This is the error Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /home/blogpeor/public_html/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/functions.php on line 13
This is for sites that want to use bbPress as it was intended. As a forum. bbPress is designed to be that. The feature set of vertical software is more rich than horizontal software. bbPress does things now that bp doesn’t do and may never do.
I like having a forum interface to bbPress in bp. I’d like to see a blog interface also. I don’t expect the feature set to be the same.
It’s wonderful that bp has a forum interface since I think that forums are an extremely important part of social software. People who get together in groups like to talk. I think that the tools we use to communicate can constrain or enable that communication.
The purpose of bbGroups is to extend bp’s native strengths.
Burt – Congrats on what appears to be a successful plugin. Could you humor me? I don’t quite understand the use case for it. Is it for folks who want to leave the confines of the BP Group forums and interact via the bbPress door to the same forums? I don’t deny that someone would but I’m not sure why since they can do it right there in BP (at least on my site)

Running RC1. I still can’t upload any avatars, and the Recent Blogs widget causes errors on the widget page.
Hey John. I was just going to suggest on the other thread that we move any discussion to here. You’re way ahead of me.
Keep banging on it.
There are things that have been left out intentionally. Lack of time. Don’t know what to do with certain things. Certain areas in bp haven’t been fully developed yet.
It’s not a stupid question, but it is worded a little strangely.
BuddyPress basically works inside/outside of WPMU, taking what is otherwise just a random assortment of administered blogs, and adds a social networking flair on top of it to allow a layer of interaction between registered users and blog owners.
One install of BuddyPress per one install of WPMU.
Does that make sense?
So far this is working for exactly as advertised and intended. Major thumbs up and I’m quite surprised it isn’t a built in part of BP.
Haha… You know I can sense your sarcasm, even through the internet. 
I’m gonna. Gotta do some things first.
I like your attitude John. You’re so laid back. Hardly anything gets you excited.
BuddyPress is a set of WPMU plugins, so if you want add new feature, install it and have extended profile, private messages, ecc… the answer for your question is Yes, you can.
We have liftoff! All systems go! Let me take a look around and see what this thing can do!
Try this one. I just changed the fn names on the bbpress side to be unique and wrapped a couple of fns in if(function_exists()) that I know are mu fns.

ok. Thanks John. Gimme a few and I’ll change the fn names to be unique on both sides.
Okay, got everything installed, no errors, however when I try to import, I get…
Last import Saturday 14th of February 2009 03:41:32 PM, 1 seconds
0 groups with forums enabled
0 forums updated
0 users updated
However I do have 1 group, with 4 users in it, that does have a forum already active. There aren’t any topics in that forum however.
When activating the oci_bb_groups_forums.php plugin, I receive this error…
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare oci_server_methods() (previously declared in [...]/wp-content/mu-plugins/oci_bp_group_forums.php:417) in [...]/discussions/my-plugins/oci_bb_group_forums.php on line 249
This comes from my using “deep integration” on the bbPress side, including wp-load.php to allow access to the WP/BP functions (despite being told not to do this, ha!)
Adding some if function does not exist checks might be a good measure…
Did this for:
oci_service_methods
oci_escape
oci_authenticate
oci_xmlrpc_query
trailingslashit
untrailingslashit
Also, I added this around the ixr inclusion:
if (defined(BACKPRESS_PATH)) {
require_once( BACKPRESS_PATH . '/class.ixr.php' );
}
Might not be correct, but it did get rid of the double inclusion for me.
After those changes I was able to get that file to include without problem. Gonna keep testing.
lol! Yay! I’m gonna give it a whirl right now! Ha ha!
You probably will be John. You posted 16 minutes ago:

I haven’t even done an announcement message yet.
Yay! Very happy to hear about this, and I will try to be one of the first to try it out!
u’re welcome mark, i’ve announced this in the buddypress-it.it site (italian) if the german team have a solution, please share it! 
arturo84, thanks for your quick reply. Feedback becalms in first…
So: Andy Andy Andy (we believe in you)
P.S.: i announced this issue in the german BuddyPress forum.
Sadly, i must confirm this issue with a german BP RC1, too … 
Exactly the same problem as sgrunt declared.
The only workaround to handle/ display widgets again seems to be deleting the wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-languages/buddypress-de_DE.mo (or what language ever).
Praying for this issue being solved soon, since I had planed to launch my BP-Site “officially” this weekend …
Arturo i’m visiting buddypress ita, but i’ve not found any updated file, could you write something when it will be available for download? tnx!
