You could make one group a standard group which everbody auto joins, but other than that the only option is a seperate bbpress install.

[Mike Pratt]

One thing to consider is that it is supposed to work that way, otherwise all you have is a standard old-fashioned bbPress setup. Groups give forum topics context, which gives user something to rally around topically. If a forum isn’t part of a group, then eventually all your topics will blur and you will be awash in a sea of unrelated postings. (which is the state of most b-board systems today, imho

Size doesn’t matter, right?

Anyways, adjusting some css should do the trick. set your logo as the background image of the a tag, give it the width and the height of your logo and then move the text out of the screen using text-indent.

Something like this (put it in custom.css, which you might have to create under _inc/css/):

#header h1 a {

background:transparent url(../images/buddypress/bp_logo.gif) no-repeat left top;

display:block;

height:42px;

text-indent:-999em;

width:180px;

}

By the way, a little searching here on the forum would have given you the answer as it’s come up a few times already.

enjoy!

You could back up the forum data to your computer as a SQL query, do some search and replaces (mainly to replace paragraph tags with newline characters) and reimport. I did something like that and it took care of probably 95% of the HTML markup. http://teleogistic.net/2009/12/upgrading-from-buddypress-1-0-to-1-1/

[sclough]

I think my steps are all that’s needed. I was just looking for some confirmation. Hopefully a dev will update the docs with this.

Now, if I could just figure out how to properly display the html bbPress put on older forum posts ( see https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/how-to-display-html-in-forums )

Well I was trying not to point any fingers, but yes, vBulletin, phpBB and all the other bigger forum softwares out there. “Your doing it wrong.”

[Jean-Pierre Michaud]

like what, vBulletin?

rofl

you’re right… the more gadgets, the less it is a forum…

[John James Jacoby]

This is exactly what I’ve done in the past.

There’s a lot of pitfalls and problems trying to guess at integration methods to program BuddyPress to understand how to adjust existing installations to match the new setup. There really isn’t a database upgrade involved in keeping your existing forums, it’s just making sure that everything knows where to look to accomplish what tasks.

Having two separate platforms bridged in the middle isn’t a new or uncommon thing, it just isn’t something that makes your average site admin smile.

Only extra that buddypress needs now is an easier wordpress intergration, bbPress already has all the core functions of a good forum software, if you need more, write a plugin.

I’d rather not have bbPress get bloated like one of the other huge forum softwares out there.

[Jean-Pierre Michaud]

hum, ok, but this topic was posted over and over, and as THIS site is not about bbPress, stressing everybody over and over about it is not really appropriate. If you, personally, need that project to go forward, that’s ok, but please consider putting your energies at the right place…

@ Bowe: Normally this is correct, but wordpress makes an exception. Only if you want your theme/plugin in the plugin or theme repository over at wordpress.org, you have to have GPL on it. If you want to place your own copyright or copyleft on it, your allowed to do so. I can’t find a page on wordpress clarifying this in detail, since they don’t like you using any other license.

I do have a statement on the forum that verifies this (second post).

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/260431

Btw, contacted the fellows over at wpmu-dev, they’re 100% GPL, so you could even freely give away their plugins/themes if you wanted to. But I don’t think they’d be giving updates anytime soon if their plugins/themes would be handed out for free.

How to work with both customized and translation .mo files?

1. I’ve uplaoded an id_ID translation (mo) file and using the multilingual plugin, it’s works.

2. I’ve made a bp-custom.php to change ‘wire’ slug into ‘memo’. It’s working on my translation pages, but not with the default english contents (‘memo’ URL’s are fine, but not with menus and ‘wire’ related texts).

<?php

define( 'BP_WIRE_SLUG', 'memo' );

?>

3. I’ve made a customized PO file (english) to fix this and load the MO language file with bp-custom.php. Now the english language is working (URL’s and contents), but those changes made some of my id_ID translation turns back into english (some ‘memo’ related translation) but the rest translation is fine…

<?php

define( 'BP_WIRE_SLUG', 'memo' );

define( 'BPLANG', 'memomu' );

if ( file_exists( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-languages/buddypress-' . BPLANG . '.mo' ) ) {

load_textdomain( 'buddypress', BP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-languages/buddypress-' . BPLANG . '.mo' );

}

?>

Did i made any mistake with those steps?

Is it allright using both customized and translation .mo files?

please help, thanks!
