All fields were filled in. I reinstalled both Buddypress to the newest trunk and the events plugin v 0.55. The saving error remains. I cannot create events.
Could this be a permission issue? bp-events-directory and bp-events.php are set to 755. Are there other adjustments I need to make?
If you ask me, it makes ‘things’ just more complex and harder to get working 
You have an existing wp install and want to connect another install, buddypress, to that? I don’t think that is possible. You could install wpmu and bp. Import your existing wp blog into wpmu and then install bp on a different blog. That you can do.
Your current blog would be imported as blog id 1 and bp could be installed on another blog you create. That would work.
You see. What I want to do tho is keep my wordpress blog intact. With that theme that it has right now and what not. And to have, as another “website” yet integrated with my wordpress blog, my socialnetwork section. So with the buddypress thing, I can have my other kind of theme, yet if people use their accounts from buddypress to comment on my original wordpress blog, it will still be connected..they will still be able to see it on their activity.
Those are the member, groups and blog directories. They live in respectively:
RC1
/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-core/directories/bp-core-directory-members.php
/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-groups/directories/bp-groups-directory-groups.php
/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-blogs/directories/bp-blogs-directory-blogs.php
trunk
/wp-content/bp-themes/buddypress-member/directories
There is a job board in the dev section. Nothing but a wire now. https://buddypress.org/groups/buddypress-job-board
Emails go out to all those who are members of that group. You could also post a topic here since the job board doesn’t have a forum yet. Post it here and one of the mods will close it after posting. People can contact you through your profile in a PM.
bp and wpmu use the same user table. A bp ‘account’ is a wp ‘account’. You can use any theme you like on your blog. All blog posts and their comments show up in activity from any blog that hasn’t been set to ‘private’.
Is there any way tho, that I dont know if it will help with what he is asking but, to use a wordpress MU and Buddypress….aka set up buddypress on a different directory…and still be able to integrate it with the normal wordpress? What I mean is…SO that when people use their budypress accoutns, they can comment on a post from the normal wordpress and it will appear in their activity?
Plugins that are enabled site wide can only be disabled by a site administrator.
Above affects the new location: “Plugins” v.s. “MU-Plugins” for BuddyPress … You see this sentence after you install BuddyPress in the proper way
So, they couldnt be deactivated by ‘users’…
It is possible, to integrate bbPress + WordPress (MU), i did it my self already
And take a look @ Burtadsit .. You still need WPMU for right now, to run BuddyPress …
bp does not run with the standalone version of wp yet. It requires wpmu right now.
That\’s better. Looking around.
EDIT: I took a look at that trac ticket and it specifically mentions changing the permalink structure to /%category%/ and that RC1 has problems loading the proper templates. It looks to me like that is what is happening in your case. It\’s like the comments.php template isn\’t being loaded. I\’m not finding any html structure from that template under your blog posts. No template no structure. https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/554
The only solution I can suggest to you is change the permalink structure back or install the trunk version of bp. Installing the trunk version means upgrading wpmu to the svn branch of 2.7, deleting bp from /mu-plugins and moving it to the new location in /plugins.
Chris I visited that website and it looks pretty good. I got a question tho, does it integrate with buddypress? Like, lets say I am in a chatroom, will people be able to see my profile over at Buddypress by clicking on my name on the chatroom?
This has been discussed here, and I belive it’s a bug since the release to the latest.
Someone else suggested another cropping tool (which I liked also), but not sure if Andy is going to implement it. I’m not either sure when this cropping bug is fixed completely for anyone using buddypress.
This cropping code is awesome… but not sure how to replace with the default cropping tool on buddypress.
http://www.webmotionuk.co.uk/php-jquery-image-upload-and-crop/
This would be good like an adobe air desktop app…
I would say it would be in your best interests to get used to how the new versions of wpmu and buddypress work together, if what you want is to stay on top of the most recent bug fixes, etc…
Upgrading from RC1 is going to open a whole new set of questions though, as it’s not a super easy thing to do.
yes it is
Not finished yet it needs some wires & friends xmlrpc methods.
Maybe someone could work on an xmlrpc client based on this apis, that might be awesome
The nice thing about themes, they are just html. Which is free to look at and examine. Chances are if you take a look at the source, and spend a few minutes in an image editor you will find this “theme” pretty easy to replicate.
What will be much harder to do is the quality job Andy has done integrating bbpress inside of buddypress. This blend on buddpress.org is seamless, and very difficult to achieve at this point without a lot of “deep intergration”.
But take a look at the source, and I think you will see it holds most the answers.
Andy’s mentioned that he will release some of his tricks eventually, but for now his main focus is readying BP for the 1.0 release.
You can piece a lot of this theme apart by staring at the CSS for a while. (It’s mostly just a lot of background images.)
I wonder if that means he will not release information on how to make the sub-nav and oval shaped content areas.
If I was going to use WordPress and bbPress as past examples, no, and don’t bet that it will be anytime soon.
Someone may make a replica, but usually the *Press public themes aren’t available for public use.
Never Mind, I found the answer in another thread.
