it is per hour, so I do not know what it will be in the end…
depends i guess how many complications we encounter.. 
Plugin doesn’t exist yet. I meant theoretically, a plugin could be built to enable threaded comments in the forums.
“Settings > Discussion” is only applicable to WordPress blog comments.
BP doesn’t offer threaded comments in the forum.
It could be done via a plugin.
Not sure about the cropping avatar issue.
I’ve spent the last couple of hours using the compatibilty pack to get everything lined up – by matching the HTML layout.
It was quick and dirty but now it all fits fine and my sidebar is present (although I’d like to remove it from the buddypress specific pages). To be honest I was surprised I got this far!
Problems:
1. How to get the Nav buttons on the bar? or somthing like. Personally I’d like a ‘Socialise’ Button with Mystique drops downs for the buddypress components I use.
2. Forums don’t work. If I load up the default theme they work (although I can’t create a topic) but through Mystique I just get a black white page.
Any thoughts? If I send you my email address any chance I can have a look/ at what you’ve done?
Hi Peter,
i have sended you the fr_FR translation by the usual way…
I have a question to you and all other users.
What do you think to call this plugin “bp-doclib” instead of “buddypress-group-documents” ?
DocLib is really shorter as Group Documents in the admin menu and more handy to use on a forum, like
“hey my doclib is going crazy”, instead of “buddypress-group-documents is….”… 
+ 1 for me (even if DocLib (docutheque) is in use since 0.1.3 release on bp-fr.net)
Yes, it can be done.
You’ll want to install come plugins such as the “Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress” plugin and some type of picture album plugin, either here (which you have to pay for) or here (which is brand new and probably still has bugs).

just curious, if you dont mind me asking, how much are you paying them to do it? it would be great to get an idea as to how much something like that costs.
i am not a programmer, so have to pay developers to do it,..
of course for them it is a learning process also,
I will however try and post as much as I can,
but first we have to manage it
if you find an easy way to do this, please let me and other users know. if you could, writing a plug in for it would be awesome. many people have phpbb3 forums and would love to integrate them easily into bbpress
Ah, many problems!
But developer who is dealing with the conversion, slowly manages it,
one problem at the moment,
is for example with links.
in phpbb links are normal like that:
 http://tv.opentuition.com/categories/13/OpenTuition-ACCA-P2-Channel
in converted bbpress:
<!– m –>http://tv.opentuition.com/categories/13 … P2-Channel<!– m –>
is there a quick way to clean all this extra junk code?
I’m going to mark threads which I’ve looked in green, by the way.
EDIT: The ideas subforum doesn’t seem to have this feature, so I can’t do this
Should we mention our ideas/wishes here or will you collect them?
Sitewide tagging of Blogposts, groups, members, forum posts activities … would be great!
The Forums are bbPress, so you’re going about it in the correct way. Obviously you’ll need to create BP Groups for each existing forum and then update the forum IDs in the Groups database table. What sort of problems are you having?
Today I am going to make a list of all of the ideas on this forum so that we can get them to go into a poll.
I actually have this theme and looked at it and its so easy to convert. I think most of you are over thinking the process.
Here is the top of the BP forum index page looks like
<?php get_header() ?>
<?php do_action( 'bp_before_directory_forums_content' ) ?>
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
See the container and content? these need to match your theme exactly. On your theme it looks like this:
<?php get_header() ?>
<div id="content" class="col-full">
<div id="main" class="col-left">
So to fix it you need to merge these into this:
<?php get_header() ?>
<?php do_action( 'bp_before_directory_forums_content' ) ?>
<div id="content" class="col-full">
<div id="main" class="col-left">
You must do this with the bottom of the page code as well so the footer and sidebar code matches up.
BP forum index page bottom code:
</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #container -->
<?php locate_template( array( 'sidebar.php' ), true ) ?>
<?php get_footer() ?>
Your theme code:
</div><!-- /#main -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div><!-- /#content -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
In the admin you can turn off commenting on forum and blog posts in the activity stream.
You need to create a group to create a forum.
Try creating a group.
Now all I have to do it figure out how to change the default display of tags on the page. I’ve created a tag cloud display for the Forum tags at the top of the forum directory page, and used a custom function like @DJPaul suggested above to change the sizing and limits. But I can’t figure out how or where to change the sort order of the display.
By default the display is showing the tags with the most hits first, and then all the rest in no particular order. I would like to display all the tags in alphabetical order. But how?
I have quite a list.
– Database which allows users to add to it and comment/give their opinion about, basically something like imdb.
– The many questioned gallery plugin, I’m working on a non-profit project right now, so I’m not paying for anything.
– Invites plugin, make your users invite other users through importing their im list for example.
– Start user plugin, a plugin which tours people around the site and let them do certain things For example by letting them do 5 steps, and through a percentage meter, tell them how many steps they’ve done. This will make it easier for users to see what they can do on your site and how stuff works.
– Forum inside buddypress thats not linked to groups.
That’s probably not even all the stuff I would want for Buddypress, just the things I can come up with at the moment.
