Yes it really works, thank you very much: Forumov Setup
A configuration file could not be created. No problem, but you will need to save the text shown below into a file named bb-config.php in the root directory of your WordPress installation before you can start using the forum functionality.

Here is a simple guide:

Hope it helps… BTW, I’ve posted questions that have gone unanswerd on this site for days..(some weeks) Sooner or later somebody answers, if not -that’s the way it goes when you’re not paying for support and your using an open-sourced product. The guys at http://premium.wpmudev.org/ offer paid support if you need it. Also the guys at http://bp-dev.org/ will hire out for projects. The core group of coders here are pretty amazing…

After seaching for a month as to what the best social site software is for my use, I kept coming back to Buddypress because it allowed me the freedom to do what I wanted… The others were very restrictive in their “canned” solutions. I’m pretty happy so far. AND very much looking forward to the major update of WordPress 3.0 Stable, coupled with Buddypress NEW Stable… it looks as though all of the problems that I have had are going to be fixed in a month or so…

FYI, 3.0 RC3 is now available: https://wordpress.org/development/2010/06/3-0-rc3/

So I know classifieds uses another blog for all of its posted data though going into wordpress 3 I think that it would be better if classifieds used the new post type function.

@seanbaugh What I posted above was for two single WP installs. I have to add that if you’re going to do the above, make sure that the 1st WP install and the 2nd WP install have the same versions. So if existing install is WP 2.9.2, then your second install must also be WP 2.9.2 – can’t guarantee it will work if you use different versions. Just backup your 1st install’s database first if you want to experiment with different versions.

@pjnu

wait for version 3.0 to be release
wpmu2.9.2 is basically a merge of standalone wordpress and wpmu.
you can enable multisite (wpmu) in 3.0 by a simple wp-config.php file edit

This is fantastic — thank you mercime for providing this information.

Your second WP install in subdomain should be installed in the same database (with different prefix) with your first WP install. Btw, backup your database before trying this. So in wp-config.php of the second WP install, just before “That’s it, you can stop editing” you should also add:
define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘wp_users’);
define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, ‘wp_usermeta’);

Having said that WP 3.0 is around the corner, when you upgrade you can make your install multisite and define BuddyPress in subsite in subdomain or subdirectory structure, and you have one log-in for members to access both areas.

Here’s one you can try:

Sorry for late reply, the widget I made is a proper WP widget that you can manage in the wordpress widgets section and it’ll show who’s online. It works just like the default who’s online widget, but it’ll only show your friends. I updated it with the version I have working on my site with latest buddypress installation.

Hi,

Thanks for the nice plugin.

I have installed latest plugin (1.2.4) today.

I am using WordPress Mu 2.9.2 and buddypress 1.2.4.1

I have applied settings. But, I am not seeing the changed buddypress titles like profile and so on.
Please suggest me

Thanks

@dascribe More details. Are you using wordpress mu or wordpress?

I did not so long ago but wasn’t happy with the memory footprint I was having on my VPS mainly due to Apache being too resource hungry and the intermintent lock ups of my server because Apache likes memory for breakfast, especially when it gets busy and even when its not busy at times. Plus I had to tone down the static caching because I was doing a lot of development work on it and got fed up waiting for the new content to appear.

Gone back to pure Nginx and certainly not looking back at the moment.

Running Nginx, PHP-FastCGI, WP3 MS, BP and a whole heap of WP plugins and my site certainly has an edge over any other setup I’ve installed on it in the past, especially Memory/Speed wise.

Biggest problem I have found with Nginx Rewrites is getting Images, avatars, avartar uploadds working. Nginx rewrites for WPMU 2.9.2 and WP3 MS are different (not sure about WP 2.9.2). Couldn’t find a working solution online so came up with my own based on the what I’ve learnt over the last few months. Probably better solutions as I’m not an expert but the important thing is that they work .

If you want to try yourself heres the Nginx rewrites I’m currenly using…

location / {
root /www//root;
index index.php;

gzip on;
gzip_http_version 1.0;
gzip_vary on;
gzip_comp_level 3;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
gzip_buffers 16 8k;

if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^.+/?(/ms-.*) $1 last;
rewrite ^/files/(.+) /wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 last;
rewrite ^.+/?(/wp-.*) $1 last;
rewrite ^.+/?(/.*.php)$ $1 last;
rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
expires 10d;
break;

}
}

location ~* ^.+.(html|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|css|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|pdf|ppt|txt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf|js)$

if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^.+/?(/wp-.*) $1 last;
rewrite ^.+/?(/.*.php)$ $1 last;
rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
}

expires 30d;
break;
}

location ~ .php$ {

keepalive_timeout 0;

fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

}

this will block all new entries for certain activity stream types:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/

but i’m sure you could extract the code or modify it for a certain group, etc.

or you could loop over the has_activities filter and unset the items based on type
