I have a need to give each new buddypress user two ‘Tom’ like users as friends and also put them in a group. There have been programatic ways discussed as how to do this but haven’t found a full solution. It occurs to me that maybe the id’s to the friends and group above could be added to the database so that they already listed as friends and no request/accept process has to take place. Is that possible? Any solutions gratefully accepted!
What do I do with it? Do I create a file or do I add it to an existing file. If I create a new file what type do I create and where do I put it? If it matters I use FTP to access my database. Please provide as much detail as possible.

Hi everyone!
It’s likely that WordPress 3.2 will be released very soon – anywhere from the next few hours to the next few days. One big change in WP 3.2 will affect BP users: the version of jQuery shipped with WP will jump from 1.4.4 to 1.6.1. (Read more about the change on the WP development blog.)
BP’s packaged theme, BuddyPress Default (or bp-default, for short) makes extensive use of jQuery, and you’ll find that the version of bp-default in BP 1.2.8 is not 100% compatible with WP 3.2. Not to worry – we are planning a same-day BuddyPress release, BP 1.2.9. However, due to various technical reasons beyond our control, the jQuery in bp-default BP 1.2.9 will not work properly with earlier versions of jQuery.
What this means, in a nutshell, is that you should upgrade your production BP website to WP 3.2 at the same time that you upgrade BP to 1.2.9. Conversely, if you do not plan to upgrade to WP 3.2, do not upgrade BP to 1.2.9 when it comes out.
** preface: i’m new to buddypress
Over the last few months I have had several clients requesting POST integration into the buddpress group structure. If anyone has BP experience customizing these aspects, your feedback would be GREATLY appreciated. I’m sure theres a brand new shiny BP in the works… however in the meantime I’m hoping to find a way to bridge the gap between BP conversation and WP posts.
Just to makesure I understand….Currently in Buddypress the primary means of conversation is the Bppress “forumns” tab. This content type is fragemented from the standard WP table setup into a seperate table, and also has it’s own library of functions and ajax calls to create a new forum post, edit an existing or delete content… on the front-end the display options and interface possibilities for display of these forumns posts is limited. This strays far from all of the native functionality of WordPress and makes integrating conversation across different components of a WordPress website difficult.
==========”Posts” are different then “forumn topics” in the following way: (this is obvious… but just to be clear)
> They can be setup as custom post types
> They can be associated with custom taxonomy
> They can contain rich media content
> They can be easily associated with META content
> They can be integrated with the comprehensive library of WP functions
> They can be stored in the standard wp_posts table
===========Biggest Challenges of integrating posts with groups….
> Integrating existing plug-ins with this new groups “posts”… plug-ins such as “rate forumn posts” and “group email subscription” rely on the BP group forumns… by implementing “posts” as the primary conversation object none of these existing plug-ins would be compatible.
> Creating and editing posts on the front-end for members of a group, especially attempting to integrate the pop-up media manager can be very challenging.
> Moderation of new posts created…. (perhaps flagged as “content pending review”)
> BP User profile displaying “my posts”
==========Potential Solutions:
> Creating a custom taxonomy which mirrors the group structure, then manually customizing the BP child theme forumns page to display posts related to the matching taxonomy.
> Creating both a forumn post and a regular post when a new topic is created and linking them together with a hidden ID field
> Associating posts to the group using post meta -> group ID
Any feedback you might have on overcoming these challenges would be greatly appreciated:Regards,
Simon.
Topic: Comment list skew
Hi.
I need to disable commenting comments under activities on a new buddypress site I’m working on, but keep the ability to comment the activities. When someone comments a previous comment instead of the activity, the new comment skews out to the right, and starts a new thread or something. This becomes a problem when several people comments the previous comment, as they gradually skew the thread all the way out to the right on the page.
Is there another solution for this, or would it be best to disable commenting on comments? How do I do that, where do I edit?oops sorry forgot to write down my email…im going to test it now and following my feedbacks and/or suggestions.. (Y)
edit: quickly tested it out, it’s a great addon. My first suggestions are:
1- i hate popups, an embedded version maybe in a wordpress page would be great
2- in the profile, the picture is a little bit to the bottom, in my opinion it could go a little up.
3- it woud be great if from facebook could grab email and locations too.Hey I love your website. I love the member area and the ajax stuff, i think i’m going to embed it as well on my (yet alpha) work in progress website. Thanks
edit: embeddd and working fine but as you said, ” I had problems getting a:active css attributes to show, but besides that it’s worked just fine.” i have the same issue, active button remains on the “activity”
edit: i’ve noticed another “bug”, in the activity, the filter is not working, but it seems to be a WP 3.2 problem
Hi all,
I’m desperately looking for software to do the following, and really hope Buddypress will fit what we’re looking for. Hope you can help!
We are a volunteer organization that sends about 600 – 1000 people overseas each year. We need volunteers to keep their blog/profile, connect with facebook, get information from us, interact with our internal information system, etc. The specs are pretty much:
– Community of about 3,000 members, growing with about 1,000 each year
– Each user has his/her own profile, with a weblog as the main feature, with subdomains, like: myname.ourdomain.org
– There is a central homepage for non-logged in users (and logged-in ones) that merges these blogs/profiles, news, feeds, etc etc; basically, content generated by us on a dynamic “community”
– Users can be grouped by country/project/etc they go to (i.e. categorized or tagged), so we can show profiles/blogs from a certain group somewhere on our website
– In the backoffice of a user, we can add all kinds of modules, for example to access our database of fundraising ideas, book a ticket, add your emergency-information to be entered into our system
– There is a forum with different group, to which individual users can subscribe toHowever, there’s another main feature we’d really need: we would like to be able to easily “clone” the community for partners we work with. This would be another community alltogether, with different layout, userbase, etc, but with the same idea as the one above. Modules should be able to be shared between different “subcommunities”.
Ideally, we would be able to create a “supercommunity” that merges all the blogs, pictures, feeds, users etc from all the subcommunities into one.
Is all this possible with WordPress? Should I worry about database-size with 3,000 (and in the future 10,000+) blogs/profiles? How much of all this is out of the box, how much would have to be implemented?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Kind regards,
Michel
Add the following to your theme’s style.css (you’ll find the Repro theme designer was thoughtful enough to include a section for Buddypress at the bottom
)table.forum td img.avatar {display:none;}

I used BP Template pack to edit the Buddypress templates so they would match my site. Everything worked fine, except for the Forum page. Everything is misaligned, Is there something I’m missing when editing forums/index.php or is it just a matter of editing the CSS?
Cheers
No
Some theme stuff I want to blog about hasn’t been finished yet, I imagine that sort of thing is holding up.Hi
I see that Buddypress 1.3 has only 7 open tickets left and is 99% complete, but already since around 2 weeks…
My question is simple, does that mean we can expect Buddypress 1.3 to be officially released in the next 1 – 2 weeks?
