Definately gonna help you out with this one, Bowe. 
You mean what components should be activated for a user? Blog plugins and buddypress profile components are two totally different things offcourse. I’d rather not have my users touch plugins since it might cause confusion or bug problems. But on the other hand I would like to see that my users can switch off activity stream for themselves for example.
Hi,
I was experiencing a similar problem – try checking to see if there are any tables in your database starting with wp_bp:
wp_bp_activity etc etc…
I think buddypress needs these tables to work and for some reason they are not being created. I copied the database structure from a working install of BP (44 tables) into the broken install – which only had 17 tables and things seem to be working.
I’ve gone ahead with this, and already working on the site.. I am currently customizing a existing WP theme, so it should be online very soon.. I’ll keep you guys updated and in the meantime it would be really cool, if you start thinking about things you would like to see explained on the site.. If you have a Tutorial laying around (Andrea?) and would like to contribute.. please contact me!
@frenchtowner?
How are you finding this plugin integrates with Buddypress?
@david lewis
What are you using for managing events with Buddypress?
(The trac page has been up/down/up for a while now..)
The blogs are controlled by MU though – not buddypress.
Turn off buddypress. If the blogs still don’t work, then it’s not BP. It has been an issue with WPMU before.
We’d be up for some guest posts for sure. I can’t say I hadn’t thought of a bptutorials site. 
Good idea, Bowe. Funny enough, I secured bpuser.com with the idea of making a home for user level discussion (as opposed to developer) on implementing Buddypress. Not sure if I;ll ever do anything with it as I don’t want to re-invent the wheel, so to speak – but the need is there.
I’ve posted my “White Screen” topic in a new thread, as it doesn’t fit here, as it looks like the tables have been created. Can’t seem to delete my above post.
I believe it MUST be a buddypress issue because none of the solutions in the WPMU forum work…. Not only that, this seems to be a common problem.
Bumping up this question again.
I need a tool, that makes it possible to do …
… Groups
… Friends
… Aggregation of delicious
… Aggregation of Twitter
… Aggregation of Google Reader
… Aggregation of external blogs
… Aggregation of other services (rss)
My question is now: Is it possible to aggreagte content from multiple sources and services through RSS?
Cross-posting this here from another thread. It’s now about a week since I’ve had anymore of the firstnamesurname19xx signups.
Well, I don’t know — I seem to have lucked out, or it’s just that my site is too new and so-far untrafficked, but the few very simple, small changes I made last week seem to have stopped the firstnamelastname19xx signups.
1) I changed the some of the text on the /register page.
2) I removed the “powered by” text in footer.php of my child theme (someone mentioned that it was being searched for)
3) I changed the register slug in wp-config.php
4) Added a functions.php file in my custom childtheme with the following code to redirect signups for all blogs to the Buddypress register page
function rk_signup_redirect() {
if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'wp-signup.php') !== false ) {
$url = 'http://mydomain.com/customregisterslug';
wp_redirect($url);
exit;
}
}
add_action('init', 'rk_signup_redirect');
where mydomain.com is, you know, my domain, and customregisterslug is the slug I changed in step 3.
I don’t think I changed anything else — no captchas or anything — and I’ve received zero splog signups in the 5 days since, after getting a few a day before that. Fingers crossed.
jjj,
thanks for the plugin but i can’t get to my bbpress admin when i use the deep integration code. using buddypress 1.0.3, wpmu 2.8.5.2 and bbpress 1.0.2. I have gone all five pages of this thread and tried everything everyone has suggested but whenever i put in the deep integration code i get redirected back to my blog’s homepage. if i take the code out i can access bbpress admin just fine. i have subdomains for my blogs but have forums on a subdirectory.
If there have been any further updates pls advise

as a side note, is there a way to even administer the forum? I see the forum setup under the buddypress option on the backend (which installed buddypress), but I don’t see the admin options for administering it (or perhaps that is what is missing along with the buttons?)
Thanks for the response, Jeff. That sounds very exciting. Is there ever any timeline on these kinds of things. We’re still in the 1.1 release. I’m going live with my site in January sometime.
I’m wondering what ways a person like myself (an experienced video producer and web designer by trade, a 50% capable/wannabe web developer) might stay ahead of this curve a bit and begin implementing/understanding some of these technologies before they hit BuddyPress, instead of just waiting around for 1.4 to come out.
Any thoughts?
I now understand the problem.
In order to get the new version to work I basically have to re-create my bp theme with the new theme files. I compared the standard new buddypress theme to mine after the upgrade and noticed that I don’t have a status directory for example I copied the contents of your bp-sn-parent into my bp theme and the new features all worked, except my css was now broken.
This is insane. I had paid someone a good deal amount of funds so that my bp theme matches my wordpress theme. Now I have to do it all over again if I want to move on from 1.0.3
Hi guys (and gals),
I too am using the one-click new installation option… it only asks me to create a bb-config.php file (and gives me what I should put in it), after which it says that “bbPress forum integration in BuddyPress has been set up correctly. ” … but nothing will load on any forum pages… all that shows is a white page. No header, no nothing.
By looking around in the files of the WPMU installation, I see all the bbpress files in the “wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress” directory, including a “bb-config-sample.php” file, but no bb-config.php file.
The one-click installation page mentioned at the beginning of this post told me to put the bb-config.php file in the root directory of my WPMU install, but maybe I should put it in the same directory as “bb-config-sample.php”?
Thanks for any help… just installed BuddyPress today and love it!
[UPDATE]
Okay, I just checked my DB via cpanel, and the tables are there… but BuddyPress isn’t showing *anything* related to forums on my installation.
The forums on my site are here: http://www.greenparenting.ca/forums
I will let you know if I figure anything out for the IE error.
Here’s some screenshots of the errors i’m having with some of the child themes. Forgive me if this is a noobish question but, are these the typical kind of CSS errors, due to buddypress integration?

We modded D’Arcy Norman’s solution above so it would work on BuddyPress. At least it did a while back. Someone wanna give this a whirl again?

madyogi-
Have you ever heard of the Open Stack? It is on the BP roadmap for version 1.4. This will address your concerns.
Here are the contents of my buddypress theme root within bp-themes:
http://avarayr.com/wp-content/themes/avarayr/images/bpthemeroot.jpg
Here are the contents of my wordpress theme root:
http://avarayr.com/wp-content/themes/avarayr/images/wpthemeroot.jpg
Please advise.
If I leave everything as is (without moving the contents from my bp theme to wp theme) and just upgrade automatically I had up with the messed up activity stream and other problems.
Kevin-
I just noticed that there’s an error in the way each function call is coded. Try this instead:
<?php __( next_posts_link( '« Previous Entries' ), 'buddypress' ) ?>
<?php __( previous_posts_link( 'Next Entries »' ), 'buddypress' ) ?>
Let me know if that works.
