Hi Burtadsit,
Your right, on the RC-1 I can upload an avatar during signup, I can also change it afterwards with a new image in my profile… Funny I didnt see that!
I guess it confused me a little that I was unable to change my avatar on the new buddypress.org layout without going to gravatar.com. (Not like RC-1)
It says:
Your avatar will be used on your profile and throughout the site.
Avatars on BuddyPress are controlled by the globally recognized avatar system (Gravatar). To change or create a new avatar for your account, please login or signup at: http://gravatar.com.
If you are signing up for a new Gravatar account, make sure you use the same email address that is registered with your WordPress.org account.

So I would have to goto gravatar.com and upload a new avatar instead of just uploading it on the buddypress site. I guess the avatars on the new layout is all controlled by gravatar.com. 
I would like to see something like the “tag surfing” feature on http://en.wordpress.com/tags/
If u run a large community it is essential to “categorize” ur posts in some way to make them accessable. I think the tag surfing idea is a pretty simple and good solution!
A tag cloud on the frontpage and a feature like “Browse by recent Tags” would be great!
Thanks for the compliments guys. Glad to have a platforms like WordPress and BuddyPress to work off of. Thanks for the showcase Andy.
http://wannanetwork.com/members/dakota/ gets a 404
while
http://wannanetwork.com/members/markmadsen/ works
I don’t have the error logs on hand but I will post them later.
Thanks!
i’m using hostgator and it’s fine for wordpressmu (and obviously buddypress too)
1. congrats on the members
2. I don’t believe it has been done yet.
Depending on your mysql abilities, you may find it easier to just write a quick and dirty php file with a mysql connect to show members. The overhead that wordpress and buddypress would add to this process wouldn’t be worth the minimal gains of the buddypress functions.
But if you don’t know much mysql, then you may be forced to do it inside of an admin plugin.
Here are a few quick and dirty sql lines to get you started:
find all users:
SELECT user_nicename FROM wp_users;
find all users, and show full name (from profile fields)
SELECT users.user_nicename , profile.value FROM wp_users users, wp_bp_xprofile_data profile WHERE users.ID = profile.user_id AND profile.field_id =1
If by “deep integration” you mean loading wordpress at the top of bb-config.php, no, we don’t do that. But, if the tables share the same database, that’s not needed.
If the xmlrpc method WILL break when retrieving large topics, then I don’t see a choice but to directly query the bb tables. Otherwise, using bbpress for the group topics is fatally flawed.
Try the bp job board Kathleen. https://buddypress.org/groups/buddypress-job-board Gotta close this topic.
Hey Maxaud, Off topic but nice job on becoming a Showcase Site at wordpress.org!
I just gave you five stars. Go BuddyPress!
Why fix something when it’s not broke!
You should keep the same practices as wordpress!
Is this a buddy press issues or wordpress mu issue?
Even blog titles,
http://yaksocial.com/blog/2009/03/24/yak-social/
The title is non existent! It’s simply displaying the website name omg!
OK. I did a fresh install and only added Database Integration. Actually I did it both ways with cookies as well as with only database integration. On both I get this setup errors…
>>> WordPress “auth” cookie salt not set.
>>>>>> Could not fetch “auth” cookie salt from the WordPress options table.
>>>>>> You will need to manually define the “auth” cookie salt in your database.
>>> WordPress “logged in” cookie salt not set.
>>>>>> Could not fetch “logged in” cookie salt from the WordPress options table.
>>>>>> You will need to manually define the “logged in” cookie salt in your database.
The problem is that these are not defined in the database to my knowledge. I think the ldap plugin takes these out? Any suggestions on how I could integrate the forums with the LDAP WPMU Plugin??
What’s the max size can one upload in wordpress MU/BP for a blog because I get an error msg when uploading 50mb (size to big) ! maybe in future there’s going to be a bottleneck on video media uploads on servers?
Being a nub at anything PHP, is there an example of this somewhere?

