This is a great plugin, but there is a problem that I need to figure out how to fix…
By default, external member blog posts are imported either when someone visits that member’s profile page, or every 60 minutes. Except, the 60-minute part isn’t working. I’m sure there could be some conflicts with other plugins, but, from the discussion over at bp-tricks, it seems like a lot of us are having this problem.
Maybe there is a way to tweak the code, or even a chron job to run.
This isn’t going to be a simple upgrade…not just for us BP users. Reading through the list of changes, there are a lot of potential plugin conflicts. Probably best a wait a couple of weeks.
It looks like I now need to “apply a filter to “bp_get_send_private_message_link” and override it so it doesn’t use bp_core_get_username().” Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks for the link, but I’m confused a bit. My current code already has that patch in it, changing the “public” to “private” looks to be the only switch. I’m guessing this was changed in a more recent BP release?
And, you said:
“With the patch, you’d still need to apply a filter to “bp_get_send_private_message_link” and override it so it doesn’t use bp_core_get_username().
The same problem occurs with the bp_get_send_public_message_link() function – aka the “Mention this user” link.”
It sounds like this is the step I need to take. How exactly do I apply this filter?
Batcache isn’t supposed to impact logged-in users, so it seemed like a natural fit for BP.
Paul, you think this is a BP issue as opposed to just tweaking a caching setting?
I know that there are people using BP with memcached and W3Total cache…are any of you guys having trouble with this? (W3TC doesn’t worth with multi-db’s or I’d be using it)
I mean that if I click the Main Activity Tab it I go to the activity page with “no filter” as the default and a blank Within field. If I select Within: 750Km, it shows me all activity of members (and I assume groups) within 750km. Brilliant.
But, if I try and filter further and just look for blog posts within 750km, it breaks and shows me ALL blog posts. The “Within” filter seems to only work if there is no other filter selected.
Yeah…I was looking at that plugin and a couple of others out there that just don’t seem baked enough.
My plan is to have visitors to my site enter a location and see activity from all members and groups near it as a default stream. I don’t need a bunch of fancy extras, just a proximity filter for members’ activities.
I’d be happy to contribute or help somehow if you could get a new BP GEO to do this.
Would it be possible to search for members within a distance from someplace besides just your location? For example, show everyone within 10 miles of a given city?
