That is a hard one to advise you on. But, read this thread — especially the two posts by Andy (the 4th and 16th posts). Perhaps that will give you sufficient information to make up your mind.

Rogercoathup, you can read the roadmap here:

and new comings for 2009 here:

I actually have the same problem.

I’ve tried this patch https://trac.buddypress.org/attachment/ticket/909/909-jjj.patch but it still doesn’t work: I can’t say yes or no, there’s no button, just the question. Is it still working with your BP install JJJ?

Thanks!

I’m running WordPress MU 2.8.4a + BuddyPress 1.0.3

With the structure that is going to be implemented, does that mean you’ll have to use the “default” buddy press theme, and do your own customizations, or can you upload your own theme, and integrate the buddypress layout into it?

I think if you find a basic but good Paypal plugin for WordPress, that’s half the battle. The API is a bit awkward to work with (in my experience).

Have you talked to the WP e-commerce guys (http://twitter.com/danmilward) about bringing e-commerce into BuddyPress as a group plugin? I saw Dan present at Wordcamp UK and he seems quite a friendly chappy.

@Ishimwe-

Posting in a thread that has not seen activity for more than 2 months will not get you anywhere. Please read this post.

I am not aware of any BP-specific plugins that enable such a feature. Perhaps you should make a request in the BuddyPress Features Group or offer to pay someone to build such a plugin on the BuddyPress Job Board.

Seeing how you have not received a response from mattyabsley, I suggest starting a new thread and answering these questions.

Roy, what I think happened is that your activity tables were rewritten when you installed the most recent BP trunk. If you’ve been using the tagged version of 1.0.3 ( the one that is available via the big, orange download button) and not the trunk version of 1.0.3, then this is what happened.

In the newest version of BP, two of the original three activity tables are eliminated. Going forward, only one table is required. When you upgraded your live site to trunk, it eliminated two of the tables. When you reinstalled the earlier version (the tagged version 1.0.3) it reinstalled the two tables that were eliminated. But, they would have no data to display–at least at first.

Look at bp-activity.php in your 1.0.3 reinsall. Does the first line say thing?

define ( 'BP_ACTIVITY_DB_VERSION', '1300' );

Now, look at the bp-activity.php file from the most recent trunk (r1643 at the time of this post). Do you see the change in the schema-especially these lines of code?

/* Drop the old sitewide and user activity tables */

$wpdb->query( "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS {$wpdb->base_prefix}bp_activity_user_activity" );

$wpdb->query( "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS {$wpdb->base_prefix}bp_activity_sitewide" );

With the older version now reinstalled, and data being written back to the old tables, are you starting to see activity being reported in the widget?

I think the only way you could have a 1-click option would be if… at some point… there were a buddypress.com like wordpress.com. That said… all of these projects are auttomatic projects… so maybe at some point in the future they will all merge into one product? Who knows.

I’m using bpGroups and first of all you should follow the instructions properly.

Make sure your files are in the right directories.

/wp-content/mu-plugins/oci_bp_group_forums.php

/YOUR BBPRESS INSTALL DIRECTORY/my-plugins/oci_bb_group_forums.php

—

Also, because you’re using deep integration, you’ll need to make the following changes:

In oci_bp_group_forums.php, around line 30 change:

require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-IXR.php');

to this:

if (!defined(BBDB_NAME))

require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-IXR.php');

In oci_bb_group_forums.php, around line 30 change:

require_once( BACKPRESS_PATH . '/class.ixr.php' );

to this:

if (defined(BACKPRESS_PATH))

require_once( BACKPRESS_PATH . '/class.ixr.php' );

I have had this issue three times and all the time the only thing that has worked is a new install. That is, wipe clean the wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes and all files for Mu , rename existing ones to something like wp-admin_old (that’s what I do).

Then:

1. Finish the WP MU installation/upgrade first. Make sure it does work before you go to the next step.
2. Install buddypress plugin first and activate it
3. Reupload the blogs.dir files to the wp-content from your backup manually.

This is guaranteed to work. So far, buddypress doesn’t seem to have any other magic solution to this issue.

1)

I do have BP-version 1.0.1 running on a site and have made a few customizations so far (just CSS-changes and some images).

So with the new template-structure: should I delete the current install completely and get the BP-version 1.1 installed ? I mean: what is the best way to upgrade to the 1.1-version when it will be released in the next few weeks ? I definitely want to have the new template-structure, so I guess I would need to set-up my website from scratch, right ?

And: I am running the site in german-language only.

2)

will this new template-structure also make it easier to design a custom-template for the user-blogs ?

Like I would like to have the user-blogs having the same CSS-style as my main pages ?

I still have not been able to figure how to do this. I would like the user-blogs to have the same design in order to have a consistent website.

Why is this not already the case at http://www.testbp.org ? Why is it still the original WordPress-design ? Is there a chance you create a plugin or something at which the Admin is able to select to chosse the design of the “User-Blogs” like choosing from “WordPress original design” or “TestBP.org design” ?

3)

is there a chance to have a “package install” which will have ONE package which will include all latest software: WordPress 2.8.x, BuddyPress 1.1 and BBPress ?

I read many post where I see people having troubles integrating the BBPress-software into the system (even an experienced BP-expert had troubles).

Is there a chance you will create a 1 Package download which will make it very easy for people to have a full website (like http://www.testbp.org) installed ?

So literally 1 click-download will create a ready-made website, same like testbp.org ?

4)

a user-request to get invited into a “Private Group” is not possible being accepted. This does not work yet at my installation and I think this is a general bug.

5)

the wording of “Blog” and “Blogs” is confusing. In both english and german language.

Many thanks,
