 Yeah, okay, so I'm going to start you know, thank you for all your ideas And if you have more ideas think about it and tell me at the end of the talk I will see you again. Hello everyone Hello And so I'm going to show you what is new since last body come. I am in 2015. What's new in body press and What's coming? Okay, so I'm going to do a little bit Summary of the last year with body press in the last year We had two major releases like it's body pressed to 2.3 and 2.4 and eight minor releases And I'm going to tell you like they hide, you know I'm going to highlight some of them of the major releases 2003 we have now a Mobile mobile ready interface for uploading profile pictures with drag and drop and You know these all these avatar new Functionaries was built on top of the new attachment api. So which is you would if you're not a developer You will say okay. I don't know what that means, but that means that Using the functions that are already there and we use or you know the team use for building this You can do things like this as well, you know for your own using the same You can use as an example this code for doing this for your own project and you can have your drag and drop for your other Pictures and for doing other plugins and etc. So if you're a developer or if you're learning about body press Have a look at how you know have been done this and how how being built because it's very interesting And a good example for learning how to use the attachment api And so you can do you're not you're not only now can just drug and you know drag and drop your new files for the avatars is for the profile pictures for the group pictures cover pictures and You can users can even use the camera of their laptops okay to to make a photo and to have their own avatar in the Community in the social network like in you know in a second. So it's a very cool one and it was Release last year Another thing Is the is being in 2000 in 2000. Yeah in the version 2003 we're we're checking all the version all the new features of 2.3 We released the companion still sheets for 2015 and 2014 So now in to in these things default things of war of war press You can you know you can as John show you before in the last talk or in the other one You know all the body presses better integrated on these things Okay Without touching anything. So but the fall is completely is all the all the templates are completely integrated on these things More things a star private messages. So As you know that is one of the components that is messages between users, right? And this is why is this is so important or interesting because all applications you can give to this so right now before you if you had a very big community with a lot of users and Receiving messages because you know depending the use You know that you can use the message for the private messages between users for a lot of stuff now you can Just market and to say okay, this is my favorite or I don't know of this is about dates It's a community about dating or something, you know They can just power it and you can build over that new functionalities. Okay, so that's another new thing It was improved handling of blog media in activity stream. So now all the media in the activity stream of every you of the users if being is looking better and nicer and This is something very very interesting with the new functionalities about member types And I'm very very excited about everything related with members members member types because for a lot of years being a developer I was missing that and so since Work in San Francisco in 2014 when we were talking about body press and what we wanted We made the same questions that I did to you at the beginning of this talk What would you like to see in body press that is not done yet? My answer was I need I want member types because in every project. I have been working with I Need member types, you know, I don't know a single Project, you know with body press that I didn't need different kind of members So after that, you know all the team worked Hard and great to have member types and now is Growing and developing in new features and this is one of it. So member types is specific directories is By default you can you can have just changing the URL that you can see on the top and you can you can have the Directory of all the members of one type so if you have for example teachers and students you will have a URL with the List of all the teachers and another URL with the teachers of all Students which is very very useful, you know when you're doing Depending the user they can see one or they cannot see an on the or they can see another one or tell me And it's very useful into it Great, thank you. Yeah More things about the version body press 2.3 new notification Meta add body press menus to the customizers and a lot more that you can see in the block of body press Dot or okay, so let's have a look at the version 2.4 to two point two point four three Which is the one that the the current stable one so new cool things now. We have avatar upload Yee for adding cover photos for users for groups built on top of the body press attachment Apa so again, this is another new functionality things to the attachments apa that was built and This is another example of how you know easy now is to grow with new functionality. Thank you. Thanks to the Apa So now, you know all the groups all the members of your social network They can have their own, you know cover photos on the like in Facebook or like in Lincoln, you know And it's responsive. This is how it looks in a In a night, but if I know wrong and in my mobile phone is like the same but in one column More things I love this one profile fields profile fields specific to your member types So now you have your member types you have like in the example you have your teachers you have your students on Why they have to have the same profiles when they're registering in your network because teachers maybe need to give you some information and your students other one and Before this it was hard-coded normally and you know doing You know some tricks to Just doing different registration pages for everyone. So anyway now is super easy You only need to create one You know profile fields and just to select on member types That these fields should be available for this one or for both or for everyone. So it's That was one of More for me was a very very interesting and practical feature. So Yeah, buddy press 2.4 was improved for looking great in 2016 for the things in the WordPress default things 2016 and 2013 as well and This is like the two things by default on how it looks the Buddy press pages by default the activity won by default now in in those things What else more accessible than ever? So the team have been working really hard on improvements for accessibility in Both the dashboard and the front end So that's a great step and it's being a really hard work. So I would love to say thank you for to everyone for that more things This is a very interesting thing as well so about if you if you're creating If you're creating a community depending Depending the kind of group or depending the group Maybe you wanted to have to to have those groups looking different, right? So now you have a really easy way of having different groups or you know of having your groups looking differently, you know without having to do you know Difficult stuff. So as you can see there you have the url No, sorry another url you you have the the roots of the The templates of how you know the template in your thing that you will have to create to create different Kind of groups, okay looking different, you know having different templates for each group So the thing is by default body press will look for the first one Then if it doesn't look if it doesn't find, you know Anyone with that structure any template in your thing with that is structure It will look for the next second one the third one and the last one, okay? So the thing is that you can create one template, okay with different HTML structure, you know different styles CSS, etc. And You know one for you know just Using the idea of the group and having you know different And having just different templates for each group or just for one group or or for example That one that is very interesting is the third one because it's the status So for example if you have with body press you have Private groups, hidden groups or public groups you can have the three of them looking different Just having three templates in your thing that will be from a