BuddyPress installer/updater component slugs

[sushkov]

Right now the installer is not aware of custom defined component slugs.

source:/trunk/bp-core/admin/bp-core-update.php#391 ignores possible manual definitions of components slug (ex. BP_GROUPS_SLUG, like in case of <component>::setup_globals())

On a new installation, BP core files have not been loaded at this point. The data in ::setup_globals() is therefore not available.

During inter-1.5 upgrades, core files *are* loaded. But in that case, we should be looking at root_slug rather than slug. (So that's a bug, and should be patched. Though it doesn't matter that much, because the Pages step won't generally be loaded on upgrades after 1.5.)

Because we are looking at root_slugs rather than regular slugs, we should *not* be respecting BP_{component}_SLUG overrides in wp-config.php, since these constants no longer affect the root slugs in BP 1.5.

Aha, thanks a lot, this make it clear now.

I think there's nothing to resolve here. Marking closed.
