You do this in a child theme, please see the BP codex for guidance on how to create a child theme (easy!)

Mercime has shown you how and where it’s not really php coding it’s a matter of copy pasting .
Thanks a lot!
Is there anyway to do this without touching buddypress’s core?
I am not really good at php, could you tell me where do I have to put this code? 
Thanks in advance
Turn on debugging, as I spotted a few deprecated functions pop up in warnings.
Uploading to repo is probably best slowed down it’s tempting to upload at every change but it’s inevitable that the quicker you rush to upload the more likely the second after you realise you forgot to change version numbers and a hundred other little things
Ok so I recently bought BP-Magazine and tried to install it. Ive been using Buddypress for a while and have never gotten an issue. after I click install i get this error code
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring() (previously declared in /hermes/bosweb/web203/b2034/ipg.undergroundnjcom/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php:20) in /hermes/bosweb/web203/b2034/ipg.undergroundnjcom/wp-content/themes/bp-magazine/_inc/ajax.php on line 63
Cant figure out what that means. any help??
the website im adding it to is http://www.UndergroundNJ.com
lol need to upload a new version again.. ganna rather wait a day or two and sort out things poperly
nicely done ,thanks for sharing
The fact that the sidebars may vary in length as well as the centre content makes life harder overlapping borders works but will still result in an apparent miss-match if one sidebar is longer than the other as is the case presently. Really your only two options are using a graphic (create a border take a slice of it of a few pixels but not too few 10 or 2 wide by ~20 high add an extra div as a child of the main #content / #container (parent that wraps content and sidebars) and then you add a background to each of these two divs and use position to place the graphic in from the edges by the sidebar width alternatively you could try a technique that can work but also can lead to issues depending on the layout: give the sidebars a huge amount of bottom padding, then an equal amount of negative bottom margin and overflow hidden on the parent element rn the borders on the sidebars rather than the center element.
guys it is very easy!
Go to buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-templatetags.php
change the number in the line 172
‘per_page’ => 20, // number of items per page
Hello,
Does anyone want to work on a project with me, most of the work I need doing is just to customise the signup process and profiles for a music related social site. I think the most complicated part would be adding Youtube videos to the profile when the user provides a link or video code. I created a couple of projects on freelance websites but haven’t add much action on any of them. I can pay up to $500 if you have good experience and can get most of the work done by early May.
Let me know, Cheers.
@naijaping links at the top of the first post
where can i download this theme please
I just uploaded a new version, still in beta but making a few improvements. Note that if you have any questions, read the readme.txt first.
@hnla Im still searching regarding Faux columns, though if you could maybe have a look at the theme in the mean time I could reach a solution sooner.
Thanks and cheers
i was just wondering about this issue, because i have a community that i want to keep at “buddypress default.” in other words, it’s an “out the box community” however, i’d like it if the comments would nest. i’m at v. 1.2.6 and have not upgraded to 1.2.8, basically cuz it doesn’t say a new version is available under plugins.
Hi there, BuddyPress developers! I’m developing a little plugin that checks the post format (WP 3.1) and if the format is say, “image”, changes the activity type from ‘new_blog_post’ to ‘new_image_post’. My intention is to then use a custom activity stream to show a gallery of image posts. So far everything works as it should.
However, if I update the original post, a new activity item is created instead of simply updating the existing one. I can’t figure out why this is happening, since simply changing the activity type shouldn’t effect this at all. I’m using the ‘bp_activity_type_before_save’ filter to modify the type.
Here’s my code:
`
function pbpf_filter_activity( $type, $activity ) {
// get the current post format
$format = get_post_format( $activity->secondary_item_id );
// return the original type if no format is set
if ( false === $format )
return $type;
return ‘new_’. $format .’_post’;
}
add_filter(‘bp_activity_type_before_save’, ‘pbpf_filter_activity’);
`
I still need to clean the theme up a bit more, left some of my personal-project stuff in there >.<
@treis if you have a look at the Buddybar widget, I have simply copied most of whats in the widget to the static-sidebar. Personally I think its a bit too much going on hence I focused it on the ‘user’.
I have added modemloopers ‘drop-down menu’ functionality so if you would like, you can simply the main navigation by having ‘community’ and groups, members, activity all under the ‘community tab’. Im just ganna finish up some things and i will upload it.
I will post some css you can use to modify the header..
I would advise not working off it as of yet, once I have a ‘stable’ version I will let you know. If you make any changes, they will be over-written when you upgrade the theme. I will try get round to it later on today. I modified the them in a day and released it the same day hence I over-looked some things.
I needed to change the path in the settings, there has been a missing “/” after the domain.
Complete URL of upload directory
hope this helps you 
Is there any way to display different css for different user levels? For instance the link to a moderator would be yellow… an admin would be red and a normal member would be grey…
I realize that there is a plugin for something like this for the group forum(buddypress group forum extras).
I would like something like this site wide. It is important that the users of my community know who has what role.
I tried searching for this… maybe im using the wrong keywords. Thank you in advance for anyone with answers.
This is a really good step. I’m developing a site that will most likely be used on netbooks, and the top pane navigation just takes up way too much space. This theme should give me a good base to modify and develop my own off of. Any tips? Basically what I want to do is:
(1) Move all the ‘Activity’ ‘Blogs’ ‘Groups’ etc. links to the left menu.
(2) Reduce the Header size by 2/3s or so.
(3) Make the left column a single column
(4) Get it to like facebook where the header and left pane don’t reload on clicks.
Compare the Activity screen of your theme compared to Facebook

You can see how much more information is provided on facebook and how much easier it is to navigate around.
That is not exactly what i was looking for… But it is awesome! this helps me in a big way. I had no idea anyone had messed with something like that. thanks @r-a-y
@msullens88 How did you combine @mentions, status updates, photos from bp-gallery into one activity feed? I have been looking for the answer to this for weeks. I have an activity feed on a users profile, but can’t get @mentions to show.
Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
