BuddyPress.org

What is available lets the individual bloggers ( who are part of a buddypress-wmu site) choose individual themes for their respective blogs or for their admin areas.

However, if they want to see their buddypress site from a set of exclusive-buddypress themes there seems no way they can do that or the site super admin can allow them to do that.

I read docs as much as I could and searched as much as I can but apparently there seems to be no solution unless someone provides some way around.

waiting for andy…

dude i already made it.

all i want to know is – is it okay to use it and share it for free ?

okay… i made the theme for buddypress and bbpress.

i pulled all the css and worked it around.

some parts i kept different. now can i release it for all..

or can i use it on my site?

I have resolved this issue. The members search did not work because members are not included in the search unless they have at least one piece of profile info filled out.

I had an issue with the “Edit Profile” page (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2991) which had this knock on effect tot he member search.

Thanks for your reply!

1. How many times have you reinstalled WPMU + BuddyPress?

– once (one reinstallation)

2. Did you use the same MySQL DB each time or did you start with a brand new, fresh DB?

-yes the same, but cleared out before reinstallation

3. You mention in point 2 of your most recent post that you’re basically making a custom theme. You changed the code in leave-group-confirm.php. In my mind, changing any code in the default themes means you’re making a custom theme.

– by deleting this <?php bp_group_leave_confirm_link() ?> I only was experimenting what the cause to these errors might be. (deleted part of the code, tested what would happen and then put the deleted part back…)

I am using the default themes you mentioned. I read that the most of these errors have something to do with custom themes, so I’m not using my own theme until these errors/problems are fixed.

My web host said DB is ok, working fine and the error must be in the BP code that generates the pages… In my 2nd post I said “He also said that some variable that has that table’s name is missing… Or something like that.”

That was when I was having forum problems (couldn’t post a new post or reply) and before the reinstallation.

Like I mentioned before, I’m not very familiar with php and MySQL but know some.

So what can I do to help to resolve these problems/errors? This is on the other hand quite annoying, but at the same time I find it fascinating

nice tweaking there. good job on the members page

if someone make the theme and distribute it, will it be legal. i mean does the theme have any copyrights?

i could pull all the css files in this theme and then work my way back to the original. is it okay to copy the same css.

Nope, removing whitespace doesn’t help.

Other issues that I’ve caught include the ABC line above members/groups not working.

And I can no longer post to the forum (I could when I first installed this).

(sigh)

I read through the long “Add Friend Not Adding” thread here:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1315

since my problems seem similar but didn’t gain any insight.

I’m hesitant to do another clean install ‘cuz I’m not sure how to do it without losing my members who are creeping back after I accidentally trashed our old WordPress site (not in the same place — this is a totally new installation).

Whee finally! Thank you!

So let’s get started again.

1. Which version of WPMU are you running?

– WPMU 2.7.1

2. Did you install WPMU as a directory or subdomain install?

– directory

3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?

– root

4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU? If so, from which version?

– no

5. Was WPMU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress?

– yes

6. Which version of BuddyPress are you running?

– 1.0

7. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated?

– no, not yet.

8. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?

– I have my own but also have same problems with default theme (BuddyPress Default Member Theme (1.0))

9. If running bbPress, which version?

– Version 1.0-alpha-6

10. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files

– at the moment error log seems to be empty…

And then my current problems:

I solved the #1 “I can’t post a new topic or reply to the forums anymore.” by re-installing everything. Forums work fine now, except:

1) I still can’t invite friends to the groups (they are my friends and aren’t joined the group). I get a messages: Select Friends No friends to invite and Send Invites -button.

2) I still can’t leave a group. I noticed some weird problems on that page… This page (leave a group) doesn’t have a wp-admin-bar and footer at all! Other pages have. I only get messages: “Confirm Leave Group” and “Are you sure you want to leave this group?” but there’s no options “Yes, I’d like to leave this group.” and “No, I’ll stay!”.

When logged in and on the Groups Directory/Groups Listing page, it is no problem to leave a group, but when I try to leave a group on group’s own page (e.g. http://domain.com/groups/testgroup ) by clicking the Leave Group -button, I get problem #3 from my 1st post.

I noticed differences when comparing html codes BP generates:

comparing testbp.org’s html source and mine that in header I have different code on line 11:

Mine is: <link rel='stylesheet' href='http://domain.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-blogs/css/widget-blogs.css?ver=2.7.1' type='text/css' media='' />

and testbp.org’s is:

<link rel='stylesheet' href='http://testbp.org/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/css/widget-activity.css?ver=2.7.1' type='text/css' media='' />

Meaning that instead of bp-activity I have bp-blogs… so is this a problem? I’m still wondering why my code is different from testbp.org’s.

When I deleted <?php bp_group_leave_confirm_link() ?> on leave-group-confirm.php file (lines 27 and 28) this way the leave group page displays right but links Yes, I’d like to leave this group and and No, I’ll stay! don’t work (of course they don’t work).

3) “new” problem is editing profile: when I try to edit profile (Profile > Edit profile) I get a red error message: That group does not exist.

4) 2nd new problem: When I go to Friends > My friends > Alphabetically again an error or actually info box “Your friends list is currently empty”. I have friends and they are on the lists when I choose “Newest” and “Recently Active”

I’m sorry but my English isn’t that good, so it’s more than possible that I write some weird and confusing words, sentences

But I really do appreciate your help

And Peterpan77 – I have to agree with DJPaul, please, don’t shout…

PS: I have to try this one to my problem #3 https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2991

Just find it

Hi Jeff, Thanks a lot. I do not know whether you will be reading this again

I already read those pages in details and tried all the possible things and got NO reply.

I said this above in the link

which is here https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2988

I would have been happy if things worked that way and I requested something in the above link. Going by template files is cumbersome but problem is certain words can’t be changed at template level, so I was seeking an way out.
