Poedit is the buggiest bit of Mac software I’ve ever used.
Hmm I changed some stuff in Poedit and uploaded both files mo/po to bp-languages but it didn’t change anything, am I missing anything?
LOL
roger that!
still very excited to get BP1.2 in my hands.. besides Nicola says that his aggregator plugin will work on BP1.2 \
woot woot
The above “it is not a BP issue” thing has, I think, been discussed before. If anyone wishes to debate that point further, make a new thread – leave it out of this one.
@Bpisimone , et, all..
i love the default answer of: “its not a BP issue, its a wp or wpmu issue” — i see that thrown around here way too often.
first, –i get it.. “..its outside the scope…” but the default.. “go elsewhere” as an answer just makes me cringe..
second, — please consider that.. to many enduser-installers (not a developer)of BP.. such as myself… to us, BP is the main product and NOT just a plugin. –and WP/WPMU is just an afterthought…
thanks…
There are a lot of changes to template structure, all for the better.
@cecilporter, same rules still apply. Don’t forget to save your po/mo’s and upload them.
Can anyone recommend a GUI po/mo editor for Mac that works?
On my server I go from zero to buddypress in minutes. Easily under 9 minutes. Not sure what issues you were having but I’d be interested to know.

Not sure how well it works with buddypress, but I suppose it shouldn’t make any difference. I’m planning on using that plugin myself as well.
Jeff, I have tried this a few times already to no avail. Now that I am trying to do it again, the link to upgrading from RC-1 is gone and I am unsure which files need to move and which ones just need to be deleted. Do you know of anyone that can actually help us in this transition or walk me through EXACTLY what I need to do, step by step. I have three sites that I need to get upgraded.

Nope. For an xtra profile page you’ll need to use something like this:
/**
* Setup update location nav item
* @since 1.0
*/
function sv_xprofile_xtra_nav()
{
global $bp;
$profile_link = $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->profile->slug . '/';
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( 'name' => __( 'Update Location', 'scuba' ), 'slug' => 'update-location', 'parent_url' => $profile_link, 'parent_slug' => $bp->profile->slug, 'screen_function' => 'sv_screen_update_location', 'position' => 15 ) );
}
add_action( 'xprofile_setup_nav', 'sv_xprofile_xtra_nav' );
/**
* Display location update screen
* @since 1.0
*/
function sv_screen_update_location()
{
if ( !bp_is_home() && !is_site_admin() )
return false;
/* Check to see if any new information has been submitted */
if( isset( $_POST['save'] ) )
{
/* Check the nonce */
check_admin_referer( 'sv_profile_update_location' );
if( $_POST['user_lat'] && ! $_POST['user_long'] || ! $_POST['user_lat'] && $_POST['user_long'] )
{
bp_core_add_message( __( 'You need to provide both a latitude and a longitude.', 'scuba' ), 'error' );
$error = true;
}
if( ! $error )
{
$lat = apply_filters( 'sv_sanitize_user_input', $_POST['user_lat'] );
$long = apply_filters( 'sv_sanitize_user_input', $_POST['user_long'] );
$id = apply_filters( 'sv_sanitize_user_input', $_POST['user_id'] );
$loc = array(
'user_lat' => $lat,
'user_long' => $long
);
update_usermeta( $id, 'user_location', $loc );
bp_core_add_message( __( 'Your location has been updated!', 'buddypress' ) );
do_action( 'sv_successful_location_update' );
}
}
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'sv_xprofile_template_update_location', 'profile/location' ) );
}
Then you obviously need a template file as well in your theme in the profiles folder. I use the above code to let the user pick his geo position on a google map and then I display the users on a flash map on the members directory page.
You should describe your problems in more detail.
Personally it only took me about 2 hours or so to get wpmu and buddypress installed. And working properly. The only problem I encountered was with an RSS feed. Solution was to upgrade to php5 for that.
In any case the members and devs here seem to be very friendly and helpful.

Size doesn’t matter, right? 
Anyways, adjusting some css should do the trick. set your logo as the background image of the a tag, give it the width and the height of your logo and then move the text out of the screen using text-indent.
Something like this (put it in custom.css, which you might have to create under _inc/css/):
#header h1 a {
background:transparent url(../images/buddypress/bp_logo.gif) no-repeat left top;
display:block;
height:42px;
text-indent:-999em;
width:180px;
}
By the way, a little searching here on the forum would have given you the answer as it’s come up a few times already.
enjoy!
“That” page is actually a WordPress page and as such has not much to do with BP. Let Andy take care of the more important things…
With basic skill level however you should be able to do that yourself like so: http://www.problogdesign.com/wordpress/custom-wordpress-login-screen/
Are there any important hardcoded theme changes in this one Andy (apart from the obvious total css renewal?
Wow it’s gorgeous, really amazing!
The colors are easily customized. It’s also possible to upload a custom background image for the header. This theme is supposed to provide a much simpler and more usable base for people to create themes from. The old default was not a good base at all.

oh, one more thing. any idea when it’ll show up in the trunk? cheers!
Is this still the way to do it?
It doesn’t work for me using WPMU 2.8.6 w/ BuddyPress 1.1.3
