Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic Favoriting Blog Posts — Code Inside worked with 1.2.x, not so much with 1.5.x in the group Creating & Extending
Are you running BP-Default 1.2.x’s javascript, or are you using 1.5s?

Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic Activating languages on buddypress in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
No, set WPLANG to ’el’, just like if you weren’t using BuddyPress. You can’t define WPLANG twice, it won’t work. You’ll need a WordPress translation loaded, as well as a BuddyPress one.

Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic Is BuddyPress suitable for a large-scale, social network with custom authentication and content moni in the group Miscellaneous
1. Anything’s possible. You’ll just need to build it. BuddyPress doesn’t handle authentication, that’s all down to WordPress (so, if you can get it working with WordPress…).
2. By default, any user can see […]

Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic Is it better to start with buddypress or just the the forum? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
Yes. Use bbPress 2.x (we refer to this inside BuddyPress as ”Sitewide forums”). By the time you guys decide if you need a social layer in addition to a forum, both bbPress and BuddyPress will be ready to integrate.

Those ’missing’ members haven’t logged in to your site since you activated BuddyPress.

Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic External authentication vs local database in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
BuddyPress doesn’t do anything with user authentication. Get it working with WordPress, and it’ll work with BuddyPress. For further advice, it’s probably worth searching the WordPress.org forums as I imagine […]

Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic How to set an activity type with embed? in the group Creating & Extending
r-a-y was the person who built oembed into BuddyPress core.

Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic Profile for two person in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
There’s no limit to the number (or type) of profile fields that you can use at the same time.

Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic activity stream not functioning in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
Point 2. should work if you enabled the “Site Tracking” component (wp-admin BuddyPress Components)?
Point 3. is expected behaviour (assuming there is indeed more text than that warning message). Some browsers […] -
Not easily* possible without changes to core. We’ve an enhancement ticket for sticky groups: http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2242

Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic Buddypress User Accounts not working in the group Installing BuddyPress
Yeah, we don’t support nesting of the pages when those pages are mapped to BP components.

Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic How to set an activity type with embed? in the group Creating & Extending
@r-a-y said his plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/ would eventually offer this as an option.

Ok, I see. Next time I look at BP Labs, i’ll try to recreate the problem and fix it.

1) If you’re clicking on a name, there’s no point in autocomplete doing anything because you’ve already entered the name.
2) It’ll only work when *you* start typing an “@” character; I doubt the pre-fill […]

Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic Members Page Not Showing All Members, Only Recent Sign Ups in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
This is intentional. Until a user does something, such as log in to your site, after you’ve installed BuddyPress, they won’t be listed. Why do you want to show inactive users.
Not aware of any plugins that […]

Is this talking about when the button pre-fills the user’s name in to the text box for you?
-
This is more of a general question rather than a BuddyPress or a WordPress question. I would not worry about 200k. Obviously, the quicker the better. Load some of your favourite sites into […]

Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic Forums component not set up - configure bp root blog issue in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
Right now, the forums component in BuddyPress is only used for BuddyPress Groups. These group forums don’t use the same version of bbPress that the sitewide forums do.
Are you getting the “forums not set up” […]

Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic Is bp_core_redirect() broken ? or when can I call it ? (BP 1.5) in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
The bp_before_group_plugin_template action is much too late for a real redirect, because you’re already outputting HTML to send to the browser. Do it higher up the stack (before the template is rendered).

Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic submenu of submenu displacement in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
Thanks, I see. I’ve just tried recreating on a local test install of BuddyPress (no other plugins) and it seems ok. Hopefully someone else will see this thread and test, too, to check if i’m right or wrong.
