In reply to: move /members directory to another domain ?!
Hi jorrie, sorry to be the one to say this… but please do not create multiple topics about the same issue. I’ve read at least several topics with the same information from you.
Create just one thread and “bump” it if no one responds.

With regards to your actual issue, AFAIK what you’re asking for is currently not possible; if it is, it would require some elaborate rewrite rules.
Hopefully a BP mod can answer your question more directly.
I’m using a plugin called WP Hide Dashboard on the primary blog:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-hide-dashboard/
This hides mostly everything from a subscriber.
Hope that helps!
In reply to: No Group Forums, bbPress Forums OnlyDo what gerikg said.
Login to your WPMU backend and navigate to “BuddyPress > Component Setup”.
Check “Disabled” for “bbPress forums” and you should be good to go!
*The one thing that probably has you confused is you need to login to your bbPress admin area and manually delete your existing group forums.
In reply to: BBpress activity streamHey gerikg,
If you’re using forums separately, I would suggest using the following plugin to output your latest forum discussions:

In reply to: Clean professional user registration?I wouldn’t put any more time into this issue as custom registration/signup templates will be possible in v1.1.
Big thumbs up here!
In reply to: Important Theme Changes Coming!Sounds good! But sucks for existing theme developers (like me) who have customized the skeleton theme a bit!
Theme conversion takes time… but the future benefits outweigh the negatives
In reply to: Clean professional user registration?@Peter + Roger,
You might want to pick Mark’s brain as to how he created the registration system and removed the username:

In reply to: Remove Create a Blog option from signupHi Roger,
Try this:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/default-to-just-a-username#post-14828
Requires hacking a core file and a little bit of CSS to hide the “Create A Blog” block.
If there’s a better method, let us know!
In reply to: noob questions…new to buddypress“themes” is a themes folder for WordPress(MU); whereas “bp-themes” is a themes folder specific to BuddyPress components.
To be more specific, “themes” styles the blogs; “bp-themes” styles the member profiles and groups.
ReadWritePoem’s blog posts is from the main, primary blog… it’s a simple template loop from WordPress… nothing elaborate there. In fact, looking into it further, they do not have member blogs! So if you’re familiar with regular WordPress, you’ll know how they placed the blog posts on the front page.
In reply to: Progressive implementation of BP/How to startNever tried IntenseDebate either… but it should play well with BP since IntenseDebate syncs comments to its own server, but I could be wrong.
In reply to: Multi-thread WiresNot sure if this is on the roadmap, but if it isn’t, feel free to add it as a suggestion in the trac.
Login with the same username and password as you use on the BP.org site.
Check:

In reply to: Help with Upgrading my SiteBP 1.0.2 is the last version compatible with MU 2.7.1.
If I were you, I’d wait for the next version of BuddyPress – version 1.1 scheduled to be released next week.
You would need to upgrade WPMU to 2.8.4.
—
When you upgrade, make sure you backup everything! (database, wp-content directory)
Deactivate all plugins, rename “mu-plugins” folder (if you use mu-plugins) and then install WPMU over your existing install.
Next, install new version of BuddyPress, reactivate plugins and everything should be good (I say should because each case is different!).
Since you didn’t mention bbPress, I presume you don’t have to worry about it, which is good, since that takes out one main item out of the equation!
I’m guessing it wouldn’t since WP vs. WPMU are different beasts, especially when it comes to registration.
In reply to: Progressive implementation of BP/How to startRe: comments… you don’t have to worry because WPMU takes care of everything.
One username will be able to comment on all blogs (provided they’re logged in).
Installing bbPress and integrating it with WPMU will also take care of single sign-on.
FYI, I would install in the following order: WPMU > BP > bbPress.
Also, I’ve never used Gigya.
In reply to: where can i find the codeHey Baraber,
Use this piece of code:
<?php bp_last_activity() ?>In reply to: For those still using 2.7.1Thanks Jason!
I think you’re right, DJPaul.
Was late last night when I replied to that!
Follow DJPaul’s suggestion, jorrie!
Since this is more of a WPMU issue than a Buddypress one, like I mentioned in the other thread you made, you might want to consult the nice folks over at mu.wordpress.org/forums/.
Login with the same username and password and make a post there.
In reply to: BuddyPress and wpMU, some expert advice neededRe #3 – Your blogs will stay intact. Buddypress will create a few components called groups and forums (if you have bbPress installed). Groups can be configured by users or admins. BP forums are a part of groups.
Re #5 – There’s a few forum threads about integration and a couple of guides floating around the net.
The next version of Buddypress is scheduled to be released next week (August 11), but I won’t be surprised if they push it back a few weeks since there’s a lot of new stuff being implemented.
Right now, if you want a tight integration, you’ll have to theme WPMU and BuddyPress at the very least. There’s no way around it.
Re #6:
Groupblog plugin – https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/new-groupblog-plugin#post-19344
– It’s still in development… I would just test this for now
Community Blogs for BuddyPress – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-community-blogs/
– A revision was made by Boone Gorges available here – hxxp://dev.commons.gc.cuny.edu/files/2009/07/bp-community-blogs.zip (change hxxp to http)
– I’ve been meaning to test this, but haven’t yet
Keep in mind that these plugins would give a group a blog, but not a forum for each blog like you want… both have a different way of achieving this method.
The groupblog plugin would be more tightly integrated, whereas the “Community Blogs” plugin provisions group members to an existing WPMU blog.
In reply to: This buddypress forum theme & 1 forum PER blog?Nope, not available.
This question has been mentioned many times.
As for the second question, right now, you can’t have one forum per blog (unless you manually set it up in bbPress). Sounds like a future plugin to me!
In reply to: BuddyPress and wpMU, some expert advice needed1) With WPMU and a user account, you can comment on any blog (provided you’re logged in)
2) This is possible… that page is a template file, so you could customize that with whatever you want.
3) If you already have users blogging on WPMU, BuddyPress will detect these user’s blogs (I’m quite sure BP detects them!). BP groups and forums build off of WPMU’s userbase; groups being a BP thing and forums being a BP/bbPress thing. So when you install BP, your users will have to configure their groups and forums from scratch.
4) Not sure on this one. There’s an option in WPMU to disable blog registration, but if you do that I think it will disable blog registration sitewide. This would be a better question for the WPMU forums.
5) BuddyPress does indeed utilize bbPress for forum functionality. The next version of BP will make it easy to integrate with. Right now, it still requires some grunt work.
You say want a forum for each blog? That’s a little overkill… but something like this can be accomplished with groups and a BP plugin (Marius Ooms’ groupblog plugin or Burt Adsit’s BP Community Blog plugin)
6) Yes you can list all blogs on a page using a WPMU function.
Hope that helps!
In reply to: How to access home page while using another themeHey pollyplummer,
I replied to a similar post:
But you have the right idea!
In reply to: How to get a section identifier in the body tag?Since you’re using conditionals, I would comment out the following in your body class function:
$c[] = $bp->current_component; //outputs current component
$c[] = $bp->current_action; // outputs current actionTo know what component or action you’re on, I would output that info in your bp member theme header.php.
global $bp;
echo 'type: '.$bp->current_component; //outputs current component
echo '<br />';
echo 'action:'.$bp->current_action; // outputs current actionThen you can clearly define your conditionals in your body class function… the rest is up to you!
In reply to: How to get a section identifier in the body tag?You can change $c[] = ‘members’ to whatever you want!
if ( $bp->current_component == 'activity' )
$c[] = 'my-damn-activity';Totally up to you!
