- In attendance: @dcavins @im4th @vapvarun @emaralive

We started the meeting discussing about the fact we were out of sync about chat leading turns. We’ve reset the order:
@vapvarun will lead next docs meeting!
BP Documentation tracker status.
We achieved 1 migration task, our current status is 40%. A 1% increase is progressing!
BP Template hierarchy discussion
@vapvarun wondered why we have 2 different documentation tasks about this topic: #247 (<- he submitted a PR about its migration 💪) & #250 which informs about the buddypress
Theme support. @im4th explained this template hierarchy is slightly different whether you are overriding a Template Pack template or a standalone BP Theme template. We’ll soon use a lot more the buddypress
Theme support to check whether a standalone theme supports BP Components specific features.
BP Email discussion
We’ve found 2 bugs:
- plain text emails should include an unsubscribe link.
- the
bp_email_set_content_type
filter is not behaving as expected. See #9169: @dcavins fixed it 💪.
@im4th suggested we look into using wp_mail()
function to send BP Emails as it supports multipart emails. It should let us enjoy WP SMTP plugins.
“WP Admin Help Tabs” documentation
Achievements
- @vapvarun added a documentation page about Group Types Admin ✅.
- @vapvarun submitted 2 PRs for review.
Shared goals for next chat
- @im4th‘s goal is to add new help tabs to the user’s WP Admin/extended profile screen as well as the Activity WP Admin screen.
- @emaralive‘s goal is to work on a documentation page about the BP site invitation opt-outs so that we can soon add an help tab for the corresponding WP Admin/Tools screen.
- @vapvarun‘s goal is to submit PRs about using Post Type Activities (#197) & how to join a private group (#195).
Open Floor
@vapvarun also shared Matt’s post about WordPress 21th anniversary which includes a nice mention to bbPress and BuddyPress.
Forums should be front and center in the community. bbPress and BuddyPress need some love.
Matt Mullenweg
We 💯 agree!
Next Docs-Chat
It will happen (today!) on June 12, 2024 at 19:00 UTC in #BuddyPress.
