Support Forum

I would just like report that everything installed prefectly and was up and running with WPMU 2.7.1, BuddPres 1.0-RC2, and BBPress Alpha (installed for BP support only) without a hitch.

I did have to rename the page and slug for S:PF, but that was only because I installed BBPress to /forum/, so my bad. Installing BBPress for use with BuddyPress groups and wire with single sign-on, a process which can only be likened to have a poorly preformed root canal, left my site wanting. BuddyPress' handeling of BBPress forums / threads causes BBPress to be functionally unsuable for a human. After looking over WP forum software I chose this over WP-Forum for it's added functionality. Thank you for that.

The only thing I have to work out now is removing the sidebar on the forum page (which I noticed you had a tutorial for, I will reply with its efficacy per WPMU).

Thanks for all the good work, the forums function perfectly and are a great deal easier to administer than any other WPMU plugin I've used- let alone BBPress.

P.S. You're registration system isn't sending confermation emails…

I did check spam, both in gmail and mail.app (just in case IMAP did something dumb), no dice. Anyway, I'll keep trying.

Our current installation of WPMU / BuddyPress will be migrated to a new server (with a better domain name) once we feel like it's resonably stable. The current server will become a dev server. I don't see a problem giving you an admin account once the move has been made, especially if it may result in tighter integration, which is of use to us. Sadly, academia's pushes into the future, such as our lab development, are glacial at best. We're hoping for a transfer this summer. I'll keep you posted.

I'm definitely interested in this as well. I am running bbPress right now, and it's just not as integrated as I'd like it to be.

What I'd like to see most is SPF activity showing up in each user's activity on BuddyPress. So when a user makes a forum post, it will show in their activity. This is one thing that is really lacking with the bbPress/BuddyPress integration.

Hello,

This thread is very timely for me and touches upon issues I am really concerned about. Our WPMU/Buddypress site serves the religious community and every new blog is a Church. Each Church sets up groups for independent ministries such as prison ministries, youth ministries, etc. Our primary desire is to provide each group with a separate and private Group Forum accessible only to the members of the group; and in addition to have a Global Site Forum accessible to all users. -  And like Bob said above we want each user to see their own activity on their profile but we also want each group to see their activity on the group page. – Whew!

I found a real estate community with both BBPress and Simple:Press installed to achieve this end – and apparently it is working because they have 28,000 member realtors and hundreds of separate groups.

I really hope you find someone to help you provide these excellent features! – I am so impressed with your sincerity and willingness to tackle this issue that I am going to install SPF today and hold off on installing BBpress because of it's inherent problems.

Thank you for letting me vent!
