My users have really taken to the WP-Admin-Bar plugin, which provides common links in the top bar above the blog and admin pages. This is replaced by the BuddyPress bar, and people are really missing some handy links from the old admin bar.
Is there a way I can add some of the links from the WP-Admin-Bar to the BuddyPress bar, ideally without needing to edit the file each time BuddyPress is updated?
@Enlightenmental1 – I consider it good alpha code right now. We’ll probably go straight from there to release.
Fields show up in the order they were created. By September… I would say 50% right now? There’s a few different things on the roadmap for what comes next, and you can always vote on what you think you’d like to see also.
The first blog visible on the buddypress.org homepage will link you to where you can vote for what you’d like to see come sooner or later. The votes will determine the path, so make sure to get involved.
@ M
cool.
beta testing on someone else’s site is not quite the same…. we have a very customized install.
if you package and release your current beta for download, I will test it on my server and report back what I find.
thanks either way
Not really off the ground yet, but definitely up and running. http://my.axelis.com
I have the Welcome Package plugin installed. I tried removing all plugins and that didn’t work though.
I don’t want to use Gravatar, that’s just the properties of the thumbnails, no matter what I upload it defaults to a gravatar image. I want the users to be able to upload directly in BuddyPress.
There is one error: (I think I am looking in the right spot for errors. (analysis and log files, Errors):
[Wed May 27 11:52:40 2009] [error] [client 66.249.71.151] File does not exist: /home/thehsm/public_html/wp-content/plugins/membership-site-memberwing/function.require-once

Is it possible to share the LogIn/SignOn between 2 installations of WPMU/Buddypress?
In my case it wouldn’t be a problem if the websites (language1/language2) run each on a seperate installation of WPMU/Buddypress, because i want a strict seperation of the content regarding to its language (webiste1 = language1 = only content written in language1 / website2 = language 2 = only content written in language2).
The only concern that holds me back from this type of multi language setup is the that i want my user to be able to switch between the language1-website and language2-website with only one Login. So if the user is logged in on language1.website.com he should be able to switch to language2.website.com without any additional login (similar to the WPMU/MediaWiKi plugin > https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2912).
@Enlightenmental1 – the beta is up on the test site for open use.
@ M
what’s the scheduled release for this?
if you offer up a beta version, lots of us would help test it to completion
thanks
Interesting!
Please submit a new bug ticket in trac.
@Macarti
Same problem here wp-themes/bpmember
If that is the case, then you have an incorrect directory name. The bpmember theme should be in /wp-contents/bp-themes/, not /wp-themes/.
Also, make sure that you do not have any old BuddyPress themes or old BP theme directories in /wp-content/.
@Ceeeeg
A few questions:
- Do you have any non-BuddyPress plugins installed?
- Do you have ANY errors in your server’s log files?
- Which version of the GD library are you using?
- Which version of PHP?
The avatar for mine it stays the same avatar no matter what I upload. It comes from Gravatar.
What do you have set in WPMU’s backend under “Settings > Discussion > Avatars >Default Avatar”?
Since you are using Gravatars, the avatar should change when you upload an new image to your gravatar.com account.
when I change the theme to the church theme that I am using on wpmu it does not work!
BuddyPress themes are special cases of WordPress themes. They have additional functions and some unique code that make them work in BP. So, you cannot take any WP theme and substitute it for a BuddyPress theme.
If you wish to use something other than one of the Standard BP themes, then you need to pick an already available custom BP theme, customize a WP theme to make it work in BP, or design your own BP custom theme from scratch. You can search the BP forums for advice on customizing themes to work in BP.
This is not a problem at all. BuddyPress is defined to work like that.
You are misunderstanding of differences between wpmu and buddypress.

Hi
I’ve installed WordPress MU and BuddyPress on a Windows2003 box running IIS. I need IIS because the rest of the site is built with asp.net 
I’ve got version 2.7.1 of wordpress and 1.0 of BuddyPress. I installed micronovae pro (http://www.micronovae.com/) to mimic mod_rewrite.
I’ve installed and activated the bphome theme. bp member is also installed.
The home page seems OK (http://www.travelcreators.co.uk/network/) but whenever I click on any links, such as the blog or members button, I get a 404 error.
Can you help me?
@M, But with your work rate on BP ,it slowly turning into FB..LOL
Please test it in Chrome ,missing send button & display not aligned properly !

@Staceyk18,
If you mean the buddybar (grey) at the top of the page, you can change it by going into:
wp-content>plugins>buddypress>bp-core>bp-core-adminbar.php
and
wp-content>plugins>buddypress>bp-core>css>admin-bar.css
If you want to add menus to the login bar, you’re better off setting up a bp-custom.php, this thread will have details on what to do (read thru the whole thread):

one problem.
(i think…) everytime someone sign up for new blog the db-cache is disabled.
that’s bad.
how do we force the check and always make dbcache enabled?
i tried remove this lines from db-options.php
/* if (!isset($config[‘enabled’]))
{
$config[‘enabled’] = false;
$cache_enabled = false;
}else
*/
and leave only this line:
$cache_enabled = true;
but dbcache does not seems enabled.
any idea?
tia.
Is there a plugin that can help me create a simple poll widget. I have looked around these and WPMU forums and there are several conflicting reviews.
I need it to run well with the buddypress home theme, no need to run on the member theme or user blogs.
I use WP-Polls on my wordpress blogs but I read on the developers forums that it has several issues with WPMU.
Yeah. Never mind. I’m quitting. Not going to use this any more. Too much trouble.
Additionally BuddyPress > General Settings doesn’t shows up.
