Thanks Sarah for writing this and making it available.
Ok, so I went back to this because it’s need in our site… I got most of it to work:
#1. is fixed by pulling this code in the add-on to the functions.php
//show blogs search result
function bpmag_show_blogs_search(){
?>
<?php
}
//Hook Blogs results to search page if blogs comonent is active
if(bp_is_active( 'blogs' ))
add_action("advance-search","bpmag_show_blogs_search",10);
#2 DOES work… something wrong with something I did when I tested it.
#3 Does NOT work despite reading through and trying a number of things a the DEV site.

I posted on the site to get some help.. if/when I get an answer I repost here…
I think my style is better. Even if buddypress is enabled, I can still control it from the theme option page- what to display
Paul,
Oh! Much of that looks like features that are currently now built in to WordPress MU. To be honest, I just realized today that I never updated my BuddyPress blog to the newest version. I checked out some of the new features, and it looks like many of them work exactly like Multisite does. So I guess there is a way… just 1.5 months ago, there wasn’t exactly as simple of a way as there is now.
My apologies for bothering you with this newbie nonsense! But thank you very much for your response. (:

Have a look through https://buddypress.org/community/groups/localization/forum/topic/organizing-translations/
If you only want to change contents of the notification emails, you could see if Welcome Pack does what you want.
I don’t think they’re part of the language files, but you should be able to use this plugin to do the translations: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/welcome-pack/
Awesome!!! Thanks @ggholic!
1.5 month bump,
To clarify, I want to have multiple instances of BuddyPress, i.e. https://pirate.buddypress.org/ and https://ninja.buddypress.org/, each their own site, however both with the same login and profile screens, if possible.
Is this possible? Thanks community. (:
Best,
Weasel
Thanks everyone for testing it! If you’re having strange issues with your theme, then it’s probably something to do with your theme. I have made sure that it works with the default theme, but beyond that you may need to make some tweaks for your particular situation. I’ve also updated the plugin in recent days to display better quality avatars, as well as not to require any additions to your template in the install instructions, and a couple other minor things. I’m still waiting on the WordPress repo to give me approval for adding it over there. Once I get that, I’ll drop a note here so you can update to the latest version.
Please comment on the trac covering this error: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2456
1. False. We get it everyday in our bug tracker.
2. BuddyPress.org and testbp.org see substantial traffic, and our showcase includes other high traffic BuddyPress powered sites.
3. BuddyPress.org is powered by the trunk version of BuddyPress, and could easily be powered by any 1.2+ version with only modifications to allow it to run on the shared .org space.
4. BuddyPress is operated in a similar fashion as WordPress, and has the complete support of the core contributing team of WordPress. That’s actually a good thing.
5. BuddyPress uses the same license as WordPress does. That’s another good thing.

Thanks @nuprn1. It works like a charm!!!
Thanks @nuprn1
Works with one problem. On the home page activity and member activity, the post to drop down only displays “My Profile” and not the groups you are admin at all.
Edit: admins of the site can see their groups in the dropdown but not members even if they are admins of a group
@nuprn1 I have added your code to the post-form but now only Administrators of the site can add updates to the group. Not any Group admins.

@Jalien, I committed Gradebook component in latest svn revision. You might want to take a look.
Create an assignment and you should have access to its gradebook instantly.
have a look at @boonebgorges plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-external-activity/ and you could modify that to attach to usermeta vs groupmeta
We’re going to try to locate the language files in a better place for 1.3; I suggest you take a look through https://trac.buddypress.org/; if you can’t find a ticket for this valid suggestion already, make a new one, thanks 
No, I’m sorry; this post is flamebait. You have some genuine points, and hnla has replied to some, but I would suggest you write in a less confrontational style, or take it to your own blog. It is doing you no favours on here.
thanks mercime went off for the link but got distracted.
12,000 members is a fairly large site and by the looks of things there is a fair amount of current activity.
Not sure I understand your last paragraph I don’t necessarily find your ‘Statements’ hostel yet they do come across as written by someone who is aggrieved in some fashion. Is the intent here to open debate? Recently there have been lengthy threads running on these points you raise and as much as I don’t intend to overly moderate this thread I also do not see a huge amount of value in it at this time. The project doesn’t attempt to stifle criticism as observed in recent threads, however telling moderators that they mustn’t moderate otherwise they ought not to be moderators is never going to go down well on any forum and is too an extent slightly hostile
There is a fair degree of concern over the direction and progression of BP and there are significant moves afoot to rectify this by the senior mod team and unofficial secondary tier of core developers.
1. It may feel that way and I have possibly felt this in the past but it’s not really true, healthy constructive criticism is welcomed and is taken on board.
2. Not sure of the point you are trying to make here? That BP isn’t able to handle large volume sites? I don’t think that’s true at all, BP will mature and you will see bigger sites starting to use it – case in point might be the ‘The Telegraph’ who now run a BP installation for their community and that does have a pretty large member base.
3. Developers are concerned very much with getting this site up and running fully and that is underway at this moment, please check out the BuddyPress Ninjas group, everyone is more than aware there are issues with the site at present and these are being rectified. As for the version of the site it Will run the current stable release as far as I’m aware.
4. And your point is? BP is run in the same fashion as WP. How independent do you expect it to be? Automattic back BP and employ the lead developer as for controlling BP I would say no more than they control WP. At the moment there is little interference from Automattic the project is headed by the two lead developers and a secondary team of equally experienced developers along with the larger community who all have access to Trac to help notify bugs found, add and test patches and move BP forward.
5. It is Open Source though! is not the GNU an open source license? Regardless this is what BP is released under and to open up discussions on this subject are just likely to go back and fourth debating an issue that is somewhat a moot point.
There is not a huge amount of value to be gained going over these points many of which have been covered recently, lets try and focus on positives and get the project moving forward at a healthy pace, direct our energies in a positive manner. I’m all for debate but think that we have had quite a bit recently and don’t really see a value in debating issues that may well be out of our control.
@Travel-Junkie, nice hack, worth to be posted on the codex. But where do we put that, bp-custom?
