“How to hide selected profile fields”
So far, I’ve been able to integrate buddypress and bbPress.
My question involves this whole “deep integration” thing. I’ve scoured the forums on bbpress.org and mu.wordpress.org, but have not found anything that relates directly to running WPMU within bbpress.
Anyone know of a thread or have information on how to arrange this “deep integration?”
thx
@Andy
Thanks for this information. I do have integration between buddypress and bbPress, such that my users, group forums, and logins, work seamlessly between the two programs.
I have not been able to understand what deep integration means in terms of WPMU + Buddypress + bbPress, and I’ve even gone over to the bbpress.org and mu.wordpress.org forums. Mostly because the program versions are all so different and the forums are often 1-2 years old that I can’t really gauge what procedures I should follow for WPMU 2.7.1, BP 1.0, bbP 1.0 alpha 6.
If you could point me to a thread that discusses deep integration between these three versions (whatever is close enough), or a thread on how to load WPMU in bbPress, I would appreciate it. Then I can implement your instructions.
Thanks!
That seems relatively easy. Ill try it once I complete customizations of other parts of my website. Would I use the same code in member blog templates to bring up the buddy bar there or would that not work? I use subdomains for member blogs.
Make sure you have deep-integration set up inside your bbPress. Basically make sure WP is loaded.
You’ll need to add a call to the wp-footer action so the BuddyBar is loaded:
<?php wp_footer() ?>
Add that before the closing HTML tag in your bbPress template footer and the bar should show up.
You’ll also need to add a wp_head() call to inside the header of your template too, so that the CSS works:
<?php wp_head() ?>
Since this is a request for services and not a BuddyPress-support-forum issue, I’m closing this thread. Those who are interested in providing services have contact information above.
Jfcarter-
Have you resolved this issues yet? Obviously Andy has this working as you would like.

Im working on three bbpress themes for original buddypress theme. Sorry my english suck!
Maybe you know how to fix my theme. The adminbar in my theme is showing but only a grey rectangle. So, these link just it\’s a example of my progress. But i\’m not programmer 
only entusiast!
@Renzokuomo
I’m not sure what you mean. I followed the link and it was a topic with only one entry and didn’t really have an answer.
I’m looking to add the bp-admin-bar the bbPress, so I need something that will cause bbpress to recognize buddypress so I can get the bar to show up. I have the php code; the problem is getting it to show.
I appreciate your help, though.

I\’d like to know as well. Especially that \”Dear User\” annoys the hell out of me. \”User\” sounds like \”drug user\” or \”abuser\” or \”you\’re not a friend, you\’re just a user!\”.
The email is sent out after the new member has already given his name. There should be a way to just include the full name or first name in the welcome email. It\’s standard practice.
BTW, Socialpreneur, do you mean this thread? It’s not very helpful.
Does anyone know how to get the buddybar included?
One more thing, make sure that you have pingbacks and XML-RPC check in bbpress.
go to wpmu forum, there’s a thread about this.
(This is not buddypress question)
Hi,
I have had the same problem for the last few days, using wpmu2.7.1, bp1.0, bb1a6, bbpress integration plugin and buddypress-enable.
The steps that seem to have solved the problem:
1. Delete all cookies.
2. Go to bbpress, register a new user. Log into bbpress as keymaster and give define that new users as admin.
3. Create a new forum in bbpress (any new forum).
4. Log into wpmu, go to forums setup and use the new user you just created.
5. Delete all cookies.
5. Log in, try starting a new group in wpmu.
I’m trying to pinpoint which of these steps did the trick to reuse it beyond my test installation.
Let me know whether it works for you as well, and if you figure out what the reason is.
Good luck
John,
Just checked out delsolownersclub.com. Really like the way all parts of the website are well integrated (including the forum)
Since this is a BuddyPress forum, I’ll assume you’re talking about the Buddypress widget “Recent Blog Posts” and not the WordPress widget “Recent Posts”
You need to look in bp-blogs-widgets.php for the code. But, do not change the code within that file. It is a core BuddyPress file and any changes you make will be lost the next time you upgrade. Instead, make a copy of that file and create your own custom widget.
“Member blogs come up, but each new member would have to configure their own widgets.
I’d like members to be able to join and have everything set up for them. “
this comes up under basic WPMU blog defaults, and is covered extensively over in that forum. there’s even 2 plugins available to set blog defaults.
with widgets it’s a little different – if you don’t want them to change anything, don’t use widgets. hardcode it in the theme sidebar.
I’m following the instructions for the new 1.0 release, however when get to the point where I save the config file in step one and then I click the button to take me to step two and it just sends me straight to the forum homepage and does not allow me to set up the integration?
I’ve tried to deleting the bb config file a few times now but the same thing keeps happening?
Any ideas why?
I was just thinking, is that a buddpress checkbox or a WMPU checkbox? Might need to move this to the MU forums…
Ilya,
I’m working on a project where i must integrate WPMU, buddypress and bbpress all together.
http://terafriu.com/forum/ is the forum page. I have modified the kakumei theme that came with bbpress. Changing the header and footer will go a long way. But it ultimatly depends on what you are trying to acheive. For the time being you’ll either have to create/modify your own.
Keep in mind that Buddypress is a fairly new application and we should be gratefull to get such an application for free! When the important stuff like bug fixes etc are resolved we will see tons of themes, just like WordPress.
Dantes, if you view the forum via the groups page, then yes it will show up integrated into the BuddyPress group area. Otherwise, bbPress is its own application with its own plugins and theme files. You would need to create a theme to mimic the style of the rest of your website.
Ok, I just managed to fint out that everything went back to normal as soon as I deleted the TwitterToWire 1.1 plugin witch I found somewhere in the forums here. I’m writing this post because I want to update status to resolved.
