BuddyPress.org

Hi Modemlooper – not sure whether you’re still interested in this, but I was looking to make a similar change (I wanted recently active members to show by default). I wrote a plugin to make it happen: http://dev.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2009/09/07/new-buddypress-plugin-enhanced-buddypress-widgets/. Hope it helps.

That particular screenshot is *old*, and I’ve never seen a build with that in. Further blog integration is on the roadmap for future relases of BP.

I’m with you anointed. It doesn’t seem the developers thought of this, but it sure would be useful.

I’ve tried this, but can’t seem to get it to work. I put the function, defined above, in the functions.php page in the BP theme directory I’m using (which is the default bpmember) and put the help.php page (that’s what my page is called) into the same folder (is this correct). I think my problem is that I’m not sure when people say “home theme’s functions.php file” if they mean the bpmember folder (since that is my home theme) and if the “home theme directory” is again the bpmember folder (again, since that’s my home theme). Am I just getting this all confused?

thanks

So as the screenshots on the BP homepage show, will it be possible for every member to have their blog integrated into the main site? I don’t like how when they register a blog it kicks them to what looks like Kubrick or w/e the default MU theme is.

I don’t want members to even have the ability to pick another theme, just have it created within the BP home theme/blog.

Does something like https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/make-your-own-custom-buddypress-page help you out at all?

Bp is not made to work like that. Sounds like you’ll need to fork some bp functions, but also write a completely new plugin from scratch.

Gotcha, it’s a little confusing what you were trying to say earlier…

It sounds like you’re going to need to write a script that will install mu/bp on the fly for everything member in their own section. I don’t think the way they are coded now you will be able to achieve what you are wanting.

If you’re asking if anyone’s released any child themes then no, I’m not aware of any yet.

If you’re asking for BuddyPress installs running the new parent/child theme system, look at this site and testbp.org.

Hey Erich,

It’s fixed in the upcoming BP 1.1, but in the meantime, you can apply the fix mentioned here:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/816

This was fixed recently in the trunk version. https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/1756/ & https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/1757/

however that is applied to the new theme in BP 1.1/trunk and won’t apply directly against the theme of BP 1.0.3.

New development. The Buddypress.org/blog/page/2/ URL no longer directs you to an error page, but instead gives you the same list of posts as on the first page.

I have this same problem. What’s the latest on this? What causes the problem? Is there a fix?

Much like Anointed, I would like my members to have their blogs integrated into the BP site. Right now a new member blog is created using the plain default WP theme and does not keep the look and feel of the site.

On the BP website, I’ve seen screenshots where it looks like the blogs are integrated/have the same theme. Why is my install doing it differently? I want my users to create blogs, but have them actually look like they are a part of the site, not a separate entity altogether.

I posed this question in another thread I believe, but then my original handle went MIA in these forums, so I’ve had to create a new one and have since lost the thread.

BuddyPress 1.0.3+ requires WordPress MU 2.8+

At the moment the pages have to be moved into the theme folder.

If you’re trying to get it so a user doesn’t have to move your page files into their theme when they’ve installed your plugin, have a look at https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/954.

The function which tells BuddyPress to load a particular theme file is like this:

bp_core_load_template( 'achievements-member-theme/summary' );

This is the best post I have seen on the subject.

Could someone direct me to a complete guide about how to set up the forum at the buddypress end or post a guide in here (wasn’t able to find anything)?

I have set up bbpress, but when I click on post new in the group interface I just get a white page?

Until you posted this thread was 8 months old. You can localise BuddyPress in the same standard way which you do WordPress. I am aware someone has a new plugin in the works which, despite me not fully understanding what it does, sounds like it will be useful to run multilanguage BP sites.

In the interim, however, I’m closing this thread. If you want to continue to discuss any specifics please find a more recent thread or start a new one.

I don’t think anyone has tried anything like BP-Mu, and I am very doubtful that the internals would support such a thing without serious hacking.

BuddyPress *does* use the existing WordPress user tables/routines, etc. I have no idea what you mean by “separate user system.” You can just remove the BuddyPress /register files and use the WPMU user registration.

There’s no guarantee BP 1.1 will be released next week. Soon, but I’d advise not getting your hopes up.

As far as I’m aware, there’s no issues with running BP on a blog ID other than 1. If you want to be certain, download the current trunk copy and test it out; it’s not too late for bug fixes to go in.
