What assumption did you make in my directions that were not correct? Just trying to understand how everyone interprets things. Getting forums integrated seems like a simple task, but it really can be a pain for so many people! As well, cookie integration is a nice thing to do *after* getting this working since it complicates things in my opinion due to the massive amount of information coming at you even without getting into cookies….

I think this should work if you create a new file called change-to-news.php and put the contents in it and then drop it in your /mu-plugins/ folder:

<?php



function change_to_news() {

return 'news';

}



add_filter( 'bp_home_blog_slug', 'change_to_news' );



?>

Hold on…that might now work. Looking now.

Those are just the standard entries required for WP, not specific to BP at all. Just need the .htaccess file, nothing has to be done with htaccess.dist at all

To get the theme that you want all users to have, just make the theme you want the default WPMU theme. This can be done by naming the folder of your theme “default” or looking at a plugin like this plugin.

To get all the widgets that you want in there, It would be best to actually hardcode the widgets you want into the theme itself. If you look at the code of certain themes that do this already, it shows you how to do that. Then, finally if you don’t want users to be able to change around widgets, there is a plugin that limits what menu’s users can see, but don’t have the link off hand. You will have to search for that one.

That is what I would do anyways!

WordPress allows you to subscribe to the wp_head filter to add things through plugins to your site. More information is found here on that. An example of this in use would be looking at this one even though it is a little different than you are looking for, but gives idea how to do it.

Really, you create a little plugin to put in your /mu-plugins/ folder that has a function that adds the stylesheet to the wordpress header of every page. Then you subscribe that function to the wp_head filter.

Short answer, it was written to use anything other than the main WPMU install domain. Even though the MSM plugin allows you to almost run “additional” WPMU instances (virtual), the plugin suite doesn’t work that way. You would have to actually create another install for social.domain.com and run BP or hack the code up which I am sure would be a wreck. Don’t think there is an easy way around this one I am afraid.

Nice to see you found that DJPaul! Good stuff!

The buddypress home them you mean? Just treat it like any other theme and put in an RSS widget to display your feed. Since the member theme isn’t editable in the admin, it requires more, but the buddypress home theme doesn’t.

Trent

[@trent Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

It is just a WPMU plugin that adds the code to every page, not theme specific so it works with BP as well.

Trent

[@trent Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

The entire content for members pages is from the member theme itself. Without knowing what your specific question would be, the README for the member themes (creating your own) is a nice start to figuring out where the content comes from:

There are already 2 products from a premium.wpmudev.org that do this, but they are not free.

[@trent Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

Not sure why, but your register page is showing as:

http://nishinomiya.jp/ebi/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://nishinomiya.jp/ebi/ebi/register

http://nishinomiya.jp/ebi/ebi/register when it should be:

http://nishinomiya.jp/ebi/register

It does work if you hit:

http://nishinomiya.jp/ebi/wp-signup.php

Not sure if it was the translation that screwed up your URL. Never saw that before. Anyone else have anything to add?

If you look through my sticky post in at the top of these forums, there are links to other people’s integration guides as well throughout the thread.

It was a huge deal to get the multi-db plugin to be honest The only other project out there that has a chance so far would be the HyperDB plugin from Automattic. It gives you the chance to use replication as well as split databases up, but doesn’t come with an automatic blog selection by hash or anything out of the box. I personally am dealing with the huge single database until 2.8 is released.

bp-blogs/bp-blogs-widgets.php

Line 30:

<?php _e("Site Wide", 'buddypress') ?>

Most of the widgets are in the parent directory of their widget. Some of the core plugins are in the bp-core folder.

Good to know! Changed the title so that people can find it quicker knowing it is a solution and not a question.

Specific plugins that work with WPMU or not should be discussed in their forums and BP issues here.

No, it can be tested by downloading the WPMU Branch of 2.7. It is not in trunk.

@joalbright could you login to https://trac.buddypress.org/ and add this as a ticket using the login from this forum?

Trent

[@trent Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

In terms of the navigation? You would have to edit the header.php of both the buddypress-home theme and the buddypress member theme to change the order as I don’t think the filter works for position for a plugin.

Trent

[@trent Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

Best bet if you find a bug or an enhancement would be to post it on http://trac.buddypress.org with your login from these forums. It might not be known yet and the reporting might help get it fixed.
