This is what you want, but it looks like you have to pay for it

Are you trying to keep Group A from reading the Posts from Group B? If not, what about just using the P2 theme http://p2theme.wordpress.com/ on a Group Blog using this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/ and then instruct users to categorize or tag appropriately. P2 makes it easy for the community to post without having to go into the dashboard.

Sorry if this isn’t what you are thinking of.

Still much nicer to have all the discussion live on the plugin page (which is linked to from the download page on wordpress and the admin panel, so it’s where users will go for support usually)

Yes, Jeff explains things much clearly.

You can use single WP and assign users a WP role of contributor or editor if you want users to post on the same blog.

If you want what WordPress.com offers — single user blogs — then opt for WPMU.

I had to add this module to my WP 2.9.2 setup (I’m not using WPMU) to get the user activation emails to work

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

After configuring this module, things worked like a charm.

I have the same problem and can’t access /members /activity /groups /blogs

can i just downgrade to 2.9.1

@rickbradford

…I want all member blogs on a single site…

If you want to offer your members their own blog, then you will need to use WPMU. The fact that each of your members has their own blog does not mean they have their own site. All the blogs are located on and served from your site.

If you only want to have one blog but offer a social networking layer on top of that using BuddyPress, then single-version (solo-blog) WordPress is all that you need. But, with both WPMU and WP, BuddyPress will allow you to create a social network. As Andy says, the only difference is whether you want to offer your members the option to create their own blogs on your site.

So excited for Monday! Thanks for looking into that foxly.

This is the plugin I was referring to – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints/

There documentation – http://techcube.net/docs/1.3/docs.html

It’s the only points system for WordPress Single Install

The debate about the wire vs activity stream has happened several times already on this board, so it’s probably not worth rehashing it, though for what it’s worth xspringe I think you make some fair points.

For the moment, if you want to keep the wire, use the backward compatibility plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-backwards-compatibility/

That’s because he specified “http://www.cfcommunity.net/” in his Facebook Application, but his website is identified as “http://cfcommunity.net/” by WordPress (see http://www.justin-klein.com/projects/wp-fb-autoconnect#faq11 )

I’m having a similar problem, people sitting next to me who are online and the widget is saying ‘There are no users currently online’.

WordPress MU 2.9.2 , BP 1.2.1

Presumably if this is a timezone issue, as suggested in the ticket, then this is a product of the same problem.

@etiviti you rock. Thanks for your speedy replies.

I’ve had your forum extras installed for a couple days and things were fine. I just tried to install a TinyMCE plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-tinymce/ – which works great as well.

Unfortunately with BP-TinyMCE activated the Quote function no longer loads any text in the comment box. It just changes to “quoted” but that’s all that seems to happen.

Do you know what’s causing the conflict? Is it something you can change or is it a problem with BP-TinyMCE? I *need* a way for my users to format their topics so if it comes down to it I’ll just leave Quote deactivated…but it would be cool to have both. Perhaps if you get it working you can include BP-TinyMCE in forum extras?

WP 2.9.2 BP 1.2.2.1

He should also add the FB connect button to the BP sidebar login form using the action “bp_sidebar_login_form”. And also add the buddypress tag to the plugin. If someone wants to let him know that..

Also, the plugin is phoning home with server details, I think that’s against the repo rules? Check function jfb_auth().

Edit: Not sure if it does break the rules (http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/how-to-get-plugin-removed-from-dir/) but I still find it a bit off, even if it is harmless.

I should have done a bit more testing before providing feedback. BTW, I am using BP Links with a Single WP install on my development server.

*** I made an error earlier: avatar images aren’t uploaded in their original size to your wordpress uploads folder. The single link page embeds the original fullsize image from the site one links to (again, not the greatest thing if you’re working with a fixed width template), but the thumbnails shown on my Directory Links page are the fullsize image, just scaled down by width and height pixel values. ***

@MrMaz I’m glad to hear that BP Links is handling resizing and creating thumbnails to the BP constants. I guess things are being handled differently on a Single WP install at the moment. I’ll continue to test this plugin as things develop. Or I might just migrate to WP MU, though I’ve heard WP 3.0 will have a multi-blog feature that one can enable.

FYI, I encounted another issue. When I created a second test link the Directory Links page only shows one link now (the newest one). However, both created links appear in my Activity Stream.

In regards to the filtered RSS link:

I hope other people request this as well. I plan on adding the Most Popular or Highest Rated feed to the site’s twitter updates via twitterfeed.

you can download the group forum extras – but you don’t have a need for all of that. this code snippet will enable wp shortcodes on post content

add_filter( 'bp_get_the_topic_post_content', 'do_shortcode' );
