BuddyPress Default Data

Plugin will create lots of users, messages, friends connections, groups, topics, activity items, profile data - useful for testing purpose.

Description

All imported users will have avatars, generated by 8biticon.com and displayed by Gravatar.

Please use this plugin with caution and not on a live site! Again, USE FOR TESTING THEMES AND PLUGINGS, NOT ON A STAGING SITE WITH LIVE DATA. Plugin should not mess with your live data, but not guaranteed.

Clear BuddyPress button will delete all data, that was generated by this plugin: messages, groups, notifications, friends, forum posts, xprofile. Plugin won't reimport data if clicked twice.

And turn off email notifications in profile (friendship accepted and messages received) - or you will spam yourself :) Imported users have these settings already turned off.

bp-default-data's Issues

On clean up delete only Non-Admin Accounts

For those who probably have multiple admin accounts, it is annoying to have to re-create them since this awesome plugin deletes by user ID being greater than 1.

See code here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-for-only-deleting-non-admin-accounts?replies=1

Better translation support

Settings link on Plugins page in wp-admin

Better active components check

Do nothing if appropriate component is not active.

Clear cache

Perhaps, using BP (un)caching functions?

Split single-file plugin into chunks

Admin area, processing, general functions should be in separate files.

A combination of several ^ for a banner, plus sort of an import sign/character/whoknowswhat.

Catchable fatal error when user import failed

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wont-work-catchable-fatal-error/

I installed the plugin and when I tried to import sample data, I got the error:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/dh_ebc578/thisismytestsite.xyz/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/classes/class-bp-xprofile-profiledata.php on line 127

As this was a similar error as someone else reported, I reached out to Buddypress support and got this response:

I’m guessing that the $this->user_id parameter is the WP_Error object https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.2/src/bp-xprofile/classes/class-bp-xprofile-profiledata.php#L127; this might result in the Default Data plugin because it attempted to generate a user, but failed, and didn’t catch its failure before attempting to add profile data for the new user.
We could build some sort of failsafe to prevent this sort of fatal from happening, but I don’t know if we’d want to. In this case, it’s likely that the problem is a result of some incorrect logic or incomplete error checking in BP Default Data, and if we were to silently “fix” the error (by returning false or something) it would hide what could be a more serious bug for the plugin.

Add composer support

Fix dates problem

For everything that is written into activity table

PHP Notice: A non well formed numeric value encountered

Importing friends-connections (\bpdd_import_users_friends()) generate these notices:

PHP Notice:  A non well formed numeric value encountered in ...\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-core\bp-core-functions.php on line 1231

Admin page in WPMS mode + diff BP installation types

A few people have already commented they do not have the default data page appearing under 'Tools', I just wanted to add I have the same problem on a clean install of WP 4.4.1

Other plugins installed so far:
bbPress
BuddyPress
BuddyPress Default Data
WordPress Importer

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-default-data-page-in-4?replies=1

Better inform users about data deletion

Display a js prompt() with better explanation.

bbPress support

Add bbPress support for the plugin, the forum component of NuddyPress has been removed and replaced with bbPress.

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-bbpress-support?replies=1

Save that importing was already done and prevent rerun

So I will be able to remove this string:

Please do not import users twice as this will cause lots of errors (believe me). Just do clearing.

Profile fields import

• Import Data for Users

Thanks to 8biticon for users logos

Add the "thank you" to https://8biticon.com/ to the list of others.

Make the data deletion "smarter"

Currently when you let the plugin delete data it simply removes all users except the super admin and the same goes for groups/activity data.

It would be nice if it somehow could detect the default data created and only delete that whilst leaving the rest intact. This could be done by maybe adding custom meta fields to groups/members/activity and only deleting entries that have that custom fields.

Take installation instructions from Maintainn Tools plugin

Because they are cool
