There’s a plugin available that stops the registration emails and auto-activates accounts available at BuddyDev.com but it’s a premium plugin (site membership = $30/3 months).
In reply to: Hide Notification SettingsYou’re welcome! Glad it worked out.
In reply to: Hide Notification SettingsDoh! (he says… with a hearty slap to the forehead). I had forgotten to remove the `current_component` condition.
Change the “if” line of the code to this:
`if ( $bp->settings->slug ) {`
It’ll work just fine now.
In reply to: Hide Notification SettingsOK, I’m hoping someone else can chime in here with a way to remove the “Notifications” subnav item from the “My Account” adminbar menu, ‘cuz that’s one I haven’t been able to figure out
In reply to: Hide Notification SettingsTo remove the notifications subnav item, add the following snippet to your functions.php file:
`function remove_notifications_subnav(){
global $bp;
if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->settings->slug ) {
bp_core_remove_subnav_item($bp->settings->slug, ‘notifications’);
}
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘remove_notifications_subnav’, 2 );`This is a simple function taken from this post by @mariochampion

In reply to: Hide Notification SettingsAdd the following remove_action to your functions.php or bp-custom.php file:
remove_action( ‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_notifications_menu’, 8 );
In reply to: Fixing AlignmentFirst of all, edit the post you just made and put every code snippet between backticks ‘cuz the way you have it posted now, there are things missing and the page layout is all screwed up.
In reply to: Choosing pages to be in the top navigationThe bp-default theme does not yet support WP3 custom menus, but it will with Buddypress v1.3. In the meantime – and this is a good idea at all times – use a child-theme that does support custom menus.
In reply to: What Is XProfile?Ya beat me to it!
In reply to: What Is XProfile?No, uploading an avatar is the second step in the registration process. Once a user fills out the form on your signup page (filling in all the fields you define in “Profile Field Setup – Base Group”) and clicks the “Complete Sign Up” button, the next page they see will allow them to upload their avatar. Users can also change their avatar right in their member’s profile after they have registered on your site.
You’ll need to increase the filesize upload limits. See this post for some helpful tips:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/installing-buddypress-1-2-6-to-wordpress-3-0-1/In reply to: What Is XProfile?Like @modemlooper said, xprofile fields are added through your WordPress backend admin area (MUCH easier than trying to hack your way through register.php).
Go to “Buddypress” > “Profile Field Setup” and add your registration fields there. Any fields you add in the first (“Base”) group will appear on your registration page.
In reply to: Modularity liteYour frustration is understandable, especially since Modularity Lite is not a Buddypress-ready theme.
Have you tried contacting the theme author for help?
Have you been using the Buddypress Template Pack to modify your theme’s templates for Buddypress?You can also try other, easier to modify themes that are Buddypress-ready.
I’ve put one together called BuddyLite that has a few one-click options like one or two sidebars, a full-page template (no sidebars), and more. http://buddylite.com/buddylite-basic/
There’s also a premium version – BuddyBuilder – with over 100 options so you can customize the heck out of it! http://buddylite.com/buddybuilder/In reply to: Do these plugins exist…1) s2member. You’ll likely need to download the zip and upload to your site via ftp ‘cuz it’s a huge plugin.

2) Buddypress includes a private messaging system (kinda like internal email) but there are a few chat plugins available too. See this post:

“…sadly all a bit stresfull at the moment trying to work with latest revison of 1.3/3.1.”
I hear ya! It’s strangely comforting to know I’m not the only one
In reply to: http://premium.wpmudev.org/ Legitamate?I think your last question is moot. Developers will very often create plugins and offer them free under GPL license. Just take a look at the WP plugin repo where you’ll find over 13,000 free plugins: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
But anytime you request something be created or custom-built, it’s best to offer some form of compensation; whether you want some coding done, or a deck built in your backyard

Take a look at Brajesh’s Global Search. It has functions to return search results for forums, blogs, members, groups and site pages/posts.

In reply to: Ant release date set for BP1.3?That’s exactly what I was going to do.

That way, if (and when) things go haywire, one can revert back to a previous version to help track down the impact changes to BP have had in a theme, and what needs to be fixed.In reply to: Ant release date set for BP1.3?Thanks for the input guys! And hnla is right, I had neglected to account for the refactoring time required by JJJ. My bad

I also have a test site running WP3.0.* & BP1.3 trunk (that needs to be updated again this weekend as per the above suggestion) and themes are working OK so far there. So, I guess I’ll continue with updates on that install.In reply to: buddypress.org themeIt’s a custom theme designed specifically for bp.org. You can find several good themes here: https://buddypress.org/extend/themes/
Or Google ‘buddypress themes’ for more.You might also like my BuddyLite theme. It comes with the following basic customization options:
Maximum & Minimum Theme Width
Header Height
Theme Background Color, Image, Image Repeat & Image Behavior
Show Home Page Title and Content
Community Dropdown Menu Label
Integrate BP-Adminbar with Main Menu
Select ‘Global Search’ or Standard Buddypress Search
Search Bar in Header or in Sidebar
Sidebar Left, Right or Left and Right
Main & Secondary Sidebar Width
Hide Sidebar Login Form
Custom CSSThere’s also a premium version – BuddyBuilder – that comes with a whole heck of a lot more options so you can actually design your own theme by simply clicking your mouse. See them both at http://BuddyLite.com
In reply to: BP-MarkItUp 0.1 enables markItup! in your buddypressDid you check the first link? It works…
In reply to: http://premium.wpmudev.org/ Legitamate?Can’t really compare the two ‘cuz they have completely different products. For instance, WPMUdev is geared mainly toward WordPress with BP as an afterthought, while BuddyDev caters pretty much exclusively to users of BP.
