@boonebgorges (I miss the ‘b’ out as well).
I wrote to fannation, and they deleted the offending account straightaway (good on them).
Can we delete the profiles on here for the already identified users?

checking updates / descriptions with multiple links would help a little – anyone have an automated tool for this?
-
We might run that by @boonegorges and see how hard it might be to whip up a simple filter or the like to catch more than 2 or three links and clean them out. the updates and improvements should be implemented any day now. If no provision already made for this issue it might be politely suggested.

Thanks for the heads up on this.
@hnla It should be pretty straightforward to filter for a certain number of links within a profile and then reject it. I’ll add that to the Ninja list.

I thought it wouldn’t be too hard and WP already has this ability floating aound to trap qnt of links.
btw could you remove that ‘b’ as it catches me out each time 🙂
-
An extra ‘e’ in the surname would help as well 🙂

Just be easier if he could get a new name altogether :p

Good to see a fast and positive response from the site.
Only the admin can delete profiles, not sure if Boone has this ability now with the increased access granted?

It’s not groups, it’s direct in their profiles – visit any of those users, and you’ll see their profile description is just stuffed with spam links. There were also some who were stuffing status updates with spam links.

Spam problem – a more worrying development
Guys, you might want to check whether your name is being ‘hijacked’ by the BuddyPress spammers.
I found an account that had been setup using my name on a site called fannation.com
When I looked at the blog posts on fannation.com (that had been posted in my name), I…[Read more]

Hmm don’t like the sound of that at all. Is this directly related to group creation here? Off to have a look around!

Marked them all as spammers. We’re working on a solution to this so try to sit tight. No fun for anyone. :/

Roger Coathup posted on the forum topic Possible major problem – friend connections disappearing, unable to accept new requests 🙁 in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 1 month ago
To make it easier to provide help: please provide more information –
Which version of WP / BP?
Does the problem exist if you switch to the default BP theme?
Have you tried de-activating other plugins and testing whether one of them is interfering with the behaviour of BP? -
Roger Coathup posted on the forum topic Combine Activity stream with WordPress posts in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 1 month ago
The BuddyPress activity loop fetches blog post activity, so yes – you can get the latest blog posts from within the activity loop.

@mercime We should start a suggestion list of ‘helpful’ messages 🙂

@rogercoathup – that suggestion was inspired 🙂
to start off:
1. APPLAUSE PLEASE
2. Single and Available.
3. Please, no serious questions.
4. Accepting projects with minimum budgets of $10,000 up. 10% discount for cash payments 🙂Have a good week.

Have a look at the recent sitewide posts widget – the code in there should give you the pointers you need.
You could also look at the functions in bp-blogs-templatetags.php
Or, I suspect best is simply to filter the activity stream for blog posts, and use the ids embedded in there:…[Read more]

@ellaj – de nada. That’s some nice theming you’ve got going on there. The site has a few dead links at the bottom, I assume that’s just in the beta.

p.s. it’s the grouping fields as @hnla points out, that is one of the tricky points.
In old language terms: we needs structs, and then arrays of structs

@hnla – what’s the ‘beef’ with Javascript for the field creation? I assume Boone is just meaning the UI to insert the form fields, etc.

@pattiearnold – you’ve got a ‘hundred’ different questions in here – you will need to ask them all as separate threads In general, to achieve this level of sophistication – You’ll need to create your own customised BuddyPress theme.

@boonebgorges, @mercime, @hnla – the Documentation tab needs to be much more prominent, to save us having to keep typing this URL (and the child theme one) in forum threads

I concur with most of what @paulhastings0 has to say (I was thinking the same thing just a few days ago). If only for the safety and security of the project, it needs more than one active core committer. Additionally, I’d like to see: – Someone giving clear lead & making decisions on features / future […]
