Great! I’m even more excited about this now. I’ve sent you an e-mail.
Yeah, openX is by far the best the best option – If you’re smart enough when setting it all up, you’ll be able to produce some fantastic results and generate invaluable learnings on user habits which you can then use in turn to make more cash.
If you run a number of sites, it really comes into it’s own – You’ll essentially have your own ad network with the ability to gather learnings from each of your sites – find out which ads generate the best CTR’s and as a result give you more money. It’s even better if you can get pixels placed on the confirmation pages for whoever you’re advertising as then you’ll be able to work back to an average eCPM.
Oh, and you can even track adsense clicks with it too. Highly recommended.
I like this idea very much…
I had the same question two months ago with an answer – sadly I didn’t quite get it. Maybe you do, and can explain it to me… 
See this thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=731
Thanks, Michael
I highly recommend openx, depending on the volume of your site, this will allow you to do amazing things. It is your own ad server, so you can control impressions, clicks, etc.

> Will it use a wikifarm installation where the main installation is in /wiki/ and when a new wiki is created it will create an independent wiki in /wiki/examplewiki/ using the wiki-engine in /wiki/ or will it simply create a new group in the main wiki /wiki/?
It will be for example (Link will not work) http://mybuddypress.de/wikis/examplewiki
The engine will be the same for all the wikis. You can even those the skin for your wiki. But one cool feature is, that you can inherid material from the main wiki. The idee is: We have lots of course-material in one wiki. But you want to rearrange it useing the existing stuff in a subwiki. It is even possible to have something like. http://mybuddypress.de/wiki/examplewiki/wiki-for-our-next-meeting.
But we don’t have a user interface for that at the moment.
> Will it use the user authorisation from the wpmu/bp-database or the built in system?
The authorisation will be from the wpmu/bp-database. If you are a user of Buddypress, you can create new wikis, invite friends etc. It is based on the group plugin and will work in a simular way.
> Will you need someone to test it? (I’m no programmer but i would love to help in anyway i can.)
If you send me an E-Mail i can give you the access-data. If you wan’t to help, documentation und support will be importend. In a few weeks, i would love to see a video on wordpress.tv showing the stuff.
> Will it be available for download?
Yes. If it works correct and documentations is done, you can download it. Everything should be GPL.

Sorry for my english.

Completely my fault, but I have corrupted a setting where my admin->buddypress-> member theme selection points to the themes/ directory and not member-themes/
I can go into phpmyadmin and edit wp_sitemeta ->active-member-theme to get the site to work, but the admin pannel member theme dropdown still points to the themes/ directory so I cant hit the submit button on that page without breaking it again.
I cleared my history but that did not seem to help
Any thoughts?
Thanks
@timschmi: That sounds really nice! I just have some questions and I would appreciate if you could answer them, if you have the time.

Andy, did you get the email I sent you yesterday?
I think I spotted the three “t”s mistake.
http://vivre-en-autarcie.com
wpmu 2.7
BP trunck version 1245
bbpress
Yes. You login with your FB/Google/OpenID,Yahoo/AOL/MySpace account details.
You get a BuddyPress user account on the main/first blog of the site and can create a new blog which you are admin of. To log into that blog, you log into the main site and then navigate via the admin bar to your own blog dashboard.
To make it 100% compatible, it needs better integration with the BP Home template and ideally, being MU site-wide rather than installed in /plugins/ so that users can log directly into their own blogs rather than into the main blog and then navigate to their own blog dashboard.
For a drop in solution, I’m very impressed with it. And you get stats through using the RPX API key.
I am getting the error “WordPress database error Query was empty for query made by require, require_once, do_action, call_user_func_array, bp_core_do_catch_uri, load_template, require_once, do_action, call_user_func_array, bp_core_directory_members_content, bp_core_get_userlink, bp_fetch_user_fullname, xprofile_set_field_data, BP_XProfile_ProfileData->save ?”
I’m using IE 7, it’s intermitten, I go to one of my pages in my site (sometimes even admin area) I get the error as stated above, I hit refresh and the page loads just fine(i’ve deleted cache, thinking it was something in there). In firefox it doesn’t load at all when I refresh, this only happens when I add the bp-xprofile folder and php file to my mu-plugins folder. When I take the bp-xprofile folder and php file out of my mu-plugins folder everything works fine no error, I have no problems with any of the other plugins.
My site: momchatter.com (right now I do not have the bp-xprofile folder and file in the mu-plugins folder)
Here is my environment:
Windows 2003 server std sp2
IIS 6
Mod_rewrite Pro
PHP v5.2.9
MySQL 5.067
Wordpress MU trunk (but I can not figure out exactly what version, but I believe it’s from 3/1/2009)
Buddypress SVN 1241
I am one of those that think she knows what she’s doing but doesn’t really know, just happens to figure things out by blind stumbling luck! (i’m probably forgetting something I read in the forums posted by andy but I can’t seem to find it again)
Thanks!

