hi, for update i not yet update gift plugin because I am coding new buddypress badge plugin (just finished it) so next version for buddypress gift will pospond to the next week.
if anyone interest to test badge plugin (before upload to wp) you can get it from my blog.
You are right, I forgot the forums.
I will add %%componentforumtopic%% for the forum topic title and %%componentforumtopictext%% for the entry.
What else should be in? Any idea?
%%current_component%% for the current component
%%current_action%% for the current action
I will have time for this at Tuesday.
Thanks a lot for testing!
Lol, joomla and drupal should give up already. 
oh please do try it out.. it would be really great
maybe someone would convert it into plugin or something also!
It would be very easy to modify your forum code so that only registered members can view posts. You could say “if the current user is not logged in, display a ‘sorry’ message, else proceed with setting up and displaying the forum posts. You could even set it up so they could view a few teaser posts at the top, and then display the ‘you must login’ message. I may in fact try this out on a few groups!
The bp-default theme is not located in wp-content/themes. It is in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes.
You need to create a page in the admin called home and choose a page template.
If you use %%componentname%% as the title for a forum topic, it doesn’t use “Replaced with component name(title of the entry)”
It uses the name of the Group and not the topic title.
There is a valid reason why I put it in a sub-directory – as every instruction suggest to do so, and that’s how I’ve always installed WP (with a modification to the .htaccess file).
I’ve moved the files to the root but the installation is shot to pieces now so I might as well start again.
I check back to see if this fixes things.
Thanks
Hello,
To be more recise and complete my question, I do know that they are some more sophisticated preminum (in WP language, premium means “you have to pay for”) themes around. And even if its for personal non commerical web site i could afford to pay a few money.
But these premium themes are very very classical, a little bit like wp theme some years ago (I don’t intedn at all to be agressive it’s just my personal opinion).
I’m looking for something more dynamic, more graphicaly appealing (I currently use trhliingtheme with the buddypack at http://velofun.fr )
I’m looking for something more in the spirit of sites in the demo page ( https://buddypress.org/demo/ )

http://www.jfusion.org/ should make this possible; in the 2.0 version anyhow, which you currently gotta get from the source as its not 100% done yet.
I see, thanks for the info
I am going to experiment first with facestream.. for some reason i get an error when try to set it up..

with this Facebook Connect plugin it creates a member in BP, so even if you remove the plugin their account stays:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-fb-autoconnect
with phpbb it was easy to grow numbers.. because there was an option to restrict access.. to registered members only..
buddypress does not have this though
people can read all posts without registration there is invite on,y and hidden forum.. but it is not the same as
register to view..
i think that;s missing feature by the way
re facebook login — I want them to be registered with me, not only with facebook haha 
– unless I misunderstand..
re hosting,, is it fast? to me it seems on the slow side,
so I am glad you said that.. guys who were helping me out had to install some plugins to optimize it.. etc..
it is on dedicated server / litespeed
If you’re comfortable with the loop, check out the bp_has_forum_topics() function located in /buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-templatetags.php.
Unfortunately this isn’t documented in the BP codex, but if you check out /bp-themes/bp-default/forums/forums-loop.php, you should have a good idea of how to construct a recent topics loop.
Hope that gives you a few pointers to go on.
Ok, I think I’m close to knowing what I want; But I don’t seem to be much closer to getting there.
Unfortunately, I think my main problem is that the members loop isn’t flexible enough in its parameters for what I want (I want to add it to a child template and for it to automatically show the users of the current blog AND their xprofile information. Seems simple, but I’m lost).
I could hand code in each of users ID’s and get the exact output I want, but this means I have to make a new template for each blog/”art project”, and it doesn’t update automatically when a new artist is added to a project.
There’s hope in the group members loop (I’m using the BP Groupblog plugin, so when users join a group, they are added to a blog), but I still have to enter in the group_id manually in the template.
<?php if ( bp_group_has_members('group_id=1') ) : ?>
<?php while ( bp_group_members() ) : bp_group_the_member(); ?>
<?php $authorBio = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Bio', $user_id=bp_group_member_id() );
echo 'Authors bio: '. $authorBio; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif;?>
But as it is, it outputs: 11Authors bio: 10Authors bio: 9Authors bio: 8Authors bio: 7Authors bio: 5Authors bio:
Should I scratch the whole thing and find a new route?
Valid point… maybe when a forum post is displayed, the footer can show a bbPress backlink?
Contact the BP dev team on IRC (http://java.freenode.net/?channel=buddypress-dev) or add a ticket to Trac (https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket).
Locking thread.
PM timbo85 for more info.
That theme isn’t showing the multiple sidebars in the main page even though they are visible in the widget customization screen..
I would recommend asking Brajesh, the theme author. He does answer comments regularly about the theme at his site –
I can do it, not all themes work with that plugin.
@stwc – might be a bug somewhere. Instead of using <?php locate_template( array( 'forums/index.php' ), true ); ?> try copy and paste code directly to your Home Page Template https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.3/bp-themes/bp-default/forums/index.php
It’s also very fast – what are you hosting on?
