I agree… events should be in the core. Maybe some day.

I think I’ll create a ticket as an ‘enhancement’ suggestion… that activity feed comments made on blog posts and forum posts go to both the activity feed / permalink “view” page AND the original “canonical” version of the conversation (said blog or forum post). Seems very confusing as it works now.

David Lewis posted on the forum topic Forum Reply Disconnected in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 5 months ago

@rich! @ etiviti Seems like a good solution to have the reply show up in both places (i.e. so activity stream comments to a forum posting go to the permalink page but also to the original thread). I looked at your test group however and didn’t find any info. Could you perhaps post some code? Or […]

@3sixty: Yes… it already exists… but it’s confusing, unintuitive and inconsistent. Users don’t understand the difference between updates and forum postings in the activity stream. They don’t understand the difference between replying in the activity stream and replying in the thread. Any why should they? Reply means reply. Period. The way it…[Read more]

Will this be updated to run on regular wordpress (or wordpress 3.0 without network enabled)

A top level directory page (as for forums and members) would make this plugin perfect!!!

Peter Anselmo replied 14 years, 5 months ago

A solid idea. However – I feel it would be more appropriate if the documents were a standalone component, rather than a group component. Right now, everything is tied to groups, so if you clicked on a documents top-level menu, you would still need to drill down to a groups level first. Having group-independent docs would be different but…[Read more]
David Lewis replied 14 years, 5 months ago

No… it would work exactly how the forums work now. You would get a list of documents all documents and there would be a column stating which group the document comes from and you could filter / sort to show documents by most recently added… or sorted by group… etc. SImple. It’s still group documents… but with a directory page… you can…[Read more]
David Lewis replied 14 years, 5 months ago

To clarify… I have no need or desire for a groups independent documents. I like group documents. I’d just like to have a directory page overview to make is much easier to browse them.
Peter Anselmo replied 14 years, 5 months ago

Hmmmm, Yes, I see how it could work. I’ll keep that idea floating around.
Peter Anselmo replied 14 years, 4 months ago

FYI, I’m liking this idea more the more I think about it. It’s also been suggested by multiple people at this point, a good omen for it’s inclusion.

Will this be released to work without WPMU or without having to put 3.0 in “Network” mode?

David Lewis posted an update in the group Buddypress Auto Group Join: 14 years, 5 months ago

Question… when I activate this and a couple thousand people are added to a group… will it send out a flood of email notifications to everyone? That happened when I used the Group Admin plugin and it greatly annoyed everyone.

David Lewis posted on the forum topic WordPress 3.0 compatibility? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 6 months ago

Well the tickets for 1.3 are only 17% done and according to trac 1.2.5 is still a month away. So I’m just basing it on that. I’m not complaining either. Just saying… it looks like WP3 and BP1.3 are not going to “sync up” at all as far as release dates go.

David Lewis posted on the forum topic WordPress 3.0 compatibility? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 6 months ago

Well… I’m running WP3.0 beta and BP1.2.4 on a test site and have seen no issues whatsoever. But the official mention of “WordPress 3.0 compatibility” in the roadmap for BuddyPress 1.3 gives me pause. Given the pace of development of the two systems… there could be a very long time gap between WP3.0 and BP1.3. […]

David Lewis started the forum topic WordPress 3.0 compatibility? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 6 months ago

I see that one of the items on the roadmap for BuddyPress 1.3 is WordPress 3.0 compatibility. But looking in trac BuddyPress 1.3 is 17% complete while WordPress 3.0 is 99% complete. Clearly WordPress 3.0 is going to be out before BuddyPress 1.3. Is it safe to assume than BuddyPress 1.2.x will be compatible with […]

David Lewis posted on the forum topic Confused about where things get posted in the group Requests & Feedback: 14 years, 6 months ago

Thanks. I hope they don’t get rid of the forums. I think conversations would get lost if they were just organized by time and thrown into the stream with everything else. Altho’ I guess you can view the single page version from the stream. So maybe it would work. But I’d hate to lose the […]

Apparently it’s a known bug.

David Lewis posted on the forum topic Time stamp message pages incorrect in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 6 months ago

Ahh… thanks @r-a-y. I see that this is a known issue. Good to know! Thx.

David Lewis posted on the forum topic Time stamp message pages incorrect in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 6 months ago

@rich! This is with BP 1.2.4.1 and WP 3.0 beta-2 r14896. My server time is set correctly in WHM and it is also set correctly (and identically) in the WordPress options. Not sure where else I could check? PHP config?

So I’ve finally launched my BuddyPress site and now that it’s a living thing that people are using I’ve noticed something that seems confusing and clunky to me… it’s the “reply” button in activity streams. If you see a forum post in the stream and then click “reply”… your reply only goes into the stream… […]
