Hi there
1st of all, I found your support just awesome and I like to share you my misery to help me with it please , 2nd I'm so sorry if I knocked a door which was already opened.
but I searched around for an answer but with no avails
I'm not an expert in php coding or master in web designing but I'm building a medical website which is proudly using press services, WPMU, BBpress and Now I wanna Add Buddypress.
I searched around for how-to install buddypress as a sub-domain
I'm using wpmu 2.9.1, wildcard is active and I like the install buddypress as
Community.example.tld
rather than Install Buddypress on a Secondary Blog --> (http://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/)
I've read Changing Internal Configuration Settings --> (http://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings/) but didn't find a clear answer.
I came across this code if I like to Set which blog ID BuddyPress will run on:
define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', $blog_id );
if I didn't find an answer for my first question, I have plan B question ;)
if I've chosen the blog Id to be 3 for example
would it be like this blog3.example.tld/community
and How can I Keep my old BuddyPress user / group avatars in the 1st and 2nd situation ??
and How to Redirect previous BuddyPress permalinks in both cases
I'm sorry again if I asked for something which is already answered but you are my 1st and my last rescuer
Thanks again

Hiya,
A couple of questions:
1) Is your current WPMU site at example.tld? If so is it a subdomain or subdirectory install?
2) Are you wanted to add BuddyPress to your existing WPMU site or create a separate site?
Thanks,
Andrew

Dear andrew
my site is not exapmle.tld and i'm running wpmu with activated subdomain registrations
and I liked to add buddypress as a subdomain rather than a directory
Thank you very much andrew for trying to help me out here and I'm sorry if I didn't explain myself properly.
I Like self experience, it helps me in a way that I will never forget that and I learn from my mistakes.
I added a blog called community that shown like
community.example.tld
and I edited my wp-config by adding this line
define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', 3 );at line 20
Nomber 3 is my blog nomber (which can be subdomain or directory depending on how did you activate your wpmu)
then activating buddypress plugin
but
when I tried to activate the forum "which is bowered by bbpress" for this subdomain it showed like this
community.example.tld/forum
I had a forum already which is forum.example.tld
how can I fix that now !!?
I found the answer
I oppened my .htaccess and add this line
RedirectMatch 301 ^/forums/(.*)$ http://forums.example.tld/$1just before
# add a trailing slash to /wp-adminSo now it's working nicely
I knew i'm confusing everybody here, is this a question or an answer ?
I asked some question and I found the answers, and I'd like to share them just in case any body tried to find an answer around here.
but I have another question, if I didn't have bbpress installed already
how does buddypress will activate the forums !!?
would it install it by itself !? how would it looks like ??
would it be like:
community.example.tld/forums !?
would it have the same theme as buddypress has ?
Thanks for support guys

I found The answer Again
I have another website running wpmu too, and I tried to install buddypress with No bbpress previous installation, guess what !?
It went smoothly and generate a new bbpress forum with No problem at all
and all have the same theme
I just Love wpmu, Buddypress , They made my life easier
I love wpmudev too
they made me creative rather being a Leecher

Hiya,
I think you answered most of your own questions :)
Is there anything else you need assistance with?
Thanks,

Thank you andrew for backing me up
I do have a question

or I do have to do that ?

Forums in BuddyPress are attached to groups. You have to use Groups with Forums. You can read more about how forums work in our BuddyPress manual - http://premium.wpmudev.org/the-buddypress-manual/
