If I add fields to the wp_users table in the database, how can I add those fields to the registration form?
I know Buddypress has a way to add profile fields, but they get stored in weird places. I want one table with all the basic members data -> full name, company, city, URL, etc.
– It is possible, in the profile, to show the posts list and favorite topics that the user added of the blog and forum
Everything except the above is a standard part of bp.
I guess I need the exact opposite. I only want full real names in the site, if possible entered as seperate first name + last name at sign-up.
I just reinstallend WordPress MU+Buddypress and now when I sign up test users, only the user_login gets copied to the display_name field in wp_users.
How can I force it to put the real full name in display_name?
From my perspective, this thread continues the topics brought up here nicely:

@Wildrot
and @apeatling of https://apeatling.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/blog.jpg
is there a downloadable way to do what you guys have done and make it the default for user blogs (no user set up required, just automatic)?
Can you guys make your user templates available to the BuddyPress community?
Best,
Dainis
Or make bp-custom.php into your /plugins/buddypress/ folder, and put the following code in. This way saves you messing with the default themes and also having to re-do work if you change themes in future.
<?php
define('BP_BLOGS_SLUG', 'Diary');
?>
Nicola I think the correct approach would be to implement this into the Buddypress core code and submit patches for Andy’s review.
The ArtistPlug.NET social blogging network has got it’s first big change which is visible at http://blog.gowildchild.com and http://artistblog.me ; it’s also allowing 5 artistic users to it’s network till the beta period.
http://visualsound.be has a buddypress compatible plug-in which allows soundcloud to implemented (also written for the network).
Be sure to checkout this network for the common artist around the block!
If someone know something about might help the community 
In youre: “header.php”
<?php if ( function_exists( ‘bp_blogs_install’ ) ) { ?>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_BLOGS_SLUG ) ) {?> class=”selected”<?php } ?>>/<?php echo BP_BLOGS_SLUG ?>” title=”<?php _e( ‘Blogs’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>”><?php _e( ‘Blogs’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>
<?php } ?>
Changes the phrase: “Blogs” into: “what ever you want” …
My version of BuddyPress (RC1) is having an issue displaying group avatars. The image shows up in the group but not on the home, only the alt text shows up. I went to the directory to delete the images and try again but the images are not found in the path specified by the avatar graphic that does show up properly.
Any help on this would be appreciated. Here is a link to a page experiencing the problem.

Ok Burtadsit, thanks for your information.
And you know if the BP to WP will have features that I mentioned in the first topic?
adv_user, sometime in the next several months. There isn’t any specific *public* timeline for releasing a version of bp that works on regular wp. Only automattic knows.
And there is a plugin for wordpress to makes these activities do I need?
Because I need to do that “community integrated” with some urgency, and don’t I know if you have estimates of when the BP will be distributed to the WP?
@Famous-
Once you’ve updated to the latest BP trunk following the instructions in Burt’s link, BuddyPress components live in /plugins/. You can keep all your other non-BP WPMU plugins in /mu-plugins/.
Tip: Make sure you read the entire thread Burt linked to at least twice before starting your upgrade. For detailed instructions on upgrading WPMU, visit the WPMU site.
(quick thanks to everyone here smarter than me and that have helped out)

All fields were filled in. I reinstalled both Buddypress to the newest trunk and the events plugin v 0.55. The saving error remains. I cannot create events.
Could this be a permission issue? bp-events-directory and bp-events.php are set to 755. Are there other adjustments I need to make?
If you ask me, it makes ‘things’ just more complex and harder to get working 
You have an existing wp install and want to connect another install, buddypress, to that? I don’t think that is possible. You could install wpmu and bp. Import your existing wp blog into wpmu and then install bp on a different blog. That you can do.
Your current blog would be imported as blog id 1 and bp could be installed on another blog you create. That would work.
Or how do I get bp to do this: http://www.colourlovers.com/
This is a killer community site. Everything is so integrated and beautiful. It’s got all the elements. A specific orientation that almost demands that members contribute. It\’s also got one major advantage. It focuses on *content*. The social aspects of the site enhance sharing and creating content.
I have almost zero interest in repeating color patterns but find myself visiting and browsing around anyway. The architecture and design of the site just feels ‘right’. It works.
What’s your vote for best community/social site on the net? No points for Facebook and such.
You see. What I want to do tho is keep my wordpress blog intact. With that theme that it has right now and what not. And to have, as another “website” yet integrated with my wordpress blog, my socialnetwork section. So with the buddypress thing, I can have my other kind of theme, yet if people use their accounts from buddypress to comment on my original wordpress blog, it will still be connected..they will still be able to see it on their activity.
Those are the member, groups and blog directories. They live in respectively:
RC1
/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-core/directories/bp-core-directory-members.php
/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-groups/directories/bp-groups-directory-groups.php
/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-blogs/directories/bp-blogs-directory-blogs.php
trunk
/wp-content/bp-themes/buddypress-member/directories
There is a job board in the dev section. Nothing but a wire now. https://buddypress.org/groups/buddypress-job-board
Emails go out to all those who are members of that group. You could also post a topic here since the job board doesn’t have a forum yet. Post it here and one of the mods will close it after posting. People can contact you through your profile in a PM.
