We’re just about finished creating a new Twitter plugin designed especially for Buddypress. Here’s a list of features – and we’ll update this thread with a URL for more info when we release the plugin in the next couple of days:
– Adds a new Settings page for people to configure their Twitter ID and psw.
– Adds options to selectively tweet posts (in the Add New post screen for blogs – if the blogs component is enabled in BP )
– Adds a screen where logged-in users can send tweets from within BP if they’ve configured their Twitter login details.
– Adds all new tweets sent from within BP to the Activity page (but not for tweeted posts since new posts already show up there)
– Integrates a Twitter menu item in the user’s public nav bar if they’ve configured their Twitter ID and psw. This allows the public to view the user’s last 20 tweets. It also shows the number of “followers” and “following” for the user, plus the total tweet count.
– Integrates a Twitter Trends pages that shows the most popular search phrases at Twitter over a 7 day time span. There is also an option to display today’s trends at the bottom of a user’s list of tweets.
– Adds a multi-instance widget to the blogs (if the blogs module is enabled in BP) to display tweets in the sidebar. Because this is a multi-instance widget it can be used for blogs that have more than one author or for users who have more than one Twitter account – e.g. each widget instance can be configured with a unique Twitter account.
– It’s performance friendly. After getting the user’s tweets from Twitter the data is stored for one hour before being refreshed – unless a user posts a tweet from within BP or tweets a blog post – in those cases the cache refreshes. The same holds true for the trends data – except trends data is site-wide, meaning it is only downloaded once per hour regardless of how many users have Twitter configured in their account.
– The caching mechanism works with WP Cache (or other cache tools that integrate WP Cache – such as WP Super Cache and derivatives) and if there’s no caching enabled then it will use the database to cache data.
So that’s it at the moment. Any wish list items before we wrap this up?
Okay. I am working on a site that is using groups — some private, some public. I had the brilliant idea to use .htaccess rules to keep people out of the forums directory, so the forums of the “private” groups would actually be private.
The only problem with this, is that every time I disable browsing the /forums directory, it breaks forums for the entire site. I have tried various configurations of deny all, allow localhost, 127.0.0.1, and the server’s own IP address. and still no dice.
Doesn’t buddypress pull forum posts straight from the MySQL db? Can someone give me a clue about this?
I’ve worked through the full integration of everything and I’m having issues with the permalinks that are created in my buddypress installation to the forums.
WPMU 2.7.1, BP 1.0, bbpress 1.0 alpha 6
The integration works perfectly and it looks like the xml-rpc works because creating things on either side works. I can create a post from the members group and it shows up under the forums. Conversely, I can reply in the forums and see the thread on the group thread. My problem is with the links that are created.
Under the “active forum topics” section, i see my thread but the link to it is wrong. This works the same as the “see all” link which i believe should go to the forum itself. Those are both slugs so I think there’s something wrong there. In fact, I reinstalled everything and used all default permalinks for all items just in case there was an issue there.
Is there something that i’m missing?
Thanks for the help.

Phew. Now that all the formalities are out of the way, allow me to describe the problem:
I have had buddpress and wpmu, both current versions, running and working well on my local server for about 2 weeks now. I took my live site down today to flush the changes there and decided I would use the built-in mechanism for installing plugins in wpmu 2.7.1, since I have had success here in the past.
Although the plugin downloaded and installed correctly, when I pressed the “Activate Now” button, the server just hung on the same page. If I pressed the button more than once it would still hang. I tried to navigate away from the plugin installer page and activate the plugin on the actual plugins page, but I was unable to go there. That’s when I realized that clicking any link in my backend resulted in the server endlessly stalling at “Waiting for response from server”
With my wits about me I decided I would go the manual route and remove buddypress from my live site’s “plugins” folder, and set it up the manual way. Immediately after removing the folder I got my site dashboard back again and things were working as they were. I thought if I put the buddpress folder from my local plugins folder to my live site’s plugin folder I would be able to navigate to the plugin menu on the live site and get back to activating it. The moment I copied the folder to my live site my dashboard once again began exhibiting the same stalling behavior.
I again removed the buddpress folder from my plugins folder on my live site, and again visited the plugins page. This is when I noticed a plugin with a blank title that appeared to be activated sitewide. “Ah,” I thought to myself, “WordPress is obviously trying to activate buddypress even though it’s not present on the live server anymore.” So I went ahead and clicked “Deactivate” to get rid of that problem and lo and behold, the plugin did indeed deactivate.
Problem fixed right? Wrong. Now I’m in this silly rut where anytime I copy the buddypress folder either from the buddypress download or from my local server to the live server plugins folder, the whole site hangs.
I won’t say I don’t have other plugins installed, I do, but all of them are also on my live server so any conflicts would have been picked up there.
I’m really lost on this one and don’t usually crawl the forums for support, but I am anxious to get my site back to live status and flushed with a brand spankin new install of this wonderful software. Please, help me if you can.

P.S. It is my birthday today (for reals), so extra brownie points if you solve this one.
