Installed the plug-in, it’s looking good! I’ll post results after I’ve done some testing.
Question: I want to create a widget just like the wordpress calender: http://www.sajidmc.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/screenshot-1.png
but than for the events. Any idea’s how I can do this quickly?
I know how to script, but don’t know where to start with this.
You could also try some WP plugins that add additional hidden, input fields to the registration form:
-Invisible Defender – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invisible-defender/
-NoSpamNX – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nospamnx/
Chances are a spam bot will fill these input fields in, and thus these plugins will block these submissions.

I’ve been meaning to give this a shot, but I haven’t tried it yet because I don’t need the extra layer of protection (right now anyway)!
Not sure if everyone knew this, but wordpress.org uses BuddyPress now!

Sorry guys, was in the hospital for the last few days, really sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the detailed reply, r-a-y. Was very helpful.
Thanks again 
Dear All,
I’m using wordPress MU 2.8.4. and Buddypress 1.0.3.
In the member widget there are two way to open the member page: clicking on member avatar or clicking in member username.
If I click on avatar I have this right URL http://domain.com/members/username/.
If I click on username I have this wrong URL http://domain.com/username/ and I have an error (something like this page does not exist).
I think it’s simple to correct this widget error, but I have no idea wich is the related php file.
Thank you
tray this deep integration script instead, this should fix your problem.
if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) & !defined( ‘XMLRPC_REQUEST’ )) {
define( ‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false );
include_once( ‘/your/absolute/path/to/wordpress/wp-config.php’ );
$wp->init();
$wp->register_globals();

A lot depends on 1111 and 1107.
It introduces ‘force_ssl_content’ and I think everything under the sun can use it.
If 1111 goes through you might as well add ‘Securing Buddypress’ to the roadmap, let R-A-Y, the gang and myself loose on this task.
@chargertech – When bp 1.1 final is released I will reinstall it on my system and go to town trying to figure it all out.
Who knows, maybe Andy or someone will chime in someday and give us an example as to how to apply user filters to activity streams and listings.
I’ve still got to guess that they already have something even better up their sleeves. With automatic behind buddypress, one has to figure that they plan on adding it to wordpress.com someday, which would require this type of functionality.

WordPress blog since 2006, bbPress forum added in 2008, and now a BuddyPress community. To start with we’re only using extended profiles and private messaging, but will layer in additional features over time.
Very grateful for the powerful platform that Andy and team have created, and for the great support offered by Burt, JJJ, Jeff and all the others on the forum.
Blog Page shows custom sidebar. (I edited /directories/blogs/index.php)
Members Page shows custom sidebar.(I edited /directories/members/index.php)
Groups Page shows custom sidebar. (I edited /directories/groups/index.php)
Events Page does not. (I edited /directories/events/index.php)
I edited all four files the same way but Events is the only way that doesn’t show
This is the plugin

Hi,
I’m new to buddypress. I’ve installed WordPress MU 2.8.1 myself and added buddypress 1.0.3 as a plugin and tried the WordPress MU + buddypress-package by buddypress.de several times (which includes the same components), but after the installation it’s alaways the same problem, there aren’t any profile fields.
When I try to edit my profile it says “That group does not exist” and looks like this:
http://amai.schildmaid.de/buddypress_forum_01.jpg
In the backend it says under “Profile Fields Setup”, that I have no groups and when I try to add one “There was an error saving the group. Please try again”
http://amai.schildmaid.de/buddypress_forum_02.jpg
http://amai.schildmaid.de/buddypress_forum_03.jpg
Is something wrong with my installation or do I not get how to do it?
I’d appreciate some help, thanks a lot.
Edit: I just saw there are more things not working: I can’t send messages or add freinds. Even though I can add new blogs they do not appear in the blog-list of a user. I found someone with similar problems here: http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/cannot-create-group-edit-profile-add-as-friend-or-post-to-wire
As I read your post, you have an old forum you want “into” BuddyPress. BP or WordPress MU aren’t forums. BuddyPress’ forum components are provided by BBPress.
If you want to import things differently, you need to write your post in more detail and even then I doubt there’s any easy solution
WPMU places restrictions on certain tags like [embed] and [object].
Try installing the Unfiltered MU plugin and then attempt to embed your SWF.
[posted this on the bbPress forum, but no traction there]
I have bbPress 1.0.2 and WPMU 2.8.4a (+ BP 1.03) with deep integration (I call wp-blog-header.php in ‘bb-config.php’).
All of the forum RSS feeds work, except the top level feed of all new posts across the forum: <site URL>/<forum name>/rss/
This is true for FF, IE and Safari.
In IE, I see the error:
Invalid xml declaration.
Line: 13 Character: 3
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Viewing the source, it looks like WPMU is inserting an XML header above the bbPress XML header:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!-- generator="WordPress/2.8.4" -->
<rss version="0.92">
<channel>
<title>[SITE NAME] » Page not found</title>
<link>[SITE URL]</link>
<description>Just another [SITE NAME] weblog</description>
<lastBuildDate>Sun, 06 Sep 2009 14:07:54 +0000</lastBuildDate>
<docs>http://backend.userland.com/rss092</docs>
<language>en</language>
</channel>
</rss>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- generator="bbPress/1.0.2" -->
ETC...
Does anyone else have this issue?
I have repo’d something very similar on a previous version of the site that is using WPMU 2.2. Any suggestions much appreciated.
Diego, think of the BP Member template as a starter template (like how the Kubrick template is the starter template for WordPress!).
You have to build upon the template to get what you want to achieve.
Added an additional patch and Function for MU.
Would be nice if we could have it…
Will be used for BP as a filter, as shown in trac notes.