status hidden from a status public or from a status Private. So it's very useful and it's very easy to use. More things of body press 2.4 enable rich text editing for text area profile fields and a lot more If you're interested about a lot more functionalities there were more than 100 improvements in this version. So it's been one of the most productive or you know Biggest versions you know in number of tickets if i'm not wrong in the last years of body press. But i would like to show you a little bit of some things of body press 2.5 which is now in better if i'm not wrong. And you can become a better tester if you want to try you only have to go to bodypress.org And in the last post you will get the link to download the beta version. So you can install the beta version in your site to test it and to become a better tester which you know i'm Not will be very happy and all the team will be very happy to have more beta testers and to report the Bags that you find if you find them. And so it will be released in March 2nd of this year so just In a little bit and as johns showed you before you were going to have you know in the new version you will see the New body press email api which is if you have been working with body press in the last years that's Something that you know in the past we used to use welcome pack there was a plug in but it's true that after The years now the new version of the mail api is like super easy to use, super fast and super you know you can customize it as his show and so it's very, very, very cool to try. So what else so the thing is that you can customize every single email for your users since the from the dashboard. That's the idea. And you can use it already. Just install 2.5 if you don't want to use the beta you can just wait until March 6th and you can use the and you can download it from the repository. More things in 2.5 tracking comments about the boss type. So if you're using for example applying of events, i don't know events manager for example because i'm using this example because it has integration with body press. So if you're using events manager and your users with that line your users can create their own events from the front end. They can publish them on public or you know just for a group for example and people just can say i'm going i'm not going you know the event have information etc. So the thing is that tracking comments about the post that you could say okay i'm going to do tracking i'm going to track all the comments. All the comments about the events okay and users can use an information to check that information and about only specific events if they want to follow that information. So you can define that to an existing post type or during the post type registration if you're creating your own post types. So if there is an article in body press.Or in the codex with the functions that you will have to add to your functions php in case you're creating your own post type and you want to add these tracking comments. Okay more things so 2.5 comes with 2012 improvements you know for the all the templates integration with the theme of so body press looks great in 2012. Emoji support in activity updates private messages and group descriptions. Which your users will be happy with it and this is something that is very interesting because i working working for clients i have i have this. Is several times and it was like before body press used to when it was showing you for example a list of when i was when you were checking the profile of a user. And for example you have provide fields for for example i don't know male for male okay gender so you could you could click on the. Of the selected value that of that user for example is a male and you could click and to see the directories of all the males okay which is very useful but depending the the project is not so so much and you even don't want to show that to the users. So now there is an option okay and you can enable or disable that search. Those words phrases to be linked to member directory searches okay. And there is a lot of tons of under the head performance and improvements and. But it but it prices faster than ever and some future releases that i'm very excited about it so group types a b a. To add profile files profile for groups and to make grow and to make. The groups even more how to say you know to be able to create more stuff with the component of groups okay. So the team is working about that but it was raised a b a so john was talking a lot about that and if you're interested about that. Don't forget that every wednesday at twenty two utc. There is a deaf chat about the rest a b a so if you're interested and you only have to say hello and to read with their you know what's going on. And to offer help or whatever go there to the body presses like channel. New invitations api you i'm excited about this one so with these new features that you know we still don't know when it will be released but you know. If i'm not wrong paul jives is working on this or it was okay okay. Okay so the thing is that with the new invitations api would be a functionality for the users to be able to send invitations and stuff to other users to externals if i'm. Etc and it can be very very interesting and with a lot of. You know having an api for this kind of functionality it can be very versatile so you know. Use your imagination and this is a dream of i think of all the team and especially for me to and is have and is to have body press relationship body presses relationship table and api. So if you know or if you know that the plugin post to post the plane post to post is applying. To create relationships between content with which is post custom post times and users so you can create relationships. With your con you can create relationships with your content in general and with your users these connections can be like for example user user. So imagine if we get connections like this easily or we can create them easily you could get for example you could create for example. Social networks where users can say okay this member is my sister and that member is my teacher or that member is my. Colleague or etc and the same with some kind of custom types and depending you know so that's a dream for me but in the meanwhile. If you're interested about it i have worked when i had this. Need for projects well i have used so far it's been the plugin post to post and is very very interesting. Very useful it has a wikipedia full of documentation and it has an api and is a. Very cool planning so the team if i'm not wrong it was paul jibs the one that the one that was investigating researching a little bit about that plan to be able to see if it could be possible to integrate some of the. You know at least the main or the basic functionalities of that planning to body press to be able to create these relationships so. That's it and if you contribute to body press. You know you will become a hero body press hero so i would encourage you all of you to contribute a little bit to body press and to join you know to join the family everybody's welcome. So thank you to all the contributors of body press please. And thank you. Any questions. Tell me. I think he can answer you better that question. Yeah. Come here. Hi. Hi live stream. So no no don't sit down. So the question for the live stream is the ability for groups specifically for their com for their fields. Not exactly. I don't not exactly the the the two things that are in our added support for custom post types in the activity stream. So if you have a bunch of custom post types registered then we'll do a little bit better looking into what the labels are for the post types up to an including like custom body press specific strings for what that ends up looking like in the activity stream. We do two things we we I don't know if we really do much of it anymore we we store like a plain English copy in the database but we also compile like with hooks and filters like a real time. Display of some of that. So that's part of that one. The other part is we don't have yeah nothing nothing with comments not wordpress comments private messages has stars and then we've talked about some other additions for that. Not with comments for the record there is no custom comment type api in wordpress you have to roll your own. If someone wants to build that that would be fun. Any more questions then but what is your what is your the question. Yeah but I don't know if they're from John do you know. I don't know if they're. No so thank you very much.
