Would be nice to see the ability to do this.
Just started this a few days ago http://infonatr.com
Did users 1, 2, and 3 each publish the posts or did user 1 publish all of them and attribute the second and third posts to the other users? I believe there’s a bug in buddyPress where whoever actually publishes a post (or approves a comment) is considered the author, not the attributed author or commenter. I’m running code from a few weeks ago so some of this may be corrected in the latest trunk (I’m upgrading now) but as of the files I’m running this was a bug.
@Mike yes I’m in Michigan. Wanna be in Arizona these days. OK, but a bunch of us are on irc.freenode.net #buddypress. I usually have that running.
There are some easy hacks, one could be as simple as
‘
remove_filter( ‘bp_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 2);
add_filter( ‘bp_the_profile_field_value’, ‘bp_profile_link_profile_data_with_urls’, 2, 3); ‘
Then create a function, similar to xprofile_filter_link_profile_data, but have it search for substr($field_value,0,7) = “http://”, then create a normal hyperlink, not a buddypress link
Just a thought,
Brad

Video gaming blog network, we first tried using wpmu on its own, found it didn’t work how we wanted, then found buddypress. Really like Buddypress, think it’s going to go really far.
I want to create a separate bbpress forum install for private and hidden groups. I’d like all public groups to share the same bbpress install. I was thinking that I could modify the buddypress to bbpress_live interface to swap the backend params such as bbpress install url and admin user/pass before bbpress_live got them. I haven’t looked yet at the code to see what is involved.
As I was thinking about this, I realized that both bbpress installs would share the same user base. This means that any user in bbpress install ‘a’ would have the same role in bbpress install ‘b’. This is not good. The bbpress ‘capabilities’ are stored in wp_usermeta if bbpress and mu share the same user table.
This is not good. No, not good at all. Same user can’t have the same capabilities in both installs. No, not good. 
Are you and Sam talking about bp/bbpress forum integration and what is needed in this area? Privacy issues?
I have people with money waiting for answers to this. All I can tell them now is:
“It’s not possible to have a private/hidden group and carry on private conversations through the bp forums/groups. There’s no reason to bother thinking about bp as a solution to your social networking needs. Take your money and spend it elsewhere.”
No not good. I can create a locked down non-bp involved forum solution for them but that’s not what I want to do.
Hello,
I currently run a social network using DZOIC Handshakes. I am very impressed with BuddyPress, and have a couple of questions I hope you can answer:
– Is it possible to transfer the database of Handshakes to BuddyPress (members, blogs, forums etc.)?
– Could I buy a customized skin for BuddyPress?
Thanks in advance!
@ gogoplata – didn’t think of doing it like that but it makes sense! i’ll have a play around, thanks for the suggestion!
@ nicolagreco – im interested to see what you come up with! let me know if you need any help!
i found a facebook status update wp plugin that could be tweaked to fit in with BP…i might plat around with that too…
thanks!
There are several errors pulling up, but this is the first one and may be contributing to the other errors…

What do you recommend?
hey Chris,
i just find this article below through bluehost tech support. Now we have to figure out where this code exists in WPMU and/or buddypress.
http://helpdesk.bluehost.com/kb/index.php?x=&mod_id=2&id=231
Problem
Why do e-mails from my webpage come from < username > @ < box# > .bluehost.com when I have specified otherwise?
Solution
This is because our servers require you (or your script) to use a properly formatted, valid From: header in your email. If the From: header is not formatted correctly, empty or the email address doesn’t exist on our server, the from address will be changed to <username>@<box#>.bluehost.com. To stop this, you must change the script you are using to correctly use a valid From header.
Examples of headers that should work would be:
From: user@domain.com
From: <user@domain.com>
From: “name” <user@domain.com>
Examples of headers that will NOT work:
From: “user@domain.com”
From: user @ domain.com
Alternative for PHP Users:
– You can also modify which account should be used when sending out using the mail() function. Inside the local php.ini file, you will find a line of code that looks something like this (around line 601):
sendmail_from = mail@yourdomain.com
Be sure to uncomment this by deleting the ‘;’ before the directive. Also, the account you use must be a valid created account.
Hi, I’m having the same problem as well. I get @box441.bluehost.com as my address. Is this in buddypress or wpmu? I read somewhere that pluggable.php was a file to change in wpmu but haven’t been able to figure it out. please help!
thanks!
I worked a lot with prologue and buddypress, now it’s highly alpha 
as soon as possible i’ll release something
I don’t think a Twitter-like functionality will be added to the BP core but this can be done now with around 10 minutes of work.
All you’d need to do is create a blog such as whereareyou.domain.com. Then add all existing users as authors and auto-add new users as authors to the blog (see this post for details on doing this, it only takes a minute). Finally install and tweak the prologue theme to suit your site. The updates users post to the blog will automatically show up on their profile like other blog posts.
This is a really basic implementation of a “Twitter-like” functionality, but with a little tweaking this setup works really well.
Is it possible to copy the news admin blog theme to the user’s blog? Because the kubicki theme doesn’t match to the design of buddypress?
Thanks for your help

Not sure how this will exactly work but here is the idea…
Allow BP communities to microblog twitter/prologue style. In the profile member theme there could be another button called “?” where users can “tweet” or whatever it will be called.
Then we could have a widget on the home page with all of the latest “tweets”.
This could be useful for my travel blog for example. Mine could be called “Where are you?” or something similar and users can write where are travelling at the moment…
Needs to be more refined buy you get the idea…
yes? no?

on bebo they have a feature where users can give a little love heart with each comment up to 3 per day, this adds to thier total love count displayed on thier profile
i would be so glad if someone could write a plugin for buddypress to accomodate for and extend this idea, by extend i am thinking
admin can choose amount of love per day, per comment (allow user to add more than one heart to a comment currently on bebo the user must post 3 separate comments to give out all thier hearts), allow the admin to change what it is they give out eg stars etc or more than one thing eg stars hearts etc,
on the wire you should have a transparent heart(s) that the user clicks to give the love which become fully visible to indicate the user is dontating thier love on this comment, also allow the admin to make a few random quotes to display to encourage the user to share the love, just like bebo lol
yeah i pretty much want my own bebo clone haha
i would be very happy if someone could make this plugin, i have many more ideas to improve buddypress features so please ask me if you are interested in my feedback
Hi!
after two days of correct working, my buddypress platfor has experienced
the following error:
when I try to go into the administration panel, a receice this error message:
here a screenshot: http://my.ziguline.com/images/error.png
i have had buddypress running on mine since it was available, i am still seeing bugs but nothing too major
http://hyrxx.com is my main site but im running the buddypress home theme on http://launch.hyrxx.com – this is an interesting way to have it setup i know but also it may give ideas to others who want a separate part for buddypress, i am still considering moving my blog to a subdomain and putting buddypress on the main page but for this to happen i want to learn to theme it and i need it to be extremely perfect
my site is about me and teenlife so please look but dont touch unless you interested its more of a niche kinda thing that most of you wont understand but i posted since i wanted to show my installation, i hope for it to grow and make a proper social network within my freinds, i want to encourage them to all blog and create relationships using wp and bp, feedback apprieciated robbie@hyrxx.com
ok, you’re correct, it’s the 404 bug that’s causing this. I tried to create slugs as you mention at https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=666#post-3003 but it didn’t help.
As long as I now the cause I can live with it, http://snakkis.no is a beta site.