Sorry, DJPaul. My goal is to import it into BuddyPress, but I didn’t know if perhaps there was some kind of import plugin like there are for importing other blogs into WordPress.
I don’t know what bbPress is either, but I’ll look it up.
Thanks!
I’ve gotten WordPressMU installed (2.8.4a) and bbPress (1.0.2) installed. When you create a group the forum is creating in bbPress. I can post a topic on the bbPress side and it’ll show up in BuddyPress. When I try creating a new topic or replying to a topic I get that dreaded – “There was an error posting that topic” message.
I’ve made sure I enabled XMLRPC and Pingbacks in bbPress and added that line to my bbPress config. I also use that XMLRPC testing plugin and it returns normal data so it can connect to bbPress via XMLRPC.
Are there any other troubleshooting steps I can take or any ideas of what I might be missing?
Thanks Jeff for the first breakdown, you’re a real help here!
I’m running WPMU 2.8.1 in the root as a directory install. BuddyPress is the last stable version.
I was also thinking it might have something to do with the nonce functions. What can cause something like that? It’ll be a coding error from my side, however I’m not sure where to look.
I modified the skeleton member theme to work with my WordPress theme design. I have not modified any of the core, just added custom functions to the skeleton theme.
– I switched back to the original BP theme, it seems to work correctly there. Where do I have to start looking then?
– Another question, if I started to work with the trac files to modifiy the new theme structure from the scratch, do I have to fear more changes until the launch of 1.1 (just to the theme files?)

Ok, I have update my scripts… now running WordPress MU 2.8.4. & BuddyPress 1.0.3.
I have also managed to change the fullname for the username by adding a filter to bp_user_fullname. But it only works for the profile page. I was hoping to change all the fullname for the username throughout the site. (I find the original bp fullname Vs username system to be very confusing)
Any Suggestions?
@DJPaul: I agree with you DJPaul, and I’m a hardened OSS supporter. If the ‘fees’ are small I feel like it’s more of a donation and I’m ok with them. I would be completely against things if the cost was more. But hey, people are allowed to make money from WordPress and it puts food one many people’s tables.
I can’t answer this whilst I’m at work, but I do recommend that you update your BP to the latest version ASAP. WordPress has itself been hit by a vulnerability in the last week which affects all but the latest version of the software.
The same idea applies to BudyPress too – upgrade frequently.
You are best off looking in the WordPress plugin directory, or searching or asking on the WPMU forums. This is not a BuddyPress. question.
I see that Matt wants a few things to happen:
http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2009/09/07/rss-in-the-clouds/
BP & RSS Cloud?
@Andrea-r – I believe I have the ‘first part’ solved already. That being that each blog has it’s own users. Aaron was kind enough to spend the time building a custom plugin for me that allows users to signup on a subdomain blog without leaving the subdomain. *Aaron rocks!*
This way each subdomain has ‘it’s own’ members, though all members are automatically added to the primary blog and the bp blog behind the scenes. [expect this plugin to be released on the premium dev site sometime soon so everyone can have it]
Now that each ‘blog’ will have it’s own users, I have an idea to attack this problem.
1. As most everything displayed by buddypress is via widgets, I may be able to duplicate the widgets and then write some custom filters to only output what the ‘subdomain blogs’ users have been up to.
e.g. filtering the activity stream to only show activity from the blogs users which is being displayed.
2. for those displays that are not widgets, like the members list/groups list/ etc…
That may take a bit more filtering.
Anyhow, I have to imagine that buddypress is already thinking about this type of stuff already. I personally just can’t see how they can even begin to implement buddypress on wordpress.com type of sites without this ability.
