BP Labs WordPress Plugin
BP Labs contains unofficial and experimental BuddyPress features for testing and feedback. Requires BuddyPress 1.6+.
BP Labs contains three unofficial BuddyPress experiments; @mentions autosuggest, Quick Admin, and Like Button. All experiments are in beta, and come with no guarantees.
@mentions autosuggest requires the Activity component, and extends its @messaging feature to help you find the short name of a user. It is integrated into comments, the "What's New" activity status box, Private Messaging (body), and bbPress v1 group forums. To trigger the autosuggest, type an @ followed by at least one other letter.
For example, to mention to Paul Gibbs, you could type @Paul G, and it will show a list of users who match. You can then select one of these users, and their short name will be added to the text area (even if Paul's short name is paulgibbs).
Quick Admin requires Groups, and affects the group d
