Topic: Help us… Help you…
Let me introduce to you The Electric Mayhem
:On lead vocals, Andy Peatling: (aka “Dr. Teeth”)
Andy is the founding developer of BuddyPress, and has since taken a break from the limelight to help make the WordPress world a better place.
On the bass guitar is Jeff Sayre: (aka “Sgt. Floyd Pepper”)
That’s right, Jeff’s the one with the camouflage pants on. His specialty is helping you find your way when you’re lost in error messages, white screens, and answering the tough questions. He’s dedicated his time towards making a few nice plugins for BuddyPress, and is a friend of the aliens.
DJPaul isn’t a muppet, he’s a sophisticated machine sent from the future to help you (aka “The Moderator”)
DJPaul fills the gaps in support and development by bringing us additional jQuery, CSS, and XHTML specialties, along with a really good understanding of the BuddyPress project as a whole. He’s made a few popular plugins and has a few really awesome ones currently in development.
On the piano, r-a-y has been added to our mix: (aka “Rowlf the Dog”)
r-a-y has dedicated countless hours into understanding BuddyPress in and out, and openly shares his knowledge with everyone here. Through his hard work and dedication he’s earned the respect of the community, and actively contributes to finding and patching bugs for each new version.
Sax-master Boone B. Gorges, THE MAN: (aka “Zoot”)
Boone is a prolific plugin author and pizza connoisseur. He’s been a committing member of the team since October 2010, and he, more than anyone, wants BuddyPress 1.5 to be done.

That leaves me, on the trumpet, John James Jacoby: (aka “Lips”)
I’m currently the lead developer of BuddyPress. My goal is to take on the tough jobs that will grow the platform as a whole, while somehow managing to fit meals and naps in too. I like to think I’m pretty good at helping with custom BuddyPress themes, complex integration, and all kinds of general odds and ends that aren’t your typical installation. I’d rather play turntables than a trumpet.
We’re your local area dev and moderator team. We’re all you’ve got, and we’re not so bad after we’ve had our coffee.
All of this is leading up to the reason why you’re hopefully reading this topic, and that’s to figure out how to get the most out of the development forums (or just for coffee-talk.) I’m going to high-light a few essential topics here, to get you started with asking questions.
3.) FAQ+
4.) Codex+
By keeping your eyes on the important topics and letting us know what you’re running on, it better helps us to figure out what might be bugging you, and fix it asap….
We all appreciate your enthusiasm and support, and we really enjoy the opportunity to help out in any way that we can!

Any suggestions? TIA!

I’m having difficulty getting BuddyPress to work properly. I’m using WordPress MU 2.7.1 and I installed BuddyPress. I have followed the installation instructions listed under the download section on the buddypress website. The issues I am having is once I login as my user, admin in this case, when I try and access any link listed under the My Account tab, I can’t access it. It shows the path as being /wpmu/members/admin/ but on my webserver there is no directory called members anywhere. I host my own website and I’m trying to add this to it. Its almost like it is suppose to create this by default, but its not creating this path automatically. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Thanks for your help
It’d be nice to open up buddypress to allow for more extensible AJAX calls. I’ve already modified my code base to allow for both server REQUEST methods (POST and GET). I was beating my head against the wall trying to figure out why my JSON request was being ignored.
I needed to make a JSON call across domains (from one WordPress install to another) and found myself unable to access the AJAX functions that I’ve written for my custom Buddypress plugin. I know this probably does some harm to server security and makes the data integrity a little bit more questionable.
Also, it’d be nice to see the dev team get rid of the die(‘0’) statement in the bp-core-ajax-handler.php page. That 0 is a consistent nuisance that I have to strip out with additional and unnecessary javascript code.
I need a developer to help us rewrite/customize the way BP handles URLs/SLUGs
domain.com/members/user
to
domain.com/user
from what I’ve been told, core files would need to be rewritten so that wordpress thinks all urls belong to BP and then if a valid user cannot be found, it gives the URL back to WP
Im hoping a hour or so of your time will allow us to know if this is possible at all…(without breaking blogs, wires, activity, etc) then if it is possible, we would pay you to rewrite these files for us.
if this could be written as a bp-custom.php or plugin, that would be the perfect scenario.. however this may not be possible considering the complexity of the change.. in which case a core hack would be ok
