John James Jacoby @johnjamesjacoby ?
active 9 hours, 5 minutes agoBuddyPress lead developer, bbPress plugin lead developer, and general overall freelance WordPress ninja. Generally available for hire for large WordPress, BuddyPress, and bbPress related projects. You can find me evangelizing BuddyPress at WordCamps wordwide, #buddypress-dev or #bbpress on freenode on IRC, or up to my neck in trac tickets, pet projects, and general WordPress, BuddyPress, and bbPress related development stuff. People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

John James Jacoby posted on the forum topic the_post_thumbnail & the activity stream in the group How-To and Troubleshooting:
Good idea. It would probably need to write the thumbnail to the activity stream directly (same as it does now) but would include a thumbnail if there is one.

Done. Slug needs to be changed eventually too, since it’s generated from the group name.

But alas, you should be patting @johnjamesjacoby on the back for cleaning up my code and adding it to BP core

Roger Coathup posted on the forum topic the_post_thumbnail & the activity stream in the group How-To and Troubleshooting:
@johnjamesjacoby – What are you thoughts on changing: bp_blogs_record_activity( ) to make use of the featured image if one has been set for the post, rather than trawling the content and thumbnailing images?

Roger Coathup posted on the forum topic Use Forums without Groups? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting:
@hitler – they are coming – I guess partly as a result of end users tearing their hair out – group forums has some interesting technical / logical reasoning behind it, but the user interface experience was far from perfect. Check out @johnjamesjacoby post on the imminent new approach: http://buddypress.org/2010/08/buddypress-and-bbpress-the-future/ Note: now the presentation / interface features [...]

@rogercoathup Happy to talk privately about why I opted to block the person in question from buddypress.org. Don’t want to air the dirty laundry but rest assured it takes quite a bit to get to that point. @paulhastings0 Very little ‘risk’ but you’re on the right track. IMO one of the harder things about running such a [...]

John James Jacoby posted on the forum topic Would love to see someone take over the BuddyPress Badge Plugin and update it. in the group Third Party Components & Plugins:
Will need to ping Andy about the plugin group not syncing. I’ve seen that happen before but am not sure exactly what causes it.

John James Jacoby posted on the forum topic activity feed no longer showing commented on in the group How-To and Troubleshooting:
@metakappa The activity component needs to be matched up with the Activity Streams standard asap, and we’ll hopefully be able to do that in 1.3. @intimez If you block search engines, your site is set to private, and blog posts and comments won’t appear in the stream. Make sure the option to make your blog public is [...]

Yeah… It’s no fun. We need to get bp.org fixed up asap.
In reply to - Roger Coathup posted an update: @johnjamesjacoby @hnla @pgibbs – the site is ”inundated” with spammers today – other than messaging John is there any way we can help deal with them quicker / better? · View -

Don’t thank me, thank @r-a-y!
Bulk member moderation is on the roadmap somewhere, at least it used to be and would be very useful.

Marked them all as spammers. We’re working on a solution to this so try to sit tight. No fun for anyone. :/
In reply to - Roger Coathup posted an update: @johnjamesjacoby, @djpaul, @hnla Spam problem – a more worrying development Guys, you might want to check whether your name is being ’hijacked’ by the BuddyPress spammers.

Conversion will be handled gracefully. There will be a few options presented to either keep your existing setup if it works for you, or convert to a newer version of bbPress if you’d like.
Of course, this is all still in the planning phase so there’s no example yet.
In reply to - Finance Train posted an update: @johnjamesjacoby I read your post about future of bbpress. What does this mean for people who are already using bbpress as a part of buddypress?
