BuddyPress.org

yea ive noticed, the majority of plugins ive found have been abandoned and no longer work with the updates, and tbh even the ones from the buddypress team have been too, the bp albums plugin hasnt been updated in ages

Hey @mercime I’m getting an error regarding the buddy header, it reads

“Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in your code”

I posted the pastebin of the code:

Cool so a more deep integration into the wordpress core… Speaking of This, i’m just wondering why buddypress doesn’t use user_metadata and have a proprietary xprofile table.

Just to add @mercime I am a real novice to WordPress and BuddyPress so sorry if i dont completely understand!!

Thanks for the reply,

I am using a theme called “Salutation”

I have not created a child theme (Should I do this??) and I did not need to add the template pack as its already set up for BuddyPress.

Should I still copy this file over ??

Cheers

Hey Roger! Thank you for responding. So, the email link comes from Buddypress and it is supposed to link back to the conversation. For example, this is one http://shenow.org/activity/p/2332/

But, when it is clicked on, it takes you to: http://shenow.org/featured-women/member-directory/members-2/k8e0/activity/2332

So, somewhere behind the scenes it is getting redirected.

The theme is the clear line theme, and it has been working for over a year…..this seems to be a new issue that arose after I was trying to make new pages. I can’t figure out what happened… or how to put it back……or how to change the redirection.

I’d love your input …. Thank you!

@mercime Hey sorry it keeps takign me so long to get back to you. Here is the link to the content-page.php: http://pastebin.com/LJuZbWBG

@modemlooper,

Thanks for the feedback. Given that restriction, the outcome makes sense. I assume the “hardcoding” decision was made some time ago and there are valid reasons for taking that approach. Do you know if it is still valid today? Is the evolution of a “group” within a community not of value? Its name, and all that’s tagged to it: its admins, its mods, its members, its events, etc over time?

An example would be Steve Jobs. Let’s say that, in my community, he had created a group called Apple Computer Inc (way back in the day). Then, to reflect, the evolution of the company and its commensurate change in name, he wants to change the name of his group to Apple Inc. BuddyPress allows the change in name but the slug still reflects the old company vision. The ancestry/lineage should be handled automatically. I’ll add it to my wish list.

There really isn’t a similar issue with “member” since the slug is the username.

Thanks again, for responding.

sorry

@mercime

Thanks for your reply. I added the code above to my stylesheet but it didn’t change anything.

About 3)

quick and dirty, maybe could been added as feature when user registers and has made comments before

‘UPDATE wp_database.wp_comments SET user_id=’User_ID_our_member_got_after_succesfull_registration’ WHERE comment_author_email=”his/her_old@used_before_mail.com”;’

edit: Is it normal looking at bp_blogs_record_comment() function for a chance to import “properly”?
