1.5 and “Pages”

Hello,

I’m kind of confused about the WordPress pages concept with Buddypress 1.5. If we have to install the BP Compatibility plugin to edit the template files for our theme then why do we need these pages?

Can anyone confirm if Buddypress is going to use a shortcode for this in the future? Take the jigoshop plugin for instance, once installed it lets you display content with shortcodes where creating pages makes sense, etc etc.

This would be a big help and would make it easier on theme designers so they don’t have to keep updating the buddypress templates, /activity/, /members/, etc etc.

The question about theming/shortcodes is not really related to the issue of WP pages in BP 1.5. BP 1.5 uses WP pages in order to integrate into WP menus, to make it easier to change permalinks, etc. There is no integration with the page templates in your WP theme.

In the future, there will be better integration with a wider variety of WordPress themes. Test out the new bbPress to get a sense of what it might look like. It might not involve shortcodes, but it will be something equally easy. In the meantime, the Template Pack is your best bet.

Ok thanks Boone, I can see why it would be used for the WordPress menus.

Hopefully bbPress can integrate these templates into shortcodes in the future.
