Group Email Sub should be fine.

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Nope, the new version is here:

It’s looking very nice

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

No problem. Apologies for any misunderstanding

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

I have no problem with it at all. I was just in work at the time and hence didn’t want to browse the site on my work PC/work internet. That’s all.

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

It was just a tongue-in-cheek comment – I was just a bit surprised when the site had a woman in her underwear on the front page

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

I’d love to check the site out more to help but it kind of falls under the NSFW classification

What do you have set in http://www.hotforwords.com/wp-admin/options-discussion.php ? Do you have “Email me whenever…Anyone posts a comment” checked?

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Hi there,

Apologies for missing this. You many want to post on namoo.co.uk in future as it’s more likely I’ll see things

The latest version of this plugin has actually been completely rewritten by Deryk Wenaus and he might be better able to answer your questions. If not, I’ll have a look into them once my current workload dies down a bit.

Ooh… Looks very interesting. *downloads to read through the code*

Could you not build something using the $bp action vars?

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Ah, good point. So basically page title slugs to be written to the bp action vars?

Hi there,

Sorry if I’m being slow here – coffee hasn’t kicked in – but which plugin do mean? WPML isn’t ringing any bells atm.

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

I’ve only just seen this post. I’ll get updates out for the groupwiki and notification plugins asap.

I originally tried to move to the new method a while back and ran into problems. Hopefully that was just a glitch at the time though – I was running trunk on my installs and it was around the time that the new method was first being discussed.

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

Hi everyone.

Apologies to anyone that has been waiting for fixes/responses. I have been bogged down at home and haven’t had a chance to be online much.

I have a fix in the works for the issues you are seeing. myislamicblog kindly allowed me deep access to his/her site and helped track down what was causing the problem. I will be releasing a cleaner/fixed version of the plugin next week.

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

You could use the group extension API..but it would require a small amount of php knowledge.

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

The welcome pack plugin can do this. I’m not sure if it’s been updated for 1.2 yet though.

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

I don’t particularly want to install bbpress separately. I’d quite like to extend the functionality for ‘standard’ buddypress setup.

The setup on http://help.deanjrobinson.com is good, but with various group extensions you may not want the group itself being visible to general site users. I can imagine that this will become even more of an issue now that the activty stream functionality is starting to outstrip the forum functionality – I’m finding lots of users aren’t bothering with their group forums anymore and are instead using activity stream to hold discussions.

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

I do agree with the way you are making things work/want things to work but a lot of users (myself included) find it a bit difficult to adjust to. It would be nice if there was a simple way to make certain groups be excluded from most of the display filters and/or make their forum appear to be ‘sticky’ at the top of the forum directory. I was planning on writing a plugin to this effect actually.

It would be nice to make it so the groups are hidden to everyone but site admins (or users with some kind of global forum moderation cap) so it would also be possible for these admins/mods to ban people from specific forums…

I’m getting a bit carried away with myself here. I’ll look at making a small/simple plugin first I guess.

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

You can have a look at how I’ve done it here if you like:

http://namoo.co.uk/blog/2010/02/25/blogstandard-theme-released/

It’s as simple as going to the reading settings in your admin backend and choosing the activity stream. If you then want to show your blog home too you also need to create a new page.

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

Sounds very interesting I would have no problem with you getting involved in improving it. I’ll drop you a message on namoo as it’s easier to keep track of things there (for me, at least) and we can discuss things further. I’m ultra busy tonight though, so it’ll probably be sometime over the weekend

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

@Andrea_r

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been using in the past too. It works well.

I’ve not had a chance to properly compare this new plugin with it though.

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

Further to what Xevo said, replicating the entire groups functionality is no small task. In fact, it’s more like a huge task.

Perhaps you could look at the group tagging plugin instead? And then perhaps use some child theme/plugin trickery to change the group display based on the group tag?

[@aekeron Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

Install firebug, right click on an activity item and click inspect. On the right is the css file and line number you need to look at.