If you look in the groups-templatetags.php file under function bp_groups_header_tabs() you can see them defined there. The actions (where the links are going) are headed to the template index & loop files in member templates. The code that sorts out what the loop gets (has_groups(), the_group() etc) is at the top of the templatetags.php file under BP_Groups_Template.
There was an error in my email address on the first post: it is “automattic” with two “t”s at the end not three.

Hi I have been able to install buddypress and WPMU on an addon domain.
Everything is working fine. I am able to create blogs also from the admin panel, however am unable to access those. They redirect to my main domain.
the main domain is http://www.mbapursuit.com
the addon domain is http://bigmba.com
the test blog that I have created is http://test1.bigmba.com and http://test2.bigmba.com. These blogs redirect me to he homepage of mbapursuit.com.
My host allows running a wpmu on shared hosting and http://iitdreams.com is also hosted and working perfectly on a shared hosting on the same host.
Any solutions for accessing the blogs.
There is a add sidebars plugin at http://bp-dev.org/plugins
Install that and use text widgets on those sidebars to show ads.
Are you sure? I tried to migrate my old database to buddypress with MD5 passwords but couldn’t log in. Only with function new password I manage to log in.
Any developer willing to expand on Buddypress by taking on this project.
We are willing to hire you via chip-in account.
Any takers?
Hi,
I’m moving my site from PHP-Nuke to Buddypress wordpress platform. I saw that WP is using different kind of hash passwords (salted) then phpnuke which is on standard MD5 (plz correct me if I’m word).
Because I have over 10.000 registered users, I’m wondering if there is any chance to change all md5 passwords to WP? I don’t wish that when people come to my new site starts to wondering whats wrong with their passwords…
Does anyone have any idea how can I solve this problem?
Family website, default theme, installed a few hours ago. Not much to it yet but the potential has me starry eyed: http://jemisonfamily.net
Hi Andy, I would like to write a post about how I’m using BuddyPress.
http://twitterfic.com
The site is for Twitter role players. There are currently thousands of roleplayers on Twitter who pretend to be a fictional character. I am using BuddyPress to aggregate all these people.
Nice job oldskoo1. Slick and it’s a great idea. I know that kinda thing would have been very appreciated when I was younger with kids. Being a parent is just plain terrifying the first time. “What are we doing wrong?”, “Why is he still crying!”, worried to let him out in the front yard. Ya know, normal stuff that isn’t normal because you’ve never done it before.
Normal changes.
With the 2nd kid it wasn’t terrifying to let him play in the front yard near the street as much. We just learned to listen for the sound of screeching tires. Anything else wasn’t worth bothering with.

Hi,
I’ve just recently set up WPMU 2.6 and buddy press rc-1. When a new user is created, the associated blog works fine. When the user tries to create an additional blog under their account, the following message appears “The blog you have requested is not installed properly. Please contact the system administrator.”
I’ve taken out all the buddypress plugins and checked that as a normal user on WPMU I am able to sign up for additional blogs with the same user account and it all works fine.
After putting bp back on, I signed in as to Site Admin and can see that the failed blog was created but there’s a few fields missing when I check its properties – ie i noticed it’s associated with the right user but the user has no role defined (and the drop down box is empty).
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could look to resolve this?
Thanks
Rob
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1314 start there. Look at the code for bp-core-adminbar.php
Create a function that is your new top level item and submenus. Use add_action() to hook up the new function/menu item.
