Sorry guys, was in the hospital for the last few days, really sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the detailed reply, r-a-y. Was very helpful.

A lot depends on 1111 and 1107.

It introduces ‘force_ssl_content’ and I think everything under the sun can use it.

If 1111 goes through you might as well add ‘Securing Buddypress’ to the roadmap, let R-A-Y, the gang and myself loose on this task.

@chargertech – When bp 1.1 final is released I will reinstall it on my system and go to town trying to figure it all out.

Who knows, maybe Andy or someone will chime in someday and give us an example as to how to apply user filters to activity streams and listings.

I’ve still got to guess that they already have something even better up their sleeves. With automatic behind buddypress, one has to figure that they plan on adding it to wordpress.com someday, which would require this type of functionality.

Added an additional patch and Function for MU.

Would be nice if we could have it…

Will be used for BP as a filter, as shown in trac notes.

Thanks, r-a-y. I hope Yuku is nice to me…

Sorry, DJPaul. My goal is to import it into BuddyPress, but I didn’t know if perhaps there was some kind of import plugin like there are for importing other blogs into WordPress.

I don’t know what bbPress is either, but I’ll look it up.

Thanks!

Thanks Jeff for the first breakdown, you’re a real help here!

I’m running WPMU 2.8.1 in the root as a directory install. BuddyPress is the last stable version.

I was also thinking it might have something to do with the nonce functions. What can cause something like that? It’ll be a coding error from my side, however I’m not sure where to look.

I modified the skeleton member theme to work with my WordPress theme design. I have not modified any of the core, just added custom functions to the skeleton theme.

– I switched back to the original BP theme, it seems to work correctly there. Where do I have to start looking then?

– Another question, if I started to work with the trac files to modifiy the new theme structure from the scratch, do I have to fear more changes until the launch of 1.1 (just to the theme files?)

Ok, I have update my scripts… now running WordPress MU 2.8.4. & BuddyPress 1.0.3.

I have also managed to change the fullname for the username by adding a filter to bp_user_fullname. But it only works for the profile page. I was hoping to change all the fullname for the username throughout the site. (I find the original bp fullname Vs username system to be very confusing)

Any Suggestions?

@Andrea-r – I believe I have the ‘first part’ solved already. That being that each blog has it’s own users. Aaron was kind enough to spend the time building a custom plugin for me that allows users to signup on a subdomain blog without leaving the subdomain. *Aaron rocks!*

This way each subdomain has ‘it’s own’ members, though all members are automatically added to the primary blog and the bp blog behind the scenes. [expect this plugin to be released on the premium dev site sometime soon so everyone can have it]

Now that each ‘blog’ will have it’s own users, I have an idea to attack this problem.

1. As most everything displayed by buddypress is via widgets, I may be able to duplicate the widgets and then write some custom filters to only output what the ‘subdomain blogs’ users have been up to.

e.g. filtering the activity stream to only show activity from the blogs users which is being displayed.

2. for those displays that are not widgets, like the members list/groups list/ etc…

That may take a bit more filtering.

Anyhow, I have to imagine that buddypress is already thinking about this type of stuff already. I personally just can’t see how they can even begin to implement buddypress on wordpress.com type of sites without this ability.

@allenweiss, both of the files need to go in your active WordPress HOME theme, not your bpmember theme.

@dwpers – Actually I want it the other way around. I don’t want my users blogs integrated into the bp site, but want bp integrated into my user blogs. While it sounds like a ‘trivial’ difference it is not.

I’m trying to figure out how to give each blog owner their own buddypress sub-community. With the new theme system for bp coming out, it should be much easier to integrate bp into my current website themes. Then I would like to only display members/groups/forums/etc that ‘belong’ to that particular blog.

Think of it from ‘how would wordpress.com integrate buddypress?’

If they simply just had a ‘huge’ community that everyone was a member of, kind of how ning did it on their ‘home’ site, then no one would ever really be interested. I’m more suspecting that buddypress would become a plugin that each blog would activate on their own to build their own ‘sub-community’. Though I am pretty sure that wordpress.com would follow the ning example and automatically have all members of all blogs become part of a larger community behind the scenes. Whether they know it or not.

Am I off base here?
