if the theme was designed for budddypress then i would ask the theme developer for help if it wasn’t then something is wrong because that link should be showing up already.
@synaptic the development cycle for buddypress has been greatly accelerated in the recent revisions. the whole idea behind that is to foster more features and better functionality at a faster pace. nobody is trying to claim that buddypress is perfect. to the contrary we are saying that if you want to help, please do.
@sooskriszta one of the primary goals of the last few releases has been to make them more frequent and to stick to the schedule come hell or high-water. the idea is that more frequent updates will facilitate more innovation and features. the template pack as i understand it, was too big a task to make the deadline for 1.9 given the manpower at hand. i think any contribution of labor would help make sure it makes the cut for version 2.
idk whnever i have accidentally marked someone as a spammer i just un-mark using wangguard they will then show up as forced green status maybe that doesn’t unmark them in buddypress’s eyes. perhaps @jconti knows more.
yeah that article was obviously written by someone who does not actually participate (or lurk for that matter) in the weekly meetings.
Fact is jjj actually put a ton of work into this release of budypress. The part he was working on i don’t even understand because, like yourself i am not a developer. but i do understand it enough to know its the kind of thing very few people may appreciate but makes those few (devs) lives much easier. i also know it took a lot of his hours to make it happen. 10up just today or yesterday announced that they devoting 100% of @helen ‘s time to wordpress so i don’t think it’s accurate to suggest that jjj won’t still be able to spend a good chunk of his time on buddypress.
like any open source project it’s success or failure is defined by the people who volunteer their time and efforts to build and promote it, so if you feel like you’d like to do that, a good place to start might be the regular weekly irc meetings or simply start following the BPdev blog which can be found here:
yeah it was a recent decision to disable most of the components by default. the logic goes a little something like this; turning on all the components by default which the way it used to be was great for discovering features but has the downside of over complicating the user experience for new communities. It is always better to ad new features then to take them away. So by default only two features turned on are Profiles and Activity Streams. I tried to make the argument that Site Tracking was essentially the same thing as Activity Streams and only applies to Multisite (in which case i would argue it is almost always the most essential feature) but that was not consensus so the feature is not turned on by default.
yes, if you don’t see that option and your never went through it before then what’s happened, i believe is that you did not edit the config file correctly.
i dont personally know how to make the pages show up on sub sites but i do understand it’s possible with certain modifications. some (all?) of the buddypress widgets can be placed on on sub site sidebars out of the box.
