Multiblogs using one buddypress database?
-
I am setting up several blogs in a multiblog setting, which means that all blogs share the same usertable and usermeta table. Now I want to drop in buddypress into the mix and I wonder if there is a good way to do that without having multiple userdata for each blog?

Nope
Not looking for a MU setup as MU has been discarded as an option for several reasons
I think I have found the solution though by changing all instances of $wpdb->prefix to the database and prefix I want to use for all Buddypress installations.
Yup, hopefully it will take the good parts of MU and make WP capable of both Multi User and Multi Blog functions
I have not seen any word on when it will get out though and that means its a few months off at least and then Buddypress need a while to rewrite for 3.0. Don’t want to wait that long really to see if things become the way I want or not
It’s just to bad Buddypress do not have a way to define which database to use for Buddypress information by default, but I guess it never needed it
3.0 is available for testing in trunk. A very rough timeline is April. If you could specify what things you wanted, I can certainly tell you if they;re coming in 3.0 or not.
If you put up the multiblog setup correctly then there should be no problem with double data. I have a test network running with 3 blogs, the main having buddypress installed and even a single bbpress install.
