I am thinking about wordpress.com and how many users they might be running. If it's in the thousands than good.

It is in the multi-millions.

There are a bunch of new params. If you do not explicitly set the “display_comments=threaded” parameter in bp_has_activities then the comments will not be loaded.

Could you submit a ticket? Thanks.

$group_id = BP_Groups_Group::group_exists($group_slug)

Not technically named for what you want to do, but it does the job. I will add a better named function for this.

I’d like to get a page up for BuddyPress consultants. Perhaps I will start a thread and see if we can get at least a few people posting in there who offer BuddyPress consultancy work. That way there’s at least a list that can be used for the page once it’s up.

The problems are all related to this bug:

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

You can do that in 1.2 with activity comments and permalinks.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

I’m working on some sort of @username notation that will email notify that user. That should fix the concern.

I think having others post on your profile stream is a bad idea. I dislike the way Facebook does that. If I go to your profile I want to see your activity, not others asking you questions and junking it up. I don’t mind seeing comments in reply to threads you have started though.

Please email me localization files:

I will bundle them with a new point release.

I’m not entirely sure how to handle the removal of the wire yet. For now it remains, but with no support in the theme.

There are a few options:

1. Remove it completely and provide it as a separate plugin.

2. Deprecate it somehow and allow people to load it if they need.

3. Leave it as it is but turn it off by default.

The best advice for creating anything on the web is to start small and iterate often.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

The blank activation page problem should now be fixed.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

Can you open a ticket for this so we can discuss there? Thanks.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

Add this to your wp-config.php file (before the “stop editing” line):

define( 'BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE', true );

Status updates have drastically changed in 1.2, you might be best to wait. Check out http://testbp.org/

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

Very clean, looks nice. Bonus points for running trunk.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

It won’t be in 1.2, sorry to disappoint. I would recommend using a plugin for now. Too many changes are happening with activity streams at this point, and I feel that the picture/album/gallery support will be based around those changes.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

Some work needs to be done on the UI for group forums, I’m considering ways to include a “New Topic” button. On a side note – how did you post this forum topic? You had to first visit a sub forum and then post. It is the same, visit a group, then post.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

Yes this was entirely built upon the group extension API. It’s quite powerful, I definitely urge plugin developers to take a good look at it. You can build some great new features for groups.

@Porscheheritage: remove all the twitter accounts from the group, save, then re-add them, save. The icon missing is my fault, another update needed.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

That’s the one, if you turn that to private then it will stop showing in the stream.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

You could make the blog private?

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

Turns out I uploaded an older version without a bunch of final changes. I’m just adding 1.0.1 to the repo, should be available for update soon.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

Huh, that’s interesting, it should detect if a tweet already exists and skip it. Let me check I didn’t break something last minute.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

Also – make sure you are marking the users as spam not deleting them. This will block the username/email from logging in and/or signing up again.
