Just found this, really excited about it….

I had two users apparently never get the activation email. (One is me, so I know it didn’t go through, but the other attempt belongs to someone I don’t know. They MIGHT have simply never opened the email.) My first attempt used a hotmail (live.com) address. The other person’s is a personal domain.

I thought I was having a problem with ALL activation emails, but when I tried a new user registration with a gmail address, it worked. I suppose I should test new user creation with some more email addresses and providers.

In any case, if you don’t have tons & tons of new users, one thing you can do while “we” figure this out is to check the Users list under the WordPress settings (from wp-admin), as even unactivated users will show up there. Then visit any problem user in buddypress by manually typing in the address for their profile page (you know, something like http://www.example.com/members/USERNAME/). Then in the admin bar, you’ll find an option along the lines of “Admin Options->Mark user as not a spammer”. That’s probably not the exact text.

@djpaul how can we add the topic title in the header in the title??

You’d have to filter the AJAX query string.

Here’s a good thread to get acquainted with it:

I’d remove the group feed function so I could create my own group feed loop.

What you’d want to do is remove the existing one by adding this to your theme’s functions.php:
remove_action( 'wp', 'groups_action_group_feed', 3 );

Then I’d basically duplicate the groups_action_group_feed() function (located in /buddypress/bp-groups.php), rename the function, throw it in my theme’s functions.php file and change the pointer of the following file:

bp-activity/feeds/bp-activity-group-feed.php

to a custom file I would also create in my theme’s directory.

Lastly, I would open up this duplicate of bp-activity-group-feed.php and modify the activity loop so it shows updates only from the group admin.

@hotforwords this is one of the biggest hangups with cdn and bp… I am currently excluding the avatar folders…which, ironically, would be one of the best uses of a cdn…especially with bp… If there was a way to lock an avatar update for say 24 hours after a change was made (make the change delayed for x time)… You might be able to then use the auto-load feature of total cache to ensure that pictures were on the cdn prior to the chage….

I believe Andy was working on a plugin for caching avatars to a CDN.
It’s being tested on testbp.org right now. Not sure if it’s going to be released any time soon.

Re: bug – check your activity for duplicate registration from the same user. Also you can login to your WP dashboard and see if any duplicate users were created. I should note that this bug occurred on a WPMU 2.9.2 install and could also have been the result of a plugin conflict.

Might work on WP 3.0. Also try the newest release of W3 Total Cache to see if this bug is fixed.

@nit3watch – No, I didn’t try it. I fixed your gcard_group_card() function previously.

After looking at your code again, it looks like you’re never calling that function so nothing is displayed.

You need to add the gcard_group_card() function somewhere in the gcard_show_card_in_header() function. Probably after the header.

Genius discussion.

EDIT: I’m just not quite clever enough today. Can this be made to work with Relevanssi? My search results are horrible, and I’d like the nicer excerpts and such that Relevanssi provides, also.

“Okay I figured it out” nothing to figure out.. If you right click with firebug, it tells you which file the rule is located in, never mind the line number. Also in firebug you can edit the css via the browser for a temporary view of what the rule will do before having to dig into your files and playing around with rules.

It really is a necessary tool if you plan on playing around with themes.. Good luck

You will need plugin

@covana: Sorry, nothing much to add–like @kasper777ny, I’m making a note to myself to look into this later. I’m not a huge fan of the separate tabs, either.

I have w3-total-cache running on my site with Minify, Database Cache, CDN (Amazon S3) and Browser cache. @Pisanojm, how did you get w3-total-cache to handle Avatar uploads? It breaks them for me as people try to upload their pic but then the CDN on w3 total cache breaks the ability to edit the image (it looks for the image on the CDN, not locally).

It looks like I might have to disable the whole avatar folder, which sucks! Unless you figured it out?

Also, @r-a-y how do I check to see if this problem is still happening with the version of w3 total cache that I am running?

Thanks!

@r-a-y
Looked at the patch, thanks for that. Are you asking whether group activity should be patched to both show the group avatar (which you’ve done) and link to the group home page (which you haven’t yet)? Or am I misunderstanding the Q?

@gwu123 You know, I’ve heard that (s2member plugin) mentioned a few times now and not yet bothered to investigate. Will finally do.
