Not quite sure how to go about that to be honest. A walk through available somewhere you could point me to?
@mercime
the first blog is wp 2.9.1, other, not working, is 2.9.2 and bp 1.2.4.1. the second one is installed in a separate folder.
@Kayze87
did you delete it from the first blog? i can’t really delete anything from the fist blog, where i’m also using a shopp plugin
@Nick Watson: Sorry for using the thread but I still haven’t figured out how to add new navigation items to the admin bar. I would for example like to add WP categories and some hard coded links in the admin bar. How do I do?
An index.html is fine, just go to http://yoursite.com/index.php to reach front page. Bad thing is that if someone knows your site is WP/BP, they would just go to http://yoursite.com/members , /groups/ or /about/ and they could see the pages if you’ve enabled the components.
Maintenance Mode plugin works with WP/MU/BP. Thing is, it interferes with media uploads via BP plugins like BP Gallery or BP Album but it doesn’t interfere with media uploads via Post/Page panel. Good thing with this is that even if outsiders try to access site via http://yoursite.com/members etc, they won’t be able see the page/s and get redirected back to Maintenance Mode front page.
Thanks for the reply.
I know how to disable buddypress components, my bigger question is how to display everything in the wordpress backend (which I see you asked about at the end of your reply). The reason that I want to do this is because I have several other user related tasks integrated into the backend, and I want buddypress there as well (mostly just for uniformity).

Hi-
Exact same thing with me! I understand how to change but absolutely nothing will take effect.
I was changing the files in the bp_template-pack folder but you actually need to change the files (for example the first one in step 3) here:
/wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/activity/index.php
Took me to reading step 3, 50 times before this was apparent- not sure if this is what was happening to you but this was my problem.. anyways hope that helps…
@themeanwhile – you can enable or disable the various components so if you want Activities only, enable that and disable other components. After you activate BuddyPress, go to the new BuddyPress menu item on the left column of dashboard, and go to
a) General Settings – these are your choices
Base profile group name:
Full Name field name:
Disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing?: Yes No
Hide admin bar for logged out users?: Yes No
Disable avatar uploads? (Gravatars will still work): Yes No
Disable user account deletion?: Yes No
Disable global forum directory?: Yes No
Disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts?: Yes No
Default User Avatar – For users without a custom avatar of their own, you can either display a generic logo or a generated one based on their email address
b) Component Setup
Activity Streams – Allow users to post activity updates and track all activity across the entire site.
Enabled Disabled
Blog Tracking – Tracks blogs, blog posts and blogs comments for a user across a WPMU installation.
Enabled Disabled
bbPress Forums – Activates bbPress forum support within BuddyPress groups or any other custom component.
Enabled Disabled
Friends – Allows the creation of friend connections between users.
Enabled Disabled
Groups – Let users create, join and participate in groups.
Enabled Disabled
Private Messaging – Let users send private messages to one another. Site admins can also send site-wide notices.
Enabled Disabled
Extended Profiles – Activates customizable profiles and avatars for site users.
Enabled Disabled
I would suggest you set up a test install so you can check the features for yourself.
“Of course, activity filters, profile page, friends page, settings page, etc, would also need to be migrated to display in the backend.”
Why? If you want to make the BP Activity section private, you can add conditional tags for is_user_logged_in …
@jon, try this in your child theme’s css:
#wp-admin-bar {
top:inherit;
bottom:0;
}
you still have to change the drop down menu to rise up though. But it is a start….

Anyone? I have spent a couple days scouring the internet for someone else who has done this. Who can help?
I try to install on WPSU 2.9.2, just curios to know if it could working with WPSU, but it wont works, because it was created for WPMU, im using WPSU 2.9.2+BP 1.2.4.1 now, and I am looking for similar plugin like quickpress that will works with WPSU..
does anyone have any ideas?
I did a unified search hack … reckon thats what caused it to crash on deactivating.
@mercime thanks for answering.
i know that. but i am talking about other widgets that populate the dashboard; besides and below the “quick press” widget. is there a way to remove those widgets/boxes?
Ah, I see. I’ve never noticed it before so did not think it was a bug. Thanks @r-a-y for bringing that to my attention.
@parkstreet – Gotcha!
Looks like this issue has been reported:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2415
@r-a-y Cool, thanks. Many thanks also for addressing ticket #2427 
Thank you Javier.
@apeatling I know you must be swamped but if you get a chance, can you update the screenshots for hMAG within the showcase section of the site. Unfortunately, there’s been so many updates and upgrades on the hMAG site that it no longer resembles that old screenshot
Hi all again.
I’ve been googling and googling over this issue and I’ve partially found a solution. You can download this plugin: http://wpmu.org/create-a-better-community-experience-with-the-new-buddypress-friends-only-activity-stream-plugin/ there and you’ll find some more links, also. We have a problem, though. This piece of code will actually filter all non-friend updates, including OWN updates, and comments on them, what’s pretty bad. I’ve been chasing its author over tweeter and his own blog (poor thing), but I have not had an answer so far. He claims to have fixed this, but it still filters own updates on my installation. Feel free to check it out and to answer here (PLEASE).
Regards,
Federico
@mercime – Just looked into this bug… and found the problem! Check out ticket #2431.
Try it on a test database, but if you upgrade to WP3.0. Then, you can just convert from single WP to multisite WP. I could be wrong, but I think that this should transfer all your data and preserve your old path (which is good for SEO, etc).
Like I said test it, but I’m interested to know if this works or not too. It will help me decide with this new BP install I’m doing if I should go with WPMU from the start or just WP.
Of course, this also would require you to move to WP 3.0 (which is currently in RC1).
@jujunkie should you encounter the bug which @r-a-y mentioned above, do this

Hi,
Could you send me your release please ?
Thnaks !
coulon.guillaume ‘at’ gmail.com
@mercime Not sooner? 
Good to see it in there even if it says 1.4+ which can mean any version after 1.4. Thanks for pointing to it.
@ffemtkl Thanks for the info
“I see on buddypress.org that they have a search box that works well and has a nice results page breaking up the sections where your search term is featured. I would like to have that functionality on my BP site”
Sitewide Unified Search Plugin by @sbrajesh
It’ll be good to go through the tutorial, but if you want the plugin asap, it’s at the bottom of the post.
