Hi,
I’m running an MU site (version 2.9.1.1), and there seems to be a conflict when the Buddypress bar (default theme 1.1.3) and the LDAP plugin (version 2.9 from http://wpmuldap.frozenpc.net) are active at the same time:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at
/var/www/wordpress-mu/wp-content/themes/bp-sn-parent/header.php:3) in /var/www/wordpress-mu/wp-
includes/pluggable.php on line 868
I will also check in with the LDAP plugin folks, but I was wondering if you had ever run into this, and/or could point me in the right direction. Thanks!
That’s the exact opposite of what he needs though.

This is pretty old, since 1.2 doesn’t have wire anymore, but it’s almost the same.
It’s actually quite easy with BuddyPress 1.2, just requires cutting some stuff from the default BuddyPress child template functions, adding them to your own theme functions & some CSS edits.
I will be happy to post a howto once BuddyPress 1.2 comes out of beta if it helps.
@Bowe: ohh I didn’t realize that you were really aiming for an accordion. Awesome! I just got to the point where I was digging around and came across the Tabbed Widgets plugin, and I was wondering if it would be a better solution to create a plugin with the 4 or 5 BP widgets that I could plunk (technical term) into the Tabbed Widget corresponding areas.
Perhaps I’ll just wait for your tutorial? hmmm…
No WordPress MU? Those better be really good reasons! Be careful about hacking together your own network of blogs when WordPress can already do it for you. Did you know that WordPress is merging with MU for version 3.0?
Wondering if anyone can clearly articulate how to take an existing WordPress theme and convert it to a BuddyPress enabled theme for 1.2?
Andy has provided a good overview of how to Build a BuddyPress child theme from the new parent, but what about if you want to take a theme like P2 or a premium magazine theme and have it BuddyPress enabled?
If I’m missing something let me know.
Cheers
I’m also available to test so let me know when beta is out. I’m testing MediaWiki WPMU SSO plugin and also found this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wiki-append/. Having a group wiki is something I was looking at and I’m glad to see this one. My initial idea was to create a NameSpace in MediaWiki for each group. Of course there is user permissions issue.
what you refer to would be a WordPressMU install, which is a multi-users/blogs version of wordpress…
… but relationships to users need to be maintained, in a ddition to Groups and possibly even events. Then each image must maintain an associated comment/activity stream set of functionality. Finally, in order to be truly useful in a social media context, the ability to “tag” a user in an image will be very important.
That’s all metadata with image files, it has nothing to do with uploading photos, generating thumbnails, etc. I’m not saying writing a plugin to make those connections is easy, but it would be easier than writing an entire gallery/photo app from scratch.
I’ve tested several gallery scripts. I needed something that could handle upload of raw photos. NextGen came close, but still had some problems. If Buddypress tries to build an entire app into the core, it’s never going to be as solid as NextGen or Zenphoto or other established gallery apps.
Obviously Nextgen and Zenphoto are for single user galleries. That doesn’t make them any less suitable as starting points for a BP plugin. There has been some discussion about Nextgen on the WPMU forums.
This photoblog plugin claims to support WPMU. Not sure what it does. Haven’t tested it.
This is the plugin every WordPress MU or Buddypress admin has been waiting for! Announcing Anti-Splog, the ultimate plugin and service to stop and kill splogs in WPMU.

Andy,
Are you referring to the actual file path? That is a non issue as most WP plugins for cloud/split level management work great with BP.
The issue is where in the database, and HOW in the database it is being stored.
If your saying I can MOVE the location from the #1 blog with a filter I havent found please let me know.
Also if I can choose which fields it uses to store them would be usefull, I have looked in WP upload and your avatar script and it seems hard coded into the users blog directory, which in all BP users case is blog #1 first.
Take a look at this.
I really don’t recommend building in a php framework into a existing cms, it could cause a lot of issues.
Hey friends,
i´m searching for a good chat plugin, which allows users to chat together like in facebook. i´ve seached a lot but i did not found something amazing for me.
i found something but it was not downloadable yet
for example
http://www.duanestorey.com/blog/blogging/lazy-weekend-buddypress/comment-page-1/
Add Facebook-like Chat to your Website with the jQuery Chat Module
i tested the ajax chat plugin from
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-ajax-chat/
but the problem was when it was activated, my widgets doesn´t do well.
