Mark this topic as closed please!
Actually, yes! I created a small little plugin to force member login to see member profiles. I was going to put it on groups as well, but my members wanted groups that are public to be just that, public. There is already an option to make a group private anyways.

Der… This might not pertain to you anyhow, as I forgot that it also involves the forum last poster bbPress plugin.
Diving deeper…
Looks like this is only happening on the Groups forums Burt. The hidden forum appears to get the correct last poster info no problem.
Still diving…
Yep, Nevermind! Not your problem!
I just registered and uploaded an avatar just fine.
I do get this error when trying to view my own profile though…

Hey Burt… Something strange is happening… Could be I broke something, but I noticed it after I upgraded to .41 of your community blogs plug-in. It probably existed before hand, but I just noticed it now so it’s something to stay cognoscente of.
When looking at the front page of my forums, there are two (three for me) forum sections, public, group, and hidden. The most recent posts in my groups forums area link to the most recent posts in the public forums in the same position. Basically in the same order, but in the wrong forum. I think you’ll have to look at it to see what I mean.
Looks like maybe the $topics needs a separate loop or needs to be cleared? I haven’t dived into it yet, but I plan to shortly.
just read about Your Member – I don’t think it will work for our needs. Authorize.net AIM payment integration is essential and it seems Your Member is PayPal only.
Thanks for the reply – I’d love to hear more. Are you selling the plugin? Is “Your Member” comparable to “amember”? I’ve already purchased the pro version of amember – so it would need to be pretty inciting to switch at this point, but I’m certainly open to it.
Martin, how’s the Swedish Translation coming along for you? I’m personally at 29% (Just started today)..
Just to add to the historical record: I installed BuddyPress on a working WPMU install and got a blank screen of death. It turned out that the problem had to do with the 16M limit in the php.ini file. Upping that limit solved the problem.
Solved this problem with help from a friend, who did some PHP error reporting. It turns out that my PHP install has a 16M limit. Upping that limit on php.ini has given me a working version of BuddyPress. All right!!!
So, we are finally resolved.
You can always request it to Incsub as well (WPMU Experts) that are also designing plugins now for Buddypress if people request them!

i wrote a plugin to integrate Your Member in buddypress
Usually/ sometimes/ possibly IE problems are caused by uncleared floats.
try adding something like:
<br clear=”all” />
We are trying to integrate ecommerce and membership management (newsletter, stats, etc) capabilities into Buddy Press.
We are setting up a campaign website on the MU platform to use the strength of WP’s CMS for the blog, new, media parts of the site – and then utilize MU and BuddyPress to allow campaigners / supports a place to communicate and interact. (similar to Barak’s “my.BarakObama.com”)
We want to allow supports to donate to the campaign and track there donations on their member pages. I’m looking into a 3rd Party Member management platform called “amember” (www.amember.com) as it has a wordpress integration plugin and offers the ability to sell “subscription” products. It is only tested with the standard version of WP – not MU, so I’m running into some database issues where the wp_1_ prefix is throwing me for a loop. (I’m not the best PHP programmer)
Any thoughts on using these two platforms together? Is there a better solution?

