BP plugin compatibility

    I’m not a plugin developer. I’m just an eager tester putting together a new site.

    I know Brajesh will do a fantastic job updating all his plugins to work with 1.5. If I run across another Buddypress plugin that isn’t compatible with 1.5 (some old 1.2 plugins are no longer actively supported or developed), is there a good guide for changing these plugins to work with 1.5?

    For instance, I know there are changes with how slugs are handled. Could someone provide some decent examples of changes you’d need to make?

    It’s worth bearing in mind that as a rule of thumb, the more complex a plugin is, the more likely it is that it will need serious work to update. Some of the changes regarding slugs, as you mention, will only “break” plugins if a BuddyPress site is set up with a certain permalink structure. e.g. just like here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups// (Until 1.5, you haven’t had chance to put the groups directory under a generic “community” page.)

    We’ll be trying hard to get documentation out on bpdevel.wordpress.com and the codex as and when the core team update their own plugins, etc. We’d love for anyone else to share what they figure out during the same journey
