BuddyPress.org

this has been fixed, the page still looks kinda ugly though:

I would recommend making your own parent/child theme and use the bp-sn-parent as your guide.

To truly get the mileage you want out of your BuddyPress powered website, you will want to customize it fully. The parent/child setup is designed to let the parent theme be the “core” theme, and let child themes change the core design. You could also just make your own child theme and use bp-sn-parent as the parent, and then use your own custom CSS to make it look however you’d like.

georgef101, do you still have the bp-themes folder located in wp-content? If so, BuddyPress will think you’re using the old theme style and look for the 1.0 avatars. If not, make sure your folder permissions are set (I put mine to 777 to make sure it works, but you may want to do 755 depending) and then run the code above. It should rename all of your avatars accordingly and put them where they belong. Once that’s done, you shouldn’t need to delete or change anything.

21CDB’s code works fine with my theme. I’d like my custom page to be in a sub-folder instead of in my root directory, though.

define('CS_INTUITION_SLUG', 'intuition');



function show_intuition_page()

{

bp_core_add_root_component(CS_INTUITION_SLUG);

}

add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'show_intuition_page', 2 );



function bp_show_intuition_page() {

global $bp, $current_blog;



if ( $bp->current_component == CS_INTUITION_SLUG && $bp->current_action == '' )

{

// The first variable here must match the name of your template file below

bp_core_load_template( 'intuition', true );

}

}

add_action( 'wp', 'bp_show_intuition_page', 2 );

When I remove the intuition.php file from my root directory, and make an intuition directory with an index.php in it, it doesn’t seem to work (I get 404’s). If I try and change what the value of the slug and the template are as well, I still get 404’s.

Ideas?

I’d be interested in different sizes of avatars in buddypress, personally I don’t like or use gravatars, so don’t have a problem with that.

Besides, in the Netherlands nobody actually uses gravatar, since everyone uses Hyves (famous dutch social network) to blog and do other stuff.

Add this to your functions.php. It’s written by Detective.

function rk_signup_redirect() {

if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'wp-signup.php') !== false ) {

$url = 'http://domain.ext/register';

wp_redirect($url);

exit;

}

}

add_action('init', 'rk_signup_redirect');

Change $url = ‘http://domain.ext/register’; into your own domain.

This’ll automatically redirect from the old signup page to the new buddypress signup page.

In the moment, I do what Andy has offered above.

Members:

<?php echo bp_core_fetch_avatar(

'item_id=' . get_the_author_id() . '&type=full&width=100&height=100' ) ?>

Groups:

<?php echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( 'item_id=' . bp_get_the_site_group_id()

. '&object=group&type=full&width=100&height=100' ) ?>

Just I think this is the same as doing it in the css.

I like to know how to change the original size at the moment when its created.

But I don’t want to define these with custom values in wp-config.php.

I’m looking for a solution to have control of the Avatar size in custom components.

for example: In the bp-events Plugin, I would like to change the Avatar format to a Flyer format.

Most of the Event Flyer, people want to upload, do not feed the Avatar size from Buddypress.

So they just get a cuted piece of there flayer.

I relay would like to change this.

You can make custom pages inside of buddypress.

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/make-your-own-custom-buddypress-page

BuddyPress creates two images for avatars. 150×150 and 50×50. Any other sizes you see are scaled by CSS.

If you really know what you are doing, you can define these with custom values in wp-config.php to change the real sizes of the files that are created, but I am not sure of any side effect that may occur.

define( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH’, 50 );

define( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT’, 50 );

define( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’, 150 );

define( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’, 150 );

If you are going to do this make sure you test extensively on a sandbox install first!

I don’t see this as well in BP 1.1+.

This was extremely useful!

But, I’m guessing if you already have these profile fields setup when you upgrade, these fields should still exist.

It’s only if you decide to create new x-profile fields that you won’t be able to use the CSV option.

EDIT: Added an enhancement ticket in Trac:

je suis TREEEES patient Chouf1, je suggère mon nom si “par hasard” la disponibilité du traducteur officiel était compromise dûe à un événement impromptu… hey hey

btw MrMaz, i added your engine finally, with all its usage.

@nexia patience c’est en cours.

sorry sometimes we speak french here

Where do you get your ID to enable this plugin? Am I just totally missing this?

@Bowe

Wordpress /buddypress does not do anything special to images.By default the avatars are saved as square(same height and width),so if you keep the ratio,the image looks good as it gets scaled down by css,otherwise say you make the height and width different ,It gets stretched.just for clarification

I was not able to get any of these to work? I am fairly fimilular with the coding but no luck…has any succeeded with this?

hehe.. you are most welcome

Yeh buddypress.org is using buddypress but the theme is a custom theme which is not available freely ,so you may have to wait until Andy decides to make this theme available for everyone.but I don’t think so,as He will like to keep the look of this site unique

It would be really good to see some sort of integrated video commenting – I believe that, for certain use cases, video commenting could be extremely useful but, so far, it has been hampered by clueless implementations (Seesmic, Viddler) which forced users to jump through registration hoops before they can actually record their message, killing the medium before it even had a chance to catch on.

As far as I can see, Kaltura does not currently offer any sort of video commenting but I think it would be a really could fit with the way in which you are trying to push the communal aspects of video.

hi there

well,so your subdomain style issue is solved.

For the random non existing subdomain behavior is expected by wpmu.since you are using buddypress default theme ,so you will not be able to see wp-signup.php and it is one of the most discussed topic here in forum.just search it.

If you are trying to create forums (as you may be thinking of standalone forum in bbpress),this is not implemented in that way in buddypress.In buddypress ,the bbpress (internal integration) is used for creating forums with groups and they do not have a separate admin.You can enable forum from group admin screen for a particular group.

As far as I know and my experiences with shared hosting,you won’t be able to install wordpress mu on addon domains.If you are able to install wpmu on addon domain ,then buddypress should work without any problem.

You can still use the old “bp-themes” format (for now anyway) as long as you haven’t deleted the “bp-themes” directory.

I’ve quoted the following from:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/upgrading-a-buddypress-1-0-theme-for-buddypress-1-1/

Firstly you can revert to the old BuddyPress 1.0 theme system. Simply recover your /wp-content/bp-themes/ folder. This will revert BuddyPress into compatibility mode. You will not see all of the new features added in 1.1, but you will gain from performance and code improvements.

But be advised that, from what I’ve heard, the old 2-way theme format is going be phased out eventually in a future BP release.
