BuddyPress.org

When the new website launches (very soon) one of the new features will be that anyone from the community can submit blog posts to the main BuddyPress blog.

It would be nice to have a few posts lined up for launch, so I’m wondering if a few people would be willing to write a post?

The post can be on anything related to BuddyPress – technical or non-technical – it would be nice to have a balance.

Some topics might include:

– How you use BuddyPress in situations such as Education, on Intranets, within clubs etc.

– Tips and tricks around building plugins and themes.

– Your experiences using BuddyPress.

– General thoughts and other topics around BuddyPress that you think would benefit others.

The posts can be long or short, there is no preference. Try to keep it succinct though please.

Once the site launches, you will be able to write posts within the WP write post interface, but for now, feel free to email me posts at: andypeatling {/at] automattic dot com

Cheers

I gave up bbpress and will use Buddypress forum instead though it may not be robust enough. When trying to add a new topic, i encountered an error and it seems somethng is missing(or something wrong with it somehow) Not sure if Buddypress forum requires an integration with bbpress or it can work independently. How can i get this fixed? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, this question it is (maybe) not buddypress related, but really i hope someone could help me becouse it’s really really important.

Yesterday i updated my website ( http://wikiroma.it )with MU 2.7 and the latest trunk of BuddyPress, in order to try the Facebook Connect. But since the upgrade i have a big problem:

my website’s homepage is the home.php in the root, and then i have link to index.php ( http://wikiroma.it/index.php )to go to the community area (buddypress).

Since yesterday, that index.php redirects to the home.php and i’ve no way to enter the buddypress homepage. I don’t know if this is a MU issue or a BuddyPress issue: i’m using the same theme of before, the only thing new is the facebook plugin.

Maybe the new buddypress requires that i upgrade the home-theme too with the newest trunk?

I’ve not modified the ht.access that is:

Hi

I’m trying to do a support forum plugin. The idea is a menu with two functions:forum and contact form. I’m using bp-forums and trying to copy the logic of bp-groups but doesn’t work because bp-group is much more that i need. Where i can start to develop my own plugin to use bp-forum?

Thanks
