Ok i found a few sites that made a bit more sense and i pieced all the bits together.
I downloaded the POT file fomr the bp SVN.
Downloaded a program called POEDIT
Created a new catalog from the PO file
Made my translations
Save the file which created an MO file
Eventually figured out i needed to upload my MO file to the bp-languages DIR in the mu-plugins DIR of WP
Then i opened up bp-core.php and found the line
(`)
if ( file_exists( ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . get_locale(). ‘.mo’ ) )
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . get_locale() . ‘.mo’ );
(`)
I couldn’t find out anything on get_locale() function that mean’t anything to me so i just removed get_locale() and replaced it with my .mo filename.
I am looking to see if anyone can help me to installed WordPress MU + Buddypress + BBpress for me.
I pay for the fee.
Thanks
Thanks Trent. I’m all updated to the Bleeding edge on everything.
My BuddyPress is working just fine so far.
Thanks for the response. I love the extended WP community. Nice to have brilliant friends everywhere.
Stay Human
Hi,
I was hoping to get some help on creating a translations file.
I posted a while ago asking if i could change the word blog to diary and post to entry.
Others have asked if they can change wire to something else or groups to contacts.
All the sensible suggestions have been to create a custom translations file. This is a great idea because editing all the separate files will be EXTREMELY hard to manage for upgrades.
I’ve tried to create a translations file but i’m finding it quite hard to understand. I tried to follow what it said on the WP site but the file didn’t make sense to me.
If someone can help show me how to create a translations file in windows i would be very grateful.
I have the BP POT file : http://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/bp-languages/buddypress.pot
But please could someone explain what i should do next and which windows program will turn it into and MO file and where i should define my language within BP?
Cheers,
Nicola, I hope you can accept some constructive criticism.
You have made tremendous contributions to BuddyPress. However, I think it’s ironic that you ask people what they want as the next plug-in, then you reject suggestions that don’t match your open-source philosophy. In this thread, more than one person asked for Facebook Connect, and other people asked for other Facebook-style features. I didn’t count all the requests, but I would say that Facebook functionality or integration is the thing that was requested most.
But you have an objection to Facebook because it’s a commercial operation and you prefer open-source. However, many of us need our sites to be commercially successful, so FB integration can be very helpful to us whether we like it or now.
So please don’t ask for requests and then reject the most popular request because you don’t like it.
@12thharmonic that would work *if and only if* that install is running WPMU 2.7 and bbPress 1.0 alpha 4+ since the forum integration in buddypress needs bbPress 1.0 alpha series and that can only be integrated with WPMU 2.7 (unreleased). Don’t know of anyone that got this working with WPMU 2.6.5, but if they did, I would be interested in finding out.

I’ve been working on https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/290
No luck so far. I thought I found the offending location, but I’m not sure now. Can you verify?
wp-content/themes/buddpress-home/css/base.css
wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/activity/activity-list.php
Hi !
is something on air about achieving harmonization between language files from bbpress and wpmu+buddypress ?
bbpress is only half traduced by his own .mo, all the rest comes over WP mo’s.
I tried to mix both mo file, but Poedit said: 167 lines duplicated !!!! A bit to much to continue on this path.
I take a look on functions.bb-l10n.php (bbpress) and l10n.php(BP), witch are very similar. Just the calls to each .mo shows really different. I tried to hack some functions but nothing got to work.
Does somebody already found a solution to this problem ?
Yes, to all of the above. Blog creation works. All user-side BuddyPress features redirect to the signup page. i.e. click on ‘news’ and you get sent to:
http://example.com/wpmu/wp-signup.php?new=wpmunews
Everything under ‘My Account’ and ‘Notifications’ is similarly affected.
From the Admin Dashboard, things work as expected.
Well, I’m glad someone else has seen this. I don’t see this though:
the member-theme selection in the buddy press options(sitewide admin) shows themes from my themese directory(the buddypresshome and other standard wpmu themes) instead of showing the buddypress-members theme.
It’s got to be something in the theme though because I’m running another install using trunk for everything except the themes and it’s running fine.
o and i think i have found the cause of the problem.. the member-theme selection in the buddy press options(sitewide admin) shows themes from my themese directory(the buddypresshome and other standard wpmu themes) instead of showing the buddypress-members theme. iv been checking the code and well i cant really place my finger on it..
function bp_core_get_member_themes() {
add_filter( 'theme_root', 'bp_core_set_member_theme_root' );
$themes = get_themes();
if ( $themes ) {
foreach ( $themes as $name => $values ) {
$member_themes[] = array(
'name' => $name,
'template' => $values
);
}
}
return $member_themes;
}
function bp_core_set_member_theme_root() {
return WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/member-themes';
}
function bp_core_set_member_theme_root_uri() {
return WP_CONTENT_URL . '/member-themes';
}
Hello,
i have installed Buddypress the bbPress Forum. Both are the latests builds. If i write in bbPress direct, i can use öäüß and the forum shows them. The look also ok in buddypress.
