http://graduatebuddy.com/ uses WordPress MU 2.8.2, BuddyPress 1.0.3, bbPress 1.0
comment system needs to be improved, had to go to 9th page to post this comment, there should be a link somewhere of the top of first page, and the from should be at the bottom of every page intensedebate if could be made compatible would be a great plus
now the BuddyPress install:
http://graduatebuddy.com/
it uses a wordpress MU 2.8.2 , BuddyPress 1.0.3, bbPress 1.0
add_submenu_page( 'bp-core.php', __( 'Classifieds Setup', 'classifieds' ), __( 'Classifieds Setup', 'classifieds' ), 2, "bp-classifieds", "bp_classifieds_siteadmin_screen" );
gives me the url
http://127.0.0.1/kine/wordpress-mu/wp-admin/bp-classifieds
bp-classifieds.php is my main file and is under /plugins…
You need to ask that question on the Premium WPMU site. It is a 3rd-party project not supported by Automattic.
If you want a free multiple database engine, you can use HyperDB. This site runs on HyperDB. WordPress.com runs a highly-modified version of HyperDB.
Here are a series of articles written by Trent Adams, one of the BuddyPress moderators, that detail how to configure HyperDB:

I had a similar issue after upgrading to the latest stable version. Comment link worked in additional blogs not using bp-home theme, but didn’t work on main blog, simply clicked on comment link and got nothing.
Searched forums and this was the second post that was similar to my problem, but none of the solutions fixed it. After a bit of playing I noticed..
In the dashboard there is a check box on the right hand side of the main edit blog admin page in a box called Blog Themes next to: WordPress mu Homepage. After checking this [active] check box, comments worked and were visible after clicking in the main blog..
This may make sense to those suffering the same problem, sorry if its not that clear.
WordPressMU on multi-DB do people use?
Not view blog in multi-DB conf.

I have this one on my plugin list and I have it activated sitewide but when I go to the ‘Invite Friends’ page and check one of the services it comes up without a username/email or password box? I am using version 0.8 of this plugin and Buddypress 1.0.3 and WordPress MU 2.8.2
I have a chat script that I am trying to integrate with buddypress.
It asks me to put the following code into the header of each page, after it’s been edited..
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>
var init_user = "";
/* it defines the user name to login, you can get the user name from session or cookie for example var init_user=<? php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?>; */
var init_password = "";
/* it defines the user password to login, you can get the password from session or cookie for example var init_ password =<? echo php $_SESSION[password]; ?>; if leave the init_password empty, it means login to the web messenger as a guest */
</SCRIPT>
What I can’t figure out is what to put into the
init_user =
init password =
I’m guessing that buddypress/wordpressmu has a function that would be used in place of
<? php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?>
the same goes for
<? echo php $_SESSION[password]; ?>
I have looked in the header code for the home theme, and it seems I needed to look in the userbar.php file which I did for the function or whatever it’s called to use there, but could not find it.
Could someone please assist me?
If it helps the installation instructions I am following are from

thank you
FYI “So, WPMU 2.8.2 with BuddyPress 1.0.3 on localhost on Windows using XAMPP 1.7.1 I have installed GD Star Rating 1.5.7, and activated it site wide. I created 5 test blogs. At this point I was able to test administration panels GDSR adds, thumbs and standard ratings in both posts and comments. I will get to multi sets in the next few days”

Sorry, but I forgot to say that I use WordPress 2.8 and the newest version of BuddyPress
Thanks,

I don’t believe we have any issues with sub domains in that respect. We’ve had users sign up to the site and create blogs at the same time, and the blogs and their sub-domains seem to be created and work just fine. We’ve also manually created blogs (not via buddypress but in WPMU) and those also work just fine.

