Jeff’s component is still under some stage of review and AFAIK hasn’t been released for private testing yet. There’s no promise that Jeff’s code will get integrated into the BP Core, that decision is Andy Peatling’s.
I’d assume the plan is to get a plugin out that is compatible with BP 1.1 as BP 1.2 isn’t likely to be released until January.
You create a forum as part of a group; you can’t get standalone forums. If you had existing groups you need to go to the ‘admin’ page of each group and enable its forum.
@snapstart, I think that’s a different issue. Would you make a separate post please?
I haven’t time to dig through answers for your questions, but if you’ve updated or replaced a record, you can get the ID immediately afterwards via $wpdb->insert_id.
If you make a new group and join user(s) into it, does this problem reoccur? If it does, try to deactivate all plugins other than BuddyPress and make a new group and try again. If it doesn’t reoccur, then it’s a conflict with a plugin.
I have read recently of problems with feedwordpress + BuddyPress, so there’s an incompatibility somewhere (if indeed feedwordpress works with WPMU).
I’m inclined to thing this is a problem from the Groupblogs plugin, but let me know what happens when you test the above.
It needs to be loaded before the bp-core.php file is. AFAIK that is either wp-config.php, /plugins/bp-custom.php and I suppose a plugin that loads before BuddyPress.
I only discovered it recently too!
