@peterverkooijen – I guess it’s possible to make sure display/real names are unique, but you still run into the issue of someone having the same name. The email address is unique; you’re right.

@rossagrant – It should look like this:

@DJPaul – I amended my previous post. Please take a look:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-usernames-only/forum/topic/bp-username-only-plugin-announcements/?topic_page=2&num=15&_wpnonce=5c669939b8#post-55603

@clivoo – The problem with using display names with the @mentions system is display names can be duplicated; people can have the same name (eg. John Smith). Usernames are unique.

@hnla – Sorry I forgot to write that the sql query in the previous post refers to bp-blogs.php.

@rossagrant – uncomment line 61 in bp-usernames-only.php. If you uncomment this, Welcome Pack will use the member’s display name. I might get rid of this filter, because I just uncommented it and the members directory still appears to show the usernames. It’s probably because another filter I’m using is already taking care of this. Please let […]

@nuprn1 – $current_site exists in WPMU 2.9.2. Not sure why $current_site is not doing anything in the bp_blogs_record_existing_blogs() function.

@hnla – See if the blog has a user attached to it. If it doesn’t, assign a user to the blog as an admin.

If you’re like me, and did not do a DB backup because you thought the upgrade would be smooth sailing (d’oh! thankfully this was only on a test install!), do the following: 1. Revert the $blog_ids variable in the bp_blogs_record_existing_blogs() function in bp-blogs.php back to this: $blog_ids = $wpdb->get_col( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT blog_id FROM…[Read more]

Old blog comment links will not work… what about new blog comments?

@peterverkooijen – There are no conspiracy theories involved. If you have a solution, post it. I’ll make sure it doesn’t get deleted. — @eborg9 – the concept is quite simple. A username is something you login with, the “Name” field as mentioned here shows your real name in all places (except @mentions). The signup process is similar to […]

@dre1080, @eborg9

If you view the members directory, you’ll view people with display names:

I can’t duplicate what you guys are experiencing.

Not true! Take a look at testbp.org and on bp.org. Every name in the activity stream is using the display name. eg. https://buddypress.org/community/members/DJPaul/ – Take a look at Paul’s activity stream. What name is displayed in the activity stream? In fact, some people wanted it the other way around (using usernames instead of display names)! […]

A default install will allow users to enter their “Name”.
eg. http://testbp.org/accounts/

It’s supposed to show your “Name” across the site by default… excluding the @mention names, where in particular are you seeing usernames ?

@jesperpopma

Your avatar URLs appear to be missing the leading “http:”. I think I remember reading about this bug before.

You can temporarily fix this by defining your BP_CUSTOM_URL in wp-config.php to:
define( 'BP_AVATAR_URL', 'http://nijmegeneet.nl/club/wp-content/uploads' );

See if that works.

@ruffrazor @twob @erich73 @snark @3sixty Here’s how to set the “Forum” tab as the default in groups: I took Boone’s former code and tweaked it with a little URI trickery! Requires no core hacks and complicated function duplication 😉 Paste the following in /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php http://pastebin.com/j3n17CVe (you’ll probably need to…[Read more]

I can confirm that blogs are missing after upgrading to BP 1.2.4 on a WPMU 2.9.2 install.

@rossagrant – You shouldn’t need the replacement files anymore!
BP 1.2.4 included my patches 😉 Undo any changes you may have done to the core in BP 1.2.4.

Just tested and I do see avatars in the members directory.

@xberserker – yup, when you upload an avatar, it outputs two files, that’s why I check if the file count is less than two. If it’s less than two, you’ll know that an avatar has just been uploaded. You’re right that the /avatars/USER_ID/ folder gets created on the first upload.
