SVN aka Subversion is a program that is installed on your host so that you can install programs that have their code repositories online easily. Any program (terminal on mac, putty on windows) can connect to your server through SSH. I don\’t know of anyway of installing SVN versions without SSH.
For example, if you have an install like /var/www/html/ for an install, and wanted WPMU as the root domain in that folder, you would do something like the following:
svn co http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7/ /var/www/html/
then if you wanted to install buddypress from SVN into your WPMU install:
svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/ /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/
That just installs everything in the /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/ folder like the latest SVN requires. It doesn\’t mean you are finished. You still have to read the README file about the specifics, especially copying the themes to the correct locations. Reason I say this is because at this point, it would be like having all files including the buddypress themes in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/ which obviously isn’t complete. Imagine at this point you downloaded BP and just uploaded the entire thing to that location. It is a matter of copying around the themes to where they are supposed to be.

This is just not the way that WordPress MU works. Buddypress is a plugin for WordPress MU and therefore uses the standard functions that WPMU provides to store and retrieve custom database information.
It’s that exact .jpg above as to why I even got interested in buddypress in the first place. It looked very similar to another program I use, only cleaner.
Needless to say I was more than a little dismayed to find out it is not included in buddypress. I sure wish I knew what happened to that file as I would have loved to use it for my ‘basic’ members. I could then provide ‘real’ themes for premium members.
Another nice aspect to that layout is it’s hard to mess up or not understand for a newbie wordpress user.
Add me to the list of those that really wish it would be released, especially since that theme is now depreciated compared to the new theme on this site.
I only want real full names in my site. I want to eliminate the anonymous \”username\” as much as possible.
This excellent plugin makes it possible to login with just email address and password, but you still get that stupid username in activation emails etc. At the moment I\’m struggling to find out how to replace it.
Just my 2 cents. Please don’t make Buddypress entirely username centric. They’re childish…
Okay, I meant the current trunk.
In the earlier trunk I had categorie list, like thsi one:
http://testbp.org/groups
I tested long and short group descriptions. Whe I had a long description, the text (Group description) was automatically cropped and only the first few lines were displayed. Similiar to the excerpt funcrion from WordPress.
After the cropped text, I got brackets [..] displayed. Now, in the new trunk, the whole description gets displayed. Even if it has about 100 lines.
So waht can I do, to get the group description text cropped after x lines?
I guess I need the exact opposite. I only want full real names in the site, if possible entered as seperate first name + last name at sign-up.
I just reinstallend WordPress MU+Buddypress and now when I sign up test users, only the user_login gets copied to the display_name field in wp_users.
How can I force it to put the real full name in display_name?

and @apeatling of https://apeatling.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/blog.jpg
is there a downloadable way to do what you guys have done and make it the default for user blogs (no user set up required, just automatic)?
Can you guys make your user templates available to the BuddyPress community?
Best,
Dainis
When i install the plugin, evrything seems to work as is ment to be ..
But, i get this error:
Warning: Missing argument 5 for fbc_get_avatar() in /home/world4583/domains/wordpress-blog.nl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-fbconnect/wp-facebookconnect/fbconnect.php on line 528
Any idea on what it is ?
And there is a plugin for wordpress to makes these activities do I need?
Because I need to do that “community integrated” with some urgency, and don’t I know if you have estimates of when the BP will be distributed to the WP?
Hi,
Currently when users register, they get a mail with signature that says
–The WordPress team
My Site Name
Now, how do I customize this?
OR wait! Is this a WPMU question?
You see. What I want to do tho is keep my wordpress blog intact. With that theme that it has right now and what not. And to have, as another “website” yet integrated with my wordpress blog, my socialnetwork section. So with the buddypress thing, I can have my other kind of theme, yet if people use their accounts from buddypress to comment on my original wordpress blog, it will still be connected..they will still be able to see it on their activity.
Is there any way tho, that I dont know if it will help with what he is asking but, to use a wordpress MU and Buddypress….aka set up buddypress on a different directory…and still be able to integrate it with the normal wordpress? What I mean is…SO that when people use their budypress accoutns, they can comment on a post from the normal wordpress and it will appear in their activity?
It is possible, to integrate bbPress + WordPress (MU), i did it my self already 
And take a look @ Burtadsit .. You still need WPMU for right now, to run BuddyPress …
I don’t get it I am lost… What do I install?
Do I install the latest trunk for mu below???????
http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/changeset/1728/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip
And install the latest buddypress below?????
http://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/1324/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip
And now do I put the plugins in the plugins folder instead of the mu-plugins folder?????
And won’t that give all the users on mu the same plugins???????
What happened?????????
Thanks for your help
Alright I tried to fix it but I couldnt….Anyway, the skeleton thing is not working, I try to go to it and it just doesnt show the complete template…Do i have to add both files? Or with one is it good enough? check out what I mean:
http://positiboricua.com/wordpress-mu/members/admin/
There is a little something tho. I would like to cotinue using my wordpress as it currently is. What I mean is I want http://www.positiboricua.com to stay like that. Same theme, everything…Just in case. I am going to search on google tho…see what I can find…
I’ve been running WordPress MU at http://www.freedomblogging.org for some time now (using Dreamhost.com hosting), and recently had to upgrade to MU 2.7.1, which functioned properly after 2 installations.
Yesterday I downloaded Buddypress from the “Download” page – so it was the “RC-1 combo version.”
I’ve followed the installation instructions meticulously through 6 installations and get the same errors over and over again.
The home page functions well, but whenever I click to go to anything besides the traditional WordPress dashboard, I get an error page.
The error says this, replacing xxxxx with whatever page I’m trying to go to, like “members” or “members/admin” or “blogs”:
“Not Found
The requested URL /xxxxx was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”
What is going on and how can I fix it? I’ve been working at this for hours to no avail. Help, please!
Other information: I’m running WordPress MU 2.7.1 with a fully functional Wildcard DNS. I don’t recall setting anything else up for it besides the Wildcard DNS and standard MU installation.
visit wpmu site and google. All the answers are there.
But my blog is already set…how do I transfer all those posts, and the theme and the plug in, and all?
As you can see I have an already established wordpress blog over at http://www.positiboricua.com . My question is, how can I integrate my buddypress network with this blog? What I want is that people can use their buddypress accounts to comment on the blog posts from positiboricua.com ….any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi 2 all, i\’m new here.
My big problem is that i want to link user\’s bp-profile in a wordpress theme. I use the wordpress theme because the home has any news, but i want – for example – that when anyone comment the article, with a click you can go to buddypress profile, and not in the author.php.
I try with this code:
< a href=”< ?php bp_user_link() ?>”>< ?php bp_user_fullname() ?>< /a> (without space after “<“)
The fullname is empty (no results) and the link is at the opened page (as the \”#\”).
I think i must include any files… Anyone can help me??
Thanks so much!
If I was going to use WordPress and bbPress as past examples, no, and don’t bet that it will be anytime soon.
Someone may make a replica, but usually the *Press public themes aren’t available for public use.
That is an old url, due to WordPress naming policies he had to change his domain name, the correct link should now be:
http://bp-dev.org/groups/chat-plug-in
Looks like there was no progress made.
For my site I have just inserted a simple java client for freenode IRC. This allows site members to either use the chat online or with their favorite irc client.
