A Belated Update on Progress

Just a quick update for those who have been waiting for the next version!

I’ve been running in the elections for local government where I live in the UK for the past few months, which has taken up lots of my time as you can imagine. Thankfully, I won and got elected! Although this brings new time constraints, it is much less than before.

I’ll be spending some time over the coming week finishing off projects and preparing the next version of BP Like for release. Im hoping to get a beta ready in the next few days!

Sorry for keeping you all waiting, and thanks so much for your patience and support.

If you would like to be involved in the beta, leave a comment to let me know.

PS – I’m thinking of switching this blog to a P2 one, so I can have more regular updates and conversations with the users of my plugin (like the WP Development blog). What do you think?

    Thanks.

    Hello and Congrats on your election.

    I was hoping to be able to get involved in the beta. I’m sure you have been really busy and that’s probably why there haven’t been any recent updates. Could you please let us know how the progress is going or at least insure us all that you haven’t abandoned this awesome project? I will gladly donate money to the progress of this plugin and am really looking forward to the following update:

    (0.1.1 ) Sort the activity streams by the most popular (liked) content

    Congrats on winning the election. Do you have an official title we can refer to you now as a sign of respect?

    Would love to see support for the Achievements plugin (http://achievementsapp.com/) where likes can be calculated as a means of unlocking an achievement.

  11. unimode says:

    Will the newversion integrate “Like” and “Like Reply” into the actual blogs, for example it is confusing to users when they Like a blog post in the activity stream, it does not show up in the actual post, and vice versa there is no Like button in the blog post or comments which can be clicked to update the Likes in activity stream.

  12. cokobware says:

    Hey I upgraded my WP to 3.2, and BP 1.2.9, and BP-Like no longer functions… I has a sad. :(

  13. Mike Kennedy says:

    Any updates regarding the new version? Or is this plugin dead? BP 1.5 is out now!

  14. Mike Kennedy says:

    You should change the theme over to P2, too!

  15. wzshopobbert says:

    Seems to be dead…? a shame… :S

  16. Sergen says:

    I’m looking forward to the new release.
    You can count me in for the beta testing, thanks.

  17. NoahY says:

    Just a note on Buddypress 1.5 compatibility – this plugin fails because of its use of the “is_site_admin()” depreciated function. Replacing it with is_super_admin() in the two places it occurs in bp-like.php seems to make it work fine.

    • Eric says:

      @NoahY you are the bomb!

    • Sajok says:

      I have multisites setup with buddypress 1.5.5, I changed is_site_admin() with is_super_admin() in two places but still this plugin doesn’t show in buddypress menu!.. any idea?

      • sajok says:

        ok, I managed to get it to work with wordpress 3.3.1 MU and buddypress 1.5.4 after installation by editing the file “bp-like.php”:
        1) in lines 228 and 248 change “is_site_admin” to “is_super_admin”.
        2) in lines 257 and 977 change “admin_menu” to”network_admin_menu”.
        now it will show in the super admin dashboard under buddypress menu.

  18. Hi alex, i’d like to hire you for some plugin development work. please reach out to me on twitter @briansowards and reference this page!

  19. Jay Martin says:

    will you release an official plugin update with the bug fixes for bp 1.5 ?

  20. Simon says:

    Hi Alex, I too am anxious for the upgrade so the plugin is compatible with bp1.5 – please could you post an update so we can set realistic expectations for our communities? It only has to be one or two lines. Many thanks in advance.

  21. We are trying to connect the world for Global Good at our site GlobalGooders.com and would love to be part of your beta program as we feel this may help us connect users faster

  22. felipe says:

    It appears there are no more updates on this plugin, and no beta program I guess.
    Are there any alternatives out there? Thanks

  23. loZ DiGloZ says:

    I will test it and can translate it into german if you want. Best Regards.

  24. fred says:

    view likes doesn’t work on 3.3 any idea ?

  25. I’d love to get an update from the developer about whether this plugin’s development has been put on permanent hold.

  26. Steven says:

    Please don’t abandon this great plugin.

  27. hypermike1 says:

    Likes now showing in activity stream. Anyone know the fix?

  28. Hi, there is a possibility to show like button also for unregistered user !!! I need to do this on my website ! Great Plugin ! Thanks

  29. Juan says:

    Hi! Congratulations!
    Will be a pleasure try for me try the new BP Like BETA ¿Where can it be download?

  30. Steve Media says:

    Just upgraded to buddpress 1.6.1 after upgraded to wp 3.4.2 and got the whitescreen of death. After disabling and reanabling plugins.. it appears that buddypress like is the plugin that is causing the blank screen of death. It’s a pitty, we were actually using this one!
    Thanks for the cool plugin while it lasted!
    Congrats on the election, I can certainly understand that governing your local community is more important than some like button.

  31. Please give us a update on this plugin! It would be amazing :)

  32. Matt Jones says:

    Submit this plugin at http://WPrecycle.com so someone can adopt it!

  33. mattptodd says:

    if you change is_site_admin to is_super_admin the error goes away and you can uninstall bp_like

  34. OC2PS says:

    Why not put this plugin in WordPress plugin repository so that folks feel reassured that this is a legit plugin?

  35. TF says:

    Is this still work in progress?

  36. Alex, i really need to know if you are still working on this, maybe if you let me share a couple of e mails with you would be great
