BuddyPress.org

Would be nice to see this happen..

1) With WPMU and a user account, you can comment on any blog (provided you’re logged in)

2) This is possible… that page is a template file, so you could customize that with whatever you want.

3) If you already have users blogging on WPMU, BuddyPress will detect these user’s blogs (I’m quite sure BP detects them!). BP groups and forums build off of WPMU’s userbase; groups being a BP thing and forums being a BP/bbPress thing. So when you install BP, your users will have to configure their groups and forums from scratch.

4) Not sure on this one. There’s an option in WPMU to disable blog registration, but if you do that I think it will disable blog registration sitewide. This would be a better question for the WPMU forums.

5) BuddyPress does indeed utilize bbPress for forum functionality. The next version of BP will make it easy to integrate with. Right now, it still requires some grunt work.

You say want a forum for each blog? That’s a little overkill… but something like this can be accomplished with groups and a BP plugin (Marius Ooms’ groupblog plugin or Burt Adsit’s BP Community Blog plugin)

6) Yes you can list all blogs on a page using a WPMU function.

Hope that helps!

Hey pollyplummer,

I replied to a similar post:

But you have the right idea!

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:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-blog-author-link

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

@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.

Found the answer here:

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.

I’m starting a work at home community site. So far, it’s just the basic theme.
