So what about a fix?
Nothing until the date you mentioned?
Is this causing my activity to mess up as mentioned here?

DJ Paul mentioned in Member Widget timezone issue that he has the problem when using bp_core_time_since().
Prior to changeset 2128 (November 25) this function would return the exact string “[Use GMT Timezone]” if the since time was less than 0. That is, the difference between the current time and the previous time was 0 or even negative!
In chageset 2128 (November 25) on the trunk, this string has been replaced by “sometime” which will be a little more graceful. Unfortunately that means it’s not going to be fixed until 1.2 is released.
As for why this is happening, it looks like bp_core_time_since() is getting called like this a lot:
bp_core_time_since( time() );
Which results in the code doing a calculation of:
time() - time()
which is almost guaranteed to be equal to 0.
Just updated to the latest:
Updated to revision 305.
Updated to revision 2388.
Updated to revision 2284.
Still no Buddypress menu option for the admin user of the site (I can provide a screen shot if you’d like). The only active plugin is Buddypress. If I implement my suggestion above in bp-core/bp-core-wpabstraction.php then it shows up fine.
P.S.: I failed to mention that the second blog uses the buddypress theme too. Maybe I can achieve a more “secondary blog” customization changing the theme, am I correct?
@JJJ, you are basically saying that it’s up to the end users/members to keep their data synchronized? And if it’s not, it’s their problem? It’s just not a very user-friendly approach.
Also, I’m very much in favor of keeping all options open for all use cases, but Buddypress does not offer any built-in firstname/lastname option. Simple built-in syncing with wp_usermeta upon activation like in my custom function would solve that problem and wouldn’t hurt anybody.
Maybe Andy refuses to include it in the core just to spite me, which would be at least somewhat understandable…
The first way is for users that may have been registered before BuddyPress was installed. They can still login, post comments, and use the forums, but if they never edited their profile and set their display name(fullname), BuddyPress won’t find them.
The second is if a user edits their profile from the WordPress side (firstname, lastname, nickname) without changing their BuddyPress display name. At that point the two will be out of sync.
It’s possible to hook into the save profile action of WordPress and change the BuddyPress display name when the user changes their WordPress nickname, but some sites may want a combo of the firstname/lastname while others may want to use the nickname, and others still may not really even care or use either. From that perspective it makes sense to not have BuddyPress try to interfere too deeply with syncing profile fields that might not have a direct 1 to 1 relationship with each other.
No but it’s a request that comes up every so often. It wouldn’t be too hard to create this, but I’m not sure anyone has put anything together like this yet.
A lot of this comes down to the theme and how you style the certain abilities of BuddyPress within that theme. You can also use the parent/child abilities to block different aspects of the blogs/sections of your site, which is typically what I’ve done in the past.
I can’t reproduce this problem, the menu appears fine for me in 2.9.1.
Thanks for the feedback. I thought I’d seen somewhere that some Ajax had been taken out or simplified, but that’s not what’s going on here then.
I must have broken something. What parts do I need to put Ajax back together? Where is the Javascript for these delete buttons?
My delete link looks the same, including the class. I also have the template_notices line. I probably get the popup because Javascript is missing.
This thread has some clues. I’ll get back to this next week…

Andy-
where can I find a copy of version 1.0 ?
Thanks for the link.
Rather; what I mean is having a plugin that transforms a buddypress install to tumblr like system. so that we can host it ourselves.. its pretty close… now…
Holy, I really didn’t read the codex entry for is_admin correctly! 
How about:
if ( !function_exists( 'is_site_admin' ) ) {
function is_site_admin() {
return current_user_can('level_10');
}
}
First is a WordPress thing, latter is BuddyPress.
For the first, check out some of the suggestions at the bottom of the https://codex.wordpress.org/Nofollow page
I am aware that when sending a message to someone, the AJAX post (when your message appears on the page) doesn’t display it correctly, it strips linebreaks etc. If you refresh the page, it displays correctly – you can see this on this website for example as it runs an old version of BuddyPress.
If this isn’t what you are talking about or if you’ve got something reproducible on version 1.1.3 or trunk of BuddyPress, please could you either reopen that ticket or make a new one? Thanks.
is_admin() is just a function that returns true if the user is in wp-admin, so that’s not going to work. I’ll take a look at this and see if there is a better way to replace the functionality.
is_site_admin() will be present in 3.0 but deprecated with is_super_admin().
if you are going to write any new plugins, are you going to release them under GPL ?
Hey Boone,
many thanks for writing this plugin !
Is there also a way for the Group-Admin to invite people from outside ?
Please see this ticket:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1498
Thanks again !
This is great, thanks for spreading the word about mojofiti, anyone wanting to know more, work with us, get our code, or collaborate in any way, please reach out.
@peter-anselmo, thanks for the fix. FYI- during my auto install process the activation is said to fail (but doesn’t) and the error below is generated. The plugin actually is activated:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_group_documents_check_prereqs() (previously declared in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/index.php:56) in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/index.php on line 67
@ fzeidan
Ok, will go into that direction then. Sounded like the best option in my opinion as well.
@gasparking
You mean the behance network website? And when Brajesh releases his bp gallery software for free, I’ll build in support for it in my themes.
@djpaul don’t worry, I don’t think he’ll do it
@bowe Here is an example of what’s in 1.2 right now (@Andy – is this what you were talking about?)
from single.php
<div class=”author-box”>
<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), ’50’ ); ?>
<p><?php printf( __( ‘by %s’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_core_get_userlink( $post->post_author ) ) ?></p>
</div>
So in the same code block we get the WP based avatar while getting the BP based Name. Hmm. Not sure why but I am going to use either bp_loggedin_user_avatar() or bp_member_avatar() instead, or possibly bp_core_fetch_avatar() feeding in the id via bp_core_fetch_avatar($post->post_author) but I am just flying by the seat of my pants and have not tried it yet.
I do know this. We know who the post author is. We know he has a username. That username is the same in WP or BP, so we can get his BP avatar and other info via that route. The rest is theming.
Seriously? Some smart guy told me otherwise.. don’t know who it was but DAMN.. thanks! Could you tell us how? And maybe tell the other poor souls who want to know as well in this topic:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/display-xprofile-field-in-blog-post
Maybe it’s better to reply there since it’s semi offtopic.
MrMaz has created BP-Links which allows for easy submitting of rich media content. It’s not possible (yet) to use it in the activity stream but he said he would look into it when BP 1.2 is released.
You can find the plugin and more info here;
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-links/
It does exactly what you say; Fill in a link to youtube/flickr and it detects the video or photo. The newest version of his plugin (not out yet) allows fetching images from ANY site with images on it, so that will be even more awesome!
Killer plugin which will only get better