Do somebody know a good chat plugin?
1. A buddypress theme isn’t so different from a standard wordpress theme, it just has a few extras.
2. Not sure what you mean by this, you have to install bp on wpmu, you can’t install them seperately. Bp is a plugin for wpmu.
3. Once installed bp correctly on wpmu or just wp, you get profiles, activities, groups etc.
Do you really understand what wpmu is? Basically its standard wordpress, but allows you or your users to make multiple blogs on one wordpress install. Buddypress allows you to turn your main blog into a social community, by adding profile and frieding options and the earlier named options.
@osasko, do you use the email login plugin? You can’t get rid of the username entirely, because WordPress is built around it, but you can autogenerate a username and hide the input field on register.php by adding type=”hidden”. It’s an ugly hack…
So I was having the problem with this on the single blog version of wordpress but not the multi user version on the same server. Then on the same server I created a brand new install of wordpress and buddypress and got it working there. I eventually found that the upload path that worked had /var/www/vhosts/url/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads but the one that did not work had just wp-content/uploads. once i changed this everything worked.
Jump in already. I’m not a programmer and the water is fine. Although BP’s Codex is a work in progress, things work the same as in wordpress which has a detailed (if disorganized) Codex. Learning Loops, hooks and php functions is enough to get started. Pick up Ajax/Jquery later.
I bought some books to help me, but you may not need them. There’s a BP book coming soon, which should help. You could probably develop something quickly, but it’ll take some time to understand how it actually works.
Here’s a tutorial for setting up XAMPP and WordPress:
http://sixrevisions.com/tutorials/web-development-tutorials/using-xampp-for-local-wordpress-theme-development/
If you’re not planning on using member blogs, this tutorial should get you up and running with WordPress. Then all you need to do is install BuddyPress.
Simple plugins that leverage established, mature gallery apps would prevent much of those upgrade dilemmas. Let Zenphoto and NextGen handle upload, compression, database storage, gallery creation, etc. The BP plugins then only have to provide ways to display images stored by those apps within the BP context.
That is the open source approach. What Djsteve suggests is the proprietary commercial software approach. Nothing wrong with that, but Boonex and SocialEngine are already doing that. If that’s what you want, expect to pay.
Personally I chose WP/BP because I want to be able to mix and mash scripts. Built-in forums, galleries, event management, etc. only make that harder.
I’ve searched and searched and although it seems simple maybe it’s just not possible but:
I have a plugin that gets the ids of specific users and puts them in an array. I want to use the array to get the link to their profile page, but only for these ids. It operates on a post page with no BP loops.
How?
For example, I’m using this to get the avatar from wordpress, but BP tags don’t seem to work the same, unless I’m somewhere outside the loop that I shouldn’t be.
foreach ($users as $user) {
echo get_avatar($user);
}
Hi again.
Just letting everyone know that the latest version of the plugin is now on the site. Various issues have been fixed, including:
CSS issues for the edit buttons/etc on pages
Wordpress image edit plugin for tinymce now implemented (still a few css issues there though)
Wiki ‘blogs’ appearing where they shouldn’t is fixed
Lots of other stuff I’ve forgotten or not aware of because Stuart/Ryo have fixed
I’ve also added support for wiki edits and wiki comments in the activity stream filters.
I doubt the plugin will be released this week but I’m hoping for early next week. Once again, any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Hi all!
It took me 3 weeks to get my head around 1.1.3 (php is still a foreign language to me…). Now I’m trying to figure things out in 1.2 (lots of changes). One thing that’s got me stumped so far is adding content above the activity stream (or blog posts) on the home page.
I’ve found this tutorial on widgetizing pages (http://wpmu.org/how-to-widgetize-a-page-post-header-or-any-other-template-in-wordpress/) but I’m not quite sure if that’s the way to do it.
Any suggestions?
When you upgrade to BP 1.2, you can use the BP backwards compatibility plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-backwards-compatibility/
That will probably be the easiest way to keep your template tags.
