BuddyPress

Great news! The first ninja fix is live on buddypress.org. Check out this link: http://buddypress.org/community/activity/p/49614/

Those activity permalinks were previously broken, which meant that, among other things, the emails notifying you of new @-mentions had unusable links. It’s now been patched, and activity permalinks are redirecting correctly.

For those who are interested, the problem has to do with the WP pages support in the 1.3-branch. Related ticket: http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2600

Onward and upward!

Oh yes yes yes, starting to feel like one can actually track around the site. : ) Thanks Boone

Good job!

Boone, you are the shinobi!

Thank you. Those email links were driving me nuts.
Well… not nuts really, but it was a bit irritating to have to search through pages of comments to find the one mentioned in an email.

Good job!

This now means that I actually will have to follow the links. Good job!

Kudos!

Yes!

stupid question:
I am using bp 1.2.5trunk which I update every couple of days.

Is this fix and the others in this branch or just the 1.3 branch?

–I tried installing 1.3 but it just puked all over itself, so as JJJ suggested I went to the 1.2.5trunk instead.

Boone’s fix isn’t in 1.3 trunk; bp.org is running a customized build of 1.3 at the moment.

Like JJJ mentioned, stick to 1.2 branch until 1.3 gets some merge love in the coming months.

@r-a-y is right – the fix isn’t relevant for the 1.2 branch.

Nice! Any chance on getting my hands on the fix? Been developing a site that uses a couple custom plugins that are dependent on BP1.3 .

@travel-junkie For this site, I just hardcoded the word ‘activity’ to account for funky custom slugs. See http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2600. The fix on buddypress.org is in the spirit of the first item under “Possible fixes”; I unhooked the default activity permalink redirector and rehooked one with the change. (Not ideal in the long run, btw, but fine for a single site.)

Oh, ok, cheers for that!!

:cheers wildly:
