We’ll see more patches from you in the future, yes?

@mercime I hope so.

@hnla For the patch I submitted, I had used https://buddypress.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/ Should I use https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk instead? Do the 2 URLs point to different resources?

Closing thread. Duplicate of:

Please don’t open more than one thread on a topic.

I think on balance I would tend now to favour going the theme compat route, as the process best to follow in all theme/site building respects, we added extended capabilities with the template hierarchy which make it more useful and the templates and styles were updated and improved.

But the other approach is perfectly valid and leaves full templates directly in your control.

Personally I like the the ability, though, of being able to neatly segregate BP templates under one root dir /community/ or /buddypress/

As for the js being the reasoning remember that both approaches essentially use copies of the same file/s so you still get those either way, one thing I’d like to see and may propose is the main js & ajax files being centralized as bp assets that both approaches could access rather than maintained separately in the theme folders – although that is the place they ought to live really.

This whole question of approach taken is one I’ve raised as there are confusing aspects and I want a codex guide that outlines the approaches on offer and brings some clarity to making choices, which we’ll pencil in to the new guides once Codex is straightened out.

The only certain way to find out if the theme is causing registration issue’s is to activate a known theme that works with BuddyPress like twenty twelve, or bp-befault and test it against registration and activation. If the issue is resolved after switching to one of these themes, then it is a theme issue and you would have to get support from that themes support forum should you choose to use it. Sometimes it is best to use a bare minimal theme when working with BP as the more code introduced by a heavy theme may have adverse issue’s when dealing with BP registration and activation. If you are familiar with the codex please review:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

Hello:

I am using the Akita theme (ThemeBlvd). I have installed the latest versions of WP, BP, and my theme.

I was expecting the latest version of BP to be compatible with my theme without any additional work.

However, after installing BP and assigning the initial pages during setup (members/register/ activate) the layout of the pages is not correct. There are no sidebars, and a site directory appears at the bottom of the page.

I have been looking for concise instructions on what needs to be done to finish the setup. I don’t have much experience doing advanced tasks, so I would like concise instructions that I can provide to someone with more skills.

@hughshields

This can only be explained as a huge job. You would need to know both CSS and HTML to achieve that. I’d suggest reading up on those two technologies if you’re just getting started. Some knowledge of PHP, JS and Ajax would be helpful too although you’d just need to know what parts of the templates are best to avoid messing with.

1. first create a folder in your hard drive e.g. buddypresstrunk/
2. Open that folder and then right-click and click on SVN Checkout in box which shows up
3. Then enter the link I gave above for BuddyPress trunk in the “URL Repository” input field which shows up and click OK button
4. Watch as files are added into that empty folder

@kingdgm

BuddyPress with the help of the right plugins from the WordPress plugin repository (https://wordpress.org/plugins/) can do everything you’ve mentioned.

11. Projects: Members can start projects and invite other members to join (kind of groups)

This is the one point I’m not sure about off the top of my head. It may need some custom code as I’m not aware of a plugin that does this.

@mercime Using Tortoise SVN.

Tried importing https://buddypress.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/ but getting

Error: POST of ‘/!svn/me’: 403 Forbidden (http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org)

@idavidson I apologize for hijacking your thread.

I’m also having the same issue. I even installed a fresh wp 3.6.1 and a fresh version of 1.8.1 with no other plugins.

Under BuddyPress pages this is no Register or Activate page available.

@henrywright-1 Why are you choosing to work that way rather than running with theme compat template files? You do have a choice no way is right or wrong though if running the older style template approach you would need to have declared add_theme_support( 'buddypress' ); to ensure js/ajax unlinked, there is an issue with this though in that BP tries to get this value too early so fails to bail out of the theme compat class, so it needs to be positioned outside of a hook such as ‘after_setup_theme’ to be run early enough for bp.
