For some reason my forum broke… am going to install it from scratch again, and I noticed that the instructions once at http://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/installation-readme.txt have been changed by Andy. According to that the forum is now integrated with buddypress.

Does anyone have any further information on this? I don’t think this applies to 1.03. If that’s the case having that linked off the docs could be quite confusing for some….

As you can tell by your url given, you are looking at the trunk version of the installation-readme.text.

A lot has changed in regards to how the forum is implemented and more changes are coming. Currently the trunk version of the forum integration is for groups only.

So no, this does not apply to 1.0.3

And before you ask, no, it is not recommended to use the trunk version of BuddyPress on a public website.

Oops… trunk of course! it’s been a long day… got it working the old fashioned way

The other point I was making though is that this is linked off the main installation instructions:

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypress/.

The reason I probably didn’t even look at the URL is because of that. I’m sure lots of people will do the same, and if they are new to buddypress they won’t be aware of the usual way of installing it and either post questions here or maybe even give up!

I’ve updated the Codex page to point to the readme.txt in the 1.0.3 tag. Let’s all help each other remember to update the link with future versions…
