BuddyPress.org

So you say if you disable BuddyPress, it works and you can log in ok? Can you view the hello world test post without BP enabled?

Try boosting your php memory to something like 128mb as a test.

Looks good Detective — are there specific benefits to using Thesis integration, in terms of your Buddypress sites, or was it more that you were familiar working with Thesis?

Have you tried disabling BuddyPress – dies the problem still occur?

It looks great. Does this Andy character sleep? As he obviously isn’t planning a Christmas holiday:

“I will probably play with a few child themes over Xmas and produce some new color schemes with a bit more ‘flair’.”

Just wondering if the members/blogs/groups will be in a sn-parent theme that we can grab if we already have a custom theme? … as the functionality is much better than in the old theme.

Cheers for all your hard work.

If you are interested, I’ve released my Thesis integration.

I love the new theme! I am so glad that you all paid attention to this because I know that this was a major stumbling bloack for many of us early adopters. I cant’ wait to see the fbconnect functions added back in.

Marius I also want to thank you for your help. You and Erwin are to be commended for bp-events which in my opinion should be a core BuddyPress function. I hope that all of the functions that were once in that plugin make there way back in. I also have the latest version running and it help smooth out some of the wonks with my theme.

@Jeff,

sorry about my post.

Fine with me.

Thanks,

@Andy Peatling

Ah…sorry to spam you somewhat but I was also wondering if there were any plans to enable easy “quoting” within the forums with this theme/BP version (or a future theme/etc). We’ve finally convinced ourselves that flat forums are good but I think we’re definitely going to have to get some sort of quoting mechanism working.

edit:

I’ve just seen this post: http://testbp.org/groups/buddypress-testers-614548248//forum/topic/forum-or-wire-with-comments/

Hopefully I’ll be able to get that sorted as a plugin sometime soon.

Brilliant. Thanks for the clarification

@Andy Peatling

I don’t suppose you could give us any info in regards to the planned widget options for the site? It would be quite nice to be able to specify different widgets for some pages (for example, the group pages/group components) but from the sounds of what you’re aiming at in terms of a site with a consistent interface, that might not be what you’re going for.

Obviously we can mod anything we need in but the lazy and selfish part of me hopes that you’re designing stuff exactly as I want it :p

edit:

Also thought I’d mention that it might be nice to change the theme so that clicking on your avatar also directs you to your profile page (in addition to clicking on your name). Several of our users have requested this. As before, we can mod this in if need be, but it seems like something that would be a nice feature for most installations.

Indeed. It’s not that hard for anyone to setup a test BP installation – there’s no need for Jeff to run a demo when he’s already done tons of work on the privacy component

I’ll be playing with this in the coming week I think. Is there anything missing from it that you don’t have time to work on at the moment? I suspect we’ll need to modify it slightly so if we can do that in a way that would save you a bit of work…

Haha Jeff you’re right, bit busy on other things.. I’ll try to have a good look at it asap!

Jeff,

it would making TESTING much much easier, if you could set-up a BP-website including your plugin.

Please grap a domain and a cheap server and put BP onto it including your Privacy-plugin.

Then a bunch of us can test it. This would be most effective and we can set permissions, and can feedback to each other.

Like: hey, can you see my profile or is it hidden ? No, I can not see your Profile, bla, bla, bla…..

Let me know if you need a domain-name, I still have a few laying around….I can just point it to your webhost…..

Blakicemg,

Did that method work for you? I am trying to do the same thing: merge BuddyPress with an old WordPress theme

Hey Paul. Thanks for weighing in.

Yes… I wonder about that as well. If we should all be friends of not. The specific case here is that with this community, we are all friends in real life and we all know each other in real life. And it’s a very important community. We are a volunteer organization that falls under the umbrella of the Provincial Emergency Management Office. So it may make sense for us to all be “connected”.

That said, BuddyPress already shows you activity from everyone and already show you all members in the membership directory. So that’s great. And having specific “friends” (as opposed to just everyone) adds another layer to the social context which could be useful. My issue mainly is that I cannot send group invites to non-friends. So we have committees which need to have certain members in them… and I can’t invite them because we’re not friends.

But maybe that’s just an education issue. We are only in “test drive” mode right now. When we officially launch and I sign everyone up… I will need to do some education on how to add friends, make groups, join groups, etc. Especially with this group… since many are not what you would call “computer savvy”. LOL.

ah! that was it, thanks!

You have to add a define line in your bp-custom.php.

Say you have your languages files called piglatin.mo and piglatin.po.

Upload the files to /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages/.

Then this is what you’d put in your /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:

define( 'BPLANG', 'piglatin' );

if ( file_exists( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-languages/' . BPLANG . '.mo' ) ) {

load_textdomain( 'buddypress', BP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-languages/' . BPLANG . '.mo' );

}
