So I started to let a few people join my site and I asked them to post content.
I watched their process and realised most people want to begin blogs, photos, videos from their member page. Yes its good to go to the community section but this is how a good majority of my people was thinking. So instead of fighting it I figured go with it. So I decided to add a Link Bar in their member profiles so they could get to the add Blogs, add Discussion, add Videos pages and then BAM!!!! I hit the wall.
Adding Photos is a totally different process from a developer point of view. Every other section you have to input info into the website, but Photo's are uploaded via a form.
Ok so, I tried to easily copy the code from the Photos page that gives you the little "+" sign and BAM!! IT does not work.
So right now I can get the pic files to be seleected from my hardrive, but there is some element that is making the form go once a file is selected.
The Question
I know you might say NO but, can I have the code that will allow me to Upload a photo via the wording + Add Photo. Or at least by the "+" icon?

I think that would be a great addition. As Facebook has been doing this for years now. We still cant @ our friends at least in a comment section. This too would be a simple way to increase activity.
I was just reminded today that we still cant make albums and slideshows of our favorite photos. A little sad to me but Im not going to knit pick as NING is working.
Hi there!
Just to make sure, as I have noticed something that looks like the new suggestion :-), as far as I have understood you wish to have the ability to put the slideshow of the photos that you have liked to the profile page?
The reason why I'm asking is because you can create the slideshow, from the categories of photos, the only problem is that your members would be able to add that category as well and the control of the slideshow won't be fully in your hands (unless you will be able to monitor all the photos in slideshow 24/7).
Best regards,
Ning team.
I dont remember how a album was handled on 2.0 but it was a front end element with an embed. Not a backend element only the admin can do. I say this because what if a blogger wanted to put a slideshow of pictures to and event in his blog. He has to upload one by one to the blog and still upload the pics to the regular pic section. I wish he could maybe use Tags to create slide shows.. Cause yes to control a Categorie all the time would never work as your site grew. But a tag might.
And wait, I like how you ignored the main topic of this Post. Can I have an answer for that? Some sort of code would help..
Hi there!
Well, I have two ideas how the photos could be added to the profile page, if I have some spare time in teh future I'll research both of them in order to see whether it's possible to integrate that button in some way.

OK thanks a lot
Hi there!
The code is fine, I suppose you have copied it with formatting and that is why it's not working properly.
Here is the version to copy:
<script>
if (typeof(x$) != 'undefined') {x$(".status-container").append('<div align="center" style="margin-top:15px;"><a class="button button-primary" href="/photos" target="_blank" title="Add Photo">Add Photo</a> <a class="button button-primary" href="/profiles/blog/blogpost/new" target="_blank" title="Add Blog Post">Add Blog Post</a> <a class="button button-primary" href="/forum/topics/discussion/new" target="_blank" title="Add Forum Discussion">Add Forum Discussion</a></div>');
}
</script>
Add video button can be added definitely, I do suppose it's not presented in code as the video module has been added a year ago and the tip could be created earlier. Regarding the photos, the only way for this moment is to direct people to the phto page since the photo could be added only there.
Regarding reaction system, if you are willing to have something that would be attached to the comments, posts, photos etc. then it won't be possible to add it without the server since it's necessary to store somewhere the number of reactions, and the id of the item to which it should be attached. However, if you wish to attach reactions only one per page (so there would be only one reaction module on the opened page) in such case that could be accomplished with the custom code even now without any server parts.
A bit confused about the location, do you mean the button which creates the status with your location and posts it to the status bar?

Hi there!
There was similar suggestion registered in teh system already so I have added your vote for it, so the management would see that it becoming popular and will be making their decision based on this when they would be planing the work of the dev team for the future quarters.
Feelings plugin by its name seems to be the same this as the reaction system as both of them are showing the emotions of people regarding the items posted, unless I get you wrong.
Regarding the @mentions, I have added your vote for that feature already and as I remember I have informed you in private message about it already.
About the background of the buttons, you may found the answer here.
Best wishes,
Ning Team.
Hi there!
I have changed John's code a bit:
/* COLOURS FOR THE FEATURE EDIT AND ADD BUTTONS AND MAKE THEM ROUND*/
.linkbar.linkbar-iconic .button.button-iconic { border:none;border-color:transparent;border-radius:50px;font-size:1em;color:white }
.linkbar.linkbar-iconic .button.button-iconic .icon{ vertical-align:middle;height:auto; }
.linkbar.linkbar-iconic .button.button-iconic { background-image: url("Link_to_background"); background-size: cover;}
/*Hover colour for all of them*/
.linkbar.linkbar-iconic .button.button-iconic:hover,.linkbar.linkbar-iconic #photoupload .button.button-iconic:hover{background-image: url("Link_to_background_on_hover");color:white}
Link_to_background - should be replaced with the link to the image of the background you wish.
Link_to_background_on_hover - same as Link_to_background but it should be the link to the other file that would be placed on the background of the element once you have hover mouth cursor over it.
P.S. background-size: cover - not sure about this property as it depends a bit of the image you are going to use as the background.
Best wishes,
Ning Team.
Hi there!
The code I have provided shouldn't change the background of the buttons you have presented on the screenshot, it changes the background only for the buttons that are mentioned in John's tip since your original question has been posted there I thought you are talking only about those buttons.
Fro the buttons from the screenshot the code would be following:
.button.button-primary { background-image: url("Link_to_background"); background-size: cover;}
.button.button-primary:hover { background-image: url("Link_to_background_on_hover"); background-size: cover;}
Please refer to the previous comment to see what should be inserted instead of the Link_to_background and Link_to_background_on_hover.
Best regards,
Ning Team.
Thanks John. I figured that would have to be my only choice for right now.
