But how do i do the alignment? I used http://www.yvoschaap.com/wpthemegen/ to make my theme and i don’t know where to put the sidebar div………..since it looks like there’s one there but by a different name………this is the theme: http://tinyurl.com/28s8gtl
I love the idea. Such kind of “Dashboard” would definitely enhanced the network stickiness of all users and can make it easier for them to “follow” their latest activities or in case of “inactivity” to inspire them to contribute “something”, e.g. “join the conversation”.
To my opinion such a dashboard should be flexibel for each user. Starting with a set of standard content/data aggregation (simple: “Forum threads I created”, “Forum threads …”) maybe 5 X. For User with more and/or other interests in X, they can flexibel create their dashboard to a maximum, of maybe 10 X.
For example, my interests are in the field of X`s which belong in the space of Group-Activity. What is happening in the Groups which i am following? Track the Group.
Because of my plans for a new web project. I would donate or spend some amount for developing such a plugin.
(By the way I am looking/hiring for buddypress web/plugin dev’s (freelance) – pm me)
It works now 
I use the code from @Travel-Junkie
by Functions:
function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;
if ( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() )
return;
if( ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain .’/’. BP_REGISTER_SLUG );
}
add_action( ‘get_header’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );
and by header:
do_action( ‘sh_walled_garden’ )
Now I gonna make some changes by Register.
Thanks a lot @ray and @Travel-Junkie
You mean the links aren’t appearing in the main nav menu? Add them to your theme’s header.php.
Good idea for future enhancement. As I can’t move this post to the ideas forum, could I ask you please @intimez to post this on https://trac.buddypress.org/ with your username + password from this site as a future enhancement suggestion? Thanks
Example: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=%2B”is+proudly+powered+by+WordPress+and+BuddyPress”; (front page of every BP site on the net)
Example: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=inurl:%22/community/members/%22+%2Bbuddypress (members page of every BP site on the net)
Very much behind this, but I will mention that changing those two things are the first thing I’ve done with my BP installs (along with other stuff I mentioned in the article I did for the I-guess-it’s-not-coming-back bp-tricks.org). Agree that an install routine that forces the user to customize their slugs (explaining possibly consequences if they don’t) would be a great idea.
I have hit a problem with the drop down menu. I have been using David’s code successfully and adjusted it to my needs, but only noticed now that Internet Explorer does not show the menu correctly. It gets covered up by the main page I don’t understand why or how to fix it. It works in FireFox and Chrome though.
If someone could point me in the right direction please, that would be great.
Thank you for your help and replies. I added the define to my wp-config.php. That did not solve my problem.
1. With no users or blogs in the system other than the site-wide blog and admin user, visiting “blogs.corp.lan” takes me to the Corp Blog. From there, I can click on the Activity / Members / Groups / … etc. tabs, taking me to “blogs.corp.lan/activity”, “blogs.corp.lan/members”, … etc. pages. This looks good.
2. Now, after I login as a user, the user’s page gets created (but unfortunately with the WordPress mu Homepage (Kubrick) theme, even though I have disabled all themes other than the BuddyPress default theme). After I go to the user’s dashboard and change the theme to the BP default theme, and visit the user’s site, it takes me to “blogs.corp.lan/username”. Great, that’s what I expect from a WPMU installation. However, from the User’s home blog, clicking on Activity takes us to “blogs.corp.lan/username/activity”, saying Page Not Found, The page you were looking for was not found. Same with the other BP tabs (Members, Groups, Forums, Blogs). This is not desired.
Is it possible to set up my installation so that the BP tabs are global for all blogs in my corporate lan? That is, from ANY blog for ANY logged in user, clicking on “Members” should take us to “blogs.corp.lan/members”, not “blogs.corp.lan//members”.
Also, and I realize this is a different question, how do I configure it so that the BP theme is the default theme when a new user authenticates?
Thank you for your help. I greatly appreciate it.

For stuff like this, the fastest and easiest thing to do is just look at the template files you’ll be modifying for your child theme, the stuff in bp-themes/bp-default to see how it’s done. Have a look at /bp-themes/bp-default/members/index.php for example.
You probably want bp_get_loggedin_user_fullname(). See here, too: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-discussions/buddypress-template-tags/
In addition, if you want the new Admin that you might have added only via “Users > Add New” to have Site Admin privileges, then you must also add said new Admin’s username in “Site Admin > Options > Administration Settings – Site Admin” box and Save options.
Yeah, this is an annoyance, and a WordPress thing as opposed to something that can be changed in BP. Users can, of course, case their display names however they like, but the actual login must be lowercase with no non-alpha characters. And Buddypress will only send @notifications to the login name, as opposed to the display name. (In other words, @moddedlife will notify you, but @Justin won’t, and may send a notification to completely the wrong person, if it works at all) I’ve reported other issues surrounding that too, but since the redesign of this site, I can’t find anything, or I’d link to it.
The login/display name thing is suboptimal and potentially very confusing for users, but I don’t know if there are any plans to do anything about it.
@Andrea_r, I was thinking about the same thing. Perhaps a coding guru who can create a multi-site plugin for WPMU can make a multi-site plugin for BP? (hint, hint) 
@wa007 No problem. There are a few threads as well where people have offered advice on doing this sort of thing, or if you get stuck, ask back in here.
@boone In theory 
@r-a-y and that is the big question. Also, that doesn’t take existing mu installs into account.
like I mentioned in chat, even if the bare minimum in core was a function to hook into so a further plugin could do the bulk of the work, that’d be awesome.
But the brainy programmer guys have to figure that bit out.
What would be better is if you created a page with video and tutorials, then you could use something like this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-make-a-private-community/?topic_page=3&num=15#post-44729
Just change bp_core_redirect() to the page you want to redirect your users to if they’re not logged in.
How did you install the plugin?
Can you try removing BuddyPress and re-uploading the files manually via https://buddypress.org/download ?
You’re talking about on buddypress.org, correct?
You’ll have to manually remove the “forums” tab from the theme’s header.php.
Also, I see that you simply copied over the default theme to your themes directory. Please create a child theme to make your changes. Read the linked article to find out why!
@dfcppnfounder – Your directory structure should look like this – “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/”. BP files reside in this folder and not in “wp-content/plugins”.
I just replied to a topic about Virtual Multiblog. It treats each WP blog separately – including userbase, themes, plugins, login. So you could potentially have multiple, separate BP installs running on one set of WordPress files.
It does require a little knowledge of symlinks and vhosts, also not sure how things like the new multi-site functionality in WP 3.0 will work with Virtual Multiblog… but it’s an alternative!
@andrea_r Your use case is a pretty sensible one. Can’t believe you’d suggest that one CUNY school has no interest in the others, though
@stwc I’ve been keeping that old favorite link open in a tab in a separate browser i don’t use much so I don’t loose those, lol.
