[johnjamesjacoby]

Punt to 2.2. A lot of work has gone into this for 1.1 already, which will make transitioning things over easier in BuddyPress 1.7/bbPress 2.2.

[johnjamesjacoby]

(In [4266]) BuddyPress:

[johnjamesjacoby]

(In [4393]) BuddyPress:

• First pass attempt at repairing BuddyPress group forum relationships.

• See #1669.

I don't get any errors on screen if I run the 'Repair BuddyPress Group Forum relationships' tool on a site without BuddyPress though if WP_DEBUG is enabled I get the expected WP DB Database Errors:

WordPress database error: [Table 'wpdev.wptrunk_groups_groupmeta' doesn't exist]
UPDATE `wptrunk_groups_groupmeta` SET `meta_value` = '311' WHERE `meta_key` = 'forum_id' AND `meta_value` = '0';

WordPress database error: [Table 'wpdev.wptrunk_groups_groupmeta' doesn't exist]
UPDATE `wptrunk_groups_groupmeta` SET `meta_value` = '339' WHERE `meta_key` = 'forum_id' AND `meta_value` = '0';

...

Can (or should) a check if BuddyPress is enabled be made to hide this tool if BuddyPress is not enabled?

(Like the check 'Forum settings for BuddyPress' in bbPress Settings ​here)

[johnjamesjacoby]

(In [4401]) BuddyPress:

• Update group-repair tool to update the group forums root.
• Also rename the 'Default Forum' to 'Group Forums' since it's part of the sitewide forums now.
• See #2025, #1669.

[johnjamesjacoby]

Closing this; it's finally *done.*

New tickets should be open for specific issues.

[johnjamesjacoby]

(In [4402]) BuddyPress:

• Only rename 'Default Forum' if name matches old bbPress default forum title.
• See #2025, #1669.

[johnjamesjacoby]

(In [4407]) BuddyPress Group Forums:

• Suppress hierarchical group forums for now, for feature parity with existing BuddyPress forums.
• See #1669.

[johnjamesjacoby]

(In [4409]) BuddyPress:

• Add note to the top of BuddyPress loader.php.
• See #1669.
