I have added the feeds idea to my list of requests. If I get a bunch of requests I will consider adding that feature.
Link avatars are already stored in a separate directory under wp-content/blogs.dir/files/link-avatars. I wonder if maybe this is not the case for single WP? I still need to do a bunch more [...]

MrMaz posted a reply on the forum topic Code Snippets: Storing plugin theme files in the plugin dir (1.2):   2 days, 3 hours ago

Here is my two cents that I added to the ticket:

Its my understanding that bp_core_load_template() was not intended for sub-templates. I believe that all of the core templates use locate_template() to load sub-templates.
I wrote my own custom locate_template method to check the plugin path instead of the template path, which does not rely on [...]

Currently there is no way to disable the avatar feature.

Anton sent me a private message that the issue above was a problem with his child theme that was breaking Links.

@hnla
Thanks for reporting that broken
tag. I am going to make sure that is fixed for the next release. I am surprised that its not causing anyone problems, weird.
The PHP 5.2 requirement is based on me developing it on 5.2. WP ships with some compatibility functions for people running older versions of PHP, but since [...]

@clintaneastwood
You only need to take those steps if you are trying to override the PHP templates. If you just want to override some styles, then you can do that in your child theme’s stylesheet.

Yes

MrMaz posted a reply on the forum topic Most effective/stable events plugin?:   1 week, 3 days ago

If you guys can agree on an existing GPL events plugin that works in WordPress I might consider extending it or forking it to work with BuddyPress. The one that David Lewis mentioned looks promising, and I would probably fork that one since it hasn’t been updated for 9 months (depending on what the author [...]

4,42,46 is not an array, that is a string of ids separated by commas. You should not be imploding the ids.
Get rid of this part of your function:
if(!empty($excludecats)){
$excludecats = implode(',',$excludecats);
}
You should read up on arrays http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php

query_posts() is expecting an array to passed to it for the arg ’category__not_in’. It looks like you are passing it a string of ids separated by commas. get_exclude_categories_loop() should be returning an array.
query_posts(array('category__not_in' => array(2,6)));
See multiple category handling here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts
This is not valid PHP:
<?php
query_posts(array('category__not_in' => array(get_exclude_categories_loop))); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
This is:
<?php
query_posts( [...]

Yes, if you create those files in your child theme, they should override the core templates that ship with with plugin.
LMK if you run into any problems, not many people seem to be customizing the templates yet.

@thekmen
You are correct, that is a bug. Thanks for the report.
You can change that manually, or check out the 0.3 branch, as I have just committed that fix…
svn co http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress-links/branches/0.3
Thanks!

@bpinspire
Probably still at least a week away from a 0.4 beta. If you want to download the development version and play with it most of the group integration is done. Please don’t post any feedback on this thread though, I don’t want any confusion between the versions.

@bpinspire
Do you see the problem with the default theme activated (no child theme)?
Before I release the next version I am going to do more testing on single WP myself. Up until this point I have been relying on feedback.

@pnju
Just override the style in your child theme.

@WPin.me
Very cool! I’m glad that people are starting to play with extending this plugin. I tried hard to provide as many hooks as possible.
If you want to avoid hacking the core template you could do something like this in your functions.php:
function my_selfserv_sexy() {
if( function_exists( 'selfserv_sexy' ) ) {

I don’t agree with the patent, but I would rather Facebook own it than a patent troll company that makes a living patenting technology for the sole purpose of suing established business that rely on the technology. Facebook has a reputation to uphold, unlike patent trolls who don’t care about their rep. Facebook [...]

@Anton
In theory you can change the slug but it needs to be tested heavily as I’m sure it doesn’t work 100% yet. This is on my list of things to do in the near future.
