I’ve been running this plugin on a live site for two weeks now with no problems, I haven’t tried the latest version but will test it out in the next day or so… I have a vps server so haven’t tested on shared hosting… for the people who are seeing bp posting the wrong times for bp status updates, this is a known bug I have read about before on their forums, don’t remember the reason why it occurs with some installs, didn’t happen to me, but I will find the link to the solution some have posted over there once I get near my comp… maybe that will help some.

“btw, why does akismet keep marking your posts as spam?  closet spammer? ;) lol, just kidding!”

Apparently I am lol… nah I donno but was actually wondering why my posts were getting held for moderation :) .

Here are some of the threads relating to the bp activity time being off, this would include bp status updates and comments made from bp on bp activity… so not stuff relating to sp in the activity feed in other words.

yeah, we dont moderate here – hell, you paid! ;) unless akismet marks it as spam…  wonder if we are sending back it as Ham if we approve it?

thanks for the time info…  so far, after last update, times are holding steady…

Kevin, seen your video…  and its going to come back to the same thing… there is a fundamental server error occurring… really need to know what that is…

need the error log checked or similar done with WP_DEBUG enabled…  need to know what the critical error is…

a couple folks offered up site access, but no one has come through with it yet, so not much we can do to help from the bleacher seats on this one…  would need wp admin access with sp admin capabilities and probably ftp access…

I have been trying to get some of the data from spTopicView.php such as post count, special rank, etc, to show up in bp profile member-header.php using sp_forum_api_support(); before I try to call the data and $bp->displayed_user->id to define the profile’s user id. Is this possible? I get no errors when trying but none of the data shows up either…

I’ve been running this plugin on my site since April 21st and I really like it.  I haven’t had any real problems with it but I am dying to see tighter profile integration.  It would be nice to use the BuddyPress profile information for both (as it does nicely) but when viewing the profile from the forum not having to leave the forums.  It confuses me, so I know it will confuse the users.  Everything else is great and I appreciate your hard work on this!!!!!

js… you would need to show us what your code looks like…  just pick one example…

phillip… not sure I understand… just use one profile – likely bp since they dont have any integration with SP… ;)   not sure why having two forms would be of value – that sounds more confusing than having a single location…  just point the forum profile to the bp profile and the needed sp forms are added…  then with this plugin, if you enabled the menu items, its only one click, just like leaving the sp profile to get to the forum…

or perhaps I am misunderstanding…

Well this is the code I have but I can’t figure out how I should be adding the user id to sp_PostIndexUserSpecialRank… have tried a bunch of different ways that haven’t worked out…

sp_forum_api_support();
global $bp;
$bp->displayed_user->id;
sp_PostIndexUserSpecialRank(‘showTitle=0’);

No, you cannot use that function… if you read the codex article on that:  http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/api/template-functions-and-the-api/display-template-functions/topic-view/sp_postindexuserspecialrank/

it says it must be used within the topic view loop… ie the looping of forum posts… much like the wp template functions that only function in the loop…

you need to use the more generic, no loop specific function:  sp_UserSpecialRank()…

see: http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/api/template-functions-and-the-api/display-template-functions/common-view/sp_userspecialrank/

yeah still no dice with showing the special rank…. 

sp_forum_api_support();
global $bp;
sp_UserSpecialRank(‘showTitle=0’, $bp->displayed_user->id->rank);
sp_OnlineStatus(”, ‘$bp->displayed_user->id’);

The online status shows tho :)
