BuddyPress.org

This isn’t working anymore. Made a folder in themes and put a style.css file with info below. Activated theme in admin. Site has no styling.

Template: bp-default

@import url( http://url.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/style.css );

Arx:

Here’s my suggestion – @mentions tab on a displayed user’s profile.

This solves all concerns about the deprecated wire component.

What does everyone think?

Hi,

have you checked the buddypress-group-documents plugin?

Nice clean site, henrybaum, congratulations. Thanks for sharing info about wpaudio, didn’t notice that solution before, looks good. As for uploading mp3 or audio files for members, Brajesh at BuddyDev.com is developing a BuddyPress Gallery plugin for images, video and audio which is coming out sometime later this month – it’s a premium plugin though. Might I suggest you contact him there to see how it could help you with frontend uploading of audios by members.

How long do you think it’s going to take to finish your first template? Because your previews are looking great, can’t wait to test one.

You guys are all off topic and I’m going to steer it back to ground one. :p

I see the point about @messages *not* showing up on other peeps profile pages, it makes sense *IN SOME SCENARIOS.*

However, I know an awful lot of people who LIKE the Facebook feature of posting on a person’s wall and having it show up.

I understand the wire has been gutter, deleted, deprecated, *AND I LIKE THAT* and I also like that the activity streams are unifying the action.

BUT I STILL THINK THERE OUGHT TO BE A WAY TO POST TO A PERSON’S PROFILE PAGE. I suppose someone (me?) could build a plugin, but why can’t this be native functionality? One might even have the option in the admin panel to turn such a feature on or off.

Why is the core team resisting this feature? Do you ever use Facebook? Most people I know who use Facebook *really like this feature,* and I can imagine many people getting frustrated @buddypress w/ the lack of such a thing.

Just to clarify – you should not be moving any themes from the BuddyPress directory. From WordPress 2.9 onwards the themes will be automatically detected in the BuddyPress plugin folder. You can simply create a new child theme in wp-content/themes and it will automatically know that the parent is in the BuddyPress plugin folder.

Mike: Not sure why you want to remove the custom header functions? They simply provide a UI to uploading a custom header image in Appearance > Custom Header.

Hi,

I also had the famous problem “Please fill in all of the required fields”. I use the bp-default theme that I customised a bit with a image slider using the jQuery Tools library.

I found that there was a conflict betwen this library and the buddypress-links plugin. I solved quickly the problem with showing the slider only for people who are not logged in. I will try to find a better solution.

I hope it helps.

By the way, very great plugin!

Without knowing these answers https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/when-asking-for-support, we can but only make wild guesses.

The new bp-default is brand new theme with much easier to handle templates, better CSS and simpler JS. Overall it is a big improvement on the original bp-sn-parent/bp-default combination.

From 1.2 onwards I would recommend using the bp-default as a parent theme.

It’s quite simple, create a new theme folder in wp-content/themes, create a style.css file and add a:

Template: bp-default

to the header of the style.css file. You can then pull in the existing bp-default CSS if you want to use that:

@import url( ../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/style.css );

Then under that line you can begin to make your CSS adjustments. If you want to edit a template file, copy it from bp-default and then paste it into your theme folder.

That’s really all there is to it. If you do it this way then your theme will get updated when BuddyPress is updated.

What Michael said. There is a thread in this forum regarding BP_Group_Extension not found … haven’t tried it “fixing” the plugins with that solution though

https://buddypress.org/groups/buddypress-job-board

No, you can’t use BuddyPress as an email server.

I think those plugins are not yet compatible with 1.2 – I guess you will have to wait

BuddyPress 1.2 is still in development – you can download either by

SVN – svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk OR you might prefer

Zip file near bottom of page – https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk

As for widgetizing sidebars, it is not BuddyPress-related but basic WordPress function. When your user creates a blog, he/she can choose whatever theme you’ve uploaded to your WPMU installation. Just make sure the sidebars of those themes are widgetized or are “dynamic sidebars” and your users can change widgets via their own dashboards at Appearance > Widgets.

“limit blogs plugin is set to 1”

That’s where it goes awry. Remember that your members already have 1 blog – even as a subscriber to the blog where your BuddyPress is installed, that is counted. So increase Limit Blogs to 2 so that in addition to main blog as subscriber or whatever role you made them to be, they can create one new blog for themselves.

Here’s a writeup I made awhile back:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/bp-admin-bar-on-bbpress-front-page-1#post-18626

For the require_once line, if that line doesn’t work change it to the absolute file path.

If you’re using single WP, delete these lines:

bp_adminbar_blogs_menu();

bp_adminbar_authors_menu();
