I’ll look at fixing them this weekend.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Don’t forget to vote “works” again, now a new version is out.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Will probably use http://polldaddy.com

It’s not up to WordPress to deal with this, it’s up to plugin developers to write their plugins so they don’t die if BuddyPress is not present. I’ve put the code all over the codex for this:

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Very nice, get it on the WP plugin repo if you can.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Versions please 1.2.1? Branch? Trunk?

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Or via jQuery:

j('div.activity ul li').each( function(i) {

if ( i % 2 != 1 )

j(this).addClass('alt');

});

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

All in the function bp_get_the_body_class()

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Ah yes, I forgot about the ordering.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Great plugin Boone! I found one issue though –

There’s no pagination, so I could only see the first page of groups. You can just add this:

<div class="tablenav">

<div class="tablenav-pages">



<span class="displaying-num" id="group-dir-count">

<?php bp_groups_pagination_count() ?>

</span>



<span class="page-numbers" id="group-dir-pag">

<?php bp_groups_pagination_links() ?>

</span>



</div>

</div>

You will need to move the <?php if( bp_has_groups( $args ) ) : ?> above that though and get it outside of the table generation.

I also thought it would be nice to add a column at the start for the group avatar?

<td scope="row" style="text-align: center; padding: 5px 10px">

<a href="admin.php?page=bp-group-management/bp-group-management-bp-functions.php&action=edit&id=<?php bp_group_id() ?>" class="edit"><?php bp_group_avatar( 'width=35&height=35' ); ?></a>

</td>

You’d probably want to move the inline CSS out of there.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Yes, WordPress MU will do what you need without BuddyPress at all.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

The beat way would probably be to write a new component and turn off the friends component.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

The problems are fixed in 1.2. @putnum01 – if you’re messages are not even coming up then it sounds like a different problem to me.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

These issues are fixed in 1.2.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Good call Windhamdavid.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

I’ve already answered this question.

If you have a spammer with admin access on a blog, they can add new users to that blog. They are then new users in the system since WPMU shares a global users table. So essentially once a spammer has a blog they can get others in.

This is simply the way WPMU works, and if I try and change that, people shout and scream at me. The reality is, if you want to use WordPress MU and BuddyPress along with it, you are going to have to manage this somehow. Otherwise, just use standard WordPress since it doesn’t have these issues.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

zageek: Yes, exactly. It’s just terminology. A group is like a forum, but with a whole lot more power.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

You must identify the spam blogs and remove them. Once a spammer has admin access they can add new users to that blog. Those users can then create new blogs.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

I don’t think this is something to worry about. It’s not a security problem as far as I can tell. You can do this with any website, it’s simply just adding an extra GET param to a URL.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

This is the sort of thing I’m talking about: http://help.deanjrobinson.com/

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

This is a core BP problem, so it’s not the theme. This will be fixed for 1.2.2. It only occurs on sub blogs, not the root blog.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Also — you DO NOT need to join a group to post in a public group forum. If you post, you join automatically.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

I find it hard to conceive of why a social networking site would NOT have a single place of communication, e.g. for tech support, newcomers, general discussion.

Create groups for “Tech Support”, “Newcomers”, “General Discussion”. I consistently fail to understand how people don’t get this. I’m in the process of converting BuddyPress.org to this model, perhaps then people will get it.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

If you can write a patch I’ll happily change this. Don’t expect us to know this though, you need to tell us in Trac.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Using 1.2.1? If not then this is the problem.
