post requests there
Yes… I’ve posted this elsewhere (so please excuse me if I sound like a broken record) but it would be great if groups could share different kinds of content… photos (coming this fall?) videos, files and wiki’s (aka group-editable page/post).
Maybe once we are able to share blog posts in groups (as Andy mentions above)… wiki functionality could be wedged into groups simply by installing WordPress Wiki. Create a blog post, make it wiki-enabled and then share it with the group? Just a thought. Not sure if that would work or not.
I installed WPMU successfully and apply the BuddyPress mod, everything works fine, I’m at the step to add bbPress, should I create a new database for bbPress or can I use the same one I’m using for BuddyPress?
Thanks for all your help,

Hi – I’m new to WPmu and BuddyPress, and was wondering how you guys would approach setting up Buddypress if you wanted to have an experience similar to what Zappos is doing here:
http://blogs.zappos.com/
As you can see, each section has a different header and covers a different aspect of the Zappos business. I like this approach, and I’d like to set this up using WPmu and BP.
Conceptually, I’m not clear on WPmu’s blog hierarchy. For example, is the initial blog that is create a parent of others? Are all MU blogs created equal?
The key is that I’d like the to aggregate all site activity from all the different sections (or child blogs) – which BP does out of the box.
I don’t want to let just anyone create a blog, so the blog directory (e.g. http://testbp.org/blogs) will contain only 5 or 6 blogs. I also would them put them the header to serve as a primary way to navigate. The BP navigation would go under that.
Is this a good approach?
Ok, this one is some kind of hard for me to understand, but maybe someone in here has a solution for me. “My Account” in the BP-adminbar just disappeared, like it was just going on holiday without telling me. 
When I\’m in administration-area of my blog I still get the “My account” in the adminbar, but when viewing something in the home & bp-theme the “My account-menu” disappears. I still have My Blogs and Messages. – only the My Account Meny disappears.
I’we tried to activate english language, I’we tried to use to original bp-themes. I am running wpmu 2.7.1, and Buddypress 1. I do not have any idea what might happened when this menu went on holiday. What I did was just surfing the site, I did not even have ftp open.
I cant fint anything in the errorlog eighter. Did anyone of you guys have this problem,? and maybe a soultion for it?
Thanks in advance!
1.) adding someone as a moderator is the same as admin pretty much
3.) BP is not currently setup to do this, one way to accomplish this though, instead of doing <?PHP if is admin?> to create groups, do <?PHP if user is level X ?> then you can manually select users and make them authors or contributors… then they would have the power to create groups. this would also give them power to create blog posts on the main blog, so you may not want them to have that power.
hopefully in the future, BP will have more control over giving users authority levels and what not…
4.) bp is not setup to do this either yet. you would need to modify the core to allow that content to be displayed to non-members
everything you want IS possible, but would require some modifications to the core of buddypress. and this is not suggested

I understand! 
It is actually an issue with the way WordPress, or more precisely, Automattic has created the registration script. The script allows for spaces but then it can cause login problems.
Unfortunately, that issue needs to be addressed at a different level than BuddyPress. Since all of the moderators donate our time on these boards (i.e. we do not work for Automattic), we have no control over this issue.
As I said, I had the exact same issue and the only solution I had was to create a new username.
> This is not a BuddyPress issue.
Usual excuse of all programmers. It not the software problem, is a problem of the software user 
Do not take offence, it is humour. But the realistic humour.
I would consider using AWPCP “another wordpress classifieds plugin”
google it, it could easily be used for your purpose
and It works well on wpmu with buddypress

I am running BuddyPress 1.0, WP 2.7.
Are you running WP 2.7, as in single-user WordPress?
If so, that is your issue. BuddyPress only runs on WPMU (multi-user version). Also, you need to be running WPMU 2.7.1 and not 2.7.
I have just updated the seo for buddypress plugin to version 0.02 for integration with the bp-events plugin. So its possible to enter title, description and keywords for the following pages.
my events in profile
events home
events wire
events forum
events members
I have added a new field to my users profiles in “admin.php?page=buddypress/bp-xprofile.php”.
I made this a “datebox”. Now when i enter my birthday: 17 – July the website will set the date 1 day back to the 16th. Also the Month dropdown box has a value of ”
” after you have submitted the page.
Can this be fixed or can someone advise me on how to fix this?
But I can’t enter in my profile, settings, etc.. is this normal or bug?
For example http://buddypress.org/developers/ilya%20skorik/ turn me on main page http://buddypress.org/
Hi I have been away from the forums for some months and I can not find an answer to my problem.
I recently managed to integrate bbpress and buddypress but there are still some issues that I am concerned about.
Buddypress groups have forums now.
I can not post in the group forum and I get (There was an error posting that topic.) in a red bar accross the top of the post.
On bbpress when I click on a forum I get taken to
http://blogfred.com/forums/topic/your-first-topic
and on arrival to this page it says
Sorry, that page was not found
The page you were looking for was not found.
The other thing is that if I login to bbpress which logs me into buddypress and I try to access the admin of buddypress it asks for login again even though I am allready logged in.
So it seems that the login bar on buddypress shows me logged in but I am actually not
Has anyone come accross this.

