Okay, so here’s a question…
Do you think it’s possible to use this plugin, to have both subdomains and subdirectories with WPMU and BuddyPress?
Lets say I use this plugin to map a blog to red.mydomain.com… Can I then map other blogs to that same subdomain, but have them utilize the built in subdirectory install method of WPMU?
So I could have…
red.mydomain.com/bob/
red.mydomain.com/fred/
red.mydomain.com/murphy/
But also have…
blue.mydomain.com/bob/
blue.mydomain.com/fred/
blue.mydomain.com/murphy/
And have them be totally different blogs with totally different content, underneath the same MU install?
I would create a subdomain in my hosting package to accommodate for it of course, but since MU would be setup to have sub directories, and I can map each blog specifically, unless I’m going crosseyed, I see this as doable.
looks awesome… hope it works in buddypress!
I’ll let you know how it works!
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!
I am curious if anyone is working on a multi-db plugin for wordpressmu that utilizes buddypress.
It turns out the multi-db plugin from premium dev site does not support buddypress. From what I have been told on their forums, they are not even going to attempt to get it working until 2.8 mu is released. Of course that could be forever…..
I’m guessing there would be fairly large demand for a plugin like this as I can’t see how very large sites like edublogs could even consider adding buddypress in a single database environment.
Looking good Nicola.
I love your plugins and the support you provide, it’s very much appreciated.
btw
Maybe an error with the forum software here?
This post said it has 3 replies prior to me entering this one, however there are none.
First of all, BuddyPress is so promising. Keep up the good work!
Currently, I’m involved in implementing BP for a local NGO, and I’m happy to share the translation files.
I’ve done translating the “Bahasa Indonesia” for the RC-1 version and posted on the codex page:
https://codex.buddypress.org/translations/indonesia-indonesian-id_id/
Feel free to comment and correct any error.
I guess this is sort of a wordpress mu question but it also has to do with buddypress.
How can I set up a custom domain for one of my blogs (just like on wordpress.com)
for example. how could i change blog1.networkdomain.com to blog1.com.
After doing this i still need all the buddypress features to work: posts to show up in users recent posts tab of profile and comments to show up in users recent comments tab of profile and for posts to show up on the homepage. and for the blog to show up in the directory.
Thanks ahead of time! This is import for our blog network…

Hi people. The combo download for RC-1 from buddypress.org is fine in both the zip and tar.gz versions. Everything is where it should be. Just checked.
When does this happen? Clean install, activate the home theme visit the root blog and then you get this error? Or does this only occur when you are in the member theme area such as your profile and then try to visit the home theme? For example you click ‘blog’ or ‘members’ buttons.
I think that something is trashing a WP constant called TEMPLATEPATH that is created in wp-settings.php >> define(‘TEMPLATEPATH’, get_template_directory());
It’s either not getting set correctly or it’s getting fubar’ed later, somehow.
Have you tried activating a different theme for the root blog? Do you get the same error? Try just activating *anything* else other than the bp home theme and then do what you did to reproduce the problem.
Trying to narrow things down. Lemme know.
p.s. I flipped the red light switch on this thread so that others may join in the fun too.
https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.7
Zip at the bottom of the page or if you use SVN you can use that URL as well.