If i writhe öäüß into an Buddypress Group forum, i get somthing like that ß Ö„Ü¼/p>. In bbPres it looks like that aus /amp/auml;/amp/ouml;/amp/uuml;/amp/szlig; /amp/Ouml;/amp/Auml;/amp/Uuml;
In both configs WPMU und bbPress is utf8 defined
Any hint how to solve the problem? It seems to be a problem of the filtering funktion in the buddypress forum plugin.
Best,
Karl-Heinz
Everything is fresh from SVN trunk about two hours ago. No plugins, no themes, new DB. I tested WPMU with a new blog and edited a post, then installed the BP plugins and themes. It’s as if WPMU doesn’t recognise it’s there.
For example:
http://example.com/wpmu shows the BuddyPress Home page
http://example.com/wpmu/testblog shows the initial test blog
http://example.com/wpmu/members
http://example.com/wpmu/news
http://example.com/wpmu/groups – WPMU is treating these like normal and when not finding anything at the URL, is re-directing to wp-signup.php
i.e. http://example.com/wpmu/wp-signup.php?new=wpmunews
I’ll take https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/224
Clear forums cache when replying to a post.
Took a quick look and it seems that the cache is serving up a topic and it’s replies. The cache isn’t being updated when a reply is created. It serves up the topic and all it’s replies until it gets stale. Then it goes and gets fresh stuff.
I’ll take a look around at the other caching activity down in there too.
Speaking of caches. We got the same problem here. Post a new reply and you get served up the prev page without your new post. wp-super-cache? It doesn’t happen all the time. Just most of the time. 
Oh ya, I don’t think these bugs you’ve listed are very ‘outstanding’ at all Andy. An really interesting bug would be:
“When I view my profile my washer and dryer quit working”. That would be outstanding!
It’s as if BuddyPress is not installed and WPMU is finding no blog at the URL so redirecting the user to signup. However, BuddyPress is installed and partially working (the options show up in the Site Admin menu).
Hello,
I’ve just installed BuddyPress in a sub-directory i.e. example.org/buddypress/ (not sub-domain). Everything seems OK with the blogs, but I’m finding that the members and groups pages are being redirected to the blog sign-up page /wp-signup.php?new=blahblah
Does BuddyPress run in a sub-directory? I’ve had it working on a sub-domain before without a hitch.
Once again these things belong in trac https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket Otherwise they just get lost in the noise and mayhem.
Andy loves these kinda posts. He doesn’t always get here to see them before they float off the main page though. The best thing is to put in a trac ticket with your find. It reminds him. https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket
just enqueque your script or waiting my own next plugin on bpdev (buddypressdev.org)

I’ve had several instances of Buddypress in testing for months, and currently have the latest versions of WPMU and Buddypress on a test server. It seems to me there is a disconnect within Buddypress/WPMU when it comes to the handling of avatars/gravatars.
What I know:
– the wpmu admin can set a default avatar to be used within Buddypress for those who haven’t uploaded a personalized avatar or are without a gravatar. This is fine, and seems to work without an issue on my test servers (although the avatar does not seem to follow the user for blogs).
– if you don’t have a gravatar and attempt to upload a personalized avatar, it ususally screws up and you’re left with either a black image, or no image, or some variation of the crop feature not working. Despite my best efforts and many others in the forum, the avatar upload/crop feature is still buggy and I’ve yet to get it to work consistently.
– i’ve found that users with gravatars experience no problems at all.
Since Automattic now owns Gravatar.com, would it not make sense to remove the ‘upload avatar’ function in the Buddypress profile entirely (it is prone to issues given different hosting environments, installed software base, etc.) and figure out a way to make signing up for a Gravatar simple right within Buddypress?
I am aware of a plugin (Easy Gravatars) that in theory at least enabled a blog owner to sign up for a Gravatar without leaving the site. While this plugin does not seem to be updated and/or currently working, I think it provides a great opportunity to fix this annoying issue once and for all.
If I’m off base please chime in and set me straight.
Cheers
Wouah !
Thank you for the translation in today’s pot file !
Ca c’est du service !