I am understand all this. But the answer will be short – is not present? It is a pity that I cannot make a forum similar to a forum of this site.
I now try to understand, can I do migration from phpbb3 community on buddypress engine. While the answer one – I can not.
But the project very interesting. It is more than possibilities on moderation and to improve integration with popular forums…
yeah, I am on v1.2 of the component, i was just showing you what I thought was left out when we went to v1.2 from v1.1.
andy, you dirty dog. so it looks like the icon for a new component is no longer supported by the skeleton component v1.2?
hmmm, so how in the devil do I get this to work properly? it looks really odd on my site when all of the main components have an icon on the member theme, and mine doesn\’t.
I made all the changes you suggested, here is the copy of my code. Let me know if I made any mistakes.
http://pastebin.com/m57a2fc51 (v1.2 of my component file, bp-mystuff-cssjs.php)
http://pastebin.com/m69816adc (in my v1.2 file, bp-mystuff.php)
my plugin is now loaded into wp-content/plugins/bp-mystuff
i’m still not able to get an icon to show up.
You might try skimming through https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2511
I’ve been battling the same problem – except mine extends to several of the pages like “The Wire” “Activity” and a few other places.
1. Current Default version of PHP: 4. This is the default version of PHP that your site is currently using. Note that you can always choose between PHP4 and PHP5 for individual files by naming them with the corresponding extension. (Copied from IPower.com)
2. Haven\’t made any changes to the default .htaccess file
3. This might be the problem. I loaded the \”htaccess.dist\” with the files assuming it would put the .htaccess file. I\’ve tried three different buddypress installation ways – one through searching for the plugin inside wp-admin, one by installing the zip from here in the wp-admin, and one by ftp\’ing the contents of the zip. I would imagine one of them would have copied it over.
4. I installed WPMU from scratch, including making a new mySQL database for it right before loading BP.
5. No other plugins, pretty much running vanilla until I can get the pages I need working.
What do you think?

If you are asking about bbPress themes in general, then Google and you’ll see that there are a number of themes available for bbPress.
If you’re asking about specially customized BuddyPress-friendly bbPress themes, then the answer is as jjj points out above. With v1.0 of BuddyPress just released, theme designers are more than likely working hard at creating new, custom themes.
Once bbPress is publicly released in a stable version, I would imagine that some theme designers will create BuddyPress-friendly bbPress themes as well.
Remember, these are open source projects. The vast majority of the human resources poured into the community are done so for free. WordPress, BuddyPress, and bbPress all come with themes by default. It is up to the community to take those basic themes and create more flexible, powerful designs.
So, themes by default for bbpress are not present till now?
This is the problem I am having.
New user registers -> Activation email is sent -> User clicks on activation link -> User reaches confirmation page and then clicks on the login link -> User reaches a page not found
The user is still within the website so they can click any link to browse elsewhere so it is not a critical error but I would still like to find a solution for it.
I am running BuddyPress 1.0, WP 2.7. I dont think this is because of any plugin, because I have been seeing this error right from the initial install but only got around to it after fixing more major issues.
Thanks for the help.
Has anyone come across or implemented a good job board script or plugin that integrates well with BuddyPress?
I am running a startup community buddypress website and a job board would really help the community.
Of course! A huge thx to Andy as well! He’s any way like Santa! brings us all this lovely stuff which makes us happy 
Jep, added that correctly and the button/tap is shown.
function add_location_to_main_menu() {
$class = (bp_is_page(\'countries\')) ? \' class=\"selected\" \' : \'\';
echo \'<li \' . $class. \'><a href=\"\' . get_option(\'home\') . \'/countries\" title=\"\' . __( \'Countries\', \'buddypress\' ) .\'\">\' . __( \'Countries\', \'buddypress\' ) .\'</a></li>\';
}
add_action(\'bp_nav_items\',\'add_location_to_main_menu\');
My Problem in this case is that it doesn’t load the structure.css from the component when I open the component over this button. It works properly when get to the page over the sub navigation link.
(I’m using a customized home as well as a customized member theme. )
thx 4 ur help!

Thanks Jeff.
I did send him a message through this site but didn’t think to do it through his own.
