Hello,

My wish is for BuddyPress to have a chat like private messaging system with only one thread allowed between users. Or maybe have a feature where we can enable a periodical delete of older messages so threads don’t get really large and slow.

I am glad to hear that a v.14 is planned!
For 10 years I’ve tried to build something with buddypress, but I have never been able to launch a completed project, as I haven’t had the skills to make it as functional as it needed to be.

I am one of those guys that have used wordpress + various other members plugin + freelancer to make what I want.

Every community is different – so is the ones I’ve tried to make, and more often than not I haven’t needed 60% of the functionality coming out of the box in buddypress. But there are always something missing, at least for what I wanted to use Buddypress for.

In version 14 I hope to see more functionality (presented in a clear way for the users) towards user-interacting: Easy to use notification system for 100% of interactions between users.

All notifications is so, so important – as this is the way to bring members back. “Lila has sent you a message, click here to see”, “You got a new friend request”, “Someone replied to your topic”.. This brings people back, helping to grow the community!

So: Live popups and emails + bell notifications for:
Private messages, new bbpress replies / new topics, bbpress mentions, commenting, like buttons, added, follows, friend requests, accepted friend request, rejected friend requests, rating of content, e.g posts, forum posts etc.

And the entire notification system must be easy to use for both members and the admins!
Not all admins have coding skills. We just need an easy way to implement a bell in the header, which nicely presents new notifications. Small things like that is what I’ve been looking for.

And I have often found that 50% of it is working as I hoped, but then the other 50% is just not there. Forcing me to go to Freelancer, and from the developers over there, getting told: “You don’t need such a heavy tool like buddypress to accomplish this. Let me fix it for you just using wordpress and UsersWP”.

ps – I LOVE the private community update, and everything else you’ve done – I feel spoiled really – hence why I want it to be even more successful 🙂

Hi Mathieu, tried it, no change unfortunately. This looks like the wrong item for the topic anyway, as the file /bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/members.php doesn’t have any pagination code at all. Consequently a bug for some unknown length of time.
Might the issue be better posted at the bbPress site?
Another issue cropped up with the display of recent posts in a member’s group activity tab. A bbPress (not a BP group) private topic was created and was correctly showing in the group activity posts. The title and body of the content were later edited, and although the content of the post in the group activity tab didn’t change to reflect the edit, (even when the page cache was purged), the topic title did match the last edit.
Thanks.

(damn the spam on this forum seems constant, that’s frustrating)

I’m using BBpress.
In fact the website I’m working on used BBpress and i’m trying to integrate that and Buddypress (that I enabled mainly to add private message to the website).

bbpress has the advantage to contain templates that work directly when you enable both plugin.

I’m trying to pull all the information from both bbpress profile and buddypress profile to an existing custom theme profile page but that’s the challenging part.