@Manoj: I think your plugin imports existing wordpress users. In my case, the existing database is not wordpress.
You can make use of widgets available in BuddyPress and WordPress.
Hi,
We had same problem when we moved our installation to WordPress MU + BuddyPress
So, I have developed a plugin for importing members to WordPress MU + BuddyPress installation.
It might be useful for you as well, please check it in https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/
Yeh, it’s rocking out, nice work.
BTW, you missed out out installing wordpress mu video on the https://codex.buddypress.org/page – it’s been watched a few thousand times and we’re getting plenty of positive feedback so I hope its useful.
Here are some directions for backing up and restoring your wordpress db.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database
I used it to convert my beta site to RC1. Pretty straight forward.
I like the sound of this.. privacy for members && groups…
I hope you would add this plugin to bpdev or wordpress.org for all to use?
I haven’t modified any of that… here is the possible error I am getting:
[20-Mar-2009 09:26:20] WordPress database error Table ‘my_database.wp_Array_options’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT * FROM wp_Array_options WHERE option_name = ‘siteurl’ made by get_blog_option
it looks like wp_Array_options should be getting wp_X_options where X = the blogid number. Any ideas where this query would be taking place and why the variable would be an Array instead of just a number?
I think maybe I might have used a variable somewhere I shouldn’t have maybe if I can do a search for that variable name and check all instances of it I can find where it is being set to an Array instead of just the blog_id.
Thanks for all your help.
Thank you DJPaul.
Yes, that’s what I meant.
I plan to use a separate classified ad script, and I was trying to know if a professional developper would be able to mod the script so that it uses the wordpress login for authentification. As I said, the idea is to require that users register in order to view the full details of the ads.
1) Depends what you mean by “same login.” If the classified ads is part of another site, then you will have to see if you change mod that program to use the WordPress user tables for authentication.
2) Yes, it’s possible – just use the is_user_logged_in() function as a check.
Modifying $wp_filter and all those other vars is dangerous. These are wp internal vars that control the flow of function calls when wp does do_action() or apply_filters(). Changing their values can lead to unpredictable behavior.
Danger Will Robinson.
If you want to change the sequence of the actions and filters in wp or replace them with your own functions, there is a way to do this. remove_action() remove_filter() and the action priority parameter.
See: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API
I ran into a big problem with avatars: images could be uploaded, but the crop box couldn’t be adjusted (it could only be found up in the lefthand corner of the image), when you cropped anyway and went ahead the image literally bounced around the page, and the uploaded images wouldn’t show up — I’d just get a black box.
The solution, as it turned out, was to look for plugins that might be causing the conflict. For me, the Litebox plugin for WordPress was causing the problem — deactivating it enabled everything to work just fine.
> Will it use a wikifarm installation where the main installation is in /wiki/ and when a new wiki is created it will create an independent wiki in /wiki/examplewiki/ using the wiki-engine in /wiki/ or will it simply create a new group in the main wiki /wiki/?
It will be for example (Link will not work) http://mybuddypress.de/wikis/examplewiki
The engine will be the same for all the wikis. You can even those the skin for your wiki. But one cool feature is, that you can inherid material from the main wiki. The idee is: We have lots of course-material in one wiki. But you want to rearrange it useing the existing stuff in a subwiki. It is even possible to have something like. http://mybuddypress.de/wiki/examplewiki/wiki-for-our-next-meeting.
But we don’t have a user interface for that at the moment.
> Will it use the user authorisation from the wpmu/bp-database or the built in system?
The authorisation will be from the wpmu/bp-database. If you are a user of Buddypress, you can create new wikis, invite friends etc. It is based on the group plugin and will work in a simular way.
> Will you need someone to test it? (I’m no programmer but i would love to help in anyway i can.)
If you send me an E-Mail i can give you the access-data. If you wan’t to help, documentation und support will be importend. In a few weeks, i would love to see a video on wordpress.tv showing the stuff.
> Will it be available for download?
Yes. If it works correct and documentations is done, you can download it. Everything should be GPL.
