BuddyPress.org

API so we could build mobile apps

Just “API” is a bit vague. Do you, perhaps, want to create a ticket, with exactly what you are after, at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ ?

I assume you are aware of the existing API https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/action-reference/

@modemlooper Thanks, I did know about hiring a coder to build a plugin. But you’ll note that’s not what I asked.

The article lays it on a bit too thick but it does have a point. For example, the ticket on custom post types has languished without any attention after a great initial discussion. And it has been punted several times already.

This is arguably an important feature. And it is 2+ years old. With the last activity being 6 months ago with trishasalas commenting and not receiving any feedback or response (except the punt).

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3460

I don’t want to get bogged down in this specific feature or ticket, I’m only using it to illustrate that, well, things can be improved on.

Do you really think that there is no room for improvement? That the status-quo is honky-dory a-okay? Because you don’t have to be negative or have a jaundiced eye to realize that things can always be improved. And it is obvious that the development process for both bbPress and BuddyPress can be improved when important tickets are ignored, marginalized and peripheral improvements come in way over their delivery date.

I would like to start a constructive dialogue on how we can improve things. If no one here is interested and thinks that there is no need or room for such improvement, then I’ll be happy to go back to lurking.

@bphelp What do you know…1.9 Beta is out already… https://buddypress.org/2013/11/buddypress-1-9-beta-1-is-now-available/ 🙂

Maybe I should change these to 2.0 feature requests…

I tried creating another admin, but there is no option to unmark any admins as sploggers. I guess Buddypress and Wang Guard dont work well together.

How do you do that? I want both Wangguaard and Buddypress, but it seems that both of them dont agree with each other ever since I accidentally marked myself as a spammer in Wangguard. Thanks so much.

Oh and forgot to mention that I get the same issue with the BuddyPress default theme.

Sorry, forgot to add the details:

1. Which version of WordPress are you running?
3.7.1

2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install?
Directory

3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?
Root on server / subdirectory on localhost (I have two copies for emergencies like this but this time both are behaving badly)

4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version?
Yes, 3.6.1

5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting.
Yes

6. Which version of BP are you running?
1.8.1

7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?
1.8

8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones?
Yes: AddThis Social Bookmarking Widget / BuddyPress Template Pack / Edit Author Slug / Login With Ajax / Popular Widget / Video Thumbnails (disabled all plugins save for BuddyPress and the behavior continues)

9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?
Customized

10. Have you modified the core files in any way?
No

11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php?

?>

12. If running bbPress, which version?  Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in?
Not running bbPress

13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server's log files.
None

14. Which company provides your hosting?
nearlyfreespeech.net

15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else?
Linux: Apache (both localhost and server)

I have also just removed the avatars folder and it does indeed create one as well as the userid folder although that remains blank (no files are placed there) and the same error as my original post appears. Hope that helps in solving this.

hey, can you explain: Did you configure BuddyPress in a subsite instead of the main site

thanks

I even removed the entire installation, reinstalled 3.6.1 and I am still getting the same issue. Another odd thing about this is that local avatars are showing up on localhost but not on the server copy. None of this makes any sense. My directory permissions are correct, when I run wp_debug I only get the strict errors for BuddyPress (that are showing up because of backwards compatibility). I have run out of ideas. I was hoping there was something I can place in functions.php or bp-custom.php that would cause it to look in the right folder for the uploads.

Is this Buddy Press support, because it really feels like I’m writing to myself here!

I’ve noticed a javascript error in the “global.js” file on line 1519.

Uncaught TypeError: Property ‘undefined’ of object #<Object> is not a function.

I believe this is a BuddyPress error. Any ideas on this and my original problem?
