BuddyPress.org

You could add them via the wordpress admin, but you’ll still need to go back and edit their xprofile display name for them to be “visible” inside BuddyPress.

Activities are created by plugins that add those activities to 1 large table in the database that can be sorted in many ways; user, activity type, etc…

What you would need to do is create a little mini plugin to hook into the bbPress posting actions, and have that generate an activity that you will also need to create.

It’s easier than it sounds. Check out buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-classes.php and… function bp_activity_add( $args = '' ) {in buddypress/bp-activity.php for some direction.

Yes it’s possible but it will take some integrating with existing WordPress plugins to make it so. Best place to start with BP specific code is the codex; http://codex.buddypress.org

I’m trying to add a little to it everyday if I find the time, so it should keep getting more and more documented with code snippits and examples.

As long as your theme calls the standard WordPress hooks – like BuddyPress’ does – any add plugin that works on WPMU should work.

Hey Grosbouff,

It’s better to post development enhancements in the trac to avoid getting lost in the shuffle.

Add your suggestion as an enhancement in the BuddyPress trac.

I’m going to be running Buddypress in a subdirectory with subdirs off that for user blogs (if I enable them — still haven’t decided) and I have a couple of other standalone WP installs in other subdirs of the site (off the root) for different parts of the overall site functionality (with a static index page in the root). I’d also love to be able to have the Buddybar show up for registered users in the other WP installs, so any ideas would be a great help.

I am a bit confused about 1 thing. Do I create a child theme with the theme buddypress installs with or create a parent theme to make child themes from in the future. I am looking to change colors, layout (collumns) bg image and things like that. Something I read made it sound like any wordpress theme can be the parent, is this correct? I am assuming that using a standard wordpress theme would require adding code from the default theme. Is this correct? I just want to make sure I am understanding this before I try to jump in and work because in the begining I don’t think I was. Thank you,

Greg

Have a look at this Codex article.

As a general piece of advice, this is not specifically for the xprofile component, make sure that you check the codebase in the version of trunk that you’re using as there have been a number of changes to functions–some have been renamed, others deprecated, and new ones created. So it is possible that some of the Codex articles on BP loops may be slightly out of date.

Read this thread:

There are two sets of files you need to work with… One for the home page and main blog and another for the member/group/admin pages.

The home theme is found here: /wordpress-mu/wp-content/themes/bphome

The member theme is here: /wordpress-mu/wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember

If you don’t have a member theme in the above location, upload it there. The bpmember base.css is similar and you will have to make most of your CSS tweaks to both. v1.1 uses only one theme for both. More info:https://buddypress.org/blog/news/the-new-buddypress-theme-architecture/

First of all, since you are installing a premium, 3rd-party DB sharding tool, you need to contact the people at WPMU DEV Premium and ask them for support. It seems like all was fine with your standard WPMU + BP install until you switched to using their multi-db plugin.

Secondly, in case you are not aware, there is a free sharding tool–HyperDB. In fact, this site (BP.org) is using it. Also, there is a great two-part article on how to use HyperDB written by Trent Adams, one of the moderators on this and other WP product forums.

The best option is to set “Template: bp-sn-parent” in the WP theme’s style.css header. That will allow it to inherit all of the BuddyPress templates.

If that isn’t an option (perhaps the theme is already a child theme) then you will need to copy over the template files from bp-sn-parent into the wp theme. Just make sure you don’t replace any existing theme files.

You’ll will probably want to add the user navigation into the theme also, you can add the following lines to the bottom of header.php:

<?php if ( !bp_is_blog_page() && !bp_is_directory() && !bp_is_register_page() && !bp_is_activation_page() ) : ?>

<?php locate_template( array( 'userbar.php' ), true ) /* Load the user navigation */ ?>

<?php locate_template( array( 'optionsbar.php' ), true ) /* Load the currently displayed object navigation */ ?>

<?php endif; ?>

Once you’ve done that, BuddyPress pages will inherit all of the theme’s styles and its header and footer. You will of course need to add extra styles since WP themes only handle blog pages.

You can also try importing the bp-sn-parent screen styles into the WP theme’s style.css file. Depending on the theme, this may help to add layout to BuddyPress pages, but also stay within the WP theme’s look and feel.
