BuddyPress.org

I just came across an absolutely amazing video module for drupal at

http://drupal.org/project/flashvideo

also a video showing how it works at

http://fleetthought.com/using-flashvideo-user-contributed-video-drupal-tutorial

After watching the video, I installed a drupal site onto a dev server with the plugin, and I have to say it’s absolutely fantastic. I don’t believe they missed anything with this plugin.

As we have the ‘framework’ for video for wordpress, I wonder how hard it would be to ‘adapt’ their code concept to wordpress. (Actually I’m kinda shocked that wordpress does not already have something better as wordpress community is huge)

when I change the theme to the church theme that I am using on wpmu it does not work!

BuddyPress themes are special cases of WordPress themes. They have additional functions and some unique code that make them work in BP. So, you cannot take any WP theme and substitute it for a BuddyPress theme.

If you wish to use something other than one of the Standard BP themes, then you need to pick an already available custom BP theme, customize a WP theme to make it work in BP, or design your own BP custom theme from scratch. You can search the BP forums for advice on customizing themes to work in BP.

Why don’t you create widgetized areas within your theme? That is probably easier and you will have more control over the widgets.

Look here for more info on create widget ready themes

Or is that the part that you tried and didn’t work?

I’m having the same problem, but mine seems to be related only to the “register” page.

I can’t let anyone register. What is the difference between /wp-signup.php and /register?

I can’t get either to work. I did a clean install on another test domain into a new database and it won’t let me signup anyone either. I get blank screens back with no errors.

There was an issue with new blog / user signup that I solved (looks like activation site wide and 2.7.X wpmu has a problem)

I used the hacked version of plug in commander

https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/10364#post-62414

and now the new users are presented with the all in one activation link once they log in to admin area.

It’s WordPress Mu + BuddyPress + BBpress for real estate.

Translating for Portuguese-BR

É um site utilizando WordPress Mu + BuddyPress + BBpress para negócios imobiliários.

Cheers!

Hi, I’ve upgraded to wordpress 2.7.1 and successfully installed and activated bpdev plugins.

I’ve want to a add flickr gallery to each profile but I am clueless about how to do it, I see no flickr seccion in my profile or any other and in the control pannel I see nowhere I can put my flickr key.

Thanks for the code Nicola.

So far from what I can see of the second release candidate of bbPress 1.0, it looks like integration has gotten better for BuddyPress and WordPress MU, but don’t expect a simple turn-key installation. There are simply too many configurations to not have to dip into the wp-config.php or bb-config.php files a little bit.

Integration of bbPress1.0 RC2 is essentially the same as the Alpha’s, other than there being a spot to enter the ID of the main WPMU blog. There’s also an extra variable to add to the config files to force the integration method, but I suspect that to be only temporary.

Once everything becomes 1.0, things will probably make more sense and come more into alignment.

try registering for a username at wordpress.com and then try to login through the bbpress site

Oh, forgot to add…the permalinks don’t work in the translated versions either – i.e. on my test site http://www.lleidaonline.net/blog works in Catalan but http://www.lleidaonline.net/en/blog returns a page not found error (badly translated except (so far) in the English which I’ve corrected (a nice feature of TransPosh).

Don’t forget to click on the US English (I’m also trying to find/write a British English .mo file so I can put a British flag instead of American, since I’m in Europe (and English!).

The main reason I want to do this at all is to cater for the two local languages, Catalan and Spanish, but have English available too. I also found a neat plugin for setting a different back end language but only managed to get that to work using the Codestyling Localization plugin which I couldn’t get to work completely as I wanted either).

Just thought I’d add that in the hope it’ll help others – here’s the Transposh link FYI, which is not usually mentioned but simpler than the main ones.

I have related questions about the relationship between the WP tables and the BP tables, so I’d like to make sure that I understand the responses above.

I know that BP maintains user profile information separately from “wp_usermeta” (in “wp_bp_xprofile_data”, to be specific). BP provides functionality for modifying this information, but no way for putting “wp_usermeta” fields into the “edit profile” form.

So I think the answer to Peter’s question is that without *major* customization:

1. You have to be happy with user data being stored in a few different places

2. All user editable info must be in the tables created by BP

Is this correct?

BTW, what does the “Disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing?” option do under BP General Settings in the admin page? Does this only apply to the username field?

Are you taling about this cache https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/ ?

bp does have built in support for this. If you can track down exactly when and where the avatars fail to load with it enabled it would help. Without being able to reproduce the problem in a specific area when this exact thing happnens or you do that thing, it’s impossible to track down the issues.

Try to reproduce the problem and post the results in trac as a bug.

First, make a test install of wpmu and buddypress. Then import your wordpress xml to the test wpmu install and see how it works (it normally works fine).

If you are satisfied with the results, then go for it.

http://wspinacze.pl/forum/ – I followed all your instruction and wordpress and buddypress are loaded (there is user avatar visible for logged in user) but there is no admin bar. any suggestions?

This sounds like an interesting plugin. Thanks for your contribution!

Please consider submitting it to the WordPress plugin repository, tagged BuddyPress, when you feel it is ready to go. I’m sure many people will find this useful.

I will be interested in using this plugin myself on a new site I’ll be developing in about 2 months.

Are you using the vbulletin bridge for WordPress?

One quick comment – vb is a much more feature rich forum than bbpress. But, tools have been created to nicely integrate bbpress with buddypress groups. So, you’ll need to figure out how to handle the forums. If most of your traffic will be coming from the forums, you may want to look more closely at vb’s social networking tools.

These are not necessarily tools but some additional measures you can consider:

And then a friend told me that Bluehost just allowed a one click Buddy Press install.

I’m not sure why some ISPs keep trying to push a BuddyPress one-click install option. BuddyPress is not stand-alone software. It requries WPMU. So, at best, and if this was even practical, you would need to click twice–once to intsall WPMU then another time to install BuddyPress.

I would be wary of such claims. Also, be advised that some people have had issues with this in the past, so if you go that route and come here asking for support we will ask how you installed BuddyPress.

Remember, BuddyPress is just a big WPMU plugin. So, you can download and activate it via the WPMU’s admin menus. You don’t need a questionable one-click install.
