Yeah, it’s definitely not something I see happening before CTPs are mapped out. It’s a little too late in the game to try something that big for 1.3, and it would be a much easier transition to wait for CPTs. Just figured I would throw it into the mix.
If there are no objections, I’d like to work on moving all xprofile data into the user_meta table so we can make use of the WP_User_Query class. For many reasons, this would be for 1.4+.
BP requires this, because otherwise it would get complicated, both from a code and from a usability standpoint. While you can send an email without a subject, it’s not considered best practice.
The code won’t allow you to send a message without a subject, so I would go with r-a-y’s suggestion.
So, just a few hours ago, Boone just added a ticket with patch (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3205) to make this very easy. If any of you could go test this, then add any feedback, that would be great. The patch is for 1.3, but you should be able to make it work on 1.2.x.
This is most likely happening because you’re using it inside the members loop. The members loop contains a long list of users, but then you’re limiting the ones displayed using your code. You can try filtering the $sql statement with ‘bp_core_get_paged_users_sql’.
Also, definitely stick with `bp_get_profile_field_data` if you decide to go that route. `bp_get_profile_field_data` is currently a wrapper for `xprofile_get_field_data`, and BP will be moving towards prefixing all function with ‘bp_’ if it hasn’t already been done. `bp_get_profile_field_data` will be more future proof.
To fix the front page, go to your WP dashboard Settings > Reading, and set the front page to activity stream, or anything else you’d like the front page to be. As far as _http://partofpeople.dk/geo, You’ll most likely need to set up a page through WP to get that to work.
@adrianmaggio and @agck I don’t know to what you’re referring, but I see go to Dashboard > Settings > Reading, and set the “Front page displays” setting to “A static page (select below)”, then choose “Activity Stream” from the “Front Page” drop-down menu. I even tried out a fresh 3.1.1 install. This is how you set the page.
@adrianmaggio When BP 1.3 is released, you’ll be able to easily set the front page using the method I’ve laid out above.
As @uloga said, it’s well within your legal rights (expect for custom js, css, and images if they have a separate license). However, just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
You can easily change the default avatar in your dashboard under BuddyPress > General Settings. The reason it doesn’t use the WordPress avatar setting is because BuddyPress is designed to be it’s own site with it’s own settings. If you want to disable gravatar support completely you can set no_grav to true in your theme’s bp_core_fetch_avatar function calls. This will be made even easier when 1.3 is released.
This functionality is currently being developed by @wpmuguru, but I don’t know that there has been any timeline published as far as a plugin release or it being included in core.
You could use wp_cron to fire a function that checks a group’s creation date, it if it meets your 30 day requirement, you would then call the groups_delete_group() function or groups_edit_group_settings() to change the status.
