I’m trying to avoid doing a redirect. Is there another way? Would it interfere with any of the functions if I took the index.php from the buddypress home theme and added it as a new template like so:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Home Page
*/
?>
and then assign my /subpage to use that template?
I think Ajax messages are already used in Buddypress. This is in the template somewhere:
<?php do_action( 'template_notices' ) // (error/success feedback) ?>
Could a “please log in or register first” message use the same function?
Yeah, r-a-y’s spot on. I’m going to close this thread as it’s very old.

Though I should note that this plugin has absolutely nothing to do with the original poster’s question!
It is extremely handy for setting up what you want for new blog defaults though.
@Pr102
I know this topic is old, but if you’re talking about when you post a comment on a blog, that your name should link to your BP profile… this is possible via this plugin:

I suggest you post this on the WPMU forums as it looks likely to be a WPMU problem and not a Buddypress problem
@ Hyrxx
I can’t seem to find it. Remember any other details?
Try disabling BuddyPress, and see if you can access the hosted blogs in the standard WPMU way. I’d recommend against using WPMU outside a domain root, as it seems to cause so many problems.
No people, it’s works, I used 
Both, comments and WPMU/BuddyPress login
Thanks for the quick response r-a-y.
I guess the rewriting is not taking place or only partly, because I see the wrong adresses in the source, get some error messages in the page (‘No such file or directory in…’ etc.) and some weird behavior (the remove-buddypress-adminbar plugin now and then doesn’t work on member blogs, but only in Firefox).
Where does this rewriting take place?
Isn’t there a more direct way to get the right adresses in the template without rewriting after the fact?
@blackarbor:
You could modify the BuddyPress TOS plugin and change that to an Age Verification field.

No, not impossible. You’ll have to write your own plugins.
wpmu 2.8.2, bp 1.0.3, bbpress 1.0.2
I believe my integration is working as advertised but… when I delete a forum topic from a buddypress group it is removed from the group forum but not deleted from bbpress. Over time the bbpress forum will have a growing number of topics/posts that group admins think they have deleted (from buddypress) but actually live on in bbpress.
I’m not sure if tags within buddypress group forums are working. Tags can be added but I only find them available when directly accessing bbpress. While on the buddypress side, I’m not able to search groups for tags in the group forum.
Are these issues of a bad integration on my part or just limits of the current versions?
The Ajax redirect in this solution, with the register?s=1, had some annoying side effects that made it unusable. See the original thread for details.
Or did you fix that problem, sandeepdude? I’m a bit reluctant to try it again and find out that it’s the exact same code…
I’ll look for a solution in the next few days. Another way to show an Ajax message after redirect would probably be part of the solution.
This is awesome. I was just looking around the BuddyPress features and wondering why the heck there was no “group blog” feature. And then sure enough, somebody was already working on it. Thanks!!
Apparently a “full-featured privacy (authorization) component for BuddyPress” is in the works for a future release. I hope that includes an approval process, but member management in general seems to be very low on the priority list of the Buddypress developers and community. If you need it anytime soon, I’d look into developing your own plugins.
I’ve been testing GD Star Rating on WPMU and Buddypress and have noted a few bugs to Milan (the developer).
I’ve asked him to see if he can hijack the BP activity stream; so when a rating is made, instead of the default “User commented on the blog post Hello World”, it will change to something else like “User wrote a review for Hello World”… or something like that.
Since it’s one of the most complicated plugins to setup and understand, I’m not going to allow GD Star Rating site-wide so the issues that Kunal17 is having won’t be an issue for me.
Gpo1,
I am using GDStarRating on 1 of my blogs though not on buddypress homeblog. I want to use it with multiple blogs but several users are reporting errors on the authors homepage so I am waiting for a more stable version.
Anybody using this gdstarrating?
I’m starting a work at home community site. So far, it’s just the basic theme.
@gaganawhad, the “Skeleton component” is for BP plugins!
What you want is the BP Skeleton Member Theme, which can be found in:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bpskeletonmember/
Move that folder to:
/wp-content/bp-themes/
Activate it in the WPMU admin area – “BuddyPress > General Settings” and you should be ready to start theming!
I’m with you carlmartin10. I’m running the latest WPMU and just updated svn for buddyPress and am still unable to get the avatars to upload or display. There’s a ton of results when you do a search on the problem, but pretty much all of them either tell you to update or set the permissions. If that doesn’t solve the problem, we’re pretty much left out in the cold!
Let me know if that works. It would go in wp-content/themes/bphome/css/site-wide.css
When I saw you all talking about using Javascript just to center a theme and give it a fixed width… I sensed someone somewhere along the line went down a rabbit hole 
LOL.
Thanks, that’s a better suggestion, not really much of a coder, just stumble across solutions..
If I find something that works I try and share that, but more often than not someone else has a much better idea, so not sure if its a help or hindrance……try to steer clear of javascript where possible though
