New BuddyPress plugin: BP Import Blog Activity

02-Mar-10

I wrote a BuddyPress plugin today that is very ugly. It imports activity into BuddyPress from blog posts and comments that occurred before you had BuddyPress installed. It’s ugly because it’s sloppily coded and extremely inefficient and likely to hit PHP memory limits every time you run it. But it does the job, so I [...]

New BuddyPress plugin: BP MPO Activity Filter

09-Feb-10

In the past I and others have experienced some problems with the way that More Privacy Options for WPMu interacts with BuddyPress – or, to be more exact, with the way that the two don’t recognize each other.

07-Feb-10

By default, BuddyPress does not include comments from non-members (or non-logged-in users more generally) in the sitewide activity stream. This plugin records activity items for those comments.

The plugin has been tested on version 1.1.3 of BP, as well as the 1.2 release candidate. If you want to use the plugin for 1.1.3 or lower, you [...]

Removing previous comment edits from BuddyPress activity – a plugin

21-Jul-09

Another BuddyPress plugin for you. This one makes sure that you don’t get multiple versions of the same comment in your activity streams when a comment is edited. Sounds like a small thing, but it was kind of a bear to program. Anyway, check it out at the CUNY Academic Commons Dev Blog.