And where is that downloaded?
So help out on this one buddy press seem like a good fit since I took over a project in druphell that is hack job to say the least.
My Question
Can I customize the a search field for buddy press to search by location and time frame.
country
date – date
And pull results fitting the 2 main criteria and additional fields from a user for search results?
Can buddypress handle this?
No, it can be tested by downloading the WPMU Branch of 2.7. It is not in trunk.
Trent
Is that patch in the latest version of MU?
Awesome – thanks so much – that’s *exactly* what I was hoping to hear 
(Yay – now I get to finally play with it!)
You could look into modifying an existing WordPress plugin, I think called “a member” that will help you with your pay for subscription situation.
BuddyPress certainly could have “private” blogs, you would just need to restrict user access to each others blogs by checking the available author ID’s against the current blog ID, and if they aren’t an author, bounce them back somewhere.
Sounds like BuddyPress will be a very good starting point for you, you will just need to mold it to fit your needs.
Hello all! I’m so excited. I’ve known about BuddyPress for a while now, but have never had the opportunity to use it for anything. I’ve used MU – but only a little bit – I’m mostly just a standard WP fiend.
However, I have a potential client who has contacted me with a concept that I think BuddyPress *might* be a perfect fit for. But since I’ve never actually had the chance to use it, I’m not sure. So I was hoping some of you might be able to give me a little insight to see if this is a good choice to run with (I’m so hoping it is – I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now!)
Basically, it’s a Member-managed site. BuddyPress seems to fit in perfectly with what this woman wants to do – enabled private messaging (which she will need) and have individual private areas. She’s wanting to use the WordPress site as a more effective way for her to communicate with her clients on a case-by-case basis.
She would like to have the ability for her clients to “pay for a subscription” online through the site, and when they do, they will get a “blog” for their use, and the private messaging center and all that.
The question comes in here: 1) the “blogs” need to be kept private. Only the client who writes the log for that day, and the lady who’s running the site, should be able to see these posts. The “blog” will not even really be a regular blog – it’s a tracking system for her clients. They put in some particular information, and she goes in and evaluates the info – then she sends them files that are her recommendations. These activities are not meant to be made public for *all* members to see – just her and that individual. and 2) *can* you “monetize” BuddyPress in this way? I was thinking it might be easier if she just has the client fill out a form, pay through PayPal and when she gets notification, she sets them up with their own “blog” manually. Is this possible? Or are there better ways around it? (like some kind of plugin that will notify the end user that their subscription is about to expire, and if they don’t renew, then they are locked out?)
I’d appreciate any insight into this. I’m not looking to have anyone do the work *for* me – I’m just curious if BuddyPress would be a good match for this type of system, or if I should go another route.
Thanks!
Any more ideas?
I’m planning on applying the above patch, cleanly installing the trunk tonight to make sure there’s no older files lingering on the server, and am also going to analyze the database to see whether it’s a problem with the events being recorded to the DB or whether it’s with the output.
Hopefully it’s as simple as that but I’m afraid it’s likely more serious.
See new thread https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1488 for the twitter plugin. Test, test, test please!
Up on my website http://www.erwingerrits.com/?page_id=799 I uploaded a simple Twitter plugin, as discussed on thread http://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1333
It adds a “Twitter” option to the user’s profile page admin menu, and with it, a user can enter their twitter account & password.
Once set, other components and plugins can simply call the function tweet($status) and a tweet will be posted to the user’s twitter account.
Please, test away… my twitter followers are tired of receiving numerous test posts…

burtadsit, there´s no confusion on the proper location of themes. You can try to install the last release of buddypress and wp mu 2.7 and you´ll see the error.
Thanks to jfcarter for giving one solution.

I think there must be some confusion as to the proper location of themes. See:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/using-the-buddypress-themes/ for an overview.
You shouldn’t have to rename directories if everything is in the right spots.

keep an eye on it over the next month or so 
You could make a xprofile field that says “Outside Blogs” and they could list them there for now. They wouldn’t link to them yet however, and there’s an enhancement in the trac to allow for different formats of fields that will allow this later.
I suspect however that your goal is to have these blogs show in the “Blogs” area of BuddyPress. I think that’s a novel idea, and I don’t think it would be too difficult to do really, but it means that the blog area needs to be explored more, versus it only being a front end layer for all of WPMU’s blogs.
I think that they best they could be however would be links to outside blogs, and that keeping it within the content of your site would be difficult. (It would require an iFrame most likely, which I suspect most of us try to avoid.)
First thing that I had to do was delete all cookies and login to BuddyPress fresh.
Things to double check:
1.) You’ve correctly added the keys in both config files.
2.) You’ve installed and correctly configured both necessary plugins, one on each side.
3.) Check the names of your cookies in Firefox and make sure the wordpress_ cookies all have the same string of text behind them. If not, your keys in your config files are wrong.
4.) You’ve modified both config files with all the little extra things they need done to them.
