Try reverting to the default theme and see if it works.

Yes, please release this if you are willing.

@JJJ [blockquote]Ultimately the problem comes from the shared userbase, which means even a new “site” has no real way to say these 10 users only belong to this site, and these 12 users to this one, and these 20 users to this one…[/blockquote]

On my wpmu setup I am using a number of plugins from the premium site which was setup by Andrew. I am not sure which of his plugins does this, but on my setup, each blog does have it’s ‘own’ members.

I had asked awhile back about how to properly go about allowing a user to register on a subdomain blog without ever leaving that blog. This way each blog can have it’s ‘own’ members.

So when I look in my admin, I actually have a list of blogs, and the members belonging to each blog.

Would this be what is needed in order to get bp to filter the activity for each blog, to only display members/blogs/forums/activity streams etc… from the given blog being displayed?

For the life of me I cannot figure out exactly which plugin from Andrew is allowing this. Maybe Andrea would know…

I have many blogs that have been bugging me non-stop to try and figure out how to bring social networking to their site, but have no solution for them. I know that I could simply install multiple copies of wpmu and give each blog their own complete setup with bp, but that destroys the concept of one codebase to have to update and maintain. It would quickly become a nightmare trying to manage multiple wpmu installs just to get bp working for each blog independent of each other.

Just completed new installation of BuddyPress and activated new bbPress. Settings show that the Forums are installed correctly. I have a couple of groups that are “Public” that have at least one topic. I am incorrect in thinking that these topics should be visible on this page:

http://worsttofirstcampus.org/forums

It seems like it just defaults to http://worsttofirstcampus.org

Does it have anything to do with the theme I have selected for BuddyPress pages?

hum, hierarchy of what?

Hi Kunal,

I’m using both on my test environment right now (still undecided if I want to go with embedded bbPress or external!).

You should be able to use BP’s internal bbPress forums by going straight to the BP forums slug.

By default, this is:

http://YOURBPINSTALL.com/forums/

If your external bbPress install is the same as this slug, you’ll need to modify your BP forums slug to something else.

You can do this by adding this line in your wp-config.php:

define( 'BP_FORUMS_SLUG', 'somedifferentslug' );

I learned when trying to override the BuddyPress widget registrations that your theme will use BOTH function.php files… the parent and child. So you may need to unregister the original function and/or use a new function name… etc.

Oh yes please! If you’ve already whipped up the plugin, that’d be great.

That would be the way to do it. Polish up that plugin and put it in the plugin repo.

Sounds good with merging the 3 features. Like on Facebook where status updates, “the wire” and activity has been merged into 1 social stream. Works well.

Hey tsceso… Xevo heeft de vertaling geupdate voor 1.1.2 en kan je daarmee helpen.. stuur hem even een berichtje en dan geeft hij je het bestand.. komt goed dus!

Veel plezier met BuddyPress

You are using outdated versions of both WPMU and BuddyPress. I urge you to upgrade.

There was a bug in some previous version of BuddyPress to do with the wrong link being put on to the activation emails, but without knowing exactly why people can’t activate their accounts (i.e. do they get the emails? Does the link work? What happens?) it is tough to provide specific advice.

actually you have two situations here:

1- add plugins to your Buddypress front-end

2- add plugins for your members blogs

if you need plugins for your front-end, check that they are compatible with buddypress but also read the HowTo, because some of them need to be activated sitewide, some not.

if you need plugins for your members blogs, you have to check if these plugins are compatible with WordPress…

notes: do not install plugins that are morethan 300 days old, for safety and compatibility. what works with WPMU will work within Buddypress as well.

and btw, yes, it’s a use it breake it situation in the WordPress community, because not all plugins are coded by pros, and they are not tested before added to the repository. for each plugins you have rating and comments, so read them.

Depends on what you want to do with the plugins.

Have you faced any conflicts by installing any plugins on your buddypress install? The answer starts from here.

Hallo,

Stellen jullie je vertalingen ter beschikking of dien ik dit warm water opnieuw uit te vinden? Ik heb wel een ‘oude’ vertaling hier op de site gevonden, maar ik draai ondertussen de laatste versie van Buddypress.

Ik zou het dus erg waarderen als andere Nederlandstaligen hier ook gebruik van mogen maken.

Alvast bedankt voor jullie reactie

I made a little plugin that allows you to have different BP on each domain, but there are limitations.

As jjj said, there is always one user base and plugin just adds different BP components on each site (like activities that user take, groups, messages..).

I’m not using forum so I’m not sure if this plugin would made different forum instances.

My plugin is basically making copies of tables for each site, e.g.

for friends table which is “wp_bp_friends”, plugin makes copies like:

wp_bp_1_friends (for site with id 1)

wp_bp_2_friends (for site with id 2)

I upgraded from Bp 1.0.3 to 1.1.2 yesterday and I went ahead and activated the external bbpress forum I had earlier. I would like to instead use the built in forums now so that I can have a forums dashboard like that on testbp.

Is there any way that I can now switch without losing my forum posts?

BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG basically allows BuddyPress to not look for the root domain, but instead just work on which-ever domain or blog that you’re on at the time. It isn’t really the answer to this question/issue, but rather a way to side-step the issue.

At the moment, there is no kind of “BuddyPressMU” type setup, allowing multiple BP communities on one installation. But, this isn’t an impossible task to pull off, with some effort.

The underlying problem is that BP uses 1 set of site-wide tables for all MU blogs regardless of site or association. It is coded to think that it has control over the entire MU setup. What would need to happen is for BP to look for which site it is occupying and enumerate its DB tables according to the site_id…

However… If we’re using one MU installation, we’re still talking about sharing a userbase regardless, so even the above scenario might not be optimal. Ultimately the problem comes from the shared userbase, which means even a new “site” has no real way to say these 10 users only belong to this site, and these 12 users to this one, and these 20 users to this one…

Something like this, in my opinion, is something that the core should be aware of, but not manage; similar to sunrise support in MU. As setups like this become more popular and the community need for it arises, I’m sure there will be a great solution to this.

I have two installations of wpmu/buddypress, one for Japanese users and one for English users. For English users, I use the user tables of Japanese users. This requires both install to use the same database, but similar to what you want, perhaps.

actually, you can just make the new blog – and make the new user the admin on the same page – and a password link will be sent them if they are already not a member –

This doesn’t require buddypress (should be posted on wpmu forum than here). Detailed methods should be available online, such as wpmututorials.com

You need to do the tasks seperately. First make a new user, second make the blog with the newly registered user’s mail address.
