The questions still remains unanswered. Do we have to manually edit files when moving wordpress mu & buddypress to a different domain?
Dennis: What Nicola is doing over at BuddyPressDEV is not the official BuddyPress development cycle. He and the rest of the BPDEV gang are adding their own ideas.
So if you see something new and interesting over there it might just be one of Nicolas many widgets. 
They are 2 widgets i’ve written, asap on BuddyPressDEV
But thats some kind of strange because the demo should show the functions of buddypress.. So there shouldn’t be extra code added or?! Maybe somebody could poste that code here (;
Is there anybody share their experience with HyperDB for WPMU with Buddypress so far?
I’m experiencing the same issue as johnjamesjacoby. Any tips? Thanks in advance! 
Yes, same here. I upgraded both my BuddyPress and WordPress to the latest versions but error still persists.
I’m not sure but I’m guessing he modified the BuddyPress member theme.
Just a quick heads up: there are 66 new lines to translate in RC1 (and I was almost done, now I’m back to 85%…)
Well, it’s out now: https://buddypress.org/download/
I’m installing it as I type…
Well, haha… I’ve searched over there and no one seems to have answered other than “You can’t do it, follow the instructions retard.” Ha! BuddyPress users are just nicer overall. 
But hey, you’re right and I’ll give it a shot.
My BBPress installation cannot find my salt cookies even when I plug them into the install from wp-config.
They do not appear in my WPMU admin options menu.
I always get this message at the end of install:
>>> WordPress “auth” cookie salt not set.
>>>>>> Could not fetch “auth” cookie salt from the WordPress options table.
>>>>>> You will need to manually define the “auth” cookie salt in your database.
>>> WordPress “logged in” cookie salt not set.
>>>>>> Could not fetch “logged in” cookie salt from the WordPress options table.
>>>>>> You will need to manually define the “logged in” cookie salt in your database.
Forum could not be created!
Nevertheless, I get an email saying that the install was successful. But when I go to the BBPress admin in the WPMU dashboard it doesn’t see the installation.
Sorry, I don’t have a good experience with the BuddyPress trac. I can stop here, if you prefer.
The Fast Show sketch references are always appreciated.
Opps… appologies… looks like I was running *almost* the latest trunk build from svn.
I’ll get my coat
Right now I’m not sure how to handle the group deletion on the bbpress side. I can delete the forum if the group gets deleted ya. However, when I thought about it I decided to let the site admin/keymaster handle that now manually. The situation I thought of was a group admin gets bent out of shape, deletes the group and there goes a huge group asset if I just blindly kill the forum. So that action in bp is just being ignored now.
The only major problem I have now is that group join/leave in the group directories doesn’t work. Doesn’t even join/leave the group much less do what it’s supposed to in xmlrpc to talk to bbpress. It works in the member theme fine. Some sort of conflict in that context I have to track down.
tomorrow is over in 1 hour here in the UK.
at least it will be available when i get up – then i begin my social networking quest.
since you are on shared, you won’t have that option. i would try removing any additional plugins you have running, to eliminate those 1st. disable any through the site admin menu and remove anything other than buddypress in mu-plugins.
EDIT: also check and make 100% sure you have a .htaccess file, not just the htaccess.dist
Wow kudos for the in depth reply. I’m super excited to give this a shot, I’m actually waiting to go live until I see how this works.
I think it’s a great idea to keep things all synced up also. I made the mistake of adding a group forum in BuddyPress and deleting it in bbPress. Boy did that make things angry ha!
