I’ve been using the alpha’s for 2 months and its been great so far. using sub-folders and actually running bp off of a sub-blog and not the main blog. few bugs..but overall great.

Have you guys tested the fresh installation?

Im about to test this scenario:

1) WP 2.9.x

2) BP install (current state)

3) Upgrade WP to WP3.0b

4) Go to multisite network

5) Refresh BP

Does anybody some strong recomendation (like DONT DO IT ?

for me it works too

The upcoming 1.2.4 release will be tested/fixed to work with WordPress 3.0. Current version is not guaranteed to work.

Found this plugin which says it works under WPMU: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/display-widgets/

Haven’t tested it under BP though…

I’ve been looking for something like this too…from what I can tell in these forums, nothing exists that will work. The plugin is this one https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-member-filter/

But, it doesn’t work with current MU or BP versions.

In theory, this could enable search menus for members by any profile fields…location, profession, hobbies, etc.

The Rate Forum Posts Plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-rate-forum-posts/ does something like this. You would need to tweak it a bit to aggregate the three tiers you are looking for, but it’s a start.

You could use the Custom Profile Filters for Buddypress plugin. I know it’s not exactly what you are looking for, but it would enable you let your users identify themselves in one of your 5 categories, then that word they have selected will become a link that will take them to a page will all of the other users who also selected that category.

Perhaps this plugin will give you the building blocks you need to create the solution you need.

I believe you’ll need to edit the different template pages to have the ads display… I could be wrong on that though. It’s been a while since I’ve played around with it. It may now just require moving some widgets around.

So, your question is really a WPMU question. You should try asking the question on a WPMU support site as it will likely get more response than here.

As for the blog thing – you currently have users with no blogs. If you create a new blog for every user then what default content are you going to put on that blog for the users who have no interest in the blog? Are you going to leave the default Welcome to WP post with the comment from Mr WordPress? As a user, I’d be annoyed by that if there wasn’t some way for me to delete the blog. Oh, yeah, there is a way – don’t automatically create a blog for a user that’s not interested.

But anyhoo, I assume you have asked your user base and this is what they all want so do what you need to do.

Works fine for a single install for me…

Re #3 – if that record is deleted, they can sign up again using the exact same info. That record tho, is never displayed anywhere else.

Really, the mass deletion of spammers shoudl be handled on the WordPress end, as ultimately that’s the menu your’re using.

Without going and checking, I *think* you can sort the blogs/users so the spammers are all on one page, select all and delete all in one go.

For more than a screenful, I do it with a SQL command right in the database.

I have ask my question in other topic but they deleted it.

Anyway, is there a way i could use original wordpress signup page instead of security leaked buddypress signup page?

Please anyone know how to force peopel to signup trough original signup form.

BuddyPress works in a WordPress install – so in the /community/folder there has to be a WP install you’re posting from. It is not a stand-alone script.

Look at the HTML source of the page, it says:

<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.9.2" />

When I go to your main install at the actual root, those menu items on the front of your site are off the root blog.

You have another blog at /community/ as well as BuddyPress. Did you, perchance, install this using SimpleScripts?

No…. if you’re on single WordPress there is only one blog.

When someone updates, that is a blog post, not a “blog”. (misused terminology there)

And yes, you can have a tab that says “blog”. the tabs are just html/css really. they show different Pages created from the backend.

This website (the theme) was designed by Andy Peatling, who works for Automattic – http://automattic.com. This website runs on a platform of WordPress, bbPress and BuddyPress softwares which are led by Automattic but are opensource.

I am going to close this topic as it is off-topic and looks to be commercial.

Can someone give solution that users that wish to sign up dont use buddypress signup page, instead they use regular wordpress signup which is much much safer.

Then all you need to do is install SABRE and spammers are gone. This is urgent request because i dont wish to have spoammers on my sites, same goes for everyone else, i m getting hit by 20 spammers per hour.

BTW nothing mentioned in this topic works!!!!

this are wp/wpmu issues.

I’m with Andy when he says, “Social networking in a box. An easy way to start your own niche social network.”

I remember him essentially saying this when BuddyPress was first added to WordPress and it’s why I came to use BuddyPress myself. Glad to see the vision has stayed the same.

What I do think we need to be careful of is how we define social network. Certainly we can use what’s been learned from Facebook and the like, but the open framework and API should allow for creativity beyond the Facebook definition of social network.
