I have the same problem in Russian lang. Anyone found a solution?
It’s actually quite easy with BuddyPress 1.2, just requires cutting some stuff from the default BuddyPress child template functions, adding them to your own theme functions & some CSS edits.
I will be happy to post a howto once BuddyPress 1.2 comes out of beta if it helps.
Setup instructions are interesting… requires you to create a sub blog.
Will give this a go a little later.
Yup, hopefully it will take the good parts of MU and make WP capable of both Multi User and Multi Blog functions 
I have not seen any word on when it will get out though and that means its a few months off at least and then Buddypress need a while to rewrite for 3.0. Don’t want to wait that long really to see if things become the way I want or not
It’s just to bad Buddypress do not have a way to define which database to use for Buddypress information by default, but I guess it never needed it
No WordPress MU? Those better be really good reasons! Be careful about hacking together your own network of blogs when WordPress can already do it for you. Did you know that WordPress is merging with MU for version 3.0?
Whilst that’s true, I think for those of us who are not great developers, coders or web stylists, having something that shows recognition even if its not linked is a better alternative than just deleting it from the footer…
but of course with the logo I presume copyrighted, it would need to be an offical ‘powered by’ one to be used only for specified purposes.
I’m guessing that those developers who are able to combat the spammers with a greater degree of control then perhaps it is a non-issue.
It was just a thought.
I guess everyone is focused on bp 1.2 and getting it off the ground. Having posted two forum topics on this, and not getting a reply, as well as a forum topic last year on the same thing, I guess it is up to me to “discover” how to solve this.
What I do know: it is NOT the ‘admin_email’ setting in wpmu, which you can find in the admin user area of wpmu in the general settings selection. You can also find that code in wp-includes in wpmu-functions.php The email address I would like to use is already set up there.
This leads me to believe it is a buddypress function. I have looked in bp-core.php, bp-messages.php, all the files in the bp-messages subdirectory. Nothing.
There must be a setting that says SMTP or phpmail or some other type of function that sends out the email notifications by using the default server email setting.
Grossbuff. Could be interesting. fyi, the plugin link on the Wp plugin directory is a 404. Do you have a demo or a few screenshots?
Congratulations! Looks very interesting.
Would it work with BP 1.1.3? If not, what changes between 1.1.3 and 1.2 does it rely on?
I will try myself as soon as I have time…
> So don’t link it.
That would work.
My point was that whatever method you use needs to still provide the same level of protection from spammers or else you might as well leave the “powered by…” intact.
You could always use some simple javascript obfuscation too. Not foolproof, but better than nothing.
Nope
Not looking for a MU setup as MU has been discarded as an option for several reasons
I think I have found the solution though by changing all instances of $wpdb->prefix to the database and prefix I want to use for all Buddypress installations.
what you refer to would be a WordPressMU install, which is a multi-users/blogs version of wordpress…
This is for several singleuser 2.9.1 blogs and buddypress 1.2
@Peter
I don’t agree with what you’re saying. I understand the logic behind your ideas, but I think that it’s much better to create a gallery component from the ground up created for buddypress only.
If you have someone working on it which is 110% familiar with BuddyPress and knows exactly which core components and 3rd party plugins might have use for photo galleries, you have a much stronger and cleaner end results then using an existing solution.
You’ve mentioned keeping BuddyPress clean and “non-bloated” for several times, and I think that adjusting/hacking/modifying/adepting existing scripts to work with buddypress (which means a high chance of code conflicts, unused code and a clunky user experience) is not something that I would choose above a well written BP only component.
Would Facebook use an existing photoalbum script? It might sound like a very stupid comparison but I think BP aims to become a open source solution which stands completely on it’s own and can be compared with the bigger social network sites (atleast I hope that’s what they are aiming for:) A awesome BP Gallery component is very much needed and something which should not be (code)based on any existing plugin/script out there.
My 2 cents
… but relationships to users need to be maintained, in a ddition to Groups and possibly even events. Then each image must maintain an associated comment/activity stream set of functionality. Finally, in order to be truly useful in a social media context, the ability to “tag” a user in an image will be very important.
That’s all metadata with image files, it has nothing to do with uploading photos, generating thumbnails, etc. I’m not saying writing a plugin to make those connections is easy, but it would be easier than writing an entire gallery/photo app from scratch.
I’ve tested several gallery scripts. I needed something that could handle upload of raw photos. NextGen came close, but still had some problems. If Buddypress tries to build an entire app into the core, it’s never going to be as solid as NextGen or Zenphoto or other established gallery apps.
Obviously Nextgen and Zenphoto are for single user galleries. That doesn’t make them any less suitable as starting points for a BP plugin. There has been some discussion about Nextgen on the WPMU forums.
This photoblog plugin claims to support WPMU. Not sure what it does. Haven’t tested it.
i’m in, and the localization for 1.2 in Italian is updated to the latest trunk, just a note
@ yudhister, before you install 1000 plugins to have what you want, read this:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/how-to-add-custom-usermeta-to-registration
Actually i want add fileds in blog registration form.So add tow fields Music Genre and Country
fields using buddypress .After that i created new signup. Except above two fields values all values are saving the wp_signups table .But how to save the Genre and country values.
Kindly give me as suggisions.
You have to create a “custom.css” so the change won’t be affected at the next update.
Read the forum to know how to do this
You have to add
margin: 0 auto;
in the body css
