BuddyPress.org

@wordpresschina – Thanks for the suggestion, this is exactly what I was looking for. I really do not understand one thing. Why when someone wants to register they get redirected to the Buddypress version of the registration, but when someone wants to login they go to the standard WP login page? Maybe there is something wrong with my install

Unfortunately, I am importing very basic information so I am not having the same issues as you. The only “special” info I am importing is for s drop down selecting menu. It should be noted that it does not force matching, meaning if the field requires 1 – 10 and the CSV file has 12, it will import the 12. The import only really matches up the columns. FYI… if you type something wrong in the top row like Website instead of “company website” the import will actually create a new xprofile field.

Hope this helps (or at least answers some questions.

Global Forums plugin just released today at Buddydev. Looks ossum!

Introducing Global sitewide forums plugin for Buddypress

@nipponmonkey: I tried your solution above, but now all my pages are blank and nothing is visible… I added it directly to my functions.php and changed/added absolutely nothing. Did I make an error?

I just recently installed wordpress mu and everything worked, I am still able to access the dashboard through my blog: globalinx-itc.com/Study, however if I try to do anything now after I installed buddypress, for example add a new group or click on anything on the front page, I receive object not found 404 error.

Can you please help me and see if there is something I am doing wrong?

Thank you so much,

JOe

@danhay – It’s disabled, but you can still edit it! (it’s kind of a hack!)

Make sure you’re logged in to the WP admin area, then go to:
http://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-profile-setup&group_id=1&field_id=1&mode=edit_field

Change example.com to your website address.

Cool.

Thanks @mydesignbytes. Just what I was looking for!

Kickstarter seems really awesome, but, you have to have an American bank account to set up a project. A lot of BuddyPress plugin authors, myself included, seem to be based outside America. I’ve not found any European alternatives.

@ikazet just to clarify .. when you say blogs in the same server, the first blog WP 2.9.1 is in http://www.siteA.com/ and the second blog is WP 2.9.2 with BP in http://www.siteB.com/ or is 2nd blog in separate folder that’s a subdirectory like http://www.siteA.com/secondWPinstall/?

If you install a second WP in subdirectory where there is also WP at root of domain, make sure that the name of subdirectory folder (or URL path) doesn’t conflict with something else in your main site at root. e.g. If you have a page in root named labs as in http://siteA.com/portfolio/ do not name the folder where you installed 2nd WP “portfolio”.

Yay, this is exciting news. Like Jim, I’m also interested to read a set of simple steps.
Woohoo!

@dmcdmc – You’ll have to manually upgrade to BP 1.1.3 before upgrading to BP 1.2.4.1.

Read this guide:

Could anyone explain why BuddyPress forces username to be in lowercase / numbers only? When creating WordPress users, we can add uppercase, hyphens… So why does BuddyPress have this limitation, and how can it be removed?
Thks

Thanks for your explanation @themeanwhile

“have you heard of anyone else trying this?”
Bring front end applications to backend – No.
It’s the other way around – bring everything from the backend to the front end so that users won’t need to access the back end at all especially where BP is installed.e.g. writing posts in front end via BP/Jet Quickpress, uploading media in front end via BP Gallery/Album, adding events in front via Event plugin etc. Therefore, yes as you noted at the beginning, you would need a BuddyPress wiz to create a plugin which will enable you to have the specs you want for the Activity part.

@chrismitchell You will only see the menu if you use WordPress MU.

I tried using the bp-custom.php file in the wp-content/plugins/ folder, but I could not get it to work.

Could anyone upload an example version of this that I could tinker with to fit my needs?

My problem is I am running WordPress 3.0 RC1, with WPMU and Buddypress installed. Avatars work on the main blog, but not on sub-blogs, so I need to figure this out. For the sub-blogs only the Mystery Man appears.

try this (same principal)

@yocalif

You could try this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-coming-soon-page/

It has options to allow visitors to subscribe via email, link to your Twitter/Facebook pages, launch date countdown…

@ffemtkl – to customize those emails, what about trying this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/new-user-email-set-up/

When you were importing info, were you importing checkbox data? That was alsop problematic for me and I have no idea what format I should prepare that data so it goes in nicely….
