what is: $bp->displayed_user->id->rank
does buddypress have a rank?? and per the codex page I gave you, that is not an ID, but the SP ranks… so
sp_forum_api_support();
global $spThisUser;
sp_UserSpecialRank('', $spThisUser->special_ranks);
you can custom the arguments per the codex page…
@kevin…
ran through your site for a couple 2 or 3 hours tonight… very limited amount of data that I can see… but your issue is very clearly the same as Carlos’… you are getting php out of memory errors… now, I have no clue why at the moment… but its is happening… even with 256M allocated…
no way for me to track what is going on as web user… really need to get your host involved to see if they can tell which script or query is using up the memory… it does die in a buddypress routine, but that doesnt really mean anything…
a bit of a head scratcher at the moment since its working well for most folks…
Papa,
Regarding the profile information. What I mean is that if you choose to view your forum profile with the standard Simple-Press forum appearance, none of the BP profile data is displayed. It would be nice to use the BP Profile data inside the Simple-Press profile display instead of leaving the forum to view the BP profile. I think I’m still being unclear, but I’m trying 
No, you were clear… I was just making the point that at current time, we chose to combine the buddypress and simple press profile stuff into the buddypress profile…
multiple reasons… shorter learning curve in writing the plugin.. straight forward to do and not have to learn how to access bp profile data… along the same lines and a bigger deal is all the buddypress plugins out there that add additional profile fields and tabs… pulling all that across would be problematic… which plugins to support? and which not to? would defeat the purpose if we only pulled default bp data across and not all the plugins… much simpler to put our stuff over there…
but the real reason was that the majority of the users we consulted with on buddypress, have the buddpress stuff as the center of their site, not sp… so it made more sense to focus the profile in the place most folks spend their time… now of course, this wont be true for 100% of the sites using bp and sp, but was a significant majority of those polled…
and this doesnt mean we cannot consider going the other direction too… but in the initial release, the option will be to combine the profiles on the bp side…

I talked to media temple and all they said was pretty much what they told me last time which was there must be an error in the plugin script that is using way too much memory. They also said that it would be up to the plugin developer to find the error in the script, not them.
I asked if they could help me find it and they said they couldn’t 
wow. a hosting company that is zero help – not surprised… only they can dig into the specifics of php script running out of memory… I dont have the kind of access to the server needed… and I know most hosting companies can do that – if they want…
since its working fine for all beta users but you and Carlos, it indicates its something in local configuration… not saying wrong, but something unique… I dont have any trouble with the plugin in 32MB of php memory…
not sure of a path forward here for you…

No worries. I completely understand given that information. I think with a little effort on my part (for once, right?) it will work just fine as it exists. I haven’t had any issues with it’s functionality as desgined, nor problems with using it and a number of Simple:Press plugins.
Thanks!
sounds good. like I said, we can consider it for future…
primary work on your part is simply going to forum – profiles – profile options and redirecting sp profile to bp… now, not 100% of the sp stuff is copied over, so if something critical is missing, you may need both…
OK. Still liking the way this works and have gotten just about everything set up. One question, though. As of 5.2.3 I thought there you could use the TinyMCE plugin to allow an editor for the profile signatures. I am running SP core 5.2.6 and have installed the TinyMCE plugin for SP. Could the problem be that I am using BP profiles and that is why there is no editor for the profile signatures?
same thing I did when I came to that conclusion… especially after the all the work it took to get it working on ours (lol more than the entire profile design and implementation)…
updated beta to version 0.97…
no earth shattering changes… some cleanups, notice removal, support for other sp plugins… just updating for users to have a play with….
download on first post in topic…
Tried 0.97 and it still crashes my site when I activate it Hopefully someone figures out why this happens and it gets fixed.
yeah, unfortunately, nothing overtly for your issue which is still not understood – and lacking data from the host, may not be…
