Topic: add activity to the stream?
I have vbulletin completely ‘hooked’ to wordpressmu, so one registration/session/cookie etc. Meaning each system is ‘aware’ of each other, basically they are tied together.
Now since that part is done, wordpress knows that user ‘xyz’ on the wp db, is user ‘xyz’ on the vb database, it’s time to extend it.
What I would like to do is add ‘new’ posts on vbulletin to the activity stream for buddypress.
Can I ask what is the process for adding extra data to the stream?
Are there any ‘hooks’ for the stream, (I’m sure my terminology is all wrong, best guess)

I am almost done with the complete integration of vbulletin to buddypress/mu.
Now when a group is created, a corresponding vbulletin ‘forum’ is created just like in bbpress.
This is why I would like to bring the information into the activity stream and also the group wires.
I’ve even gone so far as to allow a ‘complete vb forum creation’ when creating a new blog. Users can fully manage ‘their own’ vbulletin forum for their own website blog.
Anyhow, any advice is appreciated so that I can pass onto the dev staff. (They know vb inside and out, but do not work with wp at all)
Topic: links not using subdomains
I have installed wordpress-mu to use subdomains instead of directories.
Now the links on the page refer to sub-directories and not subdomains. So if i rollover a username link its shows http://myurl.com/members/username instead of username.myurl.com
if i manually type username.myurl.com the page shows correctly. This also goes for all links for example blogs goes to myurl.com/blogs instead of blog.myurl.com
in my config file vhosts is set to yes.
What else needs to be set to correct this.
Thanks,

bpContents 1.0 alpha 1
Requirements
WordPress MU 2.7.1
BuddyPress 1.0
Demo at: http://ourcommoninterest.org/
Description
bpContents is a sitewide content aggregation and organization tool for BuddyPress.
Features
Member, Group and Blog tagging.
Custom Member, Group and Blog directories. Standard WordPress tag cloud widgets and tag cloud template tags for Members, Groups and Blogs. Enhancements to the member theme by creating a new BP component.
Member Tags:
Each BuddyPress user can create profile tags that represent their interests. Visit My Account > Tags > Edit to create individual user tags. Enter a comma separated list of tags.
Member profiles have been extended to include their individual tags with a user tag cloud visible in each user’s profile – My Account > Profile. A tag cloud is visible in the option’s bar that represents that particular user’s tags.
The BP Member directory has been extended to include a site wide member tag cloud. Selecting a tag from the site wide cloud, displays all members with a similar tag in the directory. The directory functions as a normal member directory with letter selection and search active. The default BP directory was hijacked with one of Andy’s filters and the directory in /oci-contents/directories/members is displayed instead. The new tagging features in the directory were implemented by extending the default member template class and creating a new oci_has_site_members() template tag to fire up the extended template class.
A widget for sitewide Member Tags is distributed with bpContents. Activate it in the normal sidebar widget fashion through the wp back end Appearance > Widgets > Member Tags. The wp widget directs tag clicks to the bp member directory.
Group Tags:
Each BP Group can create individual tags to allow easier discovery. Any Group admin or moderator can create group tags by going to the group home page Groups > My Group > Tags.
The Group home has been extended with an individual group tag cloud visible in a similar place as the Member tags in the profile. Groups > My Group > Home.
The Group directory has been enhanced the same way as the Member directory.
A widget for sitewide Group Tags is distributed.
Blog Tags:
Each blog in a wpmu installation can be tagged through the blog’s Blog Tags widget. Visit Appearance > Widgets > Blog Tags.
There is an additional option in the Blog Tags widget for tags. Enter a comma seperated list of tag names to tag each individual blog. You do not have to actively display each blog’s Blog Tag widget. However you must use the blog widget on each blog at least once to create the tags for that blog. You can then uninstal the widget if you prefer not to display it. You just have to get those tags in there once by using it once and saving the widget. If you are not actively displaying a blog’s tag widget you’ll have to activate it temporarily to change the blog tags.
The BP Blog directory has been hijacked like the other directories. It displays a sitewide blog tag cloud and it functions as a normal directory also.
Installation:
1) unzip the bpcontents.zip file into /wp-contents/plugins/oci-contents
2) Copy the template directory /wp-content/plugins/oci-contents/oci-contents to the member theme directory:
/wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/oci-content
That directory should be at the same level as /bpmember/groups and /bpmember/profile etc..
2) activate the plugin site wide
Activating the plugin creates four new tables in the wpmu db.
oci_tree
oci_terms
oci_items
oci_tree_meta
Have fun, be good. ~ Burt

P.S. If you were running bpContents 0.1x Dev Sneak Peek previously, drop all the oci_ tables and then activate 1.0 Alpha 1.
I’m running WordPress MU 2.7.1 on a HostGator server.
I’ve installed BuddyPress, all was working perfectly. (latest version… downloaded a couple of days ago.
I then attempted to install BBPress for forum functionality. Had to do a few workarounds, and can’t even remember exactly what I did to get it to work, but I could log in with same username and password on either the BBPress install or the BuddyPress install, so whatever I did, it worked.
My trouble started when I visited my MU admin section at http://twitterwatchdog.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-core.php and chose the “Mystery Man” avatar to be displayed for those who didn’t upload their own pic.
At that point, a visit back to http://twitterwatchdog.com/members/ suddenly yielded an error message saying I don’t have any BuddyPress Themes installed.
Long story short, they are. They are installed, and were working up until I hit the save settings button on the General Settings page of BuddyPress. Now, it’s asking me to choose between my standard themes on my site (those in wp-content/themes) and I know those won’t work.
Can someone tell me where to even START looking for the cause of this problem?
I’m thinking I need to uninstall the forums, but I don’t have a clue on how to even do that (It’s my first experience with BBPress)
I currently have a content site based on WordPress, and I would like to add a community using Buddypress. How should I do this the best? Should I keep my single WP installation and install WordPress MU and Buddypress separately, or is it best to first transfer my site to WPMU and then install Buddypress?
I want to keep my link structure as it is now, if possible.
Topic: BP Groups and BB sub forums
From previous posts you may recall I am having issues with the BP group forums. After upgrading from RC 1 to RC2 forum posts stopped showing up in the site wide widget. I have downgraded, upgraded, reinstalled, and pulled my hair out, but I think I am closer to finding the problem.
In RC1 group forums were created as their own forum in BB Press. Now in 1.0 new forums are being created as children of the first forum created during installation. Why is this and is it supposed to be this way? If it is not supposed to be this way. How to I change it?
