Hi there,
I’ve found Author Avatars List plugin. This wigdet has pretty flexible avatar display options. After some modifications Changeset 118704, maded by author bforchhammer, it now works with Buddypress. There is one bug with linking avatars to member profiles, but I believe it will be solved in near future. You can download it through SVN.
@M , you are good…. Can you create a page for followers avatar with tweets updates etc?
Yes, Jeff. I checked. It is just that I am getting errors clicking on members, profile etc. I can’t use the BuddyPress Features at all.

You can add new profile fields in the bp menue in your WPMU admin area.
Open there the Buddypress menue and click “Profilefelder” (I guess you are German) 
A http://-entry will be displayed automatically as a Link.

hmmm… any ideas?
What tables there should be in the database when using buddypress+wpmu+bbpress?
I noticed that i don’t have any table for bp-forums. It was mentioned in some topic here to check out the bp_forums table (not the same problem as mine though) and I just checked tables and noticed that one is actually missing.
How that can be? I have not deleted it. And forums worked fine some time ago, but now they don’t. Before this problem I was able to create new groups in BP and they was created to bbforums as well. Now I can create new groups too, but bbpress doesn’t find them. I can post a new topic and reply posts in bbpress, but not in BP forums.
If I try to post a new topic or reply I get a red error message: “There was an error posting that topic.”
This is how I made them play nice together also. As a matter of fact, I commented out that filter entirely with no adverse effects, and instead hooked a few other of the BuddyPress URL making functions.
I’ll be working more on this tomorrow so I’ll post some details in this same post at that point.
hey everybody!
first of all: sorry for my bad english.
is there any chance to extend the buddypress profiles? it would be nice if i could modify the profile fields und add fields like icq, skype and things like that? or an profile field for members website address that automaticly links to the url?
thanks everbody
There have been a few problems lately since I’ve been upgrading from BuddyPress RC1 to RC2 and finally to v1.0. First I’ve been thinking the problem was strictly BuddyPress related because the slugs like “groups”, “blogs”, “activity” and other BuddyPress specific slugs gave a dreadfull 404 error.
The problem was tracked down to qTranslate; which cleans the url in it’s hooks routines.
A temporary fix, to get your main blog working with BuddyPress and qTranslate is to disable clean_url temporary. This could affect SEO results so be careful!
edit qtranslate_hooks.php
find the line add_filter(‘clean_url’,’qtrans_convertURL’);
change this to:
if (!$wpdb->blogid = 1) { // or any blogid which doesn’t need to serve this ‘bug’…
add_filter(‘clean_url’,’qtrans_convertURL’);
}
I’ve tried putting the remove_filter(‘clean_url’,’qtrans_convertURL’) line in a seperate file to serve as plug-in but it seemed not to work at all, only by changing hard-coded… Anyone?

Hmm … problem in the link. If after the group-avatar to /, the page opens … How to configure .htaccess, that would always open group-avatar/ and change-avatar/?

This page does not work when you turn off boot avatar to the server as you https://buddypress.org/developers/***/profile/change-avatar

