Wordpress /buddypress does not do anything special to images.By default the avatars are saved as square(same height and width),so if you keep the ratio,the image looks good as it gets scaled down by css,otherwise say you make the height and width different ,It gets stretched.just for clarification

hi there

well,so your subdomain style issue is solved.

For the random non existing subdomain behavior is expected by wpmu.since you are using buddypress default theme ,so you will not be able to see wp-signup.php and it is one of the most discussed topic here in forum.just search it.

If you are trying to create forums (as you may be thinking of standalone forum in bbpress),this is not implemented in that way in buddypress.In buddypress ,the bbpress (internal integration) is used for creating forums with groups and they do not have a separate admin.You can enable forum from group admin screen for a particular group.

As far as I know and my experiences with shared hosting,you won’t be able to install wordpress mu on addon domains.If you are able to install wpmu on addon domain ,then buddypress should work without any problem.

@Xevo.. that’s true.. But it seems that wordpress/buddypress does something special when you resize using .css.. the avatar actually gets loaded in the size you specify in the .css… if you view the image it’s the same size (so not the original size of the image which gives bad results quality/data wise)

Should be fixed.

I should just remind myself to check this site each time I need something…

Andy,

Looking at the codex, it appears you’re missing an add_action.

Change the first five lines of your plugin to:

/* Schedule an event that will update all external blog feeds twice daily. */

function bp_groupblogs_on_activation() {

wp_schedule_event( time(), 'twicedaily', 'bp_groupblogs_action' );

}

register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'bp_groupblogs_on_activation' );

add_action('bp_groupblogs_action','bp_groupblogs_update_all_feeds');

This is untested, not sure if it will work.

MrMaz, if you need help getting your plugin i18n friendly, let me know, I’m happy to kick through the code and clean it up.

Basically just make sure all of your text uses a textdomain like “bp-links” or “buddypress-links” then use a program like po-edit to comb through the source folder and it will sniff the strings and compile them into the po/mo/pot file.

Textdomains are important because if you use “buddypress” for your textdomain, and the buddypress-en_US.po/mo file doesn’t have a translation for it, it won’t get translated. It’s important to use your own. The only reason NOT to use your own is if the string matches EXACTLY the BuddyPress or WordPress strings already.

No, it’s not (yet) possible to install buddypress on a stand-alone wordpress.

As for your error, http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web%20Search/thread?tid=4e84e4e6730f9421&hl=en

Instead of going through all that work, I’d use the Widget Logic plugin and use “!if_user_logged_in()” to show the Welcome Widget only when a user isn’t logged in.

Just a thought…
