One of the issues with BuddyPress is that notifications are not “Live”, in other words, in order to see if you have any notifications, you need to refresh your web page, this detracts from the dynamism of the site. Eonet Live Notifications fixes this by introducing a live notification in the form of a pop-up that shows up in the bottom right corner of the page, informing you that you have a new notification and providing a click link to view that item.
Installation is pretty straightforward, once you Install and Activate the plugin you will go to Dashboard>>Eonet>>Live Notifications to see the setup screen. In here you can set the refresh time (important for managing site performance), the pop-up location on the page and which types of notifications are supported. It should work for all notification types as standard.
Eonet have produced a handy video that explains Eonet Live Notifications:
Using Eonet Live notifications was simple and straightforward, I’m pleased Neonet have introduced a configurable audio notification sound and that the time the notification is shown onscreen can be configured. I am very happy with this enhancement to the default notification mechanism. I give this plugin 9 out of 10.
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.
