BuddyPress.org

1. False. We get it everyday in our bug tracker.
2. BuddyPress.org and testbp.org see substantial traffic, and our showcase includes other high traffic BuddyPress powered sites.
3. BuddyPress.org is powered by the trunk version of BuddyPress, and could easily be powered by any 1.2+ version with only modifications to allow it to run on the shared .org space.
4. BuddyPress is operated in a similar fashion as WordPress, and has the complete support of the core contributing team of WordPress. That’s actually a good thing.
5. BuddyPress uses the same license as WordPress does. That’s another good thing.

have a look at @boonebgorges plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-external-activity/ and you could modify that to attach to usermeta vs groupmeta

The only prob im having is creating a blog from groups>example_group>admin>groupblog – if you select a existing blog, all goes fine. When you select to create a new blog I get the following error though it does create the new blog despite the error msg.

First: I have not updated to WordPress 3.0 …
I used “root” instead of “admin” and I immediately replaced after the installation all text with “admin” in the database with “root”.

Hi there, when I first rate a post, this msg appears:

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress-mu/wp-settings.php on line 765

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress-mu/wp-settings.php on line 780

If I refresh, everything goes back to normal.
Using WPMU 2.9.2, BP 1.2.3 and malleable for BP 0.0.7 on localhost.

Regards,

1) Yes, this is possible via this plugin – http://www.justin-klein.com/projects/wp-fb-autoconnect
2) Yup, BP offers profiles with avatar uploading / cropping.
3) By P2P, I believe you mean the activity stream. You can disable that in the admin area.
4) It depends what you mean by “simple forum”. The forums in BuddyPress do not offer a universal backend to administrate topics. Also, an important distinction you need to know is BuddyPress uses a concept known as “groups”. You need to create a group before you can enable a forum. This is similar to way Facebook works with fan pages. If you need a traditional forum (with forum categories, admin interface), stick to your bbPress install.

If you just want profiles, you can enable just the profiles component and turn off the rest.

The fundamental difference between BuddyPress and bbPress is this:
-bbPress is a forum
-BuddyPress is a social networking script

I believe it’s possible to have extended profiles and avatars on your bbPress install as well. There should be a few plugins out there that does the job.

Re: future of bbPress – it’s pretty much confirmed that bbPress will become a WordPress plugin some time late this year (in fact, work has begun!). Standalone bbPress will cease to exist. However, there are plans to provide backwards compatibility to the new plugin via an import script.

You can ignore notices for the most part; it’s something the BP core dev team needs to clean up, but won’t affect the functionality of BP.

I believe you have WP_DEBUG defined in wp-config.php, if you do, uncomment that line.

Try the BP Groupblog plugin instead:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/

It’s been awhile since I’ve used BP Community Blog (back in the ol’ BP 1.0 days), but I believe it allows you to give a group access to an existing blog to post at. This wouldn’t be on the BP frontend. It’s more of a WP admin thing. Just glanced the code a bit, and I *think* the code should still hold up…

You don’t need the BP Template Pack if you’re doing this.

What you’ll need to do is:

1) Deactivate the BP Template Pack plugin.
2) Activate the BuddyPress Default theme on your blog.
3) Setup WP 3.0 in network mode as a subdirectory install.
4) Create a new user blog and activate whatever theme you want on this new blog.

Try Boone’s BP Group Management Plugin:

I’ve only ever seen ones that the blog owner sells stuff. I wonder if https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-e-commerce/ or other WP plugins have been tested on WPMU so that blog owners could sell stuff too.
