Im confused, so I need to create a plug-in. I tried adding the following code to a file named “bp-custom.php” and then dropped into my plug-ins folder and got a error.on all my pages
Then I tried to drop that same file into buddypress and it didnt work.
Solution: lol its was just to rename the file to buddypress-(file name).po but thanks for the help
@thelandman, I’ve generated the mo file, now where do I put it? I think you asked the same question in another thread that wasn’t answered so hopefully u have the answer 
?
Edit: Lol, was checking your profile, so u from CT, im in JHB 
Reading over the tut again, do I have to change anything in the bp-custom.php cause I just copied it strait from the tut:
<?php define( 'BPLANG', 'mysite' );
if ( file_exists( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ ) ) {
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ );
}
?>
@anointed – There is no audio chat! It’s all text. What you read is what actually happened.
WP 3.0 isn’t even out of the gate yet; when WP 3 actually gets released, we’ll see where Andy and the core devs take it.

@modemlooper – if you check out what the BP Wiki component does, it already uses custom post types (it’s a development version). So custom post types for BP is possible via plugins. However, for the core (as stated above), it’s whatever the dev team decides.
@vee_bee please let us know if u manage
@r-a-y
I couldn’t make it to the chat today, but I just read through the thread. What I couldn’t find was the reasons for using pages instead of post_types. Were those listed off on the audio portion or something?
I’ve spent the last month digging really deep into post_types, and while I don’t have a strong background in bp structure, post_types seems like the perfect fit for bp. Would you kindly give us some of the pro’s/con’s of pages vs types and why the decision was made? Maybe it would help many of us to understand the bp structure and direction in the future a little better.
@troy I started looking at the notifucations and invites, got part of it working.
But other projects have taken priority. I will be back to it soon though
@Boone Gorges – thanks for putting me on the right track. I’m still not getting it right. Forgive me if this is really wonky:
So I’m in the edit.php file and after this part:
if ( bp_has_profile( ‘profile_group_id=’ . bp_get_current_profile_group_id() ) ) : while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group();
I have added the following:
if ( bp_the_profile_group_name() == ‘personal’ && get_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, ‘114’ ) ) {
( bp_has_profile( ‘profile_group_id=1,3,4’ ) ) : while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group();
}
The 114 is the meta_value for personal selection in the profile field wherein I ask them to select Personal, Business, or Artist. The profile group name ‘personal’ is one of the field groups that applies only to ‘personal’ accounts. (<- definitely not sure if I'm doing that right)
I’m thinking I have a few things out of order…
@Richard Venable
Thanks, did you drop that in the CSS file?
@gwu123 – I didn’t add that, and currently I don’t see any problems with the theme. Can you tell me what happens if I don’t add that? Thanks
This is how I did it on my site: (it just prevents BP from registering the widgets)
// Remove buddypress widgets from blogs other than the main blog
function hide_bp_widgets() {
if (!is_main_blog()) remove_all_actions(‘bp_register_widgets’);
}
add_action(‘plugins_loaded’, ‘hide_bp_widgets’, 1); // Has to run before bp_setup_widgets()
BuddyPress is overkill.
You want to use a front-end posting plugin. There are a bunch of them out there.
Here’s one thread:

Make sure your users have a WP role of Contributor or higher:

@r-a-y , hello again, I was also wondering if there is a similar way to disable/remove the favoriting of posts,activity, etc…
Such a discussion was briefly brought up by @sbrajesh today on the dev chat.
BP components will be full-on pages in BP 1.3.
However, there are currently no plans to implement custom post types for BP components.
Add the following snippet to your theme’s functions.php:
http://pastebin.com/Jpc9GnAx (updated)
This will disable RSS feeds in BP.
You’ll also have to manually get rid of the RSS feed buttons.
There are two ways to go about this.
1. Use CSS to hide the RSS buttons
2. Remove the RSS feed buttons via a child theme
Hi @becca37.
(a) Yes, that’s what “kick and ban” does. I used that terminology because that’s what’s built into BP. It just means that removed members cannot reapply for membership (I think). I could probably build something that simply removed a member from a group. Maybe in the next version.
Blog roles were removed because of performance:

In the interim, tell them to go to the WP dashboard, or you can try using a front-end posting plugin.
@livingcminca .. are you talking about on your profile here, at buddypress.org? If so … I’m experiencing a similar issue. When I try to change my avatar I browse to select the image, click upload and am taken to a white screen, and that’s that. Hopefully it’s something that the admins here are aware of and will be fixing soon. 
@nuprn1 Thanks much … not quite what I’m looking for but as you say could be helpful in the interim
@boonebgorges Sweet thanks! That thread looks like it’ll give me a starting point. Oh and I’m just about to post a “Desired” one that’s related rather more directly to you Group Management plugin. ~
That is what i’ve done:
1) downloaded plugin, and copy it to serwer to “wp-content/plugins”
2) activate plugin

And next happen that:

translation “You do not have sufficient permissions to enter this site.”
I have no access to dashboard.
Everytime i want to go to wp-admin it’s the same problem.
I’ve tired to install buddypress on 2 different hostings.
The same issues
not ideal… but may help for the time being (at least get to the buddypress profile page to perform the edits)
this will add a ‘view bp’ link to the buddypress profile when viewing the user list within the dashboard
