bpContents 1.0 alpha 1
Requirements
WordPress MU 2.7.1
BuddyPress 1.0
Demo at: http://ourcommoninterest.org/
Description
bpContents is a sitewide content aggregation and organization tool for BuddyPress.
Features
Member, Group and Blog tagging.
Custom Member, Group and Blog directories. Standard WordPress tag cloud widgets and tag cloud template tags for Members, Groups and Blogs. Enhancements to the member theme by creating a new BP component.
Member Tags:
Each BuddyPress user can create profile tags that represent their interests. Visit My Account > Tags > Edit to create individual user tags. Enter a comma separated list of tags.
Member profiles have been extended to include their individual tags with a user tag cloud visible in each user’s profile – My Account > Profile. A tag cloud is visible in the option’s bar that represents that particular user’s tags.
The BP Member directory has been extended to include a site wide member tag cloud. Selecting a tag from the site wide cloud, displays all members with a similar tag in the directory. The directory functions as a normal member directory with letter selection and search active. The default BP directory was hijacked with one of Andy’s filters and the directory in /oci-contents/directories/members is displayed instead. The new tagging features in the directory were implemented by extending the default member template class and creating a new oci_has_site_members() template tag to fire up the extended template class.
A widget for sitewide Member Tags is distributed with bpContents. Activate it in the normal sidebar widget fashion through the wp back end Appearance > Widgets > Member Tags. The wp widget directs tag clicks to the bp member directory.
Group Tags:
Each BP Group can create individual tags to allow easier discovery. Any Group admin or moderator can create group tags by going to the group home page Groups > My Group > Tags.
The Group home has been extended with an individual group tag cloud visible in a similar place as the Member tags in the profile. Groups > My Group > Home.
The Group directory has been enhanced the same way as the Member directory.
A widget for sitewide Group Tags is distributed.
Blog Tags:
Each blog in a wpmu installation can be tagged through the blog’s Blog Tags widget. Visit Appearance > Widgets > Blog Tags.
There is an additional option in the Blog Tags widget for tags. Enter a comma seperated list of tag names to tag each individual blog. You do not have to actively display each blog’s Blog Tag widget. However you must use the blog widget on each blog at least once to create the tags for that blog. You can then uninstal the widget if you prefer not to display it. You just have to get those tags in there once by using it once and saving the widget. If you are not actively displaying a blog’s tag widget you’ll have to activate it temporarily to change the blog tags.
The BP Blog directory has been hijacked like the other directories. It displays a sitewide blog tag cloud and it functions as a normal directory also.
Installation:
1) unzip the bpcontents.zip file into /wp-contents/plugins/oci-contents
2) Copy the template directory /wp-content/plugins/oci-contents/oci-contents to the member theme directory:
/wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/oci-content
That directory should be at the same level as /bpmember/groups and /bpmember/profile etc..
2) activate the plugin site wide
Activating the plugin creates four new tables in the wpmu db.
oci_tree
oci_terms
oci_items
oci_tree_meta
Have fun, be good. ~ Burt

P.S. If you were running bpContents 0.1x Dev Sneak Peek previously, drop all the oci_ tables and then activate 1.0 Alpha 1.
I just registered new test accounts on my BuddyPress site and after I get the email activations and login, I can login to wp-admin with these “subscriber” accounts and change EVERYTHING on the back-end!
I look at user roles and they are still “subscribers” but the bar at the top says “Hi admin! You’re logged in as a site administrator.” What is going on here?! I know I installed BuddyPress correctly.
Using WPMU 2.7.1, BuddyPress 1.0 and BBPress alpha 6.

Have a look in this file:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php
I think you’ll find what you want!
Topic: Default Avatars
In buddypress under general settings there is an option to set a default avatar when a subscriber signs up if they don’t have a pic to upload to their profile.
the question is… can i create my own avatar that would be the default?
if so, how can I do this?
I tried looking in the images folder in buddypress to find a .gif file of an avatar, but no luck, unless I was looking in the wrong folder. all I want to do is change out one of the default avatar image files and use my own buddypress. anyone have any ideas?
I am looking to hire someone out to build a large social network for me using buddypress. Ideally this person would have developed at least a few buddypress themes and plugins for Buddypress.
If you are the person I am looking for – please respond to this post so we can chat about more details.
The social network is going to have between 500,000 and 1 million people in the next 6 months – so I need someone who can move fast and modify things quickly as we expand.
Thanks!

I’m running WordPress MU 2.7.1 on a HostGator server.
I’ve installed BuddyPress, all was working perfectly. (latest version… downloaded a couple of days ago.
I then attempted to install BBPress for forum functionality. Had to do a few workarounds, and can’t even remember exactly what I did to get it to work, but I could log in with same username and password on either the BBPress install or the BuddyPress install, so whatever I did, it worked.
My trouble started when I visited my MU admin section at http://twitterwatchdog.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-core.php and chose the “Mystery Man” avatar to be displayed for those who didn’t upload their own pic.
At that point, a visit back to http://twitterwatchdog.com/members/ suddenly yielded an error message saying I don’t have any BuddyPress Themes installed.
Long story short, they are. They are installed, and were working up until I hit the save settings button on the General Settings page of BuddyPress. Now, it’s asking me to choose between my standard themes on my site (those in wp-content/themes) and I know those won’t work.
Can someone tell me where to even START looking for the cause of this problem?
I’m thinking I need to uninstall the forums, but I don’t have a clue on how to even do that (It’s my first experience with BBPress)
So my friend can forget BP
