Description

Not sure we need this any more.

/**
 * PHP4 constructor
 *
 * For backward compatibility only
 */
function bp_groups_widget() {
	$this->_construct();
}

Plus not seeing the _construct() method in the class anyway.

But yes, we can remove the PHP4 constructor.

Not arguing at all, but does it end up matching up with the single underscore vs double underscore? May be learning something new here myself.

#3 @boonebgorges

Ah, I didn't notice the single underscore. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4211 I'm not sure whether WP required PHP 5 at this time - if so, the groups widget would've thrown a fatal error on PHP4. So yeah, let's rip it out.

Easy props for a first-time contributor.

It has been 8 weeks without any new patch, so here I am putting one.
The patch removes php4 style constructor and also cleans up the code to follow WP Coding standards.

In 10440:

Remove PHP4-style constructor from BP_Groups_Widget.

The constructor is no longer needed, and contains a typo that would cause a
fatal error if it were ever called.

Props sbrajesh, tw2113.
See #6721.

#8 @boonebgorges
