BuddyPress.org

Erich73-

I’m sure it could be worked to get it to play well with BuddyPress!

At the bare minimum, there are some important changes/additions to certain theme files and folders that would need to be made as detailed here in the section entitled “Upgrading the Theme files”.

Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts on how to extend and expand BuddyPress!

The best way to communicate your ideas to BP developers is through one (or both) of these links:

https://buddypress.org/groups/buddypress-features

https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket –> log into trac using your BuddyPress.org username and password, and create a new ticket for an enhancement request.

Thanks for the post, Kusal!

I’m not sure if this was an issue when you posted it 8 hours ago, but I can see a BP favicon on the home, forum, and all member pages.

Are you running BP version 1.0? Is your old theme a custom theme?

Assuming that you upgraded to v1.0, carefully read the section entitled “Upgrading the Theme files” in this BuddyPress Codex link.

You’re welcome–although I don’t know how helpful I’ve been.

With FTP, you should be able to go into your web root and do pretty much anything you want–that is assuming your hosting firm gives you FTP access privileges.

ie6 only displays 800px screens. is there a way to trick firefox or chrome into behaving like that?

Well, it seems that you are trying to do just that via the CSS. I’m not sure what the issue is though?

I suppose you could use JavaScript to force a resize of the browser window but this would only work for users you have javascript enable (most do) and have not set the Firefox Option that prevents a script from moving or resizing a window. Look here: http://schleichermann.wordpress.com/2009/02/04/javascript-resize-window/

Another great FireFox Add-on is the Web Developer Tools. It may help you gain more insight into what is going on!

WOOTY WOOOO

The home theme is not designed to be activated on every members blog. You could create your own theme that brings in some BuddyPress features for each blog though. Users can actually add still add BuddyPress widgets to their blogs.

Ezd-

You can customize the home theme to accomplish that goal. To make sure that no one can enter the community until they’ve registered and logged in, you could try implementing some of these suggestions.

The community pages would be your customized member theme.

Another? Yes, you can change the default theme in the admin settings. A specific BuddyPress theme? No.

Hello,

I am facing exactly the same problem.

WPu correctly setup, and Buddypress activated as a plugin,

all the links at the top of WP lead to 400 :

The requested URL /press/members/admin/activity was not found on this server.

The requested URL /press/members/admin/profile was not found on this server.

The requested URL /press/members/admin/blogs was not found on this server.

…

I checked my WP folder, and no members folder.

How is it supposed to be created?

Thank you.

Dainismichel, I’ve been that route for the past year and a half. Nothing compares to buddypress that is out there. I’m hoping to find a skeleton theme that integrates the blogs nicely. I have one now from wildrot, but it will take a lot of work to get it production ready. I’ll keep you posted.

Anyone have a decent “community theme” set up that works for member blogs? Willing to share?

Show stopper for me too. Looking into http://wpmu.org/an-alternative-to-buddypress-three-new-wordpress-mu-plugins-communities-messaging-and-friends/

Best,

very interesting thread. i just started something similar here. https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2434

i totally thought the blogs were integrated into the home theme. i had no idea they weren’t. i was going to launch my site this weekend, now it’s looking pretty bad. i would have to hack a theme together, which stinks. i was really excited about the all in one integrated themes, especially at upgrade time. get the new features and no hacks on my theme!

i do like the look of that JPG, but wouldn’t care if it was identical. i would just love the integration of blogs into the home theme. any help or info I can provide to the community, I will post here. please do the same with regular updates.

this is a show stopper for me.

BuddyPress is a more socially focused, but still blog-centric, solution to social networking. From what it sounds like you want something social that gives each person a page to post to. You might try Ning.com or Drupal’s social networking option.

probably a simple oversight, but good catch! the old site had one.

Never mind. I just named it bb-force-login.php and put it in the bb-plugins directory. Works like a charm!

Group Discussion Board:

I would like to see the possibility to be able to reply directly to a forum-post, so that:

1)

everybody understand to which forum-post my post refers to.

2)

the person I am replying to will receive an e-mail which notifies him that I have posted a feedback to his entry

like threaded Forum and threaded Comment-system ( http://www.toni.org ).

Currently, it is very hard to find my own forum-posts and replies to my post within BuddyPress. You agree ?

Many thanks,

Erich

The update buddypress link in plugins section in hinting me. Can I upgrade just by hitting that link?

Worked fine for me. You’ll still need to move the themse folders to the proper places, activate the new home theme, and go into the BuddyPress > General Settings and Save the member theme. Or at least, I did.

You are using the new bp home theme for *all* blogs?

All blogs are using /themes/bphome

All blogs used to be using /themes/buddypress-home

You have manually gone in to each blog’s Appearance > Theme menu and selected the bp home theme. Now the nav links return 404 on anything other than blog id 1.

Correct?
