Doing a relaunch of the flash literature zine Burst Fiction with the main focus being a BP powered area for the writer community. Still working on the themes, haven’t officially announced it open but please feel free to pick it apart and give any constructive criticism.

Regardless of how it’s done, the key is to ensure the user has access to the Twitter settings in the Buddypress profile area. Existing Twitter plugins are all managed on the WPMU backend which many of us are trying to avoid.

ok, first of all, in Revolution style.css:

#header: padding 25px 20px

(so the topnavbar will show under admin bar).

then You gotta to add to style.css this:

#content: width 610px (or in #postarea)

Sorry if I tell You, but your css is not well integrated between Revolution css and Buddypress css. That’s the main problem if the site looks not so good.

If you need more help you’re free to ask.

Damn Kunkel, that’s one nice theme. Did you make it yourself or did someone else make it for you?

I’m actually looking for someone who can customize a theme for me and integrate Buddypress and bbPress in it.

This all sounds fantastic (even though I myself have yet to really “Get” the whole twitter thing).

One thought though… would it be better for the eg-twitter plugin to remain a simple “helper” plugin, a means of storing the credentials against the extended profile, and write the additional BuddyPress twitter integration as a seperate bp plugin that utilises that helper. That way eg-twitter can become a standard twitter integration point for other BuddyPress plugins as I think Erwin originally envisaged it?

According to jjj, a privacy component is currently being developed and should be released as part of version 1.1. Read John’s post in this thread for more details: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1590#post-8019.

So, what you are asking will be possible in the near future. When will version 1.1 be released? Well, since BuddyPress version 1.0 has not yet even been officially released, I cannot answer that question.

How hard do you think integrating BuddyPress into a site already running WP would be? Would it just be a matter of inserting php tags into where you would like certain features to appear? Or would it mean redesigning a whole theme so that it would work with BuddyPress?

I’m not much of a coder, but I know my way around. About how hard do you think integration with a WP theme would be?

I think that file is located in WP-content/mu-plugins/bp-blogs/directories/bp-blog-directory-blog.php file.

i say…wait. BuddyPress will be released for WordPress (not MU) in a near future. I cannot say when, but the developers are working on this.

Hey vskylabv, wait before leavin Revolution!

I’m currently adapting a Streamline theme to buddypress so I can help you!

You could use DarkPress: it’s cool, it’s for buddypress, and it’s free

Just started and definitely still a long way to go!!!

After three days of fiddling around I finally managed to fully integrate bbPress, so now I have to figure out how to add “Forum” to the menu and include all the header section into bbPress. The design will also be custon when I’m finished.

The site: http://domainelements.com/

As soon as 2.7.1 comes out, BuddyPress will be 2.7.1 only. So time to upgrade.

I’ll jump on the wagon here – has there been any progress since this series of posts?

This support forum looks great, and as all I’m using is a modified buddypress theme whatever this site uses would be perfect.

Anything around that could do the job?

The prospect of starting from scratch isn’t something I’m particularly keen on to be honest.

bobman024, I’m kinda lost here. What plugin are we talking about? bpGroups? Download the latest at: http://code.ourcommoninterest.org/2009/02/14/buddypress-group-forums-for-bbpress/

I just downloaded that ver and set it up again. Activates and operates.

sgrunt, ya I guess you wouldn’t need to mod the widget code, just the theme code. hmm. Well if Andy says it’ll go away by updating to latest trunk then it will. Warning! The theme directories have changed. See: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1675

I new this issue was familiar: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=976

Nobody seems to have figured out why this is happening. Please describe your configuration. subdirectory/subdomain, wpmu installed in a sub dir or the root, what ver of wpmu, …

We are never gonna figure this out otherwise.

You’ll have to modify the member theme functions that display the fields in the profile. That gets generated in: /buddypress-member/profile/profile-loop.php

by the function: bp_the_profile_field_value() in /mu-plugins/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-templatetags.php

There’s a filter in there that you can hook: echo apply_filters( ‘bp_the_profile_field_value’, $field->data->value, $field->type, $field->id );

So that you can detect these specific fields and change what gets generated by bp.
