BuddyPress.org

I’ve looked into that, but all that does is rename the tab/link and the url for the component your dealing with, it won’t combine the bbpress and buddypress registrations and accounts.

I was playing with the idea for a while to just rename “groups” to “topics” and treat them as a…[Read more]

I don’t know if those tutorials are out dated, but when like I said when I integrated the two the other day the buddypress groups just took them over. I’m obviously going to keep looking anyways hoping I screwed something up, but I don’t know.

If nothing else I was hoping it would consolidate the user accounts so people won’t have to log into two separate things.

@r-a-y Like I said that doesn’t integrate it with buddypress.

Yeah, but like I was saying this thread sounded like by integrating the two it would integrate the user accounts too.

@johnjamesjacoby I was so stoked when I found this thread, thinking I finally found a way to run a normal forum but allow users to have the same log in account for buddypress and bbpress, but after I went through it all integrating the two, buddypress just shoved the forum right back into their groups.

I started to create a child theme for WP once, but I edit things so much I am a basically creating an entirely new theme anyways so I don’t even bother. I just duplicate the default theme folder so I’m not working completely from scratch, name the folder something different, and just go to town […]

@PauGibbsl so there should be a way to integrate the two so users only have to create and use one log in? And messageboard posts will show up in there activity stream also?

@Paul Gibbs Would that be a pretty big project to create the option for a standard forum? I would help but I don’t know anything about programming. I tried something new last night though, I installed wordpress/buddypress on the same database as a separate bbpress installation, and then followed the bbpress instructions as much as I […]

@lincme.co.uk I’m not trying to criticize them, I’m just hoping one of the things they might be working on is one of the things I am wanting. But you are saying you don’t think they are working on anything new?

@lincme.co.uk I am assuming you are one of the people who developed or now work on Buddypress, do you know if there is going to be a forum option like I have described that is separate from groups in any up coming version? I have really been wanting to redesign a website I run http://www.parkersburgskateplaza.org using […]

@Peterverkooijen you keep talking about privacy

but anyways, I’m still looking for a solution to simplify the messageboard/s system. Right now I’m looking into renaming “groups” to “topics”

@Peterverkooijen said: I’m sorry, but the whole point of a social network is that it is not anonymous. You can’t have unregistered users on a social network. The point of a social network is to allow members to interact with eachother in a trusted environment like they would in the offline world You just described email. […]

I can follow all their instructions to the point it says to run the script to your server: msgfmt -o buddypress-mysite.mo buddypress-mysite.po using terminal if you are on a mac. I know what terminal is but I don’t really know what it does or how it works and from what I always understood it is […]

I went through the .po file and that had no effect, and when I open the .mo file it just says

fiï

So open the .pot with POEDIT, save it as .po and .mo files, then edit these two in a text editor?

Alright cool, got it open now, but new problem, it won’t let me change anything.

My computer is telling me it is a PowerPoint file, I can open it with bbEdit, but POEDIT will not open it. I started going through it with bbEdit first and changed probably 20 instances already and not even an 1/8th of the way through.

Thank you. There are 4,325 lines in that file though, would I literally have to go through and change every instance of the word group?
