I am working with custom.css in both the buddypress-home > css and buddypress-member > css. And I can’t change that alphabet.
we could use flicker plugin 4 bp..maybe someone could create a plugin or guide on making bp plugin?
I am building an Alumni social media site for West Point at http://buglenotes.com
Well, you can look at this post for a quick hack to only allow members to see anything on member profiles, groups, etc. That post has a hack that applies to the /wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/ theme. The buddypress-home theme in /wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/ doesn’t get the hack 
You could apply it to buddypress-home theme in certain places if you don’t even want them to be able to search the blogs, groups, members, etc. but that would be a little harder to follow.
Then, on private blogs, I just use more privacy options so that private and no search engine blogs don’t show in any listings around the site. You can hack the code to actually list them in buddypress if you want, but default pattern is to not show them.
So basically, I would set the privacy for all blogs you don’t want showing and leave the main blog open. It is done with that plugin on a blog by blog basis.
Once Andy puts more of this into the core, it will be much easier, but for now we have to “hack” around a bit

Any css you put in custom.css overrides *all* css. Unless groups css is being loaded after custom.css and in that case it’s a bug and should be reported in trac. Don’t think it is though.
Example:
ul#group-list li, ul#member-list li, ul#blog-list li, ul#comment-list li, ul.item-list li { background: url(../images/message_thread_back.gif) top left repeat-x;}
That’s in ../member-themes/buddypress-member/css/groups.css. In your custom.css file you can change the ‘message_thread_back.gif’ to something else by overriding it in custom.css
ul#group-list li, ul#member-list li, ul#blog-list li, ul#comment-list li, ul.item-list li { background: url(../images/my_fav_message_thread_back.gif) top left repeat-x;}
This what you need?
function site_url() is a mu 2.6+ thing. I saw a post from you about what ver mu for buddypress. The answer is 2.6+.
Yes it will be done in next release i hope
burtadsit,
I’m running on a shared host and I can report the same issue. Seems like the actual BuddyPress forums on the testbp.org site are appending a unique forum id, which is not happening for me, most probably because forum posts aren’t posting. A vicious cycle 
I see a need for both Photo Book and Flickr approaches. I’m sure both will exist at some point in the future.
I understand. You can do that with php, but i suggest you to wait next buddypress release that adds Photo Book feature
Basically showing a Flickr stream on a profile page. For example on my profile page, I would allow someone to see my latest posted Flickr images. I’m pretty sure this will need to be a customized BP component.
If you’re using the buddypress theme you could add as left-coloumn widget, the activities’ widget. Simpler than that! 
I have installed a few different plug-ins for wp-mu, neither have seemed to work when using buddypress. 
Maybe I should make sure I edited/installed/configured them right, think I did though…
It isn’t a buddypress configuration, but it depends on wp-mu.
The choice are two: editing wp-signup, or install plug-ins and edit buddypress template, now it’s so complicated if you don’t know php or if you don’t want writing code..
I’m using all the latest versions of code. 2.7 trunk 1578, buddypress 1 beta
home theme
What does integration means for you?
Where do you like using integrations ?
Hi
The Spanish community of Buddypress users

@gpo1 when you type “Users will be able to upload videos or ‘link’ videos from youtube and similar websites” do you mean embed the videos?
Currently I embed videos in my WordPress sites w/ Vodpod. It works with almost any video hosting site but it’s not the best solution. Have yet to test it on buddypress.
I was part of an online community called the ORG that had a very slick solution. All media was entered into one media entry box. Just by adding the URL to the flickr photo or YouTube video the site took care of seeking out the proper embed code and placed it in the photos gallery or video gallery. No idea how “Support and Comfort” did it but it sure was handy.
Perhaps there’s a flickr plugin out there now that could be close, without reinventing the wheel. Even considering throwing a few dollars at a developer this but need more input, support, and feedback.
I am using buddypress beta and my hosting is linux (ixwebhosting)
I can duplicate a problem like yours on windows but not on linux.
What version of buddypress is everyone in this thread using?
those are set to 755. I literally went through every single file twice and all buddypress files are 755.
@bloggerhistory Check the permissions in /wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/css
Those 3 files and the css dir should be 755.
Just got the basics up and running. I want to do some serious changes to Groups but I don’t know if I am going to be able to(time and skill wise) This is just a little experiment that I have on my linux box at home in my free time but I would not have gotten this far without wp/bp.
