BuddyPress.org

@chrismitchell You will only see the menu if you use WordPress MU.

I tried using the bp-custom.php file in the wp-content/plugins/ folder, but I could not get it to work.

Could anyone upload an example version of this that I could tinker with to fit my needs?

My problem is I am running WordPress 3.0 RC1, with WPMU and Buddypress installed. Avatars work on the main blog, but not on sub-blogs, so I need to figure this out. For the sub-blogs only the Mystery Man appears.

try this (same principal)

You could try this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-coming-soon-page/

It has options to allow visitors to subscribe via email, link to your Twitter/Facebook pages, launch date countdown…

@ffemtkl – to customize those emails, what about trying this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/new-user-email-set-up/

When you were importing info, were you importing checkbox data? That was alsop problematic for me and I have no idea what format I should prepare that data so it goes in nicely….

@mercime
the first blog is wp 2.9.1, other, not working, is 2.9.2 and bp 1.2.4.1. the second one is installed in a separate folder.

@Kayze87
did you delete it from the first blog? i can’t really delete anything from the fist blog, where i’m also using a shopp plugin

@Nick Watson: Sorry for using the thread but I still haven’t figured out how to add new navigation items to the admin bar. I would for example like to add WP categories and some hard coded links in the admin bar. How do I do?

An index.html is fine, just go to http://yoursite.com/index.php to reach front page. Bad thing is that if someone knows your site is WP/BP, they would just go to http://yoursite.com/members , /groups/ or /about/ and they could see the pages if you’ve enabled the components.
Maintenance Mode plugin works with WP/MU/BP. Thing is, it interferes with media uploads via BP plugins like BP Gallery or BP Album but it doesn’t interfere with media uploads via Post/Page panel. Good thing with this is that even if outsiders try to access site via http://yoursite.com/members etc, they won’t be able see the page/s and get redirected back to Maintenance Mode front page.

Hi-
Exact same thing with me! I understand how to change but absolutely nothing will take effect.
I was changing the files in the bp_template-pack folder but you actually need to change the files (for example the first one in step 3) here:

/wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/activity/index.php

Took me to reading step 3, 50 times before this was apparent- not sure if this is what was happening to you but this was my problem.. anyways hope that helps…

Try this plugin – http://teleogistic.net/code/buddypress/bp-group-management/

@themeanwhile – you can enable or disable the various components so if you want Activities only, enable that and disable other components. After you activate BuddyPress, go to the new BuddyPress menu item on the left column of dashboard, and go to

a) General Settings – these are your choices
Base profile group name:
Full Name field name:
Disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing?: Yes No
Hide admin bar for logged out users?: Yes No
Disable avatar uploads? (Gravatars will still work): Yes No
Disable user account deletion?: Yes No
Disable global forum directory?: Yes No
Disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts?: Yes No
Default User Avatar – For users without a custom avatar of their own, you can either display a generic logo or a generated one based on their email address

b) Component Setup
Activity Streams – Allow users to post activity updates and track all activity across the entire site.
Enabled Disabled
Blog Tracking – Tracks blogs, blog posts and blogs comments for a user across a WPMU installation.
Enabled Disabled
bbPress Forums – Activates bbPress forum support within BuddyPress groups or any other custom component.
Enabled Disabled
Friends – Allows the creation of friend connections between users.
Enabled Disabled
Groups – Let users create, join and participate in groups.
Enabled Disabled
Private Messaging – Let users send private messages to one another. Site admins can also send site-wide notices.
Enabled Disabled
Extended Profiles – Activates customizable profiles and avatars for site users.
Enabled Disabled

I would suggest you set up a test install so you can check the features for yourself.

“Of course, activity filters, profile page, friends page, settings page, etc, would also need to be migrated to display in the backend.”
Why? If you want to make the BP Activity section private, you can add conditional tags for is_user_logged_in …

@jon, try this in your child theme’s css:

#wp-admin-bar {
top:inherit;
bottom:0;
}

you still have to change the drop down menu to rise up though. But it is a start….
