Hi guys!
The project I’m working on is considering using BuddyPress for some social networking for an event that’s being run sometime later this year. I know BuddyPress can include a BBPress installation for an integrated forum system, and people can create blogs within BP as well. If there are other blogs/sites created within the WPMU installation (but not BuddyPress) and other BBPress installations as well, is it recommended that everything reside in the same database, or should things like the additional BBPress installations use a separate database?
I don’t want to completely kill whatever server this could potentially end up running on, but quick response times and user integration between all platforms is key. The higher-ups estimate that there would be about 1,000 or so users for the duration of the event, if that gives any insight as to the scale of what’s being considered.
Would a dedicated WPMU installation be a better idea, in conjunction with a second WPMU installation for integration with everything else?
Thanks for any input you can offer!

Hi
I am using WPMU v2.7.1, BuddyPress v1.0 and BBPress v0.9.0.4.
Everything works fine except that when I attempt to login to BBPress as admin I get redirected back to the main BBPress page. I set up all the integration stuff a long time ago, edited the bb-config file and added the “required” code, set up my key, etc and I had this issue solved awhile back but then when I went from BP RC2 to v1.0, somehow I lost the ability to login into BBPress’s admin.
I’ve searched until I was blue in the face and am at my wit’s end. The last time this happened, I was able to fix it easily but I can’t remember HOW I fixed it now. Can anyone give me some advice please?.
Thanks so much!.
How about extending the fb-connect using Facebook open stream?

Has anyone else seen this problem?
\”it would be similar to the service offerd by wordpress.com\”
But WordPressMU does this by default when a user gets their own blog.
Getting each one to have their own *separate* BP is the issue.
Why not just stick with the one install, have each troop make their own ground and their own blog? This way they have theor own sace, but can still interact with the entire site at large.
Also, remember that like WPMU, BuddyPress functionality can be extended with plugins. There are a number of developers working tirelessly at doing just that.
With regards to the Groups feature, Nicola Greco has created a plugin that helps to extend BP Groups.
haha…stupid me…works now…thanks!
I should change this, right now this is not in the groups functionality, but it will be in upcoming versions.
Connect URL should be the URL of the website, so for http://testbp.org it is simply that.
@Djpetemarriott-
As has been mentioned, there is more to installing WPMU than single-user WP.
Since this is not a BuddyPress support topic but an issue you need to bring up with your hosting provider, I’m setting this thread to resolved.
Hi Andy,
Thanks for updating the fb-plugin. Just installed it a couple of minutes ago and this message appeared in the fb popup window:
Invalid Argument
The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL (http://huwai.com.tw/wp-content/plugins/bp-fbconnect/includes/wp-facebookconnect/xd_receiver.php#fname=_opener&%7B%22t%22%3A3%2C%22h%22%3A%22fbCancelLogin%22%2C%22sid%22%3A%220.337%22%7D) must have the application\’s Connect URL (http://login.connect.facebook.com/) as a prefix. You can configure the Connect URL in the Application Settings Editor.
I entered http://login.connect.facebook.com/ into the Connect URL field in the fb interface but this message still appears.
Do I need to translate WPMU first ?
Look in the link that DJPaul provided. There is a WordPress translation of Arabic already. I’m not sure what additional work you’d have to do for WPMU. Most likely translation of some of the admin pages. But, I’m not a localization expert.
What will be different because Arabic is RTL language ?
As long as the themes that Arabic users are using properly reference some type of right to left CSS file, then this should not be an issue. Look at rtl.css to see how that works.
Also, look at this relevant BuddyPress thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=245
I came into this WordPress stuff late but I can honestly say I am utterly astounded by the flexibility and capabilities of the software….and BuddyPress….one of the best apps I have seen in long time.

Hello,
I want to translate BuddyPress to Arabic but I have Some questions :
1- Do I need to translate WPMU first ?
2- What files should I translate ?
3- What will be different because Arabic is RTL language ?
Thanks,
@freaking wildchild, so is it possible to use a form to do this, ie when people sign up it makes a new sub-directory with buddypress and wordpress installed, and it uses the username to make the sub link, are you able to point me in the direction to do a form like this, dont have a clue where to start, thanks
Hi,
I’m experiencing problem accessing Buddypress related pages which requires login.
Example (when not log in to any account), accessing
“http://mydomain.com/members/username/friends/requests/”
will redirect me to
“http://mydomain.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://mydomain.com/members/username/friends/requests/”
which brings me to “Sorry, that page was not found The page you were looking for was not found.” page.
However, accessing wpmu related page like
“http://blogname.mydomain.com/wp-admin”
redirects me to
“http://blogname.mydomain.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fblogname.mydomain.com%2Fwp-admin%2F”
resulting the login page which I can login and redirected to the wp-admin page correctly.
This is a new install of the latest version of WPMU and Buddypress with no other plugins.
I couldn’t find any similar topics on this forum and google. Seems like I’m the only one having this problem. 
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
More specifically, I am not using any custom home theme, its the one I got from buddypress .org itself.
Thanks,
I registered through buddypress so was not sure if it was an issue with its integration with WPMU. I guess Ill just wait for a few days for the emails to be available.

I guess its the header.php file in the bpmember theme that has to be edited and not the header.php in the home theme? Or should the change be added to both header.php files?
They almost look the same so whats the difference between the two?
Also how would the code look, there’s a section where it says:
Bpmember theme’s header.php:
<div id="header">
<h1 id="logo"><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php bp_site_name() ?></a></h1>
<ul id="nav">
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( 'home' ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php bp_home_blog_url() ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
<?php if ( function_exists( 'groups_install' ) ) { ?>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_GROUPS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ( function_exists( 'bp_blogs_install' ) ) { ?>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_BLOGS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_BLOGS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Blogs', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Blogs', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>
<?php do_action( 'bp_nav_items' ); ?>
</ul>
</div>
Its probably here the extra code would have to be added? I cant seem to get it to work.
This question is about wpmu and not buddypress. anyway, those nonactivated users are deleted after 3 days (as far as I remember). There’re also plugins to enable the same email address registrations.
