it’s ok.

But users should have the right (according to GDPR) to control all their personal information. This, practically, means that they must have an overview of their personal data so that they can decide what to leave and what to erase (if they want to).

The Export Data feature gives more control, because in the case of a legal conflict between a site admin and a user, a site admin cannot manipulate data that… have been exported.

The problem with exporting is that in some cases the amount of data is enormous.
It must be the case of BP Event Manager because an event is like a post.

If you want to make BP Event Manager GDPR-compliant I suggest to add a user profile page with user’s events and the possibility to erase them in all cases. That may be tricky if a user has published an event in a group and later the group manager has banned them from the group. Banned user’s events must be auto-deleted or they could be able to delete their events from the profile.

The exporting feature is not mandatory but strongly recommended. I suggest not to include all the content, but its main features (title with link, creator, date, location… and attendees) so that, in case of conflict, it could be confirmed by other users (e.g. attendees) that such an event has been published.

Make BP Event Manager GDPR-compliant

European Union Users are concerned by the GDPR law about personal data privacy. More here

Simply put, they must be able to erase and export their data. If you care about EU users you can use the new WP feature (since 4.9.6 version) to implement this.

Please, tell if you are going to implement this feature. If it’s “Yes, but later”, no problem, I can put a notice that Events Export is planned. If it’s No, I have to look for another plugin as I live in France.

Thank you @zaheer01
It is improved now, but I see three tabs, that occupy much space on the navbar and may be annoying for someone who doesn’t use Events. As I suggested, in my first post, I think it is better to make them subnavs.

Feedback:
–Event Visibility. In public groups, a non-member when clicking on Events they see a notice “Only Group Members Can Access Events” but if they click on Event Calendar, they can see Events. In my opinion, Events must have the group’s visibility level,that is visible everywhere for public groups, and hidden outside the group (/events/ page, activity streams, widgets, search…) for private and hidden groups.

-The creation form forces to complete non required fields which may be an annoying bug in some cases, for example, you have a membership site and you want to hide image uploading option for free members for saving space or you may find the Featured Image of your theme ugly (I removed it with TwentySeventeen).

Tests with complementary plugins I use:

-Search. With BP Global Search, it works.
-Share. With Shariff, it works.
-Like. With wp ulike, it works.
-Stats. With Post Views Counter, it works.
-Report. It doesn’t work with BP Moderation, but there is an example file in the plugin for developers who want to add support for their plugins. The equityengage branch is the most updated.

Thank you for your responsiveness and your kind words!

Some more feedback:

6. Give the possibility to choose which day the Week starts. Sunday is not convenient for all countries. And even in countries that prefer Sunday, a group creator who organizes events on week-ends may choose Monday because a two-day week-end event will display as broken on the Calendar, if the Week starts on Sunday.

If the site has users from different countries (expecially if it is multilingual) I think that the group creator should choose the week start day (not the site admin).

7. CDNs. As for jsdelivr.net, I think that it would be good to include the validation file in the plugin to enhance the sense of privacy. This is good in some cases, e.g.
-communities with concerns about privacy (scientists or businesspeople collaborating on projects)
-sites that make Privacy a strategic argument. That is they sell more than services, they “sell Privacy” as well (vip clubs…)

As for bootstrap, it slows my site 780ms, tested on https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ so I removed the line temporarily.
I think it would be better to serve icons from a folder in the plugin.

8. Allow Group creator to deactivate Events (if they don’t need it) and decide who can publish events (group users, group mods).

9. Insert Event in the Activity Stream (only for Public groups)

10. When clicking on an event to go to its single page, there must be a link to return back.

11 Make Attendees display automatically on the Event Single page or give an option to activate display (without using shortcode). This is not important, just for convenience.

12. Add Google Maps or Openstreet feature for event location.

13. Maybe add a page on BP User Profile with events they created/participate.
This is good if the group creator is an Event Organizer. It also allows to see in what events our friends participate and maybe attend those events, since we normally trust friends’ choices.

14. Maybe add a separate text area in the creation form, so that group creators can insert Paypal button code (for charging or donating).

I think that BP Event Manager has an enormous potential!

Yeah, everything is ok now. Thank you very much!

PS I’ll open another topic soon with suggestions for improvement.

Thank you @zaheer01 for your quick response.

How important is the use of jsdelivr.net for your plugin ?

I have two kinds of problems:
1. This cdn uses many other cdns that are not obliged to comply with the European Union GDPR law about Personal Data Privacy.
2. It is impossible to unload your plugin from pages where I don’t need it. I deactivated your plugin on some pages using Plugin Organizer and the result is that the top menubar of my site is disappeared on these pages. On the frontpage bar there is a login form, so users cannot login.

I don’t see how the use of jsdelivr.net is related to the menubar. What does jsdelivr.net do exactly ?

It is difficult to me to support all this headache only for the use of one plugin. Is there a way to deactivate jsdelivr.net ?

Ok, it was jsdelivr.net that you use in your plugin and it was blocked by the add-on noscript of my firefox. I set it to “trusted” and now your plugin works. I use twenty plugins and only your plugin uses a cdn, so I didn’t pay attention to the javascript when I installed it.

However, I have to see its privacy policy, when I have more time, to know if this cdn is GDPR-compliant.

Hi @bbwpsupport
Thanks for your quick response. Here are two screenshots:
drop-down autocomplete

resutls page

And as @etatus wrote there is a problem with groups and activities as well.

@etatus Thank you. I added the missing templates from the 119 version and everything works now.

Hi Andrea,
Yes, I use bps-form-default. So it’s normal and I will mark this topic as resolved.

To minimize this effect, I put the widget at the end of the other widgets on the sidebar. Thank you for your suggestions. I’ll leave a positive review.
