BuddyPress.org

If you have doubts about how the plugin handles different pages, I encourage you to take a look at the source yourself.

I will continue to work on improving the plugin, both in adding new features and […]

Hi all,

I’ve posted a short write-up on adding breadcrumbs to your group pages. It’s pretty straightforward – as you all have already discovered, there’s no way around a child theme. But there still seems to […]

This seems like something you could cobble together without trying to send params to the group creation process, which is very awkward.

Top level: set toplevel groups to “Nobody” in the admin […]

lol. What a revolutionary idea! 🙂

Page routing does need to run on every BuddyPress page (it hooks bp_current_action), but it only runs on the first call, and quits ASAP if the page isn’t a groups page.

I’ll keep working on it, but I’m not sure how much can ultimately be done about this.

Computing the intended group for any request is a database-heavy process, especially when the groups are deeply-nested. […]

The template that loads just the group tree (hiding the flat list) is templates/tree/index.php

I don’t run a live demo, but you may be able to find a good site posted in a thread here. I can point you to […]

Hey Shaun,

Development version is available at: https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bp-group-hierarchy.zip

Glad to here there aren’t any table issues! Let me know if you notice an improvement.

I’ve refactored a bunch of the loading and posted a new development version. It appears stable, but I can’t tell whether it’s any faster. You’re welcome to give it a shot, and let me know if you notice any changes!

A new release won’t be out for a week or more; it’s undergoing major changes since support for BP 1.2 was dropped.

If you want to grab the development version, the new function is called […]

@shaunmacrae – that’s crazy! These are the first reports I’ve had of big slowdowns, but it’s obviously a big concern.

Do you happen to have a LOT of groups? Also, can you check out your groups table and […]

I gave P3 a shot, and all I got was an Apache crash… Can you provide details from your P3 run, along with more info on your setup?

Sorry, @snomo – there isn’t a way to do that right now. There isn’t currently a taxonomy for BP groups, and this plugin doesn’t create one.

Keep an eye on this ticket for updates on taxonomy support: […]

bp_group_hierarchy_fixup_permalink is not intended to be called directly – you should be able to get the same effect by calling bp_get_group_permalink, which it filters.

If you’re getting a white screen, […]

@MutualDesigns – if you’re using BP 1.5 and are willing to try the development version, you should notice a reduction in processing steps, and possibly processing time. Let me know if you get a chance and whether […]

@tomraff – are you still using BP 1.2.x? The bp_get_page_title function was deprecated with BP 1.5.

I’ll try changing the part of Group Hierarchy that checks for the deprecated bp_page_title filter to be a […]

It’s hard to say without more details of your install, or preferably examples of the queries. While some additional queries are normal (it is checking for parent groups and such), that sounds way overboard.

The JavaScript load was reduced significantly in the most recent release. Loading the tree certainly won’t be instantaneous, but it may be faster.

I think I see what you mean. This plugin doesn’t call any BuddyPress files.

If you haven’t already tried this, you can also put the template files ( the whole tree folder) into your theme folder, rather […]

I don’t know what this means: “In any of your .php files, so you have code in it that calls for anything directly from the buddypress plugin?” Can you elaborate?

Obviously this plugin hooks into BuddyPress […]

/tree folder should be parallel to /groups and the others. The template files aren’t calling any other BuddyPress templates.
