BuddyPress.org

This is probably the 3rd post asking about buddypress.org theme. People should search carefully before posting.

There’re millions of css resources and samples on the net, and one can easily create or at least change a part of the theme to what they want. bp has custom.css and site-wide.css system which you can add/override css.

I like the default member theme and appreciate all of Andy’s hard work. I’m sure there are many more excellent updates to come!

My $.02

Hello!

I’ve just tried this plugin: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=381#post-1515

And it’s actually not working. When I activate the plugin, the group forums disappear in all BP groups.

Moreover, When I check the admin page of each BP groups, I can’t see the “activate forum option” anymore.

I’ve tried to place the plugin in both bb-plugins and my-plugins directories.

I’m using:

WPmu 2.7.1

BP 1.0 (oh yeah!)

bbpress 1.0 alpha 6

Am I the only one having this problem? Maybe the plugin is not working with the last version of BP?

Thanks a lot!!

I just clicked on your website.

Is your website really being hacked ?

If yes, then it seems BuddyPress is not really save !???

good call djpaul, just wanting to post an update incase anyone else visited this thread with the same issue, that it is in fact still a problem for me running the latest version of BP and wpmu. I’ll start a new thread and link it back to here.

I have the same question. I’d like to add a bit to the standard template then have that template be the default template for people who create a blog. So, they will be able to make posts but not change the template.

I’ve one really important question – Can we use certain CSS code pieces of buddypress.org theme in our themes?

Mike-

You pose a good question. It would be useful to have the ability to re-request friendship, or at least nudge a given person to reconsider.

Of course, as you suggest, there may be other issues like the original email was overlooked or filtered out as spam and never seen. In this case, there’s not much that can been done, especially if a member does not check their profile on a regular basis.

But having a feature to re-request action or an admin-configurable setting that will auto-remind members every week or month to visit their profile would be a nice addition to the platform.

I suggest creating a new enhancement ticket in trac.

I had some luck unpluging some plugins.

Hi Philpeter,

The language files go only in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages (do not create this folder, use the existing one) and should not be copied or placed anywhere else.

Move your “bp-custom.php” file out of /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/ and into /wp-content/plugins/.

If you are still having trouble, make sure the MO version of the file was created correctly.

Hi again, I have slightly changed the mu-plugins/wpmu-signup-captcha.php to fit better on signup page’s design, if anyone interested you can change the lines 37-51 to the following.

<style>

.captcha_img {

display: inline!important;

float: left!important;

margin-left:10px!important;

border: 1px solid #888a85;

border-radius: 3px;

-moz-border-radius: 3px;

-webkit-border-radius: 3px;

-khtml-border-radius: 3px;

}

.captcha_label {

display: inline!important;

float: left!important;

line-height: 50px!important;

}

</style>

<div class='field-box'>

<div class="extra-field">

<div <?php echo($error ? 'class="error"' : '') ?>>

<?php if($error){ echo $error; } ?>

</div>

<div class="signup-label">

<label class="signup-label captcha_label">

<?php _e('Verification:')?>

</label>

<img class="captcha_img" src="wp-captcha.php?rand=<?php echo rand(0,999999)?>" alt="Captcha code" border="0" />

<input maxlength="12" name="captcha" type="text" value="" />

</div>

</div>

</div>

i put the styles in php file which is a bad practice but you can always take them yo your custom.css file.

I also realized why I hated the default member theme so much. For some reason in Firefox 3.5b4 on mac all the font on the member theme is huge. I don’t know if anyone else has had this problem, but it is fine in Safari. It actually looks really nice in Safari.

Thanks for the links.

I have seen the horizontal design as well, and I don’t especially care for that either. I have determined for my purposes that I don’t need that navigation at all.

That is an awesome facebook theme, but I don’t literally mean that I want it to look like facebook, I just want it to function more like facebook. Facebook has a very minimal amount of navigation by putting everything into “apps.” I don’t want to do that, but I also don’t think I need navigation just to see each of my friends’ events, groups etc. I am just interested in seeing who is attending each individual event, or who is a member of each individual group.

My ideal design is this: The front page lists upcoming events, new groups and recent activity including blog entries, which is already possible. The top navigation remains the way it is with links to each component. I can see my own profile and friends’ profiles. I can see a list of all events, all groups, and within those events and groups I can see who is attending. Finally, each group has events and a blog. Each blog is primarily used to talk about and link to the group’s events. I guess that is exactly what we already have, but I feel like the default design is almost too much functionality for my needs.

I think I am going to take apart the default member theme and show you what I mean. Then we can go from there, because I think a lot of people might like a more simple member theme.

Tutsie-

Great! I’m glad you’re back in business.

As you’ve discovered, one of the first places to look when having BuddyPress issues is possible plugin conflicts.

Philpeter-

This clearly looks like a permissions-based issue. A couple of questions:

1. What are the permissions for blog.dir?
2. What, if any, errors are showing up in your log files?
3. Have you tried disabling all plugins except BuddyPress and switching to the default themes?
