BuddyPress.org

@odyssey ~ thanks for the nice writeup – one other step that I’ve found helpful in a merge is to call a custom – bp-header.php in the bp dependent files to reduce a bit of weight on the non bp pages, reduce any instances of javascript conflicts, increase the design and flexibility of the BuddyPress pages, and use bp specific functions(<?php bp_page_title() ?> in the alternate header.php ~ so I swapped out the get_header’s, sidebar’s, footers on the default theme with these ~<?php locate_template( array( ‘bp-header.php’ ), true ) ?> or <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/bp_header.php’); ?>
