There have been at least two nights of discussion in the WordPress and WordPress MU IRC dev channels about this. Tonight will be a third night of discussion, I’m sure, in the WordPress meeting.
As the naming of WordPress features isn’t something that is to do with BuddyPress directly, I kindly suggest you visit the WP or WPMU forums — or IRC — and contribute to existing threads so that your comments will be seen by more people.
Andy also mentioned that 1.2 will have backwards compatibility built in and 1.1 plugins should not break. At the moment they are not working because those functions are not yet in the trunk!
Unless I’ve missed a post somewhere, what Andy was saying that at some point (maybe not for 1.2) all the deprecated theme and plugin code will be moved to a new (seperate) plugin. This will keep the BP core lean and mean, and allow anyone who wishes to use a plugin/theme that requires the deprecated features just by adding this extra plugin.
Could you make a trac ticket on https://trac.buddypress.org/ for this issue? Not sure if WPMU/BP bug or to do with the plugin, but if you create the ticket so I get a reminder, I’ll give it a test.
The standard support questions which mercime linked to help us help you. Despite the fact that FB Connect is not BuddyPress and as such is a third-party plugin, there are plenty of existing threads in these forums about issues with FB Connect
TLDR version: Introduce types of groups. e.g. “User group” type – it has no forum, no “Home” page, just members listing and activity stream. This group added to Activity Stream filters where relevant.
Would have to filter out custom group type “User group” out of the /groups/directory page & member profile group page.
These custom group types could be set so they are publicly visible/private to those members involved/or hidden (visible to the creator only). As per current Group privacy settings.
Could add e.g. “Friends”, “Colleagues” and “Fans” as default, empty groups for each user on user registration. Obviously revise theme to make the “Friends” page (“Connections”, maybe) look like the Friends page rather than a regular Group.
Different users might create “User group” types with the same name but with different meaning (“Fans” could be interpreted several ways for example). This is no problem as such categorisation is defined — and belongs to — the user who does it. Might need some semantic group kind/type identifier in the code to allow FOAF/SIOC RDF profiles to be able to assigned to these “User groups”.
When composing a private message, is the javascript being loaded? Look in the page source and copy-and-paste the javascript URL in your browser and see if it loads up a text file.
Do the user accounts come from the regular user registration process (i.e. not Facebook Connect) and can you please remind me where in the wp-admin you can set user moderation on new accounts?
Blog posts are added to the SWA when a blog post is made. You’d have to write some code to loop through a range of old blog posts and call bp_blogs_record_post() manually
I haven’t tried but am hoping we’ll be able to use the video embeds as introduced in WP 2.9 in the Activity Stream. I’ll test this today on latest trunks and find out
Because the user account has no friends. I believe this is the same error as per https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1511 (though caused in a different way).
