oopsss…now a different issue…
@r-a-y
I made changes in bp-core-avatars to fetch avatars from uploads/group-avatars/[group-id] folder
Removed the height property so that the images will be fetched and displayed as per their width and the height will be adjusted accordingly….the problem is that this is working fine for some groups, and not working at all for some others….
the ones where it is working, the path of the image (when u see copy image url) — /uploads/group-avatars/[group-id]/[group-id].jpg
the ones where it is not working, the path stops at —> /uploads/group-avatars/[group-id]
Here is the code to the modified br-core-avatars.php I am using….

Found a solution for this on trac, works fine now.

@slaffik – The code doesn’t do anything by itself. Sorry for not being clear!
You also need to add the favorite / unfavorite code from bp-default/activity/entry.php to each blog theme’s single.php.
I could have hooked the favorite button to “the_content”, but decided to give theme designers some flexibility this way.
@r-a-y
I can’t make your plugin working for my installation (WPMU 2.9.2 + BP 1.2.4.1).
easy change via the theme file – you’ll need to edit whateverchildtheme/groups/single/forum/topic.php and comment out the if statement for bp_get_the_topic_is_last_page()
Hey, I haven’t seen this question asked in months; it used to be asked every week. 
I suppose that means the default theme is getting better.
To answer the OP’s question: No, the buddypress.org theme will not be shared.
A smartphone (iphone/ android) theme would be a very good contribution to a social cms like buddypress and I think that this task is so important that it should be developed by the core developers( @apeatling @MrMaz). Iphone & Android users will rapidly grow very strong (e.g. gowalla, foursquare) which they already have, and since buddypress is a social script it fits perfectly into mobile interaction. Imagine that mobile users could interact with their buddies (friends) using geolocation capabilities.
This awesome feature would lift buddypress into a new dimension.
An iphone/ android app might be better than just a mobile website. I have heard that coding with Titanium Mobile (http://developer.appcelerator.com/doc/mobile/get_started) would make this app task easier.
What do you think?
@pjnu it’s a simple edit plus a few additional steps once the menu items have been activated for the dashboard by the config change. If you already have a WPMU setup WP 3.0 detects that and you shouldn’t have to go through the MS setup procedure.

Thank you both. It seems like WPMU 2.9.2 is the safest bet. I hope the WP 3.0 normal release will continue to let me have multiple blogs with my clients.
@intimez that’s good to know that it’s a simple edit. I’m sure that it will be a FAQ item or topic of discussion when we cross that bridge.
I think that I read somewhere that @apetling was reticent to do that since he didn’t want tons of other BP sites popping up that would look the same as this site. Which kind of makes sense so that it doesn’t confuse people that don’t know the difference. Maybe he’d be willing to publish parts of the code to help you get close.
resolved….
i used a different approach but nevertheless, the problem is solved
thanks anyway @r-a-y you’ve always been helpful
Here’s a tweaked version of @dnxpert ‘s code that works on WPMU (don’t use this on single WP):
http://pastebin.com/Qfichf0t (paste in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php) (updated 06/12/2010 – 12:27am GMT)
The positives with my code is you can use the favorite / unfavorite code from bp-default/activity/entry.php verbatim without duplicating the favorite functions.
For the devs: If anyone knows a way around using the switch_to_blog() function, let me know; I used switch_to_blog() because of the generated nonce code.
Hi @r-a-y
Its again you to my rescue!
Thanks. Yeah I had looked up on Bp_core_fetch_avatar function in bp-core-avatars.php file, and that it has a parameter ‘object’ => with the comment that we can use it if we are using filter.
Its just that I could not figure out how to do it. Tried few things unsuccessfully.
Would it be possible for you to guide me here. Lets say I am uploading my avatars in the standard file-size in some folder in the format “grpavtr_(group_id).png”, then how do I do it…. Have been stuck with this problem (and one more) for a week now… 
I am sure I would go out and have a beer once I’m done with this…. 
@ovizii – I deleted your other post in the FAQ. No need to post in two places.
Your bug is a known one in WP 3.0.
@seanbaugh What I posted above was for two single WP installs. I have to add that if you’re going to do the above, make sure that the 1st WP install and the 2nd WP install have the same versions. So if existing install is WP 2.9.2, then your second install must also be WP 2.9.2 – can’t guarantee it will work if you use different versions. Just backup your 1st install’s database first if you want to experiment with different versions.
@chucksweatt
If anyone is looking for this, I have written a simple solution to the problem where I mimic the Activity stream “Favorite” feature from the single.php theme file of my blog theme to allow marking blog posts as favorite…
http://www.dnxpert.com/2010/06/11/mark-blog-post-as-favorite-in-buddypress/
This way, I don’t create any new tables and I don’t break anything – as I hope that marking a blog post as favorite will become a key feature of BP in the future.

Before I did this, I was only getting a error 500 when I would try to activate BuddyPress, now I get it as soon as I log onto my website…
@ella
Copy groups/single/group-header.php to your child theme. You can then edit it the way you want.
@foralien thanks, works like a charm….
@him666, you have to create one. It goes in the plugins folder
