The second one is not a duplicate entry, the groups are different.

Help out then. Report bugs, fix bugs, submit patches, program new features on the roadmap, write documentation, answer questions on the forums.

Sitting there twiddling your thumbs wondering when things are going to be done doesn’t help the project.

Deactivate BuddyPress first.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

Does that mean I have to keep my mouth shut about the crappy patched together membership management mess that will now become the foundation of my project?

Of course not, that wasn’t my point. The registration functionality in WPMU is quite restrictive and cumbersome right now. That will improve though. If you’re concerned about this, then don’t consider BuddyPress as we’re only on version 1.0.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

There is no easy fix for ignorance. Clients will generally believe what they want to believe. I guess it’s everyone’s job here to build great sites using WP/BP… so get going!

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

Also – something to consider. If WordPress was completely object-oriented, fully MVC, and the most beautifully designed code imaginable – 90% of developers would not be able to understand it.

When trying to create a popular open source application you have to strike a fine balance with regards to entry level. You don’t want to make it so beautifully abstract and complex that only the level 70 geeks can develop on it.

Your application needs those people that program in their spare time for fun, but don’t necessary know what instantiation, encapsulation and polymorphism are. Those people are the most important if you want any sort of active developer community.

Report a bug please.

I should also mention I was at this presentation, and BuddyPress was not mentioned for the slide in question. They repeated numerous times that BuddyPress was an exception and was actually a source of inspiration for their project.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

You can take MVC however you like. If you are going to take it in a black and white sense then BuddyPress is not MVC. However, it follows a loose MVC style:

1. bp-[component]-classes.php contains all of the database access classes [ Modal ]

2. /bp-themes/[themename]/ contains all of the template files [ View ]

3. bp-[component].php contains all of the business functions [ Controller ]

BuddyPress is certainly not programmed top-down. In fact, if you try and program top-down with BuddyPress you will quickly become frustrated.

If you are concerned with the way WordPress is programmed, then I would asses the value in being concerned. Look at the number of themes, look at the number of plugins, look at the number of users. Look at the companies that use WordPress. At what point does worrying about the coding style become moot?

At the end of the day MVC is just another coding methodology, it is not “the right way” to program. The right way to program is subjective and very much based on your program’s function, audience and ideologies.

Sorted.

You must use:

bp_get_the_site_group_name()

as without the ‘get’ part, it will echo and not return the value.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

If those users have not logged in since you installed BP, they will not show.

Renaming this thread, since this was not a BuddyPress bug.

get_usermeta() will cache multiple calls on the same page, so you should be fine.

Roadmap is here: https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/ lets start a new thread please.

I’m almost positive this is a bug in FF3.5 and it’s understanding of shorthad “font” declarations.

This is fixed in the latest default themes in 1.0.2.

This is what you need to do:

Find the “html {” declaration in the CSS files, and look for the “font:” part. Delete it and replace it with this:

font-size: 11px;

font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;

Then find the “body {” declaration, and replace the “font” part with:

font-size: 12px;

Do the same in both your WordPress and BuddyPress theme.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

Users crop when they activate – not when they signup.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

Use this function sparingly as it is slow.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

Problem fixed in 1.0.2, closing.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

testbp.org always runs the latest development copy. You’ll see features in 1.1 appear there before they appear in the final releases of BuddyPress. It provides a place to test new things as they are developed.
