@Gpo1
The first image is simply a shot of my homepage (P2) while logged in. You can see the post-form is now activated and the BP nav bar engaged with “My Account”, etc. showing.
The second image is a modified version of the BP Member Theme.
@Scotm, Is it the member theme or what for the first flickr or what?
I’m having slashes NOT being sripped on my BuddyPress side of things. Like if I name the BASE information in a persons profile to “settings” or ‘settings’ or setting’s…basically anything with a single or double-quote I get the crazy slashes all over the place.
My PHP info reveals that
magic_quotes_gpc On On
magic_quotes_runtime Off Off
magic_quotes_sybase Off Off
Is this correct? And if not, how do I fix it?
@M All of the BP settings are intact, however with registrations turned off and if you’re not logged in as a member they don’t appear in the BP nav bar. I have the BP components working nicely and if the plugin can be activated via the Setting panel I’m good to go.

Looking forward to your release jedi @M
@Cluelessbutpersistent – if you post the site URL where you saw then it’s possible someone could recreate the functionality… Also, where can someone find the totska plugin?
@Scotm – so you have the BP nav bar at the top but only part of the nav items are available. Any plans to add more items, such as a My Account aspect? If so then people would have access to Settings, and thus, you could use this BP Twitter plugin that we’re creating.
If not then you could add a link to either /members/[username]/settings or /members/[username]/settings/twitter-admin to adjust their Twittter login info, and to /members/[username]/settings/twitter for viewing tweets etc. – and the plugin would work that way. Basically what I’m saying is that people need a way to configure their Twitter account – and if you’re not using the other aspects of BP then what’s the point of using BP in the first place? You could use P2 on top of WPMU without BP.
Hello,
I’ve had a good look to see if I can find an answer to this, but no luck – sorry if I’ve missed anything obvious!
Will it be possible for admins to add fields to user details at some point? And to make certain fields mandatory? So a user could be required (for example) to give their location and say what kind of movies they like, and someone else could then search for Comedies London to find other people who like comedies in London?
I think this could give niche BuddyPress sites a significant networking advantage over Facebook.
Thanks for all your work on the most interesting project around.

Nice catch! You’re correct. The BuddyPress Support Plugin is still versioned as 1.0-RC1.
I’m use to thinking in terms of file names. In this particular case, buddypress-enable.php. So, I incorrectly made a wrong assumption.
@Ehegwer-
Make sure that you carefully read the installation-readme.txt file included in /buddypress/bp-forums/ folder.
You state that your:
buddypress integration plugin [is] (installed in my-plugins)
This is not the proper location. See Step 6 of installation-readme.txt:
In the bp-forums component there is a /bbpress-plugins/ folder. Copy the ‘buddypress-enable.php’ plugin file from that folder into your bbpress plugins folder (eg domain/bbpress/bb-plugins/)
Hi,
are there any reference-websites which are being run in 2 languages and can confirm that ONE BuddyPress-installation is sufficient to be able to run 2 languages ?
Many thanks,
Erich

Okay, a couple of additional questions:
You state that permissions for blog.dir is set to 777 and it is owned by your FTP account. Is the owner of your FTP account the same as the owner of your html folder? If not, that may be your problem.
The error message you listed, “Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/”, can indicate several things including an improper virtual host set up. Are you on a dedicated server or a shared hosting account? I would contact your ISP and ask for assistance with this particular error.
Also, with regards to that error, if you’ve customized your .htaccess file, you might have inadvertently made some changes that could cause this issue. You can always try adding:
Options +Indexes
to your .htaccess file, but that would not really help to determine why this error is being thrown in the first place. I would prefer that you get WPMU + BuddyPress functioning with the default .htaccess file.
Was WordPress Mu working without issue before installing BuddyPress?
Do not use Servers such as Bluehost or Hostmonster to help install BuddyPress. It fails terribly. Do it manually by uploading WordPress MU into your server. Create a database by using MySQL Database, usually provided by the servers. Use the database to create a wp-config file for WordPress MU. They will guide you into installing WordPress MU. After, just use WordPress MU to find for BuddyPress. It will work. Remember to move the themes from the plugin folder to the theme folders (bphome).
So i need to do away with the 3 column layout…Can someone give an small example of how to use widgets like online members,wire etc explicitly without using it as widgets
You are really asking for specific help on creating a custom, 2-column home theme that is hardcoded for outputting specific data without using widgets.
If you do not have previous theming experience, this is not something that can be shown to you with a “small example” or in a simple way.
You need to learn about WordPress theming. BuddyPress themes, after all, are just another type of WordPress theme. Here are some links to help you get started:
- Designing and Laying Out Your Theme
- Instead of hardcoding the output, you may want to design your theme to use the exisiting widgets. You can control some of the widget output with your own custom CSS. Widgetizing Themes
- Finally, to help you with CSS styling your custom theme, you should be using FireFox with the Firebug Add-on.

