@Troy Hi — logged in here after a long time, sorry for the lack of reply.

I’m working on a completely new plugin from scratch, not using the existing BP Events plugin so I’m afraid I have no idea about fixing notifications.

I’m not aware of anything else with that functionality… you could look into converting this for buddypress: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/unread-posts/ ( which i think logs the last post_id for each topic )

You could try and ping him at @apeatling since PMs are turned off.

As always, first backup everything.

Then, read the instructions in this codex article for Upgrading from 1.0.x to 1.2.x. I would also search the forums to see what issues people may have had with this process. As I upgrade with each new version, I have zero practical experience with such a big upgrade.

Oh good grief! @LPH2005; thank you. I’d installed W3 Total Cache, set it up and forgot about it. Then noticed terrible lagging on my BP site. Just switched off page caching and zippeee… This should go on a BP Wiki page entitled, “Things that will bite you in the ass without any warning”.

@LPH2005 congratulations, it must have been quite a pleasant surprise!
Cheers.

Yes, I use W3 Total Cache on two sites that are on RackSpace – and they have their own caching (known as MA) that I couldn’t get to work well with WP Super Cache and BP. Paul is correct that you must not enable page caching with W3 or it’ll be a mess. Now, I couldn’t get CDN to work with W3. Amazon is setup properly but the information was never pulled properly.

Hope that helps.

I hope this thread helps you.

Best of luck on your site.

@nit3watch – I need more sleep! I deleted the previous posts to avoid confusion.

You don’t need a core hack!

Check out the revised code:

Edit: PoEdit is a great utility for creating the required language file from the BuddyPress basic .pot, and is available for various systems at http://sourceforge.net/projects/poedit.

@crashutah; Thanks for the link. I was just pondering the idea, and what might already exist, but I’ll create a language file now which will save me a lot of time later. Seems to me that any system which uses or will in future use multiple languages, should be designed from the start to have a central way to translate every string. Though from past experience I know that it’s not as easy as it might sound.

@r-a-y Thank you for your help, I have done as your instructions and all work well now:D

@alanchrishughes – i’m working on an activity based solution now but waiting on 1.2.5 with some hook fixes

@lincme
You should be able change the wording using a pot file. See this page: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

Although, your suggestion is a good one and could be added as a trac ticket for people to discuss and add to the core as appropriate.

hey, I’m still actively developing this, but with the BP forum favourites feature removed, it’s tough to stay current. I’ll fix this and post an update. @nit3watch your work sounds interesting, I’d be interested to see what you are up to with the plugin. Also, I’d really like to create an admin panel for the plugin so that people can change their settings and not lose them on update, if you are serious about this plugin, a small donation would pay for this change. otherwise i’m too busy to add new features.

There is a Global Sitewide Forums plugin for BP still in beta and working in 1.2.4.1 …

@nuprn1 I presume that you have seen Jeff’s ticket on the same issue -said for no particular reason
