BuddyPress.org

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();

Oh, that’s great news!

Thanks Mr Maz and Brajesh.

@MrMaz

Thanks for pointing

@webbimperiet

hi Daniel

This is related to theme not to the bp-links plugin. If you feel comfortable with css/xhtml, just use plugin-template.php as a base and create all the files in links directory based on that.

I am currently busy with a plugin and will be back to this theming again after that only, so if you can wait for 3-4 days, I will provide templates for bp-links/bp-events+updated cosmicbuddy for free [which I promised long ago there].

Otherwise, if someone have already templated cosmicbuddy for bp-events/bp-links, please point here.

Thanks

Brajesh

@MrMaz

Ok, I see. I’ve attached two screenshots so you can see how it looks. http://footballfantalk.com/links1.png and http://footballfantalk.com/links2.png.

Would really appreciate your help. I can give you ftp-access if that would make it easier for you to help me. However, I understand if you don’t have time.

Kind regards,

Daniel

hello, i was wondering exactly the same thing !

I think it can be very usefull and in fact it can help to make buddy press more clear.

Or maybe the ability to create category for put group inside !

Cause if your buddypress community is very big and lots of people create group we will have a terrible mix of all and we can be lost…

example: a category for group called music

and inside some groups like: rock, pop, alternative, jazz etc…

general forum for category and sub forums for groups inside can be very usefull too

I don’t now really how to do this but if someone think it can be done let me now !

thanks in advance

neobabs

well I mean, the complete

<div class="widget-error">

<?php _e( 'Please log in and

add widgets to this column.', 'buddypress' ) ?>

<a href="<?php echo

get_option('siteurl') ?>/wp-admin/widgets.php?s=&show=&sidebar=blog-sidebar">

<?php _e( 'Add Widgets', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

</div>

Should be replaced by your custom code.
