Is anyone having issues with any conflicts with the Vote it up plugin and buddy links..?
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-featured-members-widget
As far as I know it’s been taken out of WPMU.
Read this, https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/1857.
Sorry, this is the same issue that is bugging me,
1. Is it to say that I redirect the wp signup to register, the problem would be solved?
2. Would it affect the other plugins I have install under wordpress mu?
by the way I am using wpmu 2.8.5a
You can also use the following jQuery technique to put the buddybar in any application: http://teleogistic.net/2009/10/displaying-the-buddypress-admin-bar-in-other-applications/. It’s probably overkill if you’ve only got a single page (since Xevo’s method is so much more straightforward) but it’s nice if you’re trying to integrate another entire program.
Oh that might be just what I need! Thanks!!
A long while ago, Burt Adsit wrote https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-community-blogs/ . I still use this plugin although I couldn’t tell you the last time Burt updated it. he has been awol lately. It still works as it doesn’t appear to be too dependent on the BP framework. For me, I have a blog I use as an “announcements” tool i.e. all registered users can write announcements which get displayed on a widget. So the plugin auto-registers each user to that blog as an “author”. Sounds like this is what you are looking for. Hope this helps.
Found a wpmu function (https://codex.wordpress.org/WPMU_Functions/add_user_to_blog) just now, this does what I need and I believe it would be best too add this into the register.php page, I just don’t know where too place it exactly.
@Bowe
Wordpress /buddypress does not do anything special to images.By default the avatars are saved as square(same height and width),so if you keep the ratio,the image looks good as it gets scaled down by css,otherwise say you make the height and width different ,It gets stretched.just for clarification

Yup, it is resolved with your great help. Thanks a lot. I will try to install WPMU on Add On’ed domain and see how it goes 
Also, is BuddyPress.org using their BuddyPress or just a WordPress? Because this Theme is… Something beautiful 
hi there
well,so your subdomain style issue is solved.
For the random non existing subdomain behavior is expected by wpmu.since you are using buddypress default theme ,so you will not be able to see wp-signup.php and it is one of the most discussed topic here in forum.just search it.
If you are trying to create forums (as you may be thinking of standalone forum in bbpress),this is not implemented in that way in buddypress.In buddypress ,the bbpress (internal integration) is used for creating forums with groups and they do not have a separate admin.You can enable forum from group admin screen for a particular group.
As far as I know and my experiences with shared hosting,you won’t be able to install wordpress mu on addon domains.If you are able to install wpmu on addon domain ,then buddypress should work without any problem.
@Xevo.. that’s true.. But it seems that wordpress/buddypress does something special when you resize using .css.. the avatar actually gets loaded in the size you specify in the .css… if you view the image it’s the same size (so not the original size of the image which gives bad results quality/data wise)
Andy,
Looking at the codex, it appears you’re missing an add_action.
Change the first five lines of your plugin to:
/* Schedule an event that will update all external blog feeds twice daily. */
function bp_groupblogs_on_activation() {
wp_schedule_event( time(), 'twicedaily', 'bp_groupblogs_action' );
}
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'bp_groupblogs_on_activation' );
add_action('bp_groupblogs_action','bp_groupblogs_update_all_feeds');
This is untested, not sure if it will work.
JJJ,
I read your post about i18n, and followed it to the letter Thank you for saving me the leg work.
Every string is already in the text domain ‘buddypress-links’ (great minds think alike). I guess it must be up to the translators to use their translation tools in a way that avoids duplicate work, because it seems like a tall order for a plugin developer to monitor which strings are duplicates and constantly add and remove strings from their custom domain as the parent plugin changes (in this case BuddyPress and WordPress).
I really need to read up on this, lol.

MrMaz, if you need help getting your plugin i18n friendly, let me know, I’m happy to kick through the code and clean it up.
Basically just make sure all of your text uses a textdomain like “bp-links” or “buddypress-links” then use a program like po-edit to comb through the source folder and it will sniff the strings and compile them into the po/mo/pot file.
Textdomains are important because if you use “buddypress” for your textdomain, and the buddypress-en_US.po/mo file doesn’t have a translation for it, it won’t get translated. It’s important to use your own. The only reason NOT to use your own is if the string matches EXACTLY the BuddyPress or WordPress strings already.
@r-a-y:
Originally this plugin was inspired by social bookmarking and news sharing from more of an editorial standpoint than an automated one. There are many WordPress plugins that handle external RSS feeds, so I am curious what it is about Links that makes you want to use it for slurping RSS?
@Bowe: Thanks, I put a ton of work into it!
@ Erich73: Originally I had that idea, but my site has 100s of groups and I could not come up with an easy way to quickly select which group(s) to associate with the link. In the future I plan to add a feature where you can “tag” a link with a group so they it can be associated in that way. Either way, I have plans for a lot of Link/Group/Forum synergy.
@Chouf1: According to the WordPress.org docs a .pot file is supposed to be generated automatically, but I appears that it wasn’t. I will make sure there is a .pot file in the next release. In the meantime if you want to generate your own, the text domain is ‘buddypress-links’
Thanks for the feedback everybody!
No, it’s not (yet) possible to install buddypress on a stand-alone wordpress.
As for your error, http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web%20Search/thread?tid=4e84e4e6730f9421&hl=en
Hi guys,
Thanks for the help but,
1. I have no other plugins installed – this is a fresh install of wordpress mu with only the buddypress plugin installed and activated. Also when I disable buddypress, the site works once again.
2. I’m using an Israeli host called spd.co.il I’m contacting it to see if there is a problem on their side (also to check what the error they receive if any).
3. On chrome I am getting the following error : error 324(net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): unknown error). Which doesn’t really help 
Also, I’m interested in the buddypress community functionality (and not really in the multiblog platform) if there is a way of activating buddypress on a regular wordpress (which will be less of a hassle) thats just great, but from what I can understand this is not possible.
Instead of going through all that work, I’d use the Widget Logic plugin and use “!if_user_logged_in()” to show the Welcome Widget only when a user isn’t logged in.
Just a thought…
It’s not impossible, paisano! (sorry I’m in a Super Mario Bros phase – circa Lou Albano)
Check out this blog post by Adam:

Hope that helps!
It isn’t that the directory needs to physically exist, because just like WordPress, all permalinks are virtual pointers to PHP interpreted code.
When you’re talking about notifications, are you talking about the emails you receive? Or are you talking about the actual Notifications screen in BuddyPress?
If you’re talking about the later, then it means your plugins_template.php file is missing from the root of your parent theme. BuddyPress still uses that file as a generic pointer for the settings pages to use, since they do not have their own specific template files at this point in time.
