Great work! I haven’t had the time for a detailed test, but i have some short feadback for the beginning:
1. Everything works fine and seems logical. Thats great. There could be some front-end twaeks, but i will come back later next week with some more detailed ideas and mockups.
2. From our experience it is great to have advanced edit functions but hide them in a second row from the avarage user (like the wordpress backend editor does). For a wiki article the user (students) should focus on the content instead of any fancy formating. Basic options could be a select-box for h1, h2, h3 (this is important and must be easy accessible, because it will build the toc and people should get used to it) bold, italic, url link, unordered list, and numberd list. Everything else could go in a second or third row which appears if you click some “advanced options” button.
3. (future release) A searchable wiki directory page with all public pages.
4. (future release) “Suggest a wiki page” button so that non admin-members could ask the admin to create a new wiki page for them.
5. (future release) non-admin wiki page creation
@dwakabayashi, where can we get your BP plugins?
“you will have a merge script to port any existing installation to the new structure,”
Just a minor correction: in 3.0 you just upgrade. That’s it.
There were tow conversations going on about needing a script, one was in regard to making wp 3 have multiple blogs. This happens now in trunk via switching on an option. (way cool btw)
The other conversation about needing a script, was referring to people who had multiple single WP installs and wanted to merge them into one wp 3 install.
So – if you start now with BP on MU or on WP, when 3.0 comes out, you upgrade as usual.
And it’s WordPress 3.0. 
Enrich73, we are working with speaklike and worldwide lexicon on a plug-in that will allow WP blogs to be translated by humans and/or machines.
Of course our work is GPL 
We built all of our work on it.

i have seen wordpress plugins for the sms notifications..like EasySMS plugin which sends new post updates to subscribers…can 1 of those plugins be intergrated with buddypress?
@M, u were workin on a chat plugin.is it ready yet? could you possibly work on this?
Does this WPtouch iPhone Theme work with BP? Has anyone tested iPhone plugins with BP?
I don’t have an iPhone myself. Not sure how reliable the online emulators are. If you have a custom theme it probably becomes a mess, right?
New site, just getting underway:
http://www.homerecordingcommunity.com/
To make the mp3 link directory I combined http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-links/ with http://wpaudio.com/ to make the links playable.
If anyone knows of a way for people to upload mp3’s into Buddypress, I’d love to hear it.
@DCCartwright – i think it’s a winner. I think you’ll find a lot of interest in this… Folks have hacked it (mediawiki) together in various ways..and you might benefit from a team effort with some of these guys that have done so.
Just to clarify – you should not be moving any themes from the BuddyPress directory. From WordPress 2.9 onwards the themes will be automatically detected in the BuddyPress plugin folder. You can simply create a new child theme in wp-content/themes and it will automatically know that the parent is in the BuddyPress plugin folder.
Mike: Not sure why you want to remove the custom header functions? They simply provide a UI to uploading a custom header image in Appearance > Custom Header.
Hi all,
Thanks to BuddyPress and WordPress MU, we have been able to go develop the Social Network for Gamers – http://gameserfs.com/

Hi,
I am looking to build my new website around wordpress and buddy press and I wanted to know if it was possible to have user login/create a new account with a different purpose.
For example: I am running an online radio station and i want to have my DJ’s set as the most important user accounts. Then i want to have Fans and their profiles are different from the DJ’s and finally i want to have a profile specificly geared towards Bands. So a total of three different types of profiles and I want them all to interact inside my little community.
Is this at all possible and if not is there anyone i can talk to about having this made for me?
Thanks!
BuddyPress 1.2 is still in development – you can download either by
SVN – svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk OR you might prefer
Zip file near bottom of page – https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk
As for widgetizing sidebars, it is not BuddyPress-related but basic WordPress function. When your user creates a blog, he/she can choose whatever theme you’ve uploaded to your WPMU installation. Just make sure the sidebars of those themes are widgetized or are “dynamic sidebars” and your users can change widgets via their own dashboards at Appearance > Widgets.
This is basic WordPress, see https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags and click on the link to the specific template tag you’ll need to add.
e.g. if you want a list of categories on your sidebar, you click on wp_list_categories link and you get this basic template tag, <?php wp_list_categories( ); ?>, and you add arguments per page I linked to.
1. WordPress MU 2.8.6
2. Directory
3. Root
4. Yes, 2.8.4 I believe
5. Yes
6. 1.1.3
7. 1.1.2
8. Yes, a lot, however they were installed previously
9. Customised
10. Slightly in regards to avatars not working
11. no
12. bbPress built-in
13. Few errors but nothing that I believe relates
14. Hostmonster
Hello,
can somebody explain me the different to use WordPress rather than WordPress MU with the new 1.2 version? Thanks.
Hiya,
I’m using a copy of bp-default that I call bp-default-members. I also copied bp-sn-parent and modified style.css so that the theme uses bp-sn-parent-members.
I see where the sidebars are registered in functions.php, and I’ve looked through sidebar.php, and what I’d like to know is:
Where do I put the code to hardcode each sidebar? Which file?
If it’s sidebar.php, can you give me a code example of, for example, listing categories in the ‘second-section’
I found:
<li id=”categories”><?php _e(‘Categories:’); ?>
…now…where do I put it, and how do I specify which sidebar it goes into?

What happens to user blogs function we have on buddypress, if buddypress (1.2) is installed on single version (wordpress.org) not wpmu?
Does anybody know?
@Peter: WordPress is the same. If you want to do something that it doesn’t do by default you have to dig into the Codex and forums and figure out a little bit of PHP. The only changes you can make with “some html/css” are visual changes. No matter what the software is. If you take a look through the WordPress.org forums you will find thousands of posts with people discussing code, php, template tags, action hooks, custom queries, arrays. And WordPress plugins break after updates too. All the time.
Sorry… what was the original question again? Oh yah… different user types. I guess that has already been answered above… as best as it can be. Topic has been marked as “resolved” too.
Not so much your theme, but compare the 1.1 default BuddyPress theme http://dangerous-minds.org to the 1.2 theme http://testbp.org/. 1.2 also has the following big features:
Standard WordPress support (not just MU)
Activity stream threaded commenting.
Ability to mark an activity stream item as a favorite.
Activity stream item permalinks.
Advanced activity stream filters.
New default theme with improved usability and customization options
There have been some template tag changes (incl. the template tag loops), I would advise you get a copy of the 1.1 default and 1.2 default theme, look at the changes and apply them to your site. There’s no documentation written yet.
@r-a-y
Two weeks? That’s excellent!
I was a bit worried, because I looked up an old thread about regular WordPress availability and it was from a while ago. Then, apparently, development was going to take longer than they thought – or something like that.
Two weeks. Is that certain?
If you can wait about two weeks, you’ll be able to use BuddyPress on your regular WordPress site!

To create forums, you need to create a group with discussion forum enabled.
I’m thinking about moving my WordPress site to WordPress MU simply for BuddyPress. It’s a gaming site, so the community is really important and I want that to be emphasized. Plus, I’ve seen what can be done thanks to Irrational Games (also using BuddyPress, I’m pretty sure) and it’s gotten me motivated.
So is there an easy to use base theme that I can start building a Buddypress theme off of? I’m not all new to theming, but BuddyPress is foreign to me. The theme on the site I run (http://scrawlfx.com) is custom built by me.
Thanks!

Edit: Also (playing around with my WPMU BuddyPress install) how exactly do you create new forums and what not with the bbPress in BuddyPress?
Oh yeah, I know that’s there, but that is only the Nickname thing from the wordpress.
I was wondering if there as anyway to edit the other fields (stored by wordpress) on the profile page.
