Dev Chat Summary for September 7, 2016

BuddyPress 2.7

Trac Tickets

Groups query overhaul (#5451) @boonebgorges has patch to boost performance and object caching for the Groups component. He noted, “There will be some backward compatibility breaks for anyone using `bp_groups_get_(paged|total)_groups_sql` filters and has listed some plugins in ticket. Dev feedback requested –  especially @djpaulgibbs and @rayisme ( @dcavins has already voiced his support 🙂  )” @rayisme has posted support as well. Update: This is now in trunk.

Hierarchical groups (#3961) @dcavins is ready to commit the patch which has a cache invalidation scheme. @boonebgorges said patch looks good and mentioned testing the patch with thousands of groups. @dcavins is prepared to test with a group generator via WP-CLI.

Friends: Add caching to BP_Friends_Friendship class (#6978) @dcavins has refreshed patch which caches friendship objects separately from a users’ friendships.

Change bp_sort_by_key() to allow key preservation (#7238) @dcavins has patch, “If anyone has reservations about changing the underlying function call, please add a note on the ticket.”

Add action hook(s) outside the group admin form (#7249) @dcavins has patch. @boonebgorges, “seems fine to me.” @tw2113 “is fine to me too, it has its docs.” 😀 Update: This has been committed to trunk

No group members search in groupname/admin/manage-members/ (#6385) @dcavins has patch. Dev feedback needed.

Improve group management members screen (#7105) @dcavins has patch. @boonebgorges has posted comment in ticket. Update: This has been committed to trunk

Update BP_buttons class to accept new arg param for $element_type (#7226) @r-a-y requested feedback for current patch.

Group type frontend integration (#7210) @rayisme noted in ticket that he was going to commit patch soon. This has @boonebgorges‘ ♥ stamp.

Only load component action and screen code when we’re on the component’s page (#7218) @rayisme has patch. Dev feedback requested for relocating functions.

Screen notifications settings page (#6712) @rayisme has patches for a separate screen notifications panel as well as for a new merged notifications (email and screen) panel. @dcavins likes the “idea of a central place to manage communication.” @boonebgorges “I haven’t tested the patch, but I definitely like the idea of a central place for managing this stuff. I’ll check it out. What to do with 3rd-party settings doesn’t seem like a dealbreaker either way.”

Use WP page names for BP directory pages headings (#6765) @hnla requested dev feedback. @boonebgorges will look into this.

Display and filter by member type on Dashboard > Users (#6060) @dcavins has updated patch. Dev feedback requested – “a lookover would be great because this should easily apply to the groups wp-admin table with slight modification.” @boonebgorges will try to take a look.

Creation of developer.buddypress.org (#6812) @tw2113 has set up test site at https://trexthepirate.com/buddypress/
