Ah, I know why. The code only generates the drop down if my-forums.php does not exist. I’ll have to figure out another way to trigger the drop-down generation.
How do I enable registration using an existing theme but I have added buddypress and buddypress template pack and I don’t see where to enable registration so people can register and post. How do I set up my theme so people can register and not using the wordpress screen but another form and can also post? This is urgent.
I deactivated BuddyPress Forums Extras and still no change.
Mind you, the “fopen(/home/domains/mysite.com/www_root/bp/wp-content/plugins/…………..” error now appears in the freshness column in the Group Forums Directory.
@3sixty
my-forums.php wasn’t generated so I created one, set it to 666, the error went away but I don’t have a drop-down box.
Also, I had a look at my-forums.php file and it’s empty.
Update: I changed the file’s permissions to 777 (out of curiosity), deactivated and reactivated the plugin but to no avail, nothing in the file.
I just had a thought, I’m also using BuddyPress Forums Extras, do you think there might be some incompatibility?
It would be great for the site admin to move topics in whatever forum he chooses, whether he’s the group admin/moderator or not.
I think it should be set up to work this way, actually – is it not working for your site admin user?
hmm,… the script is supposed to generate a “my-forums.php” file. I may need to include a prepackaged “my-forums.php” with the right permissions set.
Can you look in the plugin directory and tell me if there is a my-forums.php file there, and if so, what are its permissions? Can you try setting it to 666 and see if it works? If it does not exist, could you manually create a file with that name in the plugin directory and set its permissions to 666?
If this is all greek, I can put up an updated version. Just let me know if the file is there or not, if you can.
Oops, got the following error when I visited a forum:
Warning: fopen(/home/domains/mysite.com/www_root/bp/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-forums-move-topic/my-forums.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/domains/mysite.com/www_root/bp/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-forums-move-topic/buddypress-forums-move-topic.php on line 109
can’t open file
Also:
Currently OK for mods/admins to move topic to a forum where they are NOT a mod/admin; may provide “permissions restriction” feature if there is demand
It would be great for the site admin to move topics in whatever forum he chooses, whether he’s the group admin/moderator or not.
Cool, I’ll give it a try…
Thanks much for the help. Unfortunately I’m still kind’a over my head.
My installation is a much modified Atahualpa theme (single-user WP), integrating with BP via the BuddyPress Template Pack.
After trying it with frustrating partial success (many menu items redirect to home page) I’ve read Atahualpa cannot work with BP. I’ve also read some claiming to have made it work.
Anyhow — I’ll look into the functions.php. Thanks again.

OK, some weird behavior right out of the gate. When you delete a BuddyPress Group, the Forum doesn’t get deleted. Not sure I want to file this as a bug on trac… as it seems like a good fallback for admins who accidentally hit the prominently placed “Delete Group” drop-down.
In any case, if you delete a Group called “Widgets”, it will leave a zombie Forum item called “Widgets” in the drop down that you can’t get rid of through manually rebuilding the drop-down file.
So it seems like the only way around this is to compare wp_bb_forums to wp_bp_groups and only add an option item where there is a corresponding id/forum_id.
if your running a live site, i strongly suggest NOT to use 3.0 with 1.2.3!!!
wait for final versions from both WP and BP before upgrading.
it’s the safest thing to do
cheers,

Wish List/Future Plans (continued)
- “Stick it anywhere” function – so you can customize it to your theme. I couldn’t figure out how to say “if the user has already stuck this code in their theme, don’t load the default drop-down.” If anyone has done something like that before, let me know the best way to code that.
- take out “hard coding” of database tables, such as “wp_bb_forums”
I “officially” released Move Topic 0.0.2 as a PLUGIN and started a new thread for it. Suggest we continue the discussion there https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/new-plugin-buddypress-group-forums-move-topic
Take a look at bp-default/groups/single/forum/topic.php. You can it from there customize from there? Instead of directly customizing the default theme, you might consider a child theme https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/.
same problem here…
i got two groups: staff and members
i created a post in staff and in members.
when im in the staff forums, it displays the member topic underneath my main post as a comment…
and when i try to create a new post, i get this error:
There was an error when creating the topic
Whats up with this???? how can we fix this ?
cheers,

Here’s what you’ll need:
/* Load the AJAX functions for the theme */
require_once( TEMPLATEPATH . '/_inc/ajax.php' );
/* Load the javascript for the theme */
wp_enqueue_script( 'dtheme-ajax-js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/_inc/global.js', array( 'jquery' ) );
/* Add the JS needed for blog comment replies */
function bp_dtheme_add_blog_comments_js() {
if ( is_singular() ) wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' );
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'bp_dtheme_add_blog_comments_js' );
If you’re just customizing the default theme like anaon (or at least not heavily customizing), then your best route to go is to create a child theme. All of the ajax stuff will be handled by the default theme, and you don’t have to worry about things like this.

I’m using WPMU 2.9.2 and the latest version of Buddypress. I guess i’ll try using it in a fresh install, maybe someone on our staff edited something they shouldn’t and it’s causing this error…
Thanks 
First off, I visited your site and confirmed that BP Album+ is working correctly.
You’re having problems because you’ve modified wordpress to display one URL in the browser while running the actual site on another …this is VERY BAD, because the modification you’ve made only handles *one* of *many* ways plugins generate URLs and file paths. That’s why we had to modify part of the BP Album+ code for you so it would work on your site.
Modifying BP Album+’s activity stream code to work on your site would be much more difficult. The code gets the base URL from BuddyPress; so we would have to hook the BuddyPress function that does that and modify the URL, and that could break other parts of your installation. It would require testing and debugging, and so on.
Also, version 0.1.9 of BP Album+ (which I’m taking a break from coding to answer your post) has at least *fifty* different functions that would have to be modified so it would work on your site, which is completely impractical to do.
Fortunately, you can fix *all* of these problems quickly and easily, have WordPress in a subdirectory, and have the subdirectory invisible in the URL, by properly setting up your web server.
Here’s how:

nice and correct comments.
It would be nice to at least know if there is a roadmap on search? Is there a desire to put an actual site search in the core at some point in the future, or is Google Custom Search going to be the way to go?
You can always install bp later when you have your site up and running, so you can do both. But imo its better to use buddypress from the start because it soul purpose is to built a community with and its a great way to let your members and blog owners interact.. So I include it from the start
