here is what I used to limit the group creation to admins only
(can also be changed to allow other user levels if needed)
hope this helps
edit: bp-groups.php around line 205
global $user_ID; if( $user_ID ) :
if( current_user_can('level_10') ) {
bp_core_add_subnav_item( $bp->groups->slug, 'create', __('Create a Group', 'buddypress'), $groups_link, 'groups_screen_create_group', false, bp_is_home() );
}
endif;
@James: Thank you for your comment. Did I get it right, that your wikis are only in the backend? We want wikis on the frontend like blogs or groups.
@ostropunkt: PmWiki is really great. We have thought and discussed making group wikis? But our solution was, that wikis and groups are working in the same way.
You have a list of all your wikis on your profil.
You can have public and privat wikis.
And you can invite your friends to your wiki.
You could wait the integration of bp in wp,
or (i think it’s better) you could try copying some tables in your new mu install:
example:
copy wp_users to wp_users
wp_postmeta to wp_1_postmeta
wp_posts to wp_1_posts
etc etc..
that’s a bit difficult to do, maybe others could help you better than me..

It would be great if users could be signed up without verifying their email address. Some users don’t receive the email because buddypress is lacking of a smtp setup.
Sounds great to me. We have an ajax chat system on our board and our users couldn’t live without it. ^^
It’s definetly very social and that’s what’s all about.

i’m sure it depends on the version your using: i was getting mad to solve it in my local installation with no success: i thought it was a fault of my custom theme. Then i’ve tried my custom theme on my second local installation and all worked fine. I don’t remember how to see the current version number of buddypress, if i know how to see it i can tell you what is the working version.
have now reverted back to RC1 and it’s working ok – had some conflict with All in One SEO plugin as well. Will have another go at it with the plugin disabled – still confused about the error message.
You do not have any BuddyPress themes installed.
Please download the Default BuddyPress Theme and install it in /wp-content/buddypress-themes
You can currently use the bbGroups plugin by BurtAdsit to do this with group forums. He’s paused integration for other Extended Profile fields and non-group forums for now, but that is the closest integration available currently.
Take a look over at http://code.ourcommoninterest.org/
Science Content!
The problem with doing it any other way right now, is that without grabbing and caching forum specific BuddyPress profile info and putting it into a convenient user_meta array, it would require an additional query into the database for each user that you want each piece of info for. So lets say you not only want the avatar, but their fullname, and another piece of profile info that you’ve made up. That’s three queries a person, per post, per page. A page with 10 posts just gave you 30 extra queries. The bbGroups plugin works great to counter act this, but I’ve been the primary beta tester experiencing hiccups and Burt has patiently been trouble shooting with me to figure out why. The past week life has sort-of halted my ability to test, but it is a priority for me to address.
unfortunately this did not work for me, i’d also like to use one wpmu install and run multiple separate domains with buddypress on a subdomain and bbpress, using the inove theme.

Hello thanks for your reply.
The only things I’ve changed in the themes are the logo.gif files and the adminbar.gif in bp-core/images, I’ve never touched any php or html file.
Only in footer.php I added google analytics code, just before the </body> tag.
I just tested with the latest unmodified bp-themes (home and member) from SVN.
I also updated all buddypress mu-plugins to this latest SVN.
The sidebar is still in the content div.
Offcourse I cleared browser-cache etc, etc.
oh i know well that …lovely… bug: it happens only when you are not logged in.
Yes you’re right this doesn’t happens when a user is logged in.
Anyway I’ll keep on searching what causes this.
If anyone has some advice, you’re welcome to post.
Warning: require_once(/home/public_html/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/index.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/morisus/public_html/wp-includes/theme.php on line 822

How do we address the path issue?
(Sigh) it’s okay, but next time we’re taking this to fisticuffs!
Can I just say that you have made a excellent choice in pmwiki. Have you thought about making group wikis?
Thank you for your reply. As I noted earlier, I’m already running a WordPress blog network with active members. Incidentally, the README.txt file for WordPress actually uses the directory /blogs as an example:
* If you want to have your WordPress MU installation in its own
subdirectory on your web site (e.g. http://example.com/blogs/),
rename the directory wordpressmu to the name you’d like the
subdirectory to have and move or upload it to your web server.
For example if you want the WordPress MU installation in a
subdirectory called “blog”, you should rename the directory called
“wordpressmu” to “blogs” and upload it to the root directory of your
web server.
I imagine this may be a problem for others who went in this direction. Are you saying that those of us in this situation are out of luck with BuddyPress unless we reinstall and try to import all of our users’ blogs into the new site?
Thanks again, I do appreciate your time on this.
Don’t install BuddyPress in /blogs
Make sure you are starting your customization with the latest trunk brad85. I don’t know what ver of bp’s home theme you are customizing. In the latest trunk there are two functions that control what goes on in the login/signup buttons. The bp home theme header.php file calls <?php bp_login_bar() ?>. In that fn it calls bp_signup_page() which you see below:
function bp_has_custom_signup_page() {
if ( file_exists( WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/themes/’ . get_blog_option( 1, ‘template’) . ‘/register.php’) )
return true;
return false;
}
function bp_signup_page( $echo = true ) {
global $bp;
if ( bp_has_custom_signup_page() ) {
if ( $echo )
echo $bp->root_domain . ‘/’ . REGISTER_SLUG;
else
return $bp->root_domain . ‘/’ . REGISTER_SLUG;
} else {
if ( $echo )
echo $bp->root_domain . ‘/wp-signup.php’;
else
return $bp->root_domain . ‘/wp-signup.php’;
}
}
Unless you don’t have the register.php file in /themes/<your theme>, or you’ve somehow altered the header calling sequence so this code doesn’t run, then it should work fine. The signup button should not have anything to do with wp-login.php
