When moving a WP/BP install from one domain to another is it possible to simply backup the BuddyPress tables within the dB? Are their any issues restoring only the BP tables and not the WP tables?

bp_get_current_group_name() almost all template functions have an equivalent get_() function that will return instead of echo.

In reply to: Chris Foster posted an update: Anyone know how to determine a group is where you are located?

1.2 Theme Test Group: 1 year, 11 months ago
Don’t know the answer to that one. I think thats handled by the ajax loader. But again, could be wrong.

Chris Foster posted on the forum topic Blogs on home page – Activity tab in the group
I haven’t messed with that in a while… but I think its as easy as changing the Front Page display under “Settings” then “Reading” … select A static page. And then for the front page, select Activity Stream.
I could be wrong…

For example:
Group ”Test” home uses /groups/single/home.php —> but have it use –> /groups/single/home-test.php as a custom page?-
Unfortunately not, but that might be a good idea for a future version.

You could use a conditional template tag right now in home.php, check to see what group it is and load a different template.

Very impressive. What did you use to aggregate those featured posts and thumbnails beneath ”Open for Discussion”?
The featured posts are all done manually. We are exploring a plugin to make this a bit easier in the future.
I’m working on a very similar site in Birmingham, Ala. I’d like to compare notes sometime. I’m fooling with the buddypress sitewide featured post plugin to see if it can be hacked for this purpose.
