    Hi Hans,
    I thought a little more about it. There can be two strategies to implement it

    1. Use activity internally to create the section. Define a new type of activity for this. It will give us all the functionalities of the activity and we can differentiate it from the normal activity.
    That will also help us to use any media uploader as most support activity.

    2. Use custom post type, use the post type for this section and create activities when the post is created. invest some time in allowing uploads etc.

    Do you see any issue with the first approach in using activity?

    Hi Lukas,
    Apologies for the delayed reply.

    Yes, you are right about the listing on sub sites.

    Hi,
    Yes, that will completely stop MediaPress from loading any js file on that page. Thanks for the update.
    make sure to use your own page Id in place of 48 though.

    Thank you Lukas for the appreciation. Your support keeps us motivated 🙂

    About the member type field:-

    There are multiple solutions to that.

    1. You can register a member type in your bp-custom.php. Any member type registered there will be available on all sites.
    In case you need help registering member type, here is a tutorial series on that.

    2. We have a plugin that disables editing of a field once updated. You can use this to disallow students from changing their member type.

    3. If you want a member type field, here is a plugin that may help

    PS: We also have a Member type generator plugin that works with Multisite( But we haven’t tested it with a Multi Blog setup yet)

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Hans,
    Thank you for the topic.
    What you are saying makes great sense to me if we try to build a microblog/news section type of thing for the groups.

    Let us decide the specification and we can get this quickly.

    1. There is no categories/no tags nothing. Just a simple post box that posts to the section
    2. Only admin should be able to post or someone else should be too?
    3. Do we have a concept of draft/pending and approval for the posts or not?
    4. Do we create activity when a post is published?
    5. These posts does not appear in normal blog section of the site?
    6. Please suggest a name for the plugin 🙂

    Please do let me know these and anything else which I might have overlooked and we will get it ready quickly 🙂

    Hi Lukas,
    I had a look at the setup and I also tested it on a local development installation.

    Can you please confirm that you did the following things:-

    1. You have enabled BuddyPress Multi Blog Mode( BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG constant defined)
    2. You have network activated BuddyPress
    3. You have Network activated BuddyPress Multi Network plugin

    That is the first step and it seems( though I could not check) that you have already done that.

    As far as I understand, Your problem is because tables are not being created for the new sites BuddyPress installation.

    To make sure that BuddyPress installs properly on subsite, please make sure to do the following:-

    1. After creating a sub site, please visit the sub site’s dashboard as Super Admin( Or network admin ) atleast once.

    If you don’t do that tables won’t be created. This is due to a change in BuddyPress in 2.0+.

    Please try creating a test site and visit its dashboard as super admin. Then Visit Settings->BuddyPress and save the component settings.Then please check if the profile field groups are created properly for that site.

    PS: Registration/Activation are specific to a sub site( just confirming your 2nd question and that works).

    Please check and let me know.

    Thank you
    Brajesh
