BuddyPress Sticker is a simple plugin that adds the ability for site members to add stickers – emoticons to there activity updates.
Installation is simply a case of installing and activating the plugin, no further configuration is required. If you want to add extra stickers you would copy your icons into the wp-content/plugins/buddypress-sticker/images/sticons directory.
Following installation a small circular smiley image is displayed in the activity update entry box, clicking on this reveals a large collection of possible stickers to use.
I think this plugin adds fum to any site where activity updates form a large part of member communications. The ability to load it up with your own custom stickers makes it very flexible for sites wishing to give a unique feature to the site. I would like to see stickers appear in other places on the site, for example in the site forums.
I give this plugin 9 out of 10, it’s simple and adds a fun feature to any site.
I've been setting up and managing BuddyPress social networks for a few years. I moved from Ning and other platforms and have come to BuddyPress looking to make sites with similar features to them.
BuddyPress Follow allows members of a BuddyPress social network to follow each other, it places follow buttons on each members profile and in the members page and adds extra tab's in each members profile page, one showing who is following you and the other showing who you are following.
BP Profile Shortcodes Extra maintains the features introduced in the original plugin, it provides shortcodes to display the username, display name, profile url, avatar photo etc. but in addition it provides the ability to display the users cover image and also a collection of cover, avatar and @username that allows a profile header to be created on any page in your site. You can either specify the member to be displayed or the shortcodes will display details of the user that is viewing the page.