hi,
i like the possibility to show your friends in the profile sidebar:
sidebar plugin: http://buddypressdev.org/plugins/bpdev-profile-sidebar/
example: http://buddypressdev.org/members/admin/
i’am trying to make a widget to realise it. but i have some problems with it. it works but i am not able to figure out a way to have a extra size for the thumbnails at the side bar. or let’s say i am not able to figure out a way without changing the core files. if possible i want to avoid that. maybe someone here can help me.
first here is what i did:
widget v1 code: http://pastie.org/398710
example: http://kommune.ngcorp.de/members/admin/
you see, it works but only with one of the standard sizes. i took “avatoar_mini” same as the picture in the header at “user/logout”.
like i said i figured out a way to customize the size of the picture. for this made some slightly changes.
widget v2 code: http://pastie.org/398735
in addition i had to make some changes in the bp-core-classes.php:
i inserted on line 16: var $avatar_thumb_sb;
and on line 68: $this->avatar_thumb_sb = bp_core_get_avatar( $this->id, 1, 30, 30, false );
now i have my size. no example for that, but it works.
my question would be: is there a way to customize the size of the sidebar thumbnail without changing core files?
thanks, nicolai
p.s.: sorry for the bad english.
I noticed that the very last part of the code block $current_site->domain is only redirect user to yoursite.domain/buddypress/user/yoursite.domain/
I think I need to add $current_site->domain.’something here’ But what should I insert in .’something here’? I want to insert like member’s profile page, so how do I do that?
For now I revert that very code back to an older version code which used http://pastie.org/398599 .
After upgrade to RC1, and try to sign up as a test user, the signup process went well, and then test user got the username and password to show up at the confirmation link when you clicked on the confirmation email’s link. Here is when thing went wrong. When a test user clicked on the login link on the confirmation link that showed the user’s password and username, after login, the user got redirect to a page that had url like this yourwebsite.domain/buddypress/yourwebsitename.domain/. Shouldn’t user get redirect to yourwebsite.domain/wp-admin/? Because the page it’s redirecting to only show an empty default blog page with no content or what-so-ever.
I looked into bp-core-activation.php and saw this http://pastie.org/398570 . Should the code be like $current_site->wp-admin/?
There are a couple of solutions.
One is to just use the bp group forums as is. mikepratt has a nice example of this at http://buglenotes.com.
johnjamesjacoby has the bbGroups plugin working over at http://delsolownersclub.com/discussions
fishbowl81 has taken a different approach with http://gorgeousgamers.com/beta/forums/ with the discussion starting about this in https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1321
Hi!
My BuddyPress uses a subdomain. This might well be where the error lies but thought I should ask before giving up all hope. However I can’t see this as a problem since the installation allows it to be installed in a subdomain.
My users can create a profile/account. That is fine.
I have made a few accounts to test and all have worked perfectly fine up untill creating a blog. However my main admin account made a blog without any issues.
I think the error may be that when it creates a blog the address is http://BLOGTITLE.sub.domain.com
Is anyone able to assist?
Being a fan of wpmudev and buddypress this is a great news that you guys are now getting into the game.
For the plugins I was thinking about the photo/media gallery.
I know it’s on the bp road map but maybe if you guys could make the built-in wp media library and bp talk together that would be really great.
The extension of the “Upgrades” plugin as miguael mentioned or even the “Supporter” plugin could also be a good idea.
Burt, I think I’m picking up what you’re putting down, and I plan on integrating much of what you’re mentioning. Trying to bring MU and bbPress underneath the BuddyPress umbrella a little more really, to open up some of the core abilities and release them to the integrated apps.
I wish I understood the ixr more, because I think the purpose of it is to not have to deeply integrate the components, but rather build bridge plugins to turn on only the functions we would need, much like you did with the bbGroups.
hempsworth, to be honest, this sounds more like a forum functionality than a blog to me. WordPress has never really had this type of straight forward user based permissions functionality, and while I can say that I think it sure could use it, I will also admit publically that I’m probably not the guy for the job. I think ideas like this should be added as feature requests to the trac, because they’re outside of the current 1.0 scope of BuddyPress, and would also involve some changes to WordPressMU.
Burt, I will take a gander. Also, you think possible to add an option to make the members of the group all editors? Could sort of have a blog/wiki that way. 
The sort of functionality I was looking for was the following:
An admin of a group can go to the group settings page and select ‘Create Group Blog’, which would take them to a blog creation page.
They could set the name of the blog, they could set the privacy level (to appear in Google searches or not), and they could choose from the members of that group who would be set as contributor, editor or admin of the new blog, probably through radio buttons next to each group member.
Then, they could click ‘Create’, and the blog would be registered with the group members added and their relevant roles set.
An item in the groups sidebar, under ‘Forum, Wire’ etc, could be ‘Blog’, and would go to the designated blog for that group. We could even output their posts *within* the BuddyPress theme, either pulling from the RSS feed or directly from the DB, and have a ‘Visit the blog here’ link above the most recent posts.
Is this at all possible? I think it’s a much more user-friendly way for groups to set up team blogs.
