I have found many different pages on setting up the .htaccess and mod_rewrite.so, however none of them seemed to work. As far as the perms go I gave everything 777 in the blog directory to eliminate the ftp as the source of the problem. It still hasn’t worked.
Here is what I have been doing. 1) follow instructions to setup .htaccess and mod_rewrite. 2) setup perms 3) if still not working give 777 to everything. 4) if still not working restore image and start over. 5) do this until you run out of instructions 6) ask for help.
If anyone has any instruction to setup .htaccess and mod_rewrite and vsftpd I will try them. I have tried all that I can find on the web so far.
can you see the default /about/ page that was created?
If not, mod_rewrite is not reading the htaccess file.
Have you a working .htaccess file? mod_rewrite.so installed and enabled? Groups/Owner perms set up correctly to allow necessary file / directories to be read / written to?
First (and at the moment, the only one) for me is BP-Gallery (www.buddydev.com) – it’s a premium plugin with lots of possibilities and it’s worth the money you have to pay for.
Another opportunity will be (in march, the developers say) BP-Media (Bp-Album+), you can find it here: http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/
At the moment the stable version doesn’t support Audio, but you can play around with the nightly build.
Greets!
@SVC How do I register the widget? And does the bp-custom.php need to be in a specific folder?
The answer depends on your site’s goals and visitors. An option is to consider the bbpress plugin that will be released soon (https://trac.bbpress.org/browser#branches/plugin).
It happens on both custom and default themes.
@odiggy That fixed it thank you so much!
The buddypress forums are actually bbpress wired. They are mainly the same concept so yes.
Go to the Bpckeditor Plugin Group and Ask for support there: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bpckeditor/
What is your theme? Custom or Default?
@dwenaus, the code above gives me duplicate topics, as well as topics misplaced in different groups.
@dwenaus Great code.
Quick question, would it be possible to show it in the activity tab, regardless of tab? Currently it only shows if using the “My Groups”.
Thanks mate. 
Both of them are something quite necessary for expand the buddypress experience.
@modemlooper
Very cool idea!
Should cut down on the copy/paste/link/embed routine and open up a whole world of sharing possibilities.
And I agree about the badge plugin. Do you know if anyone has stepped up with an offer to continue development?
Excellent. Thank you all. I will check those out.
You can get all that working on the BP registration form.
The requiring x amount of numbers for a password can be done with JavaScript
No, like a browser bookmarklet so when you are on say YouTube to click bookmarklet it opens small window to post an update with video in update.
Though that badge plugin should be kept alive
@adamrice I switched to Suffusion.
@modemlooper Please see my second post. I’ll use the BP registration if it’s the easier way to get that functionality.
@modemlooper
You mean, kinda like the Buddypress Badge plugin that seems to have died a slow death?
Just curious, what is the reason to use WP registration?
what theme did you switch to?
I created the buddypress share plugin and this is something on my roadmap for the plugin.
