Ok thanks Burtadsit. Im going to play around with some of the albums currently available for wordpress to see If I can intergrate them into buddypress
as you wish, however i’ve published a new version of the theme compatible with the latest trunk
I’ve seen some buddypress sites, where user profile field has both linked and non-linked contents.
Does anybody know how they fixed the profile?
Thanks for all of your input on the theme. I have decided to go a different route and installed a diff home theme and just making some small css changes to the members theme.
Please see this posting. I had the same question and this worked for me:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1629
Actually Burtadsit it’s happening to the “private messages” section of my buddypress install. Specifically the subject of the message before a user clicks to open it. Anytime there’s an apostrophe in the subject of a private message (in my installation), the slashes are added.
How can I remove them? I’m using Trunk 1211
I really don’t understand what you are trying to do. You want to create a new member theme?
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/creating-a-custom-buddypress-theme/
this plugin just works fine on wpmu and buddypress. I’ve just tested with my yahoo account via openid. and it creates user account without any errors.
ok solved the registration problem!
ok, we’re gonna to see the light, i’m making all required changes and keeping them working, if you wish i could write a little documentation after this. I’ve only a question: the signup button now leads to the WMPU registration page and not to the buddypress register. Could you tell me if i’m doing something bad or if this is an upgrade issue?
Thanx Andy, i’m sure that the final version will be a great success.
hi Andy, after having this issue i’ve rembered your mail that anticipated the changes. But in my opinion downloading the latest trunk with no indication in sticky posts or in the readme.txt is a pain (yes,i’m receiving a lot of emails from theme users).
I hope to see a sticky post with documentation for this upgrade: it will be very useful. I think that directories must be styled from directory.css in the bp-theme?
A hat? Where should I claim for it??? 
@Dace: Your best bet is start a new theme out of the buddypress_home and _member theme, rename it and place the custom.css from the FaceBuddy guys…
Take a look at Emigrando.info… It worked like a charm (I even manage to adapt Andy’s BP-Facebook Connect plugin with “Invite Friends” capabilities! A very dirty workaround… but it works anyway! still needs some polishment though)
I had the same problem as Jeffca. After updating the latest, the blog and group slugs got broken just as above. I deleted buddypress, re-installed and it’s now working fine.
The readme in the trunk hasn’t been updated to reflect this change, just FYI.
Sorr but can you tell me how to do it exactly because i m a super noob and don t know too much PHP also.
Thank you
For anyone who has this problem —
1. Copy the /directories/ folder from the default BuddyPress member theme into your own BuddyPress member theme.
2. Copy the /css/directories.css and /css/loader.php from the default member theme to your own theme’s /css/ directory.
3. Reload the page, but make sure you have cleared your browser cache.
These changes will make it much much much easier to change the design of the directory pages.
Sgrunt: not sure if you got my message mentioning the changes?
The directories have moved to the member theme instead. They have proper template files now that you can skin far easier. You should be able to copy your styles from the blog to member theme.
Be aware of constant name changes in the functions.php too.
MEMBERS_SLUG is now BP_MEMBERS_SLUG.
There should be no more changes like this – it was a necessary change to help theme designers ready for 1.0.
Thx for ur quicky answers and support sgrunt !
Perhaps some clues in the trunk :
“removed blogs, groups and members directory from the home theme into the BuddyPress member theme. The directories now have their own templates and theme based CSS and provide much easier editing.
Moved the $bp global setup to a higher priority action – from the ‘wp’ action to the ‘plugins_loaded’ action. This stops occurrences where the $bp global was not defined yet.”
I\\\\\\\’m kinda confused by what you want and what you have done.
If you want both the member theme and the theme that you use on your wp blog to be similar then the two themes that are distributed with bp will work. If you install a different wp blog theme then you\\\\\\\’ll either have to modify the wp blog theme or the member theme to match.
The two themes are completely independent of each other.
It sounds like you are allowing your users to create their own blogs and you\’ve allowed the bp home theme to be available to them. You can, but don\’t have to do that. If you install more wp themes and make them available then they can choose any theme they want. If you don\’t want blog admins to have access to the bp home theme then disable it in Site Admin > Themes.
If you change the member theme then, yes, it applies to all users on your site. Users don\\\’t get to select their own member theme. It will be whatever you set it to.
Hi Guys,
freebpthemes.com is down AGAIN but you can find the contest details at
http://wpmu.org/first-ever-buddypress-theme-contest/
freebpthemes.com should be up mid week – currently moving servers
Organising an Open Coffee event for my local town over at http://clonmelcoffee.com also featuring the fantastic events plugin.
OK, well, the theme itself works, however, it prompts the member to add their own widgets and stuff. Basically, how can I create a pre-set member theme that all members just \”get,\” with widget settings and all?
Is that possible?
Best,
Dainis
PS: Also, when I switched the theme in the main admin area, my testmember blog theme stayed the same. I logged into testmember and changed the theme there. It would be cool, if all changes to the member theme would apply to all uses of the member theme. Is that the case, or are copies made and “hidden” somewhere?
Ha ha
If I’m gonna break this thang, then how do I back this mutha up? Thanks for the info on the plugins!
Cheers,
Dainis
