Howdy all. I’ve got a little plugin ready for testing that allows bp group forum functionality in bbPress. From the readme.txt:
Description
Enable BuddyPress group forum features in bbPress.
BuddyPress has three types of groups. Public, Private and Hidden. In all three
cases users must be members of a group to participate in group forum conversations.
These two plugins modify a standard bbPress forum installation to allow
BuddyPress group members to carry on discussions in bbPress.
BuddyPress public groups will be read only in bbPress. Anyone wishing to participate
in a public group discussion must be a member of that group in bp.
BuddyPress private and hidden groups will be hidden in bbPress. Only members
of these groups will see the forums and be able to participate.
BuddyPress group admins and mods have moderator privileges in bbPress.
The moderator role is restricted to their group forum.
I’m gonna do a blog post about this but first I have to run up to the store and get something for my girlfriend. Something pink and expensive. Candy people, candy. This is Valentines Day right? Forgot all about it being buried up to my eyeballs in php for the past week.
EDIT: I’m back. Girlfriend is happier. I’m happier that she’s happier.

Hello,
BP seems revolutionary, but I’m still trying to figure out what’s possible and what isn’t. I hope someone will be kind enough to answer the following:
1. Can the profile pages be redesigned
2. Can other plugins be added in the profile pages(such as a BumpIn chat box)
3. Can users send private messages to each other
Thanks for your guidance
Just thought I’d show interest in an events module/addition to groups too.
As already mentioned being able to create an event with info, invite members and allow an RSVP would be brilliant. Just throwing in a few more thoughts:
– Allowing users to click say “I’m attending”/”I might attend”/”I’m not attending” buttons and their status showing on the events would be great.
– Have an “invited but not replied” status.
– Have maybe public/private events. Public events allow anyone (in that group?) to sign up/invite others, private events don’t.
As I say – just a few thoughts… Such a module/extension of groups would be amazing.
I’m working on a script to migrate a bunch of phpBB private messages to BP’s messaging system. phpBB’s table structure is pretty straightforward, but I’m having trouble figuring out all these squiggly bracket codes in wp_bp_messages_threads, such as the ones below:
message_ids
sender_ids
a:3:{i:0;i:1;i:1;i:2;i:2;i:3;}
a:2:{i:0;i:1;i:1;s:1:”2″;}
I get that wp_bp_messages_messages contains the actual message, and that wp_bp_messages_recipients contains the recipient. So wp_bp_messages_threads must be the table that associates these two, right? Can anybody give me advice on how to code my “INSERT INTO” data for the _threads table?? Thanks!!
Greetings fellow admins of social networks, and those starting up their own network.
Currently I’m the webmaster of a very active social network for online gamers, and video game enthusiasts. We have been online for over 3 years, with over 12k registered memebers, gaining a new members every day. We have been using a very out of date social network platform which I prefer not to name at this time. We are transitioning over to Buddypress, and have had amazing feedback on the beta site we have been running for almost 3 months now.
My questions, and thoughts lie not in the technical abilities of buddypress, as they have all met and exceeded my expectations, but in the user experience. As I have been active on this forum testing and answering questions when possible, I have a very solid understanding of the ways in which components interact, and what each part does. My concern lies in the user experience. What I think buddypress greatly lacks is instructional wording.
What my concern is that buddypress lacks the ability for an administrator to integrate words of advice and help along the way for new members. We have had members publish very personal things to the wire posts, thinking that only they could see it, like a private message, and have quickly come to us to have us remove them. There is no place for me to correctly enter in some words of caution, about wire posts showing up on the homepage.
There are many sections of buddypress, where just 1 or 2 lines of text would go along way to get members interacting and being social. For a new member, who is new to the whole idea of social networks, and has never friended someone before, it would be nice to explain to them the benifits to having friends, such as the ability to post on their wire.
What I’m asking for is support to have more actions added, for example: wire_post_form_instructions, or even better would be a admin panel, where all of the sections could have text areas to enter descriptions and advice. Some social networks might want to use this to link to help pages, or how to videos, others may want to put in reminders of user agreements, and some may want to be just quick and simple, such as “any post here is public, to send a private message, use the message feature”.
I know buddypress is still in the early stages and I’m really enjoying watching it grow an mature, but now is the time we need to make some decisions about what we want the user experience to be, and how we are going to lead our members to be the best members they can be.
If anyone has some suggestions or thoughts about this, please reply to this post, as I think it is important that this issue doesn’t get overlooked as everyone starts to roll out social networks using buddypress.
Thanks for you thoughts,
Brad

Topic: Success on private forums!
After a lot of wrestling around I finally got group forums and privacy running nicely together (so far):
1. Follow the instructions in the BP-Forums readme to integrate BP/BB. Skip the step about Cookie Integration (thanks Trent).
2. Install “BBPress Force-Login” (thanks Trent..again).
3. Install More-Privacy-Options.
