In reply to: mobile theme for buddypress?FYI I’m waiting on this http://jquerymobile.com/ to finish a mobile BP theme.
The alpha release is set for OCT so as soon as it’s available I’ll be working on it.
In reply to: BuddyPress Template PackBuddyPress and BuddyPress template pack are two separate plugins. Do you have both installed?
You will need to install the BuddyPress template pack plugin and follow the instructions. There is some code editing that you will need to do to make it fit perfectly.

Or you could use WP 3.0 custom post types and something like gravity forms.

In reply to: Add users profile fields to the activity pageYou could add a file called front.php – members/single/front.php and then create a new front page from the existing code.
Damn it Janet!
Are you making them admins in the WP backend or just groups?
In reply to: Split members into admin defined caregoriesYes! It’s a much needed feature
In reply to: Split members into admin defined caregoriesI agree about more control but seems easy to use WP roles now to filter.
In reply to: Need help learning plugin developmentDownload existing plugins and look at the code. That’s how I learn by disecting and seeing the workings of a functional plugin. Also I plan an idea and then learn as I go along. If you get stuck there are plenty of people here who might help. And like @djpaul said you need to understand php as that’s what WP/BP is built on
In reply to: Split members into admin defined caregoriesI think roles is the right way. Basically you have a group admin and mods. There needs to be a way to add other roles. That way you can say xx role can only join group.
In reply to: Split members into admin defined caregoriesIt’s doable but with work. You basically would need to create new roles and then do custom member loops to only call those from a certain role.
In reply to: Split members into admin defined caregoriesI’m working on this same problem. I’m checking out roles plugins.
In reply to: Modify profile edit screenYou have to echo it out. http://php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php
wrap it in php tags
echo bp_profile_field_data( ‘field=About Me’ );In reply to: Modify profile edit screenin member-header.php theres a comment that says this.
If you’d like to show specific profile fields here use:
bp_profile_field_data( ‘field=About Me’ ); — Pass the name of the fieldIn reply to: BuddyPress Share It button liveIf you rename the div then the js will stop as the js is attached to that class.
Thanks, I’l mess with it

I was looking at one of @djpaul ‘s plugins to see how the sub nav items were added below but I can’t seem to get it to show up.
been messing with this and got it to work but not sure how to get a sub nav working. I have a tab next to profile but want to have sub navs.
`function my_test_setup_nav() {
global $bp;
bp_core_new_nav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘test’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘test’, ‘parent_url’ => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->slug . ‘/’, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen’, ‘position’ => 40 ) );bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Home’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘test_sub’, ‘parent_url’ => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->slug . ‘/’, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->slug, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen’, ‘position’ => 20, ‘item_css_id’ => ‘test_activity’ ) );
function my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen() {
//add title and content here – last is to call the members plugin.php template
add_action( ‘bp_template_title’, ‘my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen_title’ );
add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen_content’ );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_core_template_plugin’, ‘members/single/plugins’ ) );
}
function my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen_title() {
echo ‘something’;
}
function my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen_content() {echo ‘weee content’;
}
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘my_test_setup_nav’ );
`There are too many options. There are 725 plugins tagged video for WordPress. Not all of these will work with BuddyPress.

You are better off testing plugins out. As for themes, you can use most WordPress themes with BuddyPress but you will have to adjust the code.
In reply to: Buddypress pages redirect to homepageDid you try to create another Admin account and test to see if the same thing is happening?
