Trac Tickets

Route /me/*/ to /members//*/ (#6325) @rayisme has patch and has created a new ticket (#7075) for the internationalization patch. Update: @rayisme has committed this feature to trunk.

BuddyPress Embeds for activity, user profiles, groups (#6772) @im4th noted the security concerns about the embedded embeds. @rayisme: “The right way is to dynamically replace the image with the embedded content. However, the WP model makes this hard since we start in an IFRAME to begin with.” @im4th mentioned that he was going to test the new patch. Update: @rayisme and @im4th have uploaded new patches.

Activity post form template improvements (#6680) @dcavins had posted screenshots after testing @rayisme‘s patch on the WP default and some premium themes. @boonebgorges: “It looks like the specific improvements in the ticket do break some things, so let’s not do it right now. But maybe we can revisit for the next release.” Update: Ticket punted to next dev cycle.

Administrator not able to delete user notifications (#7023) @rayisme requested dev feedback. @boonebgorges: “The change to `displayed` rather than `loggedin` seems right. It’s what we do everywhere else. If you need to add a param to all functions to make it work, so be it. Strategy seems fine.” @djpaulgibbs: “to my eyes that looks like it’s an in-progress ticket that I don’t need to pay much attention because I trust the people (Ray and David) working on it 🙂 “

Notifications: Pass the notification ID to the notification callback (#7066) @rayisme has patch but requires patch in (#7067) to resolve the issue. @boonebgorges gave the green light. Update: @rayisme has committed both to trunk.

Improved caching for group membership (#6327) @boonebgorges will look into this. In addition: “I commend @dcavins for pulling that into the milestone. Now I feel obligated to look at it. A quality of a good release lead :+1: ” Update: @boonebgorges has improvements to trunk.

Emails: real unsubscribe functionality (#6932) @djpaulgibbs wants to get this in for 2.6 and will take a look at progress early next week.

Date xprofile field enhancement (#5500) @boonebgorges and @djpaulgibbs discussed the patch and missing feedback from reporter. Update: Ticket punted to next dev cycle.

Add a “data-timestamp” attribute to all templates requiring timestamps (#5757) The discussion between @rayisme, @im4th, @boonebgorges, and @djpaulgibbs touched on the 2 new libraries introduced for this new feature – moment.js and livestamp.js – and who has the time to shepherd this for 2.6.0. Update: @rayisme has uploaded revised patch.

Blogs: Improvements to bp_blogs_record_existing_blogs() (#6270) @rayisme is ready to commit patch in ticket.

Widgets: add support for customizer selective refresh (#7030) Update: @rayisme has committed patch to trunk.
