In reply to: New theme – BuddyBuilder
The new BuddyBuilder v1.2 now includes over 160 customization options! (Geez… will it never end? Nope.)
Especially fun in this update is the Header Image Rotator: you can display up to 8 images in random or ordered rotation in your header, complete with animated descriptions. You have full control over image display time; fade-in/out speed; description size, location, animation speed… and much more.
See details here: http://buddylite.com/2011/notices/new-in-buddybuilder-v1-2/
Questions? Don’t be shy… ask here or in the BuddyBuilder forum at: http://buddylite.com/groups/premium-support/forum/
In reply to: Hmm, does anyone know how to get this view?You’re absolutely right! For a moment, I had completely forgotten about our prolific friend Brajesh. Shame on me
In reply to: Has anyone actually gotten BP to work ok?Here’s a bit of shameless self-promotion

Some pretty cool themes here: http://BuddyLite.comIn reply to: Hmm, does anyone know how to get this view?That’s a screenshot of the old bp-sn-parent theme that came bundled with the 1.1 releases of Buddypress. Way outdated. But you can recreate that look if you want to try your hand at making your own theme
In reply to: In Profile fieldsOops… my comment about “Required” fields is a bit (a lot?) misleading

Users will not be able to save their profile settings until all required fields are filled out… that’s what I meant by “trapped”
In reply to: In Profile fieldsThat’s a basic feature of profile fields. Go to “Profile Field Setup” in your backend and you’ll see this:
“NOTE: Any fields in the first group will appear on the signup page.”Simply click the “Add New Field Group” button and create the fields you want in that new group. They will not appear on the signup page, but will be available on the user’s Profile page.
Be careful with the “Required” setting though. If you set fields in new groups to “Required”, your users will be trapped on their profile page the first time they visit until they fill in all required fields.
In reply to: Life Cycle of a Group?That’s a very interesting idea for a plugin! Any takers?
In reply to: User uploaded Video, Picture and Music plug in?In reply to: URGENT – How To Set Default Values?This thread looks like it might have a workable solution for bp-custom.php. I haven’t tried it though…

Very cool… I was going to start playing around with the idea for my theme too. But I’ll wait for your plugin which will likely be infinitely more robust than my n00b brain could churn out
In reply to: BuddyPress Is FreeHow about ‘free’ to do whatever you want with it?
In reply to: ETA on Buddypress 1.3 – when will it be released?Hmm… kumbaya & patches… sounds like Buddypress Scout Troop #1 is planning a campout?
In reply to: navigation menus@idunno2day
lov yer handle!Always try to search the forums before asking a question that has very likely been asked before. You would have found this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/transforming-the-default-navigation-bar-activity-groups-members-etc-into-a-dropdown-menu/EDIT: you could also try a theme that already has custom menus enabled. Mine comes to mind

white-space:normal;
in your CSSFor details, see http://xahlee.org/js/css_text-wrap.html
In reply to: CSS Works in FireFox but not in Chrome, Opera and IENope. You can allow access to any user role with WP Maintenance Mode plugin.
In reply to: How to edit the mywebsite.com/groups pageLook in plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/blogs/index.php
In reply to: Static Post on Activity PageYou can add widget areas anywhere you like. See this tutorial to learn how: http://wpmu.org/how-to-widgetize-a-page-post-header-or-any-other-template-in-wordpress/
You should create a child-theme of bp-default first though to avoid having to redo all your modifications when you upgrade Buddypress: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
In reply to: User Listing in BuddyPress Side MenuWhy not simply use the “Members” widget in your sidebar?
In reply to: bp_adminbar_notifications_menuCool, I’m glad it worked out

How about creating a link to showcase your site at http://buddylite.com/linksIn reply to: User navigation modifications?This plugin will enable you to do that:

http://modemloop.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/buddypress-drop-down-menus/In reply to: New theme – BuddyBuilderYeah, maybe throw in some dancing queens or feverish saturday niters in the background to spruce it up even more!
In reply to: New theme – BuddyBuilderCheck out the new header image rotator coming in BuddyBuilder v1.2!
http://BuddyLite.comIn reply to: bp_adminbar_notifications_menuWhat theme are you using? Is it BuddyLite?
We’ve chatted a bit in the forums there, that’s why I ask.
