We need more BuddyPress themes, but can’t really say I like the colors and all that shadow..

Other then that, it’ll probably be a good template to work out off. Keep at it.

Use poEdit.

I’m guessing that if you can login with your facebook account, you can also login with openID.
Perhaps you can rewrite the plugin?

Note: This plugin probably doesnt work with the latest and greatest WordPress 3.x and Buddypress 1.2.5.x

html, body { background: #fff !important; }

Cant get it easier then that.

[@xevo Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

You need a lot of memory for a buddypress on a wpmu/wp install.
Get some more. Try 64 or 128.

If your have a big community your gonna need a lot either way.

CSS in combination with Firefox + Firebug.

[@xevo Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

Same here.

[@xevo Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

@nahummadrid I tried the same thing, found out that it was way too much work.

Either wait till BP Album+ is done or wait for WP3.0 with its custom post types.

[@xevo Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

BP Album+ has promised to do something of the like as well in a future update.

[@xevo Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

Have bbPress 1.0.2, BuddyPress 1.2.4 and WordPress 3.0 beta running fine. Haven’t seen any problem yet.

Almost gonna do beta, so I’ll find out what problems will show up.

Trying to get your e-mail adres or just a sloppy topic from someone who doesn’t know marketing.

Delete/Spam anyone?

[@xevo Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

Wouldn’t it be better to rebuild bbPress the way you want it and let the CMS stuff over to WP3.0?

Really think it’s a waste of time to try integrating two totally different softwares.

[@xevo Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

Ask this on WordPress.org? Don’t see why this is a Buddypress issue.

Anyway, why not install wp 3.0b and use custom post type?

[@xevo Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

BuddyPress is basicly just like any other plugin, just upload and install.
Although you might want to change your theme to fully make use of buddypress.

You can also set your theme to keep your client blog posts on the frontpage.

[@xevo Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

+1 for using wp 3.0 fully.

Everythings possible as long as you can code it (or when your wallet is big enough).

This might help you out a bit, but to get all your specific functions, you’ll have to do some coding.

@shnooka30
If someone wants to make a monster buddypress install with small buddypress installs beneath it, let him.
He’ll soon realise that it won’t work that way.

Originality and feature rich buddypress installs will prevail.

[@xevo Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

Tried it, doesn’t work with recent wordpress and recent phpBB, let alone buddypress.

[@xevo Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Isn’t BuddyPress just using bbPress as a core foundation for its group forums? So rather than supporting bbPress, isn’t BuddyPress using bbPress?

Also, I disagree that bbPress is just a concept, seeing that development has restarted again.
I have used bbPress in the past as a wordpress forum since its easy to change and easy to template when you know how to make templates for wordpress. Other than simplepress forums and phpBB which are a pain to change cause of the new learning curve and phpBB is almost not integratable with wordpress.

I’m working on a solution to intergrate bbPress with BuddyPress, dropping the group forums (I hate those).

[@xevo Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

It’s pretty easy to do with just a normal wordpress page and a custom template for that page.

[@xevo Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

I agree with peterverkooijen and scotm.
Forget the easy admin, build a solid core and a flexible API for developers.

If someone wants an easy admin panel, let someone build a plugin for buddypress that allows them to do that with a theme.

@finni3 Communities are never straight out of the box and they shouldn’t be.

[@xevo Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Ask the guys over at wpmudev to help you out?

[@xevo Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Install wordpress and deep intergrate bbPress into it, then install buddypress on your wordpress and presto.
Make sure that your deep intergration with bbPress works before you install buddypress though.

THIS WILL NOT intergrate your bbpress into buddypress. So topics/posts in bbpress won’t show up in your activity stream for example.

[@xevo Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Yes.
