Dainismichel, I’ve been that route for the past year and a half. Nothing compares to buddypress that is out there. I’m hoping to find a skeleton theme that integrates the blogs nicely. I have one now from wildrot, but it will take a lot of work to get it production ready. I’ll keep you posted.

[@belogical Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

doh!

[@belogical Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

very interesting thread. i just started something similar here. https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2434

i totally thought the blogs were integrated into the home theme. i had no idea they weren’t. i was going to launch my site this weekend, now it’s looking pretty bad. i would have to hack a theme together, which stinks. i was really excited about the all in one integrated themes, especially at upgrade time. get the new features and no hacks on my theme!

i do like the look of that JPG, but wouldn’t care if it was identical. i would just love the integration of blogs into the home theme. any help or info I can provide to the community, I will post here. please do the same with regular updates.

this is a show stopper for me.

probably a simple oversight, but good catch! the old site had one.

[@belogical Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

As I think about this more, I might have made an incorrect assumption. I assumed that the home theme could be used for each new users home theme as well. Now looking at the demo site, it looks like Andy just used the home theme for the main site, then set the default theme as WordPress Classic.

Did I make an incorrect assumption, or was the home theme intended for all users default blog as well?

[@belogical Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

All blogs used to be using /themes/fourWPTPv2 (another them outside of buddypress)

The rest is correct!

messages seem to be working again from me on buddpress.org

[@belogical Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

DJPaul, sorry I couldn’t help. This is running on my 3rd BP domain/server, which get’s the littlest attention to it. Very likely that is the cause. I use it for alpha testing. My beta server will be upgraded when 1.0 comes out. If all goes well, I’ll push it to the production server. I’ll provide more feedback when my beta environment gets updated. Sounds like it is going well!

[@belogical Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

PHP 5, WPMU 2.7.1, BP RC2

The new option did show up to send a default message. I setup all my options, then registered a new user, and nothing worked for me. No default friend, group, or message.

[@belogical Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

I always like to verify it’s an issue 1st in the forums, then report it to the trac myself.

[@belogical Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

DJPaul, I’m willing to test.

Maybe I should just grovel for a bit… I assumed my component would work the same as yours. I thought I would have to enable it under the BuddyPress Component Setup, and it would then be activated sitewide. I also hadn’t changed the default text “My BuddyPress Component 1.0 This BuddyPress component is the greatest thing since sliced bread”. I didn’t recognize my own component I activated it sitewide (under plugins instead of buddypress componenets) and it seems to be functioning the same way as RC1. My apologies!

[@belogical Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

Yeah, I understand the themes, I’m talking about the components developed from the skeleton component. I made mine with v1.1 and now it’s broken with RC2.

[@belogical Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

Thanks Jeff, shoot me a wire message when you are done if you think about it. Wanted to try to get this going this weekend.

[@belogical Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

Andy, do you mind commenting on this?

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2009

I want to know what direction to take in converting my component. If there will be an “official” version, I might wait.

Lastly, will our components be “Future Proof” like the themes from here forward?

Thanks for your input!

[@belogical Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

Playing catch up now, thanks Jeff. Look at the long thread now Might need some help. I just upgraded to WPMU 2.7.1 and RC2 tonight and my component definitely doesn’t work

[@belogical Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

[@belogical Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]