In English it is in the BuddyPress Plugin – xProfile.
Click on:
BuddyPress > Profile Field Setup
The instructions read:
“Your users will distinguish themselves through their profile page. You must give them profile fields that allow them to describe themselves in a way that is relevant to the theme of your social network.
NOTE: Any fields in the first group will appear on the signup page.”
And it works very well! 
I am using my main blog for news about the buddypress website. Accordingly I want the blog title and tagline to say stuff like “news about” or “site updates” etc. However, if I change the general settings to this, then my whole site name changes to these inputs.
I understand that this is a WPMU issue as in WPMU the main blog is the site however, is it possible to set differnet titles and descriptions for the site as a whole so it shows appropriately in Google?
Also, what would be the RSS feed of my main blog?
From what I can see, the latest BuddyPress Support Plugin for bbpress is still version 1.0-RC1, even in BuddyPress 1.0 (or at least its marked that way).
There is no BuddyPress Support Plugin 1.0.
Hmm… I have these same versions and after changing doing the cookie integration and getting everything “set up” I can no longer access the back-end of BBPress. My user is no longer the ‘key master’ or admin for BBPress.
Let me break this down with some more detail, I really want to get this working!
Versions I’m using
- WPMU 2.7.1
- BuddyPress 1.0
- bbpress-1.0-rc-1
Steps
I got WPMU 2.7.1 and BuddyPress 1.0 installed fine so I’ll just skip that part entirely.
- As directed from multiple sources about integrating BBPress, I erased the Authentication Unique Keys from wp-config and then proceeded to log into the WPMU back end where it presented me with newly genereated ones for: ‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘AUTH_KEY’, AUTH_SALT, LOGGED_IN_KEY LOGGED_IN_SALT SECURE_AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_SALT
- I created a folder named ‘forums’ (I realize that this can be named whatever I want) and put all of the files from the BBPress 1.0 RC-1 in there.
- I went through the install steps, filling out the database info but skipping the ‘Integrate with WordPress’ steps in order to do this later in the BBPress admin panel.
- I get that all set up and go to the BBPress admin panel where I fill out the necessary info for integration with WordPress, sharing the same database, filling out the salts which are the same ones I used in wp-config.
-
- I put define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/domain/forums/’); into my wp-config file as directed by BBPress instructions.
- I also made sure that the AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, and LOGGED_IN_KEY in wp-config.php matched BB_AUTH_KEY, BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY and BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY in bb-config.php
Now, after doing all that I headed back to the admin panel for BuddyPress and filled out the information for integration with BBPress there. Now, when I go to my BBPress forums page and log in as my admin account on BuddyPress/WPMU I am not the admin on BBPress and thus cannot access the back-end. This isn’t the only problem, although it is the main one. I also cannot get my groups on BuddyPress to generate a forum topic when I try to do so it gives an error and says that it couldn’t.
I am going to attempt again with Trevor’s instructions but there are some fuzzy bits in there so I just want to make sure I’m attempting to do this correctly with the correct versions of WPMU, BuddyPress and BBPress. **Note that I cannot find any of the earlier Alphas on the BBPress site, so if I am using the wrong one…am I S.O.L.?
Hi guys,
I am unable to integrate buddypress with bbpress. I have done all the steps that are included in the installation readme, such as doing the integration steps during the creation of wp-config.php file, copying the buddypress-enable to the bbforum bb-plugins as well as the creation of user at both buddypress and bbpress. Group Forums still does not appear. I have also typed in the details in Forum Setup under BuddyPress section. It still doesn’t work. Why?
some wordpress plugins work with buddypress, did you search for plugins?
You will need to install two or more language translations under bp-languages, but you NEVER NEED two buddypress installations.
I have the KalturaCE – self hosted on my server. slicehosted
Looks great and the plugin looks good for wpmu / buddypress so far, just no video showing.
Strange thing is that the videos etc. all show in the KMC – kaltura mgmt. console.
With the connect to kaltura hosted version requires each contributor to have a partner id – or they would , if using my id, be able to edit my vids as well.
I think that I with self hosted I can make kaltura setup with a unique id per user and not require users to get a kaltura id etc.
or I go red5.
I have some experience already with red5, all that would be needed is integration into wpmu / bp.
btw – kaltura is lowwwww on documentation , and since I am not paying support …… yet.
And the forums are new still.
