@bmg1227, looks good. Anyone familiar with your previous work is probably expecting pretty fabulous things for BuddyPress from you in the future. 
A quick note of thanks to everyone for sharing your sites with everyone else.
I am closing this topic, as it has been addressed also in “RC-1 – admin-bar-menu acting weird?.”
oldskoo1! Howdy partner.
Ok. in bp we have the ability to search blogs, groups and members.
/mu-plugins/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-classes.php search_blogs()
/mu-plugins/bp-groups/bp-groups-classes.php search_groups()
/mu-plugins/bp-friends/bp-friends-classes.php search_users()
In all cases you’ll probably have to uppercase or lowercase the search term $filter and the field(s) in the sql statement itself.
strtolower($filter) then something like:
WHERE LOWER(value) LIKE $filter
I don’t think I’ve ever used the bp search stuff. Thanks for finding this.
I created a ticket on this: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/570
Search should be case insensitive.
I’ve just started with BuddyPress at:
http://wordpress-blog.nl/
It’s all in the Dutch language
I want a closed network with bp where everything is blocked from public view. I have the privacy plugin from wpmudev premium where it automatically sets the privacy settings for all the blogs. In my site only logged in users can view the blogs. When this is activated, the BuddyPress blog listing page and the search functions do not show any blogs. As soon as I make the blogs public, they show up on the search pages as well as the Recent Posts widget for BP.
My question is this: Can I hack the code that checks the blog privacy setting and turn it off so that even if the blog is private, it will still show up in the blog listing page as well as in the search functions.
OK, I am starting to realize my next wrong turn. This is my first dive into BBpress and when the topic of this post said “assuming you have wpmu and bbpress all set up” – I thought I did, but I didn’t.
BBPress Newbs FYI:
There is a whole cookie/hash integration that has to happen that I have not looked at yet. Here are 2 great resources on the topic

I hate doing this on my first post. I tried searching around, maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
I’m setting up a site at ajmember.com using wordpress mu 2.7. We want to use buddypress for a social area, but want to use our existing home page. Do I install buddypress in a subdirectory or can the buddypress home page just be another page in the root?
Any advice?
Thanks!

Well I’ll be… I think tiny url’s are fine, and probably for the best really…
You know, to Andy’s credit, it’s really kind of fun to find little bits of creative genius in BuddyPress… Stuff like this, and the Groups Template idea, and just little prethoughts of the future, they’re just really cool…
No sweat. I ask because lets say I make a “Signature” field, it’s a textarea, and it’s going to be used for their forum signature.
If their signature is "<a href="bob" style='color: red;'>Bob</a>, is amazing!" is BuddyPress going to parse the crap out of it, and is this going to understand that?
if (the group is XBOX) add_action(‘wp_print_styles’, ‘your style hook’)
i made a good set of functions in bpdev theme to add stylesheet with condition, look here:
http://trac.bp-dev.org/plugins/browser/trunk/bpdev-theme/bpdev-theme-extra.php
look line 9:
function bpdev_theme_register_style( $slug, $name, $callback, $default = 'off', $admin_show = 'on', $condition = true, $priority = 1 ) {
it means that with this function you will be able to add styles in wordpress/buddypress integrating them in the bpdev admin interface to activate or deactivate them,
in your example you need a plugin like that called for example my-styles-bpdev.php
<?php
/*
Author: Nicola Greco
Author URI: http://nicolagreco.com
*/
require_once( 'bp-core.php' );
require_once( 'bpdev-core.php' );
function bpdev_search_css() {
global $group_obj;
bpdev_theme_register_style(
'my-styles', // your style slug name
'XBOX Styles', // your style name
'xbox_styles_function', // callback
'on', // status "on" on default
'off', // off will not display it in admin interface
$group_obj->id = 1; // the group ID
);
}
function xbox_styles_function() { // example of css content
?>
#header {
background: #FFF;
}
<?php
}
add_action( 'bpdev_theme_extra_setup_globals', 'bpdev_search_css' ); // it will add the style
?>
How I can add buddypress tag? Where on readme file
You should use the .htaccess.dist file that comes with BuddyPress if BuddyPress does not create or cannot edit the existing one that’s there.
What you have above will not be enough for all of BuddyPress/WPMU to function correctly.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase BASE/
#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>
It has additional lines for handling multiple upload directories, blogs, etc…
You will have to have a separate theme for your subdomain, and hard-code the links to go back to your root domain.
The way I did this, was to have a “buddypress-home” theme, and a “buddypress-sub” theme. The sub theme is basically a copy of all of the files from the “buddypress-home” theme, but without home.php, an edited style.css to change the name of the style, and a modified header.php which I will explain below.
The home theme is activated only for the root blog, the sub theme for all others.
In the header.php file for the sub blogs, I used $bp->root_domain as the destination for each link, plus whatever slug was appropriate (MEMBERS_SLUG, BP_GROUPS_SLUG, BP_BLOGS_SLUG).
I also went ahead and made the BP_BLOGS_SLOG link class="selected" right away, that way when you’re in a sub blog, the appropriate tab is always shown as selected.
Burt have you tested this with each specific type of field in the xprofile area? With quotes and what not?
I’m going to make a clean install of BuddyPress on my test domain and see if I can duplicate this. I’d really like to know what I did that’s breaking it.
Hello guys I have a main domain that uses buddypress as its theme howeever. I create subdomain. like members2.dstars.com however I find the subdomain header user the subdomain if I press the home link and I want it to go to main domain which is dstars.com. So my question is there a way for me to make the header.php file match the header.php of the subdomain?
Glad you like the idea, too.
I’m keen on being able to break down feeds for each specific activity within a group rather than just one group feed, so have suggested this: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/567
Is there a better avatar crop function / plugin available?
Buddypress uses a crop function in 2 steps but why not only use a single one?
I’m getting complains about this and want to solve this problem for my users.
same problem, yes WPMU works fine without BuddyPress installed!!!
Hi, Folks!!!
I did a test installation of BuddyPress on my localhost and I can access only to main page as http://testbp.org/ (in my comp is http://inkara.com/bp) but I can’t work with other pages related with “MyAccountâ€.
for sample:
when http://inkara.com/bp/members/admin/activity
I get error message
Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error.

WHAT’s wrong with my BP?!
On a fresh install what is the best/fastest way to mass install all buddypress plugins for the non-techie people?
Mike
That would be nice. It could include members activity, forum activity, wire activity. Ya, nice idea. Why don’t you post it in trac as an enhancement ticket?

Login with the same credentials as here.
Not at the moment. It’s in the works though. See: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1304
