This could be argued that it is something a blog theme would have to implement. We have to remember that BP is a set of plugins and conceptually we wouldn’t want anything in WPMU to break if BP was removed (or trash left behind). Unless Andy could enlighten us, I’m not sure why BP couldn’t use the user identifer from WPMU. Any extra fields I think should have to be stored in BP tables, as-is atm.
The only thing you can’t change safely is some of the subject lines of the emails. If that’s not 100% essential to the launch of your site, I would suggest waiting for the next release of WPMU – or just running a copy from trunk.
However if you follow the link above you should be able to find out what file you need to change.
Clear your cookies, then after logging in both places, view your cookies in like Firefox. I am assuming that they should be named something like wordpress_ and wordpress_f5433ed3c296d4543 (where the letters after the underscore is a hash).
In both your wordpress and bbpress config files, add the following:
The values aren’t saved when I create the fields – I’ve gone back into ‘Edit’ the admin panel to check. I’ve confirmed this by also going into the user / edit profile screen. In the example of the select box, I only see an empty select box.
Exactly the same when I test using the search box (top left of the home theme). The problem is that there’s no code written to handle it yet – all the existing code does is to call the bp_search_form_action action which isn’t implemented anywhere.
You need a SVN client to do svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk. Then in future you can run svn update to update to the latest “trunk” copy. It’s a bit hard to go further into specifics as I don’t know what Operating System you use, but have a google around if you get stuck.`
I’ve renamed my admin account to get around this. However, i’d like to get a way of hiding the bbpress forum user account for the user listing on the home page. Andy could we get a filter added in for this?
Buddypress is not unusable software. I suggest being a bit more polite if you come looking for help, especially to the official Buddypress forums.
It’s because you’re trying to shoehorn a PHP script into your theme. Either one of the PHP variables you use in the snippet in bold is used elsewhere by Buddypress – thus getting weird conflicts – or it’s to do with one of your mysql_ function calls, possibly mysql_select_db().
