BuddyPress

Will the email subscription service work when the new integration of BBpress and BP 1.5 become available?

Thanks!

bbPress 2.0 has some support for activity posting in BuddyPress, but those activity items are not associated with groups, and BPGES only deals with group activity. So, sadly, no.

@boonebgorges Thanks for the info Boone!

Just noticed that BBPress 2.0 has an email subscription built into it from the looks of things.

When it comes to deactivating BP Group Email Subscription from my install, if I want to clean up the DB, could you let me know exactly which tables the plugin creates, so that I can drop them?

Cheers,

Ross

BPGES doesn’t create any tables. It stores some data in _bp_groups_groupmeta, with the key ass_subscribed_users, as well as some usermeta. Probably not worth cleaning out, unless you have serious performance issues.

@boonebgorges Ahh, okay cool. I’ve only been using it a few weeks, so I guess it’s fine to leave that stuff there.

Out of interest though, just because I’m learning about SQL commands. If I did want to erase info like this, would it just be a matter of running an SQL command?

I like to try to keep the DB streamlined, so if it’s easy, i guess I may as well do it.

Ross

The command would be something along the lines of

DELETE FROM wp_bp_groups_groupmeta WHERE meta_key = 'ass_subscribed_users';

though I must say that I do not recommend doing this, as there is no undo!

@boonebgorges Cool.

I guess I’ll hang fire until I completely stop using the plugin.

If that is the correct SQL though, it would be safe to do, once I no longer use it, wouldn’t it?

Think I’ve found it Boone.

ass_digest_items in usermeta

ass_subscribed_users in bp_groups_groupmeta

I don’t have loads of entries in my database, so it should be easy to delete what’s been created.

When you delete the plugin anyway, i take it the digest emails stop being sent?

It’s not a cron job or anything that needs cancelling manually?

The plugin does not use a real cron job. it’s wp’s “pseudo-cron”, and it will stop a soon as the plugin is disabled.
