With regard to the title: “Feature that MUST be included in next version for me..”

I’m in need of event listing. And if we look at how Facebook manage their event list, I think a pseudo-blog would also be a good base to build on. A “blog” that is open to any member to post and comment. The blog post is the event description. The blog custom field can hold specific informations: venue, RSVP, speaker, etc. The category system, tagging, etc. All is perfect, I think. Then we exclude/hide it someway so it’s not considered someone’s blog–to differentiate it with the real blogs.

Anyway, we’re all used to develop WordPress into anything we need aren’t we? 😆

@nicolagreco I think it looks like the same with the earlier version facebook status (without the status comment system)

In the previous revisions, buddypress hold each profile page as blogs. It’s not blog, it’s profile page but use the database structure like a blog. I came here in the end part of that stage of BP. I’m not sure the whole structure behind it.

You are running on windows right? Just a guess. Before installing bp you need to get mu running properly. It’s a pain on windows. What package are you using? WAMP?

To get your subdomains to work you have to edit the ‘hosts’ file in windows for *each* blog you want to have running on your windows box. The hosts file is in:

Windows 95/98/Me c:windowshosts

Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:winntsystem32driversetchosts

Windows XP and Vista c:windowssystem32driversetchosts

Once you find it you have to create a line for each blog so:

127.0.0.1 ourcommoninterest.dev

127.0.0.1 adminstoy.ourcommoninterest.dev

That’s a sample from my laptop which I use to play with new things in mu, buddypress and bbpress. This is only the beginning of your problems on windows. I know I went thru *all* of them.

However, for now, you should replace the domain name with your chosen domain name. Replace the subdomain name with any blog subdomain name you’ve chosen. ‘trial’ in your case.

Try reading up on what it takes to install mu. Then what it takes to install mu on windows. Google finds lots of things related to mu. Here’s a start:

You also need to follow the directions in the mu readme.txt file as it relates to apache.

This seems pretty easy.

Very good interview. Nice to throw out questions in the chatroom.

Thanks Andy. I tuned in at the tail end of things when they were putting chairs on tables and sweeping the floor.

I hope people can understand what I say.

i think that you’ve to ask in wordpress-mu forum, not here..

You might want to check this out:

@gpo1 when you type “Users will be able to upload videos or ‘link’ videos from youtube and similar websites” do you mean embed the videos?

Currently I embed videos in my WordPress sites w/ Vodpod. It works with almost any video hosting site but it’s not the best solution. Have yet to test it on buddypress.

I was part of an online community called the ORG that had a very slick solution. All media was entered into one media entry box. Just by adding the URL to the flickr photo or YouTube video the site took care of seeking out the proper embed code and placed it in the photos gallery or video gallery. No idea how “Support and Comfort” did it but it sure was handy.

I thank you all and the Sports Racers, who have been without a home for almost a year, thank you all for BuddyPress. In the not-too-distant future you will find a gleaming new install of BuddyPress+WordPressµ+bbPress at http://bevvy.org

It’s crudely possible by just setting ‘only user accounts can be created’ in site > options. Then everyone is a ‘subscriber’. mu doesn’t have a variable setting for default user roles. subscribers can only comment on posts. Gonna hafta manually change them to something else.

See: https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2292

for a discussion on this topic.

I wanna do something similar. I want to create a blog for each group at group creation time (optionally). All group members to have author/contributor roles.

Groups are the most important component in bp for me. Groups should have a wire, forum, and blog. And a bowling league. Bowling leagues are important too.

buddypress doesn’t create the blogs. wordpress mu does. Install mu with that option and you’ll get the subidirectory version of mu. I’d check the mu forums and around here before I chose that option though.

This solution lands me back at the standard wordpress branded logged out screen. How do I make it redirect the user to a logged out version of the bp homepage. Also, does this same solution apply for the username/logout area directly below the adming bar on the right side of the page?

You haven’t given us much to go on. You have mu trunk, bp trunk and what version of bbpress? Gotta run 1 alpha 4.

When you try to edit a user profile from bbpress dashboard > users you get the above error? I had problems with bbpress throwing 404s because I hadn’t seen the little link to the needed .htaccess file for bbpress. In case you missed that one its in settings > general > permalinks.

This doesn’t sound like that problem though.

Looks like bbpress is not happy with the info it’s getting about your users. Does mu and bbpress share the same database? If not then you have to point it in the right direction under settings > wordpress integration > show advanced db settings > all that stuff in there.
