We’re using WPMU and BuddyPress (just starting with BuddyPress, haven’t really publicized it yet while we work out the kinks) for eportfolios at Macaulay Honors College of the City University of New York.
http://macaulay.cuny.edu/eportfolios
and
http://macaulay.cuny.edu/eportfolios/social .
Very exciting possibilities…
You can have WPMU, bbPress, BuddyPress, and for that matter, phpBB all in the same database.

Yes… I’ve posted this elsewhere (so please excuse me if I sound like a broken record) but it would be great if groups could share different kinds of content… photos (coming this fall?) videos, files and wiki’s (aka group-editable page/post).
Maybe once we are able to share blog posts in groups (as Andy mentions above)… wiki functionality could be wedged into groups simply by installing WordPress Wiki. Create a blog post, make it wiki-enabled and then share it with the group? Just a thought. Not sure if that would work or not.
1.) adding someone as a moderator is the same as admin pretty much
3.) BP is not currently setup to do this, one way to accomplish this though, instead of doing <?PHP if is admin?> to create groups, do <?PHP if user is level X ?> then you can manually select users and make them authors or contributors… then they would have the power to create groups. this would also give them power to create blog posts on the main blog, so you may not want them to have that power.
hopefully in the future, BP will have more control over giving users authority levels and what not…
4.) bp is not setup to do this either yet. you would need to modify the core to allow that content to be displayed to non-members
everything you want IS possible, but would require some modifications to the core of buddypress. and this is not suggested

I understand! 
It is actually an issue with the way WordPress, or more precisely, Automattic has created the registration script. The script allows for spaces but then it can cause login problems.
Unfortunately, that issue needs to be addressed at a different level than BuddyPress. Since all of the moderators donate our time on these boards (i.e. we do not work for Automattic), we have no control over this issue.
As I said, I had the exact same issue and the only solution I had was to create a new username.
> This is not a BuddyPress issue.
Usual excuse of all programmers. It not the software problem, is a problem of the software user
Do not take offence, it is humour. But the realistic humour.
I would consider using AWPCP “another wordpress classifieds plugin”
google it, it could easily be used for your purpose
and It works well on wpmu with buddypress
Kunal17-
I am running BuddyPress 1.0, WP 2.7.
Are you running WP 2.7, as in single-user WordPress?
If so, that is your issue. BuddyPress only runs on WPMU (multi-user version). Also, you need to be running WPMU 2.7.1 and not 2.7.
I have just updated the seo for buddypress plugin to version 0.02 for integration with the bp-events plugin. So its possible to enter title, description and keywords for the following pages.
my events in profile
events home
events wire
events forum
events members
I am understand all this. But the answer will be short – is not present? It is a pity that I cannot make a forum similar to a forum of this site.
I now try to understand, can I do migration from phpbb3 community on buddypress engine. While the answer one – I can not.
But the project very interesting. It is more than possibilities on moderation and to improve integration with popular forums…
yeah, I am on v1.2 of the component, i was just showing you what I thought was left out when we went to v1.2 from v1.1.
andy, you dirty dog. so it looks like the icon for a new component is no longer supported by the skeleton component v1.2?
hmmm, so how in the devil do I get this to work properly? it looks really odd on my site when all of the main components have an icon on the member theme, and mine doesn\’t.
I made all the changes you suggested, here is the copy of my code. Let me know if I made any mistakes.
http://pastebin.com/m57a2fc51 (v1.2 of my component file, bp-mystuff-cssjs.php)
http://pastebin.com/m69816adc (in my v1.2 file, bp-mystuff.php)
my plugin is now loaded into wp-content/plugins/bp-mystuff
i’m still not able to get an icon to show up.
You might try skimming through https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2511
I’ve been battling the same problem – except mine extends to several of the pages like “The Wire” “Activity” and a few other places.
1. Current Default version of PHP: 4. This is the default version of PHP that your site is currently using. Note that you can always choose between PHP4 and PHP5 for individual files by naming them with the corresponding extension. (Copied from IPower.com)
2. Haven\’t made any changes to the default .htaccess file
3. This might be the problem. I loaded the \”htaccess.dist\” with the files assuming it would put the .htaccess file. I\’ve tried three different buddypress installation ways – one through searching for the plugin inside wp-admin, one by installing the zip from here in the wp-admin, and one by ftp\’ing the contents of the zip. I would imagine one of them would have copied it over.
4. I installed WPMU from scratch, including making a new mySQL database for it right before loading BP.
5. No other plugins, pretty much running vanilla until I can get the pages I need working.
What do you think?
Ilya-
If you are asking about bbPress themes in general, then Google and you’ll see that there are a number of themes available for bbPress.
If you’re asking about specially customized BuddyPress-friendly bbPress themes, then the answer is as jjj points out above. With v1.0 of BuddyPress just released, theme designers are more than likely working hard at creating new, custom themes.
Once bbPress is publicly released in a stable version, I would imagine that some theme designers will create BuddyPress-friendly bbPress themes as well.
Remember, these are open source projects. The vast majority of the human resources poured into the community are done so for free. WordPress, BuddyPress, and bbPress all come with themes by default. It is up to the community to take those basic themes and create more flexible, powerful designs.
So, themes by default for bbpress are not present till now?
Of course! A huge thx to Andy as well! He’s any way like Santa! brings us all this lovely stuff which makes us happy 
Jep, added that correctly and the button/tap is shown.
function add_location_to_main_menu() {
$class = (bp_is_page(\'countries\')) ? \' class=\"selected\" \' : \'\';
echo \'<li \' . $class. \'><a href=\"\' . get_option(\'home\') . \'/countries\" title=\"\' . __( \'Countries\', \'buddypress\' ) .\'\">\' . __( \'Countries\', \'buddypress\' ) .\'</a></li>\';
}
add_action(\'bp_nav_items\',\'add_location_to_main_menu\');
My Problem in this case is that it doesn’t load the structure.css from the component when I open the component over this button. It works properly when get to the page over the sub navigation link.
(I’m using a customized home as well as a customized member theme. )
thx 4 ur help!
SQRR
Thanks Jeff.
I did send him a message through this site but didn’t think to do it through his own.
When I added that code, I received this error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_search_form() in mysite/forums/bb-templates/bbpress-forum/header.php on line 59
It looks like bbPress is not finding the Buddypress stuff
Tony & Sgoetz-
Thank you for your suggestions!
These ideas will be better heard if you do one (or both) of the following:
- Post them in this BuddyPress Dev Group
- Add an enhancement-request ticket to trac
Stephdau-
Are you using a customized theme? If so, have you tried switching to the standard BuddyPress themes to see if the issue goes away?
Kunal17 & Gerald Lucas-
You will get a quicker response if you create a new thread. This thread was marked resolved more than a month ago. We tend to bypass threads marked resolved and put our efforts into threads that are still not resolved.

htaccess is same as htaccess.dist
Are you using the .htaccess file that comes with WPMU? If so, have you placed it in the root directory of WPMU?
