then I don’t know what to do.. You can try to save some money or try it make it yourself if you have css/xthml experience. If not you might wait a while because I heard that Xevo from this forum is working on a FB based theme on his soon to launch site http://www.bpninja.com
Good luck!
I did. The forums didn’t show up completely and there is a bug when posting in a group forum. How did you roll back to the previous version? Did you have to completely re-install wordpress?
There’s not supposed to be any generated password upon activation in 1.1.3. No passwords are ever sent by email in 1.1.3. You may have missed something in the upgrade.
We had noticed that the welcome email includes a wrong password, perhaps because of different encryption between WP and BP. The password that was entered upon registration still works.
Note that in 1.1.3 the WPMU is disabled by default. To bring it back you have to remove a function from the core files.
Could this also lead to the wrong passwords in the welcome email?
You don’t have to convince me why it makes sense to use email address instead of username. This post was the start of a long a painful process for me. Trust me, that plugin does what you need and then all you need to do is restructure the form and pick a fix for the user URL etc.
I really like how you separated the community and pulled the slugs out of the menu except for that. I might borrow that idea for our site to unclutter my nav bar. 
If you have any ideas you could share, please pm me.
External one just gives you the basic forum admin. You have the ability to create additional forums that don’t belong to groups. With the default one click method, you have to create a group for every forum that you want to create.
The plugin page says:
Compatible up to: WordPress MU 2.8.6 / BuddyPress 1.1.2
So it doesn’t work with 1.1.3? Or 1.2? Or WPMU 2.9.1?
Will the plugin be updated or was it more a one-time demo project?
I think I found a bug..
the solution to this little issue is.
Go to your bb-config.php, find the line where it sais “$bb->uri”
it is probably http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/ it should be the URL to your forum set up. For ex. http://yourdomain.com/forums/
Then it nicely copies all the forum topics opened through Buddypress to the BBpress instaltion.
Now I have to make it look like the rest of the website.
have a look > http://ecoflare.eu
instalation of WPMU 2.8.6 & Buddypress 1.1.3 & bbPress 1.0.2
… its for LOGIN not Registering.
logging in yeah, i can use it but first I need users with an email as username 
That’s just a matter of restructuring the registration form (version 1.0 now, currently upgrading to 1.1.3). You can autogenerate the username from the fullname using this javascript trick and then hide the username field.
Hacking core files to actually put email addresses in the username fields in the database is a recipe for disaster. Why do you want to do that? What am I missing?
I have the same problem here. after the deep dive installation the Forum part of buddypress stoped to work. Any idea why?
I followed this tutorial for the deep integration
http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/07/17/integrating-buddypress-wordpress-mu-and-bbpress/
Thanks for any help!
The usage of @ may have been a twitter hack, but it came from using it as a way to acknowledge or direct a comment at a user when a threaded option wasn’t available. We use it even here in these very forums quite often, because we can’t directly reply to one another.
Deprecated code, the wire, and the status update components are totally removed from the BuddyPress 1.2 core and will be available in a separate BuddyPress Backwards Compatibility plugin. If you desire to use those components, or are using a custom theme that uses old function names or loops, you will be required to install and activate this additional plugin to continue to use your old code.
This was done for three reasons:
1. Reduce the amount of legacy code in the core that is just hanging around not being used
2. Not give new comers 2 (or more) ways to do the same one thing
3. Influence plugin and theme developers to upgrade their code to be compatible with BuddyPress 1.2 sooner rather than later
More detailed instructions and details will come as the 1.2 launch comes closer, but this is the best way to make sure everyone is happy.
I know that the tutorial is for external bbpress integration. What I’m saying is that it was written before you had the option for linking bp to bbpress inside of buddypress. If I delete my bbconfig and reinstall forums, do I need to go through the full install including the cookies or do I only have to go to a certain point and then let buddypress handle it. I know that once I select external bbpress an let it integrae, I can then delete my old install files because it takes over. I just didn’t know at what point it takes over.
Thanks for linking me to the guide again. Was going to have to dig through old links to find it.
It uses the “plugin-template.php” file.
It’s a generic catch-all for plugins, which need a layout for their settings.
Look for it in /wp-content/wp-sn-parent/.
If you’re using a child theme, copy that file to your child theme folder.

I’m faced with the same situation. I love the integrated except for the fact that you cannot create any other forums that will not belong to any groups. This means that for every forum you want, you have to have members join that group as well to be able to post. I’m trying to find out current integration instructions for brand new full featured bbpress integrated since the old deep integration document seems for an old version. I don’t know if I have to fully set them up including cookie integration or if the bp linking handles that. I just wish I didn’t have to mess with themes and everything just to be able to add extra forums. That’s one question you’ll have to ask yourself.
It depends on your usage.
Most people will just use the default, integrated forums in BuddyPress.
If you didn’t upgrade from the BP 1.0 series, then just use the default. Unless you like the idea of having two sets of forums (which could be confusing from a UI perspective).
For others who are frustrated by add_submenu_page – using WPMU2.9.1 BP1.13
to BuddyPress menu in WP-admin
function add_menu_link(){
add_submenu_page( 'bp-general-settings', "YOUR MENU", "Your Title ",
'manage_options', 'your-plugin-slug', 'your_function');
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'add_menu_link', 20);
// NOTE the addition of a higher priority seems to solve the problems where
// WPMU starts trying to tell you that you don't have access (url is admin.php/?c=1)
I can’t take credit for this – the solution was here

There used to be a very similar sounding bug on these very forums. I think it was a caching issue.
Hmm… Just tried out defining slugs in wp-config.php but it didn’t change anything? Wrote the following at the bottom:
/** Set up Buddypress Slugs */
define ( ‘BP_GROUPS_SLUG’, ‘ideer’ );
define ( ‘BP_FORUMS_SLUG’, ‘debat’ );
define ( ‘BP_MEMBERS_SLUG’, ‘medlemmer’ );
define ( ‘BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG’, ‘aktivitet’ );
define ( ‘BP_GROUPS_SLUG’, ‘clubs’ );
define ( ‘BP_WIRE_SLUG’, ‘vaeg’ );
Also I took a look at bp_page_title() but it seems to me that it only defines titles for the blog area. Not directories, wire etc. Am I misunderstanding anything?
I’ve made a topic on Brajesh his forum where I proposed the idea to him.. If you would like to think with us you can register and leave some feedback to Brajesh and maybe feature requests:

There is some functionality written by TravelJunkie which allows you to create group types. Find his post here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/soon-to-release-bp-group-control-plugin
@Erich73: Supergroups are similar and could be seen as another group category.. The ideal situation would be if you could create different categories and could also say which category could do what. For instance:
Group Cat 1: Can use forums, activity stream and groupblog plugin
Group Cat 2: Only forums
Group Cat 3: Supergroup which can do all + has an extended activity stream as described in trac: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1593
To make it ever better it would also be cool if you could set up different desciption fields to fill in per group;
category 1 : Info, history, goals
category 2: Name, description, latest news
There must be someone who could help us out with this guys 
edit: I am willing to pay for this plugin to be developed. Might not be the only one I think?!
