I’m still working out a number of issues with my plugin and the new release of BP 1.2 So, it will be awhile. I am not in a hurry as time spent on coding this plugin takes away time from my startup. But, I will finish the plugin and it will be released. If you want to be notified when it is released, I suggest that you follow me on Twitter so as you get notified when it is ready.

Hi Jeff:

Finally the Buddypress 1.2 stable has been released! Do you have any idea to release your plugin for the public.

Waiting for the reply

I do not have a definitive timeline. I’m currently overhauling the plugin, using BP 1.2RC. I have a ways yet to go. Once BP 1.2 has been officially released, then I will test it for at least a week before releasing.

This looks like a great plugin.

Do you have a timeframe for when it will be released to work with BP 1.2?

Hi Jeff!
Oh goody! The pre-pre-final version of BP1.2 is available (BP1.2rc) so the official release isn’t far off. From what I gather from your posts above, your Privacy Component should follow shortly thereafter. I heartily agree with ubik that privacy options are essential in a social network.

I’m also hoping that Marius finishes moving and renovating soon so he can have some time to “compatibilize” his bp-groupblogs plugin with BP1.2 too. Both your plugins together will make a formidable team!

I’m not exactly sure what you are asking? Have you read through the above comments?

Are you asking if you personal can modify the code? Or, are you wondering why I cannot modify my existing plugin to work with BP 1.2?

Either way, the issue is that there have been significant changes to the BuddyPress codebase that cause my plugin to malfunction. I am using my existing plugin version as a foundation for a new version that will function within BP 1.2. But, it is taking a lot of time as many of the functions in my plugin that used to work flawlessly under BP 1.1.x are now broken due to the changes that Andy and JJJ have implemented in BP 1.2.

But, I will upgrade my plugin to work with BP 1.2 as I’ve stated a number of times above. Of course, you are also free to take my code–as it is GPLed–and code your own privacy plugin!

Hello Jeff, you can’t modify this plugin for usage in buddypress 1.2?

By: ubik

ubik — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 01:09:43 +0000

thank’s for that!

your plugin is what makes buddypress usable in the first place, so we won’t be updating until you are ready!

This is just pure speculation, but I’m guessing that a public, stable version of BP 1.2 will be released within 3 weeks or so. That means I will not be releasing a new version of my BuddyPress Privacy Component until just after that time. I need to fully test it against the stable BP 1.2 version before it goes out into the wild.

Do you know when that might be?

By: Jeff Sayre

JP-

As stated in the post above:

Preferred environment is WPMU 2.8.6 and BuddyPress 1.1.3

My plugin is not yet ready for WPMU 2.9.x or the newly-released BP 1.2-beta. I will be releasing an updated version of my Privacy Component once the official, public version of BP 1.2 is released.

I don’t think your plugin works with BP 1.2.

If you have an updated version or suggestions on how to ensure it installed/activated correctly, let me know. Thank you.

By: Jeff Sayre

My BuddyPress Privacy Component will not work with WPMU 2.9.x. There are several issues, beyond the one you point out. So, even if you could access the privacy admin screen, you would find other issues.

There are a large number of codebase changes that occurred in WP and BP that cause my plugin to malfunction. With the rapid development of WP and WPMU heading toward their merge, and the beneficial evolution of BP, this is to be expected.

I suggest that you wait for the upcoming release of my next version. It will be compatible with the 2.9.x WP series. But, it will not be backwards compatible with the BP 1.1.x series. It will only work with the BP 1.2.x series.

I’m having the same issue as JermaineBelgardio. Is there a URL I can manually type in to get to the admin settings, or do they just not appear in WPMY 2.9.1.1 ?

By: Jeff Sayre

Jeff Sayre — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 22:05:43 +0000

My guess is that it’s having an issue with WPMU 2.9.1.1. The plugin is tested and supported up WPMU 2.8.6 and BuddyPress 1.1.3.

I will have a newer version coming out in a couple of weeks after BuddyPress version 1.2 is released.
