Andy Peatling
Originally from the UK, Andy had no trouble adapting to the rain soaked life of Vancouver, BC where he now lives. Andy likes to hop between coding and designing, sometimes mixing the two together and making his code look “pretty.” He has been tinkering with WordPress for a number of years both in theme design and plug in development. When away from his screen, Andy loves to watch and play all kinds of sports. Being in Canada, hockey holds a special place in his heart.
Interests
WordPress, BuddyPress

Andy Peatling posted on the forum topic Is Andy Peatling still fit to lead the BuddyPress project? --Time to re-define the "core development in the group Miscellaneous:
You are in safe hands with Boone, JJJ, and Paul. They’re working great together and the future of the project is bright. That’s the beauty of open source, the project can continue to thrive even when members of the development team move on.

I’m in on some of this action: “apeatling”.

That’s why we have a roadmap: http://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/
If you want to contribute something you know is going to take the project in the right direction then that’s the place to start. The roadmap represents the one place to dig.

I’ve thought long and hard about how to address this thread after seeing the conversation so far. I’ll do the best I can. Ever since I was given the opportunity to work on BuddyPress full time I’ve put every ounce of energy I have into the project. It has gone from nothing – literally fifteen [...]

No need to panic, everything is fine. JJJ is working hard on 1.2.5 and I’m still working towards 1.3 at a slower pace as my time is split in a few areas. I’m talking about soccer on Twitter because the world cup is on, and there’s more to life than code.

Andy Peatling posted on the forum topic buddypress.org: Location in the profiles in the group Requests & Feedback:
Not a plugin actually, but someone could turn it into one. It’s actually quite simple, you just need to include the following code in your theme wherever you want the map to appear. You will need a profile field called “Location”. You will also need a Google Maps API key.

Andy Peatling posted on the forum topic BuddyPress.org’s Unified Search – How can I get it? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting:
I did it with just a template. Copy and paste the members, groups, forums, and activity loops into a new template file. Add the parameter ‘search_terms=’ . esc_html( $_GET ) to each of the loops and then create a new WordPress page called search and assign the template file to it. Then just pass ?f=searchterms [...]

The only difference really is the user you are ”following” does not have to approve you.
In reply to - Mike Pratt posted an update: @apeatling Good work on the evolution of bp.org itself, Andy. I think the lessons learned on user behavior here (as opposed to testbp) will prove quite insightful. PS Is there a […] · View -

Every single plugin group has a forum specifically for the plugin. The plugin author needs to turn it on in their group.
