1) I haven’t checked it yet, but FaceBuddy that was my first theme is only a graphical reskinning of Buddy Press (no hardcoding in no page), and so every issue with code i presume is an issue with BP. Maybe try with your default theme and tell me if it works. I remember that the updated version of FaceBuddy is based on the 1281 trunk.
2) i know..some people want them, and i hope to do something in the future for bbpress. Actually the simple remaking (and updating) of themes is a big work (making free themes isn’t a job, and so i can’t work from 9 to 5 to them), and i’ve never installed bbpress. My priority is creating new themes for BP, maybe when the official 1 version will be out i’ll start seeing bbpress but i can’t be sure for now.
i’m not sure to have understood: you want that home, blog, members etc will appear on the top of your page, and then the search and login will appear down of it?
In this case you should edit the header.php file in the theme folder inverting the order, and then hacking a bit with the css.
ok, we’re gonna to see the light, i’m making all required changes and keeping them working, if you wish i could write a little documentation after this. I’ve only a question: the signup button now leads to the WMPU registration page and not to the buddypress register. Could you tell me if i’m doing something bad or if this is an upgrade issue?
Thanx Andy, i’m sure that the final version will be a great success.
hi Andy, after having this issue i’ve rembered your mail that anticipated the changes. But in my opinion downloading the latest trunk with no indication in sticky posts or in the readme.txt is a pain (yes,i’m receiving a lot of emails from theme users).
I hope to see a sticky post with documentation for this upgrade: it will be very useful. I think that directories must be styled from directory.css in the bp-theme?
i’m looking for an emergency solution: keep only the images and css folder and the footer files both of facebuddy home and member, and upgrade all the other files with the latest trunk. I’m trying and i’ll let you know if it works completely
i\\\’m looking at the latest trunk, and there is some issue. I correctly see themes but there are issues with the main links: Groups and Members pages that was previously ruled from the home theme, now seem ruled from the bp-theme. I\\\’ll try to understand what happens, but i think that it will be a problem to release new themes until the stable BP version, because users cannot modify their themes to suit every new trunk version.
updated: as first you can change the <body> in your header.php file in the theme, with: <body<?php if ( bp_is_directory() ) : ?> class=\”directory\”<?php endif; ?>>. this solves the header link problems.
in the “home theme” too there are link changes: for example <?php if ( bp_is_page( MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {?> becomes <?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {?> and so on.
i’ve just installed the latest trunk, and the facebuddy (member) theme works perfectly. Are u sure to have activated the member theme from here: site admin > buddypress >facebuddy?
Hi Halfpint i’ve replied to your mail: the latest trunk of BP requires a change in the folder name, you can follow instructions in the sticky post of Andy Peatling.
I’ll wait the release of the first official version of BP for renaming theme folders in my themes, in order to be sure that they will be stable.
hi guys, always me. I’ve noticed than putting echo $bp->root_domain; in the href, it reloads the actual page i’m visiting. Surely Andy is in right, maybe could be a problem of my installation? I only need linking to my main blog homepage, from other sub blogs.
yes, in the example there is written if ( is_page( ‘about’ ) and so when you are watching the about page it selects HOME also. I presume you can change it in:
if are u using a language different from english, upgrade to the latest trunks of buddypress (not RC1) and re add widgets. If u are using default english language then the problem is different.
yes i know, but i’m working on a particular blog: users need to have all the same ready made interface, thay are not allowed to activate or deactivate widgets in that area. This will be a free theme/application that i’ll share as usual with the community
