@M Will they be released at the same time? Also, are we talking days, weeks, hours (lol)?

Thanks so much sir!

Hi Jeff,

first of all thx for your soon reply. But this doesn´t work because it only shows the word search but not the button as the background: here is the full code of the search function again

function bp_search_form() {

$form = ‘

<form action=”‘ . bp_search_form_action() . ‘” method=”post” id=”search-form”>

<input type=”text” id=”search-terms” name=”search-terms” value=”” />

‘ . bp_search_form_type_select() . ‘

<input type=”submit” name=”search-submit” id=”search-submit” value=”‘ . __( ‘Search’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘” />

‘ . wp_nonce_field( ‘bp_search_form’ ) . ‘

</form>

‘;

echo apply_filters( ‘bp_search_form’, $form );

}

do you have another idea ?

thx in adv. best regards tony

that should buy you three or so beers at a tavern, I forgot about the pounds/dollars conversion rate.. now if we could only get every other sucker in these forums that just hijacks free code, ask for free help and then complains when it doesn’t work… several of you guys (you know who you are) might have a decent beer fund going.. cheers!

I just did a quick test. In the home theme at least (wp-content/themes/bphome/header.php) the global nav at the top is already hardcoded. So it’s dead easy to hide the groups and members links simply by wrapping it with this:

<?php if(is_user_logged_in()): ?>



[ links for logged in users only go here ]



<?php endif; ?>

In my template, the “groups” and “members” links appear on lines 48-53.

Note that the last item in the navigation is:

<?php do_action( 'bp_nav_items' ); ?>This function could pulling in more navigation links if you are using any plugins… like bp-events for instance.

That said… I like the solution in this thread much better.

The “solution” above is very “low tech” and in fact, isn’t really a solution since it doesn’t actually restrict access… it just hides some links. Probably not a good way to go. You could probably still get into a group by… let’s say… clicking on someone’s profile link and then clicking on a link to a group they are a member of.

Ah, right. Thanks for the answer, Jeff!

I was just thinking that it would give a framework that could be adapted to the BuddyPress default theme, so that you could offer a ‘BuddyPress default’ theme for bbPress. After all, a lot of people are going to use the BuddyPress default theme with minimal alteration, because it’s neat, clean and tidy.

If no-one else has got the time, I’d be happy to have a go at adapting Andy’s BP.org bbPress theme to match the default theme – but I’ve not themed for bbPress before, so it would feel like a bit of an extra mountain to climb to have to start from the bottom.

It just seems that with the work Andy’s done already to port BP.org to bbPress, you’re very close to having a bbPress ready BuddyPress default theme – for which I’m sure a lot of people would be very grateful…

As I say, I’d be happy to lend a hand if it’s not a high priority for anyone else.

Odd thought I have just had – have you installed Buddypress, or its themes, using symlinks? If you have, copy the directories/files and don’t use a symlink path.

If you don’t know what a symlink is, then disregard

I just received this error while trying to install Buddypress on a fresh install of WPMU 2.7.1. I was using the “add plugin” feature so I assume that I am getting the latest version of Buddypress (1.0).

Per the questions above, I installed per directions and made no modifications except to move the bp_themes folder to wp_content as instructed. I opened no Buddypress files.

So it looks like this problem is alive and well. I’m at a dead halt with Buddypress.

There are lots of good things to be found in the forum stickies!

Regarding my ‘thinking out-loud’ point above about figuring out how to implement a consolidated theme across all buddypress blogs and the main page …

This morning, as I was clicking on the CNN site, and I noticed they have a bunch of different individual & topical blogs. I wanted to see how they unified the look and feel, so I clicked on several different ones. What they have there is just a simplified layout of their main site … essentially, a subset of the main page layout. So it (finally) occurred to me that what I can do for this is

1. Figure out template setup basics, enough to …

2. Put together a basic template that uses the same color, font, and graphical components from the site’s main theme, but is a very basic theme, not one that is buddypress ready. It will look like it is the same theme, but that will be a deliberate coincidence.

* I can hardcode widget and/or custom code into there as necessary

* I imagine this part can get tricky, but it does some reasonable to do.

3. Make this template the default for all new users

I acknowledge this is probably not such a revelation to many of the WPress initiated … but for me, it took some time and mental crunching to get to this conclusion. From my humble newbie vantage point , it does seem like it could be a useful consideration if users have their own blogs.

The plugin DJPaul linked to alters the behavior of WPMU’s registration process which is controlled by wp-signup.php.

When using BuddyPress, you have a choice to either use WPMU’s registration script or the alternate one found in the home theme–register.php. More information in this thread

You are correct. Andy has themed the BuddyPress forum theme to look just like the rest of BP.org.

At this time, he does not plan on releasing this theme. He wants to keep the bp.org brand distinctive. Imagine if many of the new BP installs used this theme. It might confuse people when coming to BP.org. BP.org needs to maintain a unique identity. It is, after all, the place where everyone else comes for guidance.

Of course, everyone is free to style their own theme.

I am having a similar problem:

Request Friend

/members/username/

Ajax keeps spinning. Firebug is saying 404 was returned but returning the following response:

Friendship Requested0

Members Home Widget

Newest | Active | Popular

Ajax keeps spinning. Firebug is saying 404, but also returning results which is quite odd.

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-ajax-handler.php

Versions:

MU 2.7.1

BuddyPress

FF 3.0.10

OSX Leopard 10.5.7

It’s quite easy to see with firebug on the homepage:

What are my next steps?

You’ve provided a little detail about your setup, and more detail about your issue. However, there is more about your setup that could prove useful in providing you with assistance. Please see this thread and respond as appropriate:

If an intentional design decision then it is a poor one!

This has nothing to do with BuddyPress. It has all to do with the design and styling of the theme you are using. Switch to the default BuddyPress themes (bphome and bpmember) and you will see this problem go away.

Talk with the person who designed your theme.