Here are the plugins we have activated:
– WordPress Video Plugin
– Buddypress
– BPDEV Core
— BPDEV Flickr
— BPDEV YouTube
– Featured Member Widget
David Lewis,
Give the BuddyBar for bbPress plugin a try.
There’s a plugin like this to populate WPMU content, but not one for BuddyPress yet.
Keep your eyes on the “WPMU Demo Data Creator” and see if the author updates his plugin to include BuddyPress.
There’s lots of ways to build bridges between platforms, but no one usually does it until they need to do it themselves.
I’ve never seen ccHost until now, and as powerful as it looks, it really looks like a competing project compared to what WordPress/bbPress/BuddyPress already attempts to do, with the help of plugins of course.
People have built integrated logins for phpBB and vBulletin, so I imagine someone could do this for you too.
Create a page in your MU root blog called “forum” and leave it empty. Right now when the WordPress .htaccess file see’s a redirect to domain.com/forum/ it denies it saying the page doesn’t exist. Creating the page on your MU root blog will satisfy the .htaccess file, and still route to your bbPress installation.
Tricky eh?
Have you created a page in your root MU blog called “forum” by chance? Also, it kind of sucks but because bbPress pretty permalinks use “forum” to tell the URL that you’re clicking a forum, having your URL be domain.com/forum/forum/name-of-forum is the reason why most people install bbPress in “/forums/” or something else like “/support/” or “/discussion/”
What I’m saying is that it might just be that bbPress or WordPress are getting tripped up on what the redirect is, and maybe conflicting somehow?
Burt Adsit made a plugin called bpGroups that was able to consolidate the essential user data, but with recent changes to XMLRPC, BP, and bbPress, my guess is that plugin no longer works as expected.
To be honest, WordPress has never really been “light” if you know what I mean, at least not like bbPress is. If you’re using the BuddyPress Group Forums, then you probably have a lot of userdata already available from previous queries in the loop. If you’re using bbPress only and trying to get specific userdata or xprofile data, that’s going to usually require some expensive queries to pull off; I would look at how bbPress already does it with userdata per post, and see how it’s able to to do it. Chances are it’s already been called or that the userdata has already been grabbed previously. If you don’t use an IDE like netbeans to trace variable values, then try a print_r or var_dump of the user variable in the loop, and see what it gives you.
I have the wordpress MU installation on my main homepage for my domain and I have taken a look at some other sites that have their homepage as a buddypress homepage. How can I do that?
I followed the instructions to activate bbpress forum in groups on this thread: http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/forum-install-some-helping-hints-2/page/5
At the end I disabled and then tried to re-enable bbpress forum component and it will not enable. After I hit save it is back in the disable state.
What do I need to do?
I am using WordPressMU 2.8.2, Buddypress 1.0.3 and bbpress 1.0.1 all fresh installs only one user for admin. I do not have deep integration. I do have cookies working (mostly) between bbpress and wordpress.
Having some issues. Can anyone help? I have the latest version of MU. I tried to upgrade BP, and then the problems started. I am getting a blank page when going to wp-admin. This database does in fact exist, not sure what I need to do. Here is the error log:
[26-Jul-2009 17:00:53] WordPress database error Table ’exbriefc_profiles.wp_1_terms’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT t.*, tt.* FROM wp_1_terms AS t INNER JOIN wp_1_term_taxonomy AS tt ON t.term_id = tt.term_id WHERE tt.taxonomy IN (’link_category’) AND tt.count > 0 ORDER BY t.name ASC made by require, require_once, include, get_sidebar, locate_template, load_template, require_once, wp_list_bookmarks, get_terms
So guess what fixed it?
I changed the folder where WordPress mu was installed from /blogs/ to /blog/ and now it works Ok.
If I had installed it in the root directory there would have been no problems.
But look at what the WordPress mu installation instructions say…
“If you want to have your WordPress MU installation in its own subdirectory on your web site (e.g. http://example.com/blogs/), rename the directory wordpressmu to the name you’d like the subdirectory to have and move or upload it to your web server. For example if you want the WordPress MU installation in a subdirectory called “blog”, you should rename the directory called “wordpressmu” to “blog” and upload it to the root directory of your web server.”
Notice their first “example” is /blogs/’ and then in their second example they just say /blog/. I went with the first reference because I liked it better.
The BuddyPress documentation just says get WordPress mu working and then BuddyPress will work. I never saw anywhere that it said, “Oh, by the way…just don’t install it in a subfolder called /blogs/ or it will get confused by the redirects we do in /members/blogs/ and it won’t work so don’t do that.”
I’m being sarcastic. This is probably a bug or an unforseen situation (really?) but anyway, whether or not this would have affected anyone else it is what fixed it for me.
So…I re-installed and when it was just WordPress mu without BuddyPress it works. The page for creating blogs is /blogs/wp-signup.
I could add users and those users could go to that page and create a blog.
So I re-enabled BuddyPress and it went back to sending them to /blogs/members/username/blogs/create-a-blog as the address on all of the links to create the blog but when you click on (or even type it directly into the browser) you always end up at just /blogs/members/username no matter what. It’s being redirected for some unknown reason.
Is this not ringing any bells for anyone on what this problem might be?
It would be best for wordpress mu if it was installed in the document root. As in not the /blogs/ but directly.