No, I do not help. GD libary installed and the correct permission blog folder.
Hi Jeff,
Sorry for my absence, it has been a busy few weeks. Susequent to my last post I have installed and reinstalled bbPress several times. Everytime I am able to get integration working fine. Login in both BuddyPress and bbPress is synchronized, posts made in groups show up in bbPress. Posts made in bbPress show up in BuddyPress groups. All copacetic.
The problem is that none of that activity is recorded in the site wide activity widget. Bummer. I have deactivated the forums system for the time being.
I am running WPMu 2.7.1 and BuddyPress 1.0 with bbPress 1.0 alpha 6.
Thanks for your interest.
@Scotm : You’re using P2 as your home theme – is there way for users to get to their Settings page (as seen in the default BP theme) ? I ask because in order to tweet to Twitter a username and password is required, so a user has to configure that somewhere first.
With this plugin, it adds a new item to the Settings menu so that users can config their username and password. So if you’re somehow integrating the Settings menu into your site and users can access it to configure their Twitter login info then I can add a template tag that can be used in P2 so that you can easily add the required HTML elements to your P2 post form to cause a ‘tweet to twitter’ feature to work pretty easily.
So in short it’d work like this: You include the template tag in your post form template code and that tag will insert a checkbox that says something like “Also tweet this to Twitter”. If the user checks the box when making a post then a tweet will be sent to Twitter. And if they don’t have their Twitter login info configured then the checkbox won’t even appear in the form. Instead there would be a short message like “You can tweet this to Twitter if you configure your Twitter user name and password in your profile settings”
Tweet search widget for blog sidebars is complete. On to P2 integration possibilities….
This is probably the 3rd post asking about buddypress.org theme. People should search carefully before posting.
There’re millions of css resources and samples on the net, and one can easily create or at least change a part of the theme to what they want. bp has custom.css and site-wide.css system which you can add/override css.
Tweet from Wire added today. Working on search for a sidebar widget now. Then we’ll have a look at P2 integration needs.
I like the default member theme and appreciate all of Andy’s hard work. I’m sure there are many more excellent updates to come!

Just putting this question out to the developer community here again…
No dis-respect to James and Andrew over at http://premium.wpmudev.com but I’m wondering if anybody has come across (or developed) any other paid upgrades type plugins or functionality for WPMU and/or preferrably BuddyPress?
I know the WPMU boys are working on a BP version of the supporter plugin but, as many developers here have highlighted, while the supporter plugin isn’t particularly expensive, when you have zero revenue a little can be a lot and we all love choice.
I am researching various security functions and plugins for use with my buddypress sites. I realize that some security issues have to do with the webhost, but I’d still like to take sensible and (in some cases) heightened precautions.
So I’ve started this thread to allow everyone to share their favorite security plugins/tools/code snippets or testing programs with the community.
Plugins
-WPMU Signup Captcha
-WP-Security
-Limit login attempts
-Members only
I’ve also heard good things about WP-Spamfree.
Thanks!
it seems that there is problem with storing of user activity, any help with coding or testing?
Hello!
I’ve just tried this plugin: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=381#post-1515
And it’s actually not working. When I activate the plugin, the group forums disappear in all BP groups.
Moreover, When I check the admin page of each BP groups, I can’t see the “activate forum option” anymore.
I’ve tried to place the plugin in both bb-plugins and my-plugins directories.
I’m using:
WPmu 2.7.1
BP 1.0 (oh yeah!)
bbpress 1.0 alpha 6
Am I the only one having this problem? Maybe the plugin is not working with the last version of BP?
Thanks a lot!!

To divide groups: suppose that similiar:
-…
– change in bp-groups.php groups_Setup_globals function:
<br />
$bp->groups->table_name = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_groups';<br />
$bp->groups->table_name_members = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_groups_members';<br />
$bp->groups->table_name_groupmeta = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_groups_groupmeta';<br />
(not checked)
Making bp-messages and bp-xprofile sites-ready should be similiar but in my case i will let them be global.
To divide blogs:
– described above change to bp-core
– change in bp-blogs.php bp_blogs_setup_globals function:
$bp->blogs->table_name = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_user_blogs';
$bp->blogs->table_name_blog_posts = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_user_blogs_posts';
$bp->blogs->table_name_blog_comments = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_user_blogs_comments';
$bp->blogs->table_name_blogmeta = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_user_blogs_blogmeta';
How to separate activity for each site:
– similiar change to bp-core.php as above
– change in bp-activity.php function bp_activity_setup_globals()
$bp->activity->table_name_user_activity = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_activity_user_activity';
$bp->activity->table_name_user_activity_cached = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_activity_user_activity_cached';
$bp->activity->table_name_sitewide = $wpdb->base_prefix . BP_ROOT_BLOG . '_' . 'bp_activity_sitewide';
-i don’t know why, but there was also necessary to comment this lines in bp-activity-classes.php function save() (what, as i suppose, may cause some problems):
//if ( !$this->item_id || !$this->user_id || $this->is_private || !$this->component_name )
//return false;
