Hello,

I found a bug in Buddypress 1.2.8.

In a forum, like this
http://www.site.com/groups/%5Bgroup-name%5D/forum/topic/%5Bthe-topic%5D

When the wordpress username of the topic’s poster contains a “.”, the username’s link appears like this :
http://www.site.com/members/user.name

But in buddypress, the members link must contain “-” and not “.”. The link must be :
http://www.site.com/members/user-name

This is the hack to fix this problem :
in plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-templatetags.php

In the function :
function bp_get_the_topic_post_poster_link() {

Just replace
return apply_filters( ‘bp_the_topic_post_poster_link’, bp_core_get_user_domain( $topic_template->post->poster_id, $topic_template->post->poster_nicename, $topic_template->post->poster_login ) );

With (str_replace added) :
return apply_filters( ‘bp_the_topic_post_poster_link’, bp_core_get_user_domain( $topic_template->post->poster_id, str_replace(‘.’,’-‘,$topic_template->post->poster_nicename), $topic_template->post->poster_login ) );

Can you send this bug report to the developers of Buddypress ?

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ is the place for bug reports; we might miss them here.

I went over user name issues like this, and I believe it should be fixed in our upcoming 1.3 release. Would you report this as a bug please and then we can test it in the dev version, to confirm if it’s still an issue or if it’s fixed? Thanks.
