BuddyPress must be installed site wide.
Thanks for the reply Paul.
Do you know how can I go about telling a non-BP template page that I want it to display a BP user’s data?
Basically, I’ve copied the code from ‘members/single/home.php’ into a non-BP template file, but none of the user data is appearing. Having compared ‘home.php’ with my non-BP template file there’s no difference in the code, so there’s obviously something happening elsewhere to specify which pages are BP pages.
Sorry if I’m not making much sense, it’s hard to explain…
Why not just use moderators?
do you think its also possible to sticky groups. itll provide a way to have high priority groups shown in the first few rows.
I’m using WP version 3.1.1 and buddypress version 1.2.9 , here’s the link on the initial screenshot of the wire? or activity updates… waaa… i dunno… please help me… 
i need to remove the following…

i hope you can help me with my problems… thank you so much T_T
does anyone have any thoughts on this? Even if just expanding how buddy press does roles? Currently, it only allows 3-4 (i forgot) roles, what if we wanted to expand this with the flexibility of Role Scoper?
It’s a little hard to diagnose without a link as could be a few things but let’s see about some common ones first.
– have you changed your perm links at all?
– are you using a plugin that has changed them / what happens when you remove all plugins aside from BuddyPress? Does it work then?
– does the members page actually exist?
If none of those apply a link and if that’s not possible more information like version, theme and plugins would help drill down to the problem.

@pcwriter, you are a star, thumb up. it now fire on.
works great
thanks
@modemlooper thanks for the advice.
I am using the plugin link code you gave me, thank you here’s the link to verify:
https://github.com/modemlooper/buddypress-group-fields/tree/master/buddypress-group-fields
I see thtat its saving in the groupmeta table in the database but when i go to look at it in the group details itself it doesn’t show anything in those fields. Not to mention I need for it to be searchable. Please let me know what i can do to help to make this something that the community can use. I’m a quick learner ( i think hehe).
Any ideas how to solve that? have a look yourself http://www.caradacapoeira.com
@alfredojp do not do that, you should be only saving group stuff to groupmeta and not creating your own db inserts.
I’ve changed some of the code from Boone’s example so if you are not using the plugin link code could be the reason it isn’t saving.
You’re going to have to do a few edits like this:
div#content .padder {
margin-left: 225px;
}
div#sidebar {
float: left;
width: 224px;
margin-right: -226px;
}
div#content {
float: right;
width: 100%;
}
You’ve caused this difficulty for yourself, really. Unfortunately I cannot do much other than suggest you set up a test site and re-implement all your changes onto a new 1.2.8 using custom plugins to customise the hooks and filters. And then switch that clean version of BuddyPress, and then you’ll be in a good position to upgrade to BP 1.5.
@djpaul l wouldn’t upgrade because I’ve edited many files so if I upgrade I’ve to edit them all a second time, also I’m using many plugins that are not compatible with 1.5
I didn’t install it on a live site, so I am not risking anything , I am not a programmer so I try to help at least by testing, on my opinion this feature (groups custom fields ) is one of the most important features to most of Buddypress users, so thanks both Boone and Modemlooper for trying to help us.
I can’t thank you enough @modemlooper and @boonebgorges you have also been super helpful. I really have no need for the links so i took out line 9 all together and that error disappeared. I did however realize that when i create the group the information apart fromt he URL doesn’t stay saved and the all the information goes to a table int he database for group metadata. What do you think about a conditional statement that says if (first time run) then alter table wp-groups to add in more fields and then a good old INSERT INTO.
else
just an INSERT INTO (wp-roups)
what do you think about that?
Jamie and I ended up talking about this on Twitter. For anyone who finds this later, bbPress 1.x adds custom roles and capabilities to WordPress. BuddyPress doesn’t use these, but when you install BP 1.0-1.2.9 and activate group forums, it installs a version of bbPress for you.
BuddyPress has no externally accessible APIs. You’d have to create your own bridge, which may or may not be very complicated depending on what exactly you need out of it.
Most should work fine. The displayed_username functions, however, are only set when you are visiting a page that displays a user — this is usually a member profile. If you use it on a blog post, for example, you’ll get no value from it.
Are you using the setting to not cache for logged in users?
The code that I posted above was written for a very specific installation. It was nice of @modemlooper to make it into a plugin, but it’s not really ready to be used widely. It’s meant to be used as a model for building something specific for your own site.
The problem goes away if I disable page caching in W3TC but I’m not sure this is a satisfactory solution as the performance benefit of caching the pages is lost. More a temporary workaround than a fix.
