This thread has a solution. It turns off all the auto linking in the profile fields. Right now it’s either on or off.

Yea! It’s not on our end!
Thanks John. I got it part of the way there, but it took my redheaded wonder of a PHP God to figure the rest of it out. He had to build a password hash table to get it all working right.
I should add though that we just now found a new problem. Creating a new blog doesn’t show up on the feed, but posting an entry or making a comment on any blog does. It wasn’t doing that before.
*sigh*
At least the forums are working.
No it isn’t going to as of yet.
There is no direct link between a normal forum and BuddyPress. Perhaps the bbGroups plugin could be modified to handle this type of thing, but that’s just handing Burt more implied work to do. 
Good job getting everything synchronized though!
Users, groups, friends, wire posts, activities, forum postings, etc.
Anything I could import to my db to “fill out” the site without having to tell all my friends and family to go register and setup a dummy account.
if the hook is do_action( ‘groups_new_forum_topic_post…
why are you using
add_action( ‘groups_new_form_topic_post’..
the error is in add_action the hook to use is ‘groups_new_forum_topic_post’ not ‘groups_new_form_topic_post’
OK, here’s some quick and dirty TESTING code. In a file that is located in mu-plugins, I have:
function my_hello_world($groupid, $mypostarray) {
print_r($groupid);
echo ‘Hello World‘;
print_r($mypostarray);
die;
}
add_action( ‘groups_new_form_topic_post’, ‘my_hello_world’, 1, 2 );
When it runs, I should see the variables listed along with “Hello World”. (The page dies before going back to the forum post listing). But the code inside the function is not executed.
If instead, I modify bp-groups.php to be:
do_action( ‘groups_new_forum_topic_post’, $group_obj->id, $forum_post );
/* Brent mod */
my_hello_world($group_obj->id, $forum_post);
the function runs. I see “Hello World” and the arrays printed.
westpointer-
Just is case…
In your first post you listed your add_action code as:
add_action( 'groups_new_form_topic_post', 'my_notification_new_post' );
If that is the actual code you’re using, then you have a typo. You need to change the word “form” to “forum” to match the do_action line. Of course, you need to include the proper parameters as nicola pointed out.
I hope it’s as simple as that little typo!
I tried that but still no luck. (BTW – aren’t the last two parameters optional? Or is it only optional if the number of variables passed is 1?)
What else could I be missing?? the add_action just doesn’t seem to be getting included in the list of actions to run when the do_action is executed.
I also tried adding:
global $group_obj->id, $forum_post;
as the first line of the function. (grabbing at straws). nothing. But if a directly call my function by adding a line below the do_action line, it works great. 
Yes you may.
Yes there can, through a plugin.
The answer has been here waiting for you.
More specifically, here. 
Hi Nicola,
No, I want to block users from writing on wires or forums etc. Is this possible?
Cheers,

The only thing that’s finished now is some of the blogs. Would like to customize the theme a little and I still need to figure out how to get the forums working 
There’s a small function floating around in the forum that should help you:
function oci_login_redirect($redirect_to, $set_for, $user){
$redirect_to = bp_core_get_userurl($user->id);
return $redirect_to;
}
add_filter('login_redirect', 'oci_login_redirect', 10, 3);
Just put that in your mu-plugins/bp-custom.php.
Credits goes to burtadsit.
Whooops! (Edited original post to avoid confusion also.)
<li><a href="<?php echo $bp->root_domain; ?>/forums/" title="<?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' );?>"><?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' );?></a></li>
Phil,
you’re going to want to do something a little more codey… 
<li><a href="<?php echo $bp->root_domain; ?>/forums/" title="<?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' );?>"><?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' );?></a></li>
I haven’t tested it, but I’m pretty confident.
You could go a step further and put this into a hook function, but lets try this for now and see if does what you want.
Sorry to have abandoned this one, I’ve been sick the past two days and somehow missed coming back to it.
I will however mark this one as resolved! Not that I deserve the honors ha!
That is a good idea for a plugin.
Is this something you are recommending be included with BuddyPress, or that someone optionally make this for you?
If you want it to be part of BuddyPress, add it as an enhancement by using the Trac:
https://trac.buddypress.org/login
You can use your same login and password as for these forums.
Create a new ticket, and under type, select “enhancement.”
If you’d like someone to take this task on for you privately, you will want to explore being added to one of the development mailing lists (which I don’t have a link to right this second but will find for you shortly.)
http://webomania.wordpress.com/2006/10/01/out-of-range-value-adjusted-for-column-error/ <- this is actually the solution right here. I dont know how it works, but it fixed my problem completely.
holdench, some of the variables between operating systems that could be hosed in the Windows version are:
Check that the bp user you have in bbPress Forums config on the bp side has ‘administrator’ rights.
Check that you have user switching turned on in bb-config.php with this:
$bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;
Lots of little things can be off. If any ONE isn’t right, things get weird or just don’t work period.
It’s getting wierder! I just installed all of this on my local MAMP server and all works as it should. The install was quite easy to complete overall. The client uses a windows server with apache, mysql 5 and php 5. Could this really be the problem?
Nothing huh? God this is frustrating.
@nicolagreco
In case you hadn’t noticed, I posted another suggestion for a plugin that I believe would be immensely popular, a hack of the current Friends plugin to create a new, simpler form of relationship to be used in addition to Friends:
Fans
I think it would be a great addition to the plugins you provide at your BuddyPress Dev site.
Fix for bb-config.php when using “deep integration”
How to currently, correctly include WordPress within bbPress and NOT throw a 404 in IE.
Add to beginning of bb-config.php:
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') & !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')) {
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
include_once( '/absolute/path/to/yourdomain.com/wp-blog-header.php' );
header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
header("Status: 200 All rosy");
}
@Matt, I think that if it’s partially working, than chances are something is amiss somewhere. Are you using deep integration or no?
I am supposed to NOT CHECK >>
Add cookie integration settings
If you want to allow shared logins with an existing WordPress installation.
>> right?
John, I am using the VERSIONS of software that you suggested already and thought I had it working and was pretty excited until I ran into point 2.
Point 1 : The same exact thing is happening when I ONLY use the forum part. I can create as many forums as I want, but any topic I post goes straight to a “This topic has been closed >> Back to …” no other message.
I suppose this also addresses point #2.
When you say that there will be a lot of action in the bbpress and buddypress realm, do you know this for a fact? Is this insider information? I want to use this for another client project that just came up, but cant do so until all bugs are worked out and the installation is more integrated.
Thanks John and Burt for thinking about this one.
I’m actually a bit fuzzy on what you mean by Deep integration Burt.
