There seems to be a lot of talk about BP 1.2.4. in conjunction with WP 3.0 and that some believe that 1.2.4 was intended to work with WP 3.0 yet I see no mention of that fact when reading the roadmap for versions. BP 1.3 is the only one that mentions WP 3.0. BP 1.2.4.1 […]

🙂 To elaborate on that, Apache directives have conditions which govern where they can be set from the directive ‘AllowOveride’ is one that says what may be overridden or reset from outside the main config file , in other words it is the directive that allows certain other actions to be run from the .htaccess […]

@mercime yes I was aware it had been updated as I downloaded and ran it quickly, the issue is not so much that it has been updated but that it’s technically a styling variant rather than a theme and uses all of bp-default structure along with bp-default default.css and as such adopts the bp-default tabs links […]

If there a ticket for this serious usability issue? There should be.

Don’t know about any tickets but this sort of issue – an issue imho that is of a hugely serious nature, striking at the heart of the whole user experience, users == the people this is built for ! – is what I was […]

Sadly all that doesn’t leave a lot of options. The vertical menu as was seen in pre 1.2 could still be done but as far as I’m aware no one has thought to code a layout in that style. This leaves only the option of attempting a restyle yourself or perhaps badgering the author of […]

I guess the easy answer is grab a copy of the BP-Nicy theme, Otherwise it’s going to be a case of building a child theme and starting to code up a set of new styles to override defaults styles and possibly re-factoring the markup of pages, which will require a certain degree of experience with […]

Google is your friend: http://www.google.co.uk/search?rls=en&q=NPH%2BCGI Although I wouldn’t worry too much about trying to understand this as it’s getting rather technical. First stop ought to be your web host’s tech support who may well be able to clear up what’s happening quickly and definitively. Failing a resolution from your web host I would…[Read more]

I’ve had a look through buddypress/bp-blogs.php and buddypress/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-classes.php and it looks to me as though this meta data should be updating but why it isn’t is beyond my understanding so have opened a ticket on the issue:

Not sure our production site is running 1.2.2 so if it’s a bug it’s been around a while? I will test on various different test installs and versions in the morning and also check the code to see what the expected behavior is.

I think we are talking about the name one sets on a blog in the general settings, BP grabs that name and places it in it’s own table then uses that on the blog directory listings and elsewhere, however if a user changes this name in their sub blog BP doesn’t seem to pick that […]

Funny you should mention this as it occurred to me this morning or at least a user changed their blog name and questioned why the old name was still displayed on the blog directory page. I assumed that BP didn’t update this and had to go into the DB and change the string manually. What […]

You see roadmap says:

1.3

* WordPress 3.0 support

No mention that 1.2.4 can run on WP 3.0

Ah so 1.2.4 was conceived as WP 3.0 ready, be good to know could possibly do with a little more detail in the roadmaps, or maybe there is and I just haven’t paid enough attention.

It’s a case of too much work for far too small a team! that will need to be addressed as BP grows exponentially

Not sure that 1.3 is that far off is it? not sure really, but I would hesitate running WP 3.0 and BP 1.2.4 on a production server.

It would be interesting to know what adjustments need to be made to enable BP to work with WP 3.0

17? what’s your experience in frontend coding? coding stable layouts takes some skill and experience especially for dynamic apps such as WP/BP

Do you know how most freelance coders break into the business? working for free it’s how they build up their portfolio of work to show to clients.

NO I would have thought that it isn’t ever safe to assume anything! I have WP 3.0 beta 2 installed to test, haven’t yet run BP 1.2.4 on it yet to see what’s what but don’t really expect it to fully function, BP 1.3 is the version that has to be waited on for production […]

It would always get labelled spam on a forum of the type that helped people for essentially no return, on the technical forum that is my home we don’t allow posts like this. Here’s a different take on the matter why not offer one or two themes for free download, BP is starved of finished […]

To get the site back up and running rename that plugin ‘twire’ to something else to force a deactivation of it.

No there is no plugin per se for the activity stream, but I sometimes wonder why plugins are so often referred to. As such the activity stream is a loop much like the famed WP loop, in the simplest sense all one has to do is copy the code that calls that loop as is […]
