I’ve further pinned down the whats-new bug. It can be more accurately described thus:

“You cannot successfully post two or more sequential updates from the whats-new form”

You can post an update, a reply, an update, a reply etc. no problem, but sequential updates require up to 15 clicks on the submit button.

Yes to an option with admin settings, which sets the limit in php, with a js counter. Not everyone is going to want this, and it’s critical that the site dev has full control over character limit, not to mention that different spoken languages can have quite different character counts for similar semantics. @modemlooper – I’ve [...]

@nahummadrid @justbishop @modemlooper modemlooper – you’re totally right, the script should be called from the header or an external js. Placing it in post-form.php only calls it for the whats-new form, and placing it in entry.php calls it repeatedly for every comment reply, leading to multiple instances. I adapted your reset script suggestion for…[Read more]

One slight niggle. How to reset the counter upon submit?

@nahummadrid – nice solution. It’s concise, and responsive (VERY important). Every other solution I’ve tested slows down the text input to a crawl, which isn’t acceptable for a public site and will really annoy anyone who types with all their fingers. I haven’t encountered the issue to which you alluded re. users breaking the limit with [...]

@mahype – that’s good news! This plugin is a winner waiting to happen. I do commercial wp seo, so I just copied the bp title tag code and replaced and extended it in functions.php, then added tag and custom field support for the wp post types. I’m still playing with the meta for the bp components. [...]

@cezar – I didn’t, for the precise reason you mentioned.

@valuser – it broke the search on those directories.

Changing it for certain other plugins that make use of search (Buddyvents, Global Forums) has been successful, and I did that by straightforward hacking those plugins.

Brilliant, thanks for posting this.

@ds123 – I’ve got blog post Liking on mine (ie. in single.php). It was there out of the box, and is still there. Initially installed about 4 months ago I think. The only edit I’ve made to it is to swap bp_before_blog_single_post for bp_after_blog_single_post in Line 841. I also commented out the css in Line 880 [...]

@elgunvo – how is it coming along?

There’s another issue with dates and Buddypress profiles – perhaps it’s related? When an Admin performs an edit from the front end of the site on a user’s profile that contains a date field, that date field is automatically populated with the corresponding value from the Admin’s profile ie. I can’t edit a user’s profile [...]

Title tags don’t work for Buddypress components, and the default shortags are outputting some strange stuff. Is further development planned?
