Testing defines in bp-custom on 1.5

[modemlooper]

These Work:

define ( 'BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES', true );
define( 'BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );
define ( 'BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR', true );
define( 'BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER', true );
define( 'BP_SILENCE_THEME_NOTICE', true );
define ( 'BP_FRIENDS_SLUG', 'peeps' );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH', 50 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT', 50 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH', 150 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT', 150 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT_THUMB', $img_url );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT', $img_url );

These do not:

define ( 'BP_XPROFILE_SLUG', 'info' );
define( 'BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE', true );
define ( 'BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG', 'streams' );

Root component slugs can be changed via page permalink but for backcompat should the old method be available? Root sub slugs such as /user/friends/ can be changed with a define.

These still need testing:

define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', $blog_id );
define ( 'BP_FORUMS_PARENT_FORUM_ID', $forum_id );
define ( 'CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', $tablename );
define ( 'CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE', $tablename );

CUSTOM_USER_TABLE / CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE are WordPress core defines. We shouldn't have ever used them, and we don't in BP 1.5.

[boonebgorges]

define ( 'BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG', 'streams' );

should still work for the middle of URLs, eg
​http://example.com/members/modemlooper/streams/just-me

If it doesn't, it's a bug.

URLs like ​http://example.com/streams (where 'streams' is what we are calling a 'root_slug') are handled by page slug, as you correctly note. Because we are using $wp_query to catch those page requests, there is no non-hackish way to provide backpat in those cases.

If define ( 'BP_XPROFILE_SLUG', 'info' ); doesn't work, that's also a bug. Will have to investigate.

[DJPaul]

I've just tested Boone's BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG example and it does work in the middle of URLs.

[boonebgorges]

I just tested
define('BP_XPROFILE_SLUG', 'info');
and it works as expected: profile links become
​http://example.com/members/boonebgorges/info

DJPaul, isn't BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE your best friend? :)

[DJPaul]

modemlooper, what user name, or user login, or user nice name or whatever you tried, do you expect to work when compat mode is set, that doesn't? I assume it manifests itself as a non-functional link somewhere?

[modemlooper]

Lemme test again, I just upgraded from trunk. Are you using bp-custom or functions? It would be better to use bp-custom as that file doesn't get overwritten on upgrades.

[boonebgorges]

I was using wp-config.php, but bp-custom.php should have the same effect.

[modemlooper]

It's not working for me for any root slugs

placed: define ( 'BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG', 'streams' );

in wp-config functions and bp-custom and it did not change the slug.

EDIT:

If i change the slug of 3rd party component then it doesn't show you the directory it shows you the wordpress page.

Example: change Achievemtents slug to badges and it shows you a wordpress page called achievements and the url is still /achievements

Again, by design, this method of setting root slugs has been deprecated with bp-pages. Just to make sure we're on the same page terminologicially:

http://example.com/groups                /my-group-name/members
                  [$bp->groups>root_slug]               [$bp->members->slug]

Slugs can be overridden in the old manner. Root slugs cannot; they must be changed by altering the WP page permalink.

Example: change Achievemtents slug to badges and it shows you a wordpress page called achievements and the url is still /achievements

That's probably because Achievements hasn't been updated to do things the right way, ie ​http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2011/01/18/component-slug-vs-root_slug-in-bp-1-3/

[modemlooper]

Oh wait, see that now we need to change roots with permalink.

Ok, it's working ok was confused by the tab names not changing on profiles when slug changes.

Okay to close this?
