“We have spent around three months with the wordpress and bp software. “

I’ve spent three years working with WordPressMU (before it was in beta even) and the job you’re talking about is *huge*. Like others have said.

Tip: start in phases. Pick something basic you can start with then build off that. Even the example given about with the tuts plus network, they started with one blog.

you also have to offer value, and in being different, phrases like “like youtube” don’t help.

Actually that makes more sense than your first post, making multiple services and linking those together is a brilliant idea, I thought you were gonna cramp all of it in one install.

This reminds me of the tuts plus network, what they did is take multiple wordpress intalls and gave every tutorial category their own subdomain ( eg net.tutsplus.com, psd.tutsplus.com etc.). And that network is even part of a bigger network (envato).

Wether it’s possible, I’d say yes, it’s possible. Since your planning on using different servers for all of it.

I read that back in March there had been some talk of BuddyPress for standard WP. But, I guess that didn't pan out. Otherwise, I suppose that may have been a better choice.

It hasn’t happened yet. Once WordPress and WordPress MU merge, then BuddyPress won’t be far behind.

have a look at this plugin.

It should be helpful

This error has been fixed in 1.2.4. The problem was with the introduction of setting a default groupblog theme in the backend. Now we set the default as wordpress would upon installation, so it doesn’t choke when you do not select an initial theme.

We never came across this error, since we already selected a groupblog theme, once you do that you’ll never be able to reproduce that error. If you do, please tell us step by step how to reproduce and what your ‘saved’ settings are in the groupblog wp-admin section.

I believe Andy is waiting for WordPress 2.9 to come out, since that version will have a lot of media related updates. Not sure when it’ll release, but will most likely be very soon.

In the meanwhile you could use kaltura or the buddypress picture album plugin.

Your request will not be responded too btw, the buddypress development theme wont start basing their core on other people’s plugins. If you want something like that, ask the wpmu dev team to create this once it’s build into buddypress.

does the vBulletin integration to WordPress could work with Buddy

“DOES NOT and WILL NEVER support WordPress MU”

I’m not farmiliar with vBulletin, but if your sure 90% of Buddypress will be useless, why not totally use vBulletin (not that I agree with you that buddypress is only good because of it’s groups and forum)?

Hey jimmiejo,

Use TheEasyButton’s most recent tutorial:

http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/07/17/integrating-buddypress-wordpress-mu-and-bbpress/

This worked for me.

the “adminbar” is set inside buddypress/wpmu, you can use ANY WordPress theme and the adminbar will rise.

the theme you show here can be used for a user’s blog, but would require a rewrite if you want to use it as the front page theme… as it does not contain a single buddypress tagged function… but it could be used for it…

Done that, been there. Works brilliantly.

1. Install WPMU.

2. Install Buddypress.

3. Change your keys in wp-config.php.

4. Install bbPress with intergrated settings (make sure you use the new keys you made). Make sure you install it in /forums and not in /forum because buddypress will nicely redirect his own /forums to your newly made bbPress install.

5. When everything works good, use this plugin.

Edit: Btw, if you wanna use buddypress login/profiles you can just use redirects.

Worked a charm for me.

Very nice! How did you get the Feature Content Gallery Working with WordPress MU?
