@mercime – Unless we come up with some good AI, things like that might be unavoidable 🙂 In any case, I’m still only going to break on spaces, I’ll just be using character counts to determine minimum excerpt length.

Awesome, glad to hear that this sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the feedback!

I also have found myself torn about using pages for BP directories. In the end, though, I think it’s a compromise that works out for the better in the short- to medium-run, and does not have awful long-term consequences. In my view, it is a gross overstatement to say that this move ‘ruins’ BP. However, […]

@bgrun80 I’ve added you as an Editor on the codex. (The script that is supposed to handle this setup automatically has been acting buggy lately.) When you load a URL that matches a pattern that BP is looking for (eg /members/boonebgorges), BP first finds the corresponding data in the database (in this example, the profile data […]

Instances of do_action() don’t actually do anything. They are just hooks for other plugins or themes to use. So, while I agree that there should be a great deal more documentation throughout the BP core, documentation for the do_action calls in bp-defaultisn’t really possible because of the simple fact that most of them are not […]

Check your stylesheet. bp-default (and child themes by extension) zero out list styles.

Hear, hear!

Happy holidays, everyone!

I’m not able to reproduce the problem on my installations of 1.2.7. bp_get_the_profile_field_value() is returning the correct UNIX timestamp for dates.

Are you running other BP-related plugins? Have you tried reproducing the problem with those plugins deactivated?

@dlabbe – Check out how BP itself validates its own fields. See groups_action_create_group() in bp-groups.php, in particular the stuff after
if ( 'group-details' == $bp->groups->current_create_step ) {

Did you remember to import the stylesheet of the parent theme in your child theme’s style.css?

See “Inheriting CSS” on https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

We’re shooting for a late-January release of BP 1.3, so you don’t have long to wait.

If you want to ensure that it gets out faster, check out a copy of the trunk and grab a ticket 🙂 trac.buddypress.org

I added the first idea to my future feature list for Invite Anyone. We’ll see when I get around to it 🙂

In BP 1.3, bp_has_groups() will takes an ‘include’ parameter. It’s already in the trunk.

There isn’t really any support built into BP for custom pay types, but supporting them is no different from supporting other kinds of custom content in BP. See the BuddyPress Skeleton Component for some guidance on integrating custom content into BP navigation, etc. In the next couple weeks I might whip up a new plugin […]

The preferred method is to hook your nav setup function to the ‘bp_setup_nav’ hook. If you are unable to do so in your functions.php, it’s probably because functions.php and other theme files are loaded too late. Put your code in wp-content/bp-custom.php (create it if it doesn’t exist) and try that. A standalone plugin should work […]

The plugin works fine on all my installations of the latest WordPress. If your users are not able to leave a star rating, it is likely that you are having a Javascript conflict. Are you using a custom theme? Try reverting to the BuddyPress Default theme to see if the stars work that way. If […]

Andy’s work at Automattic has taken him away from BP work for the most part. He is still around and paying attention, but is not really active in BP development anymore. (He remains, of course, the beloved founding developer of the project, and is more than welcome to jump back in whenever he feels like […]
