BuddyPress.org

Check:

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-signup.php

BP 1.0.2 is the last version compatible with MU 2.7.1.

If I were you, I’d wait for the next version of BuddyPress – version 1.1 scheduled to be released next week.

You would need to upgrade WPMU to 2.8.4.

—

When you upgrade, make sure you backup everything! (database, wp-content directory)

Deactivate all plugins, rename “mu-plugins” folder (if you use mu-plugins) and then install WPMU over your existing install.

Next, install new version of BuddyPress, reactivate plugins and everything should be good (I say should because each case is different!).

Since you didn’t mention bbPress, I presume you don’t have to worry about it, which is good, since that takes out one main item out of the equation!

they haven’t create it yet “BBpressMU” or I think it’s called “Talkpress”.

You want the user create one forum topic or have their own forum?

Andre Tan, I suspect the issues you’re having are related to shared hosting + the XMLRPC interface for including forums into groups. Future versions of BuddyPress will not have this problem as it includes bbPress and references it directly going forward.

It may still end up being a little heavy on the server, but you should experience the random load issues that you are currently.

BuddyPress has functions to get most of the data that you need without globaizing the $bp. I think different people will give you different answers about globals, but the general idea is that the less you use them is the better off you will be.

BuddyPress wraps most of the return/echo functions for most content in the -templatetags.php files for each specific component. If you need data that isn’t available, you can always build your own function in bp-custom.php or whatever.

If you look at the built in BP functions, you’ll see that $bp is globalized a lot in those functions, so the answer to your question comes down to the nuts and bolts of how PHP operates deep within the core of it, and how globals are processed on a per library basis and at what point in the process it occurs.

Long story short, if it gets you where you need to be safely, it’s probably fine enough unless you notice a slow-down or something.

For some how the code above did not go through correcty, I will paste the first part again:

<div id="search-login-bar">



<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>



<div id="logout-link">

<?php bp_loggedinuser_avatar_thumbnail( 20, 20 ) ?> &nbsp;

<?php bp_loggedinuser_link() ?>

<?php

if ( function_exists('wp_logout_url') ) {

$logout_link = '/ <a href="' . wp_logout_url( $bp->root_domain ) . '">' . __( 'Log Out', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';

} else {

$logout_link = '/ <a href="' . $bp->root_domain . '/wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=' . $bp->root_domain . '">' . __( 'Log Out', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';

}



echo apply_filters( 'bp_logout_link', $logout_link );

?>



<?php do_action( 'bp_login_bar_logged_in' ) ?>

</div>



<?php elseif ( get_option('users_can_register') ) : ?>



<form name="login-form" id="login-form" action="<?php echo $bp->root_domain . '/wp-login.php' ?>" method="post">

<input type="text" name="log" id="user_login" value="<?php _e( 'Username', 'buddypress' ) ?>" onfocus="if (this.value == '<?php _e( 'Username', 'buddypress' ) ?>') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = '<?php _e( 'Username', 'buddypress' ) ?>';}" />

<input type="password" name="pwd" id="user_pass" class="input" value="" />



<input type="checkbox" name="rememberme" id="rememberme" value="forever" title="<?php _e( 'Remember Me', 'buddypress' ) ?>" />



<input type="submit" name="wp-submit" id="wp-submit" value="<?php _e( 'Log In', 'buddypress' ) ?>"/>

<input type="button" name="signup-submit" id="signup-submit" value="<?php _e( 'Sign Up', 'buddypress' ) ?>" onclick="location.href='<?php echo bp_signup_page() ?>'" />



<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="http://<?php echo $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ?>" />

<input type="hidden" name="testcookie" value="1" />



<?php do_action( 'bp_login_bar_logged_out' ) ?>

</form>

<?php endif // get_option('users_can_register') ?>



<div class="clear"></div>

Hi Kunal17, I use prologue theme as default user theme and I also wanted to keep the login form on top, so I added this to the header of the prologue theme:

<div id=”search-login-bar”>

<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

<div id=”logout-link”>

<?php bp_loggedinuser_avatar_thumbnail( 20, 20 ) ?>  

<?php bp_loggedinuser_link() ?>

<?php

if ( function_exists(‘wp_logout_url’) ) {

$logout_link = ‘/ root_domain ) . ‘”>’ . __( ‘Log Out’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘‘;

} else {

$logout_link = ‘/ root_domain . ‘/wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=’ . $bp->root_domain . ‘”>’ . __( ‘Log Out’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘‘;

}

echo apply_filters( ‘bp_logout_link’, $logout_link );

?>

<?php do_action( ‘bp_login_bar_logged_in’ ) ?>

</div>

<?php elseif ( get_option(‘users_can_register’) ) : ?>

<form name=”login-form” id=”login-form” action=”<?php echo $bp->root_domain . ‘/wp-login.php’ ?>” method=”post”>

<input type=”text” name=”log” id=”user_login” value=”<?php _e( ‘Username’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>” onfocus=”if (this.value == ‘<?php _e( ‘Username’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>’) {this.value = ”;}” onblur=”if (this.value == ”) {this.value = ‘<?php _e( ‘Username’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>’;}” />

<input type=”password” name=”pwd” id=”user_pass” class=”input” value=”” />

<input type=”checkbox” name=”rememberme” id=”rememberme” value=”forever” title=”<?php _e( ‘Remember Me’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>” />

<input type=”submit” name=”wp-submit” id=”wp-submit” value=”<?php _e( ‘Log In’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>”/>

<input type=”button” name=”signup-submit” id=”signup-submit” value=”<?php _e( ‘Sign Up’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>” onclick=”location.href='<?php echo bp_signup_page() ?>'” />

<input type=”hidden” name=”redirect_to” value=”http://&lt;?php echo $_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’] . $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] ?>” />

<input type=”hidden” name=”testcookie” value=”1″ />

<?php do_action( ‘bp_login_bar_logged_out’ ) ?>

</form>

<?php endif // get_option(‘users_can_register’) ?>

<div class=”clear”></div>

</div>

You can maybe replace the

<div id=”search-login-bar”>

<?php bp_login_bar() ?>

<div class=”clear”></div>

</div>

part of your header.php file with the first code and I hope it will work for you.

Just disable blog registrations in your Site Admin > Options panel. And please take some time to do a cursory search of Google or the WPMU forums as this is a basic question and nothing to do with Buddypress.
