    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

    Hi Lukas,
    Thank you for clarifying.

    Yes, you are expecting the right thing. The plugin should allow you to have different profile fields.
    I am looking into it and will get back to you in 30-45 minutes.

    Hi Lukas,
    Welcome to BuddyDev forums.
    I am sorry for the inconvenience.

    1. Is it Multiblog or BP multi network plugin?

    When I try to add new fields it says “there was an error saving the group”

    I am sorry but what field you are trying to add? Are you using a 3rd party plugin like group extras?

    Can you please provide the details.

    PS: We have discontinued the priority support in favor of forums( you will get priority support here). Can you please point me where did you get the link to priority support? We are cleaning up remaining links and will help us to streamline.

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Hi,
    Thank you.
    I have sent you a PM with my email address. Please send me a copy there.

    We are not deregistering anything but yes, we are partially loading the Media js file, so that may be a point of conflict.

    You can check that normal BuddyPress avatar upload(from profile page) works fine with MediaPress. So, I am not in a position to comment ton the conflicts. Once I receive the plugin, will test and post back here.

    thank you
    Brajesh
