You should extend the deadline Daniel. With the downtime and people only really finding out about this in the last week, it’s not long enough to think about, design and build a decent theme. Just my 2 cents.

You should think of a home theme as just a standard WordPress blog theme. It is no different other than a few new files to handle directories.

A member theme is a “BuddyPress” theme, and should probably be called that.

You should treat them as two entirely different themes, your WordPress theme should have the styles and images for just the WordPress parts and your BuddyPress theme should have the styles and images for just the BuddyPress parts.

You could of course still provide the two themes in one download package, but they should still work independently. It’s not a good idea at all to make the themes dependent on one another. Someone may want to use your member theme but keep their own blog theme.

I’ll be writing more docs on this soon.

This is a theme problem. You seem to have solved that issue. You have another fatal error when viewing the blogs directory:

Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /home/ladsmy/public_html/community/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-core.php on line 930

If you temporarily switch to the standard bp home theme does this happen? If your problems go away by switching to the bp home theme then you need to contact your theme’s author.

pietro28 is saying that his permalink structure changed. It can’t by simply installing bp.

I’m posting from my blackberry so someone can confirm, but I think Andy is saying that the functions.php in the BuddyPress Home theme is what hijacks the url and makes this happen? If I remember correctly? Sorry don’t have the source in front of me at the moment…

gogoplata, this is running a week old now. Is it resolved? I’m turning off the light until you switch it back on.

People let me say this clearly: BP DOES NOT CHANGE THE PERMALINK STRUCTURE OF ANY BLOG!

There is no instance of the global object $wp_rewrite in any bp code or any call to $wp_rewrite->set_permalink_structure()

Not in the member theme, not in the home theme and not in any bp plugin.

bp is not changing the permalink structure. The only thing bp does is hijack the word ‘blog’ and load the index.php template. That’s it.

@pietro28, what version of bp and wpmu are you using? Did you install wpmu in the directory mysite.com/blog ?

This thread has a solution. It turns off all the auto linking in the profile fields. Right now it’s either on or off.

Just a sneak peak

Anyone else?

No it isn’t going to as of yet.

There is no direct link between a normal forum and BuddyPress. Perhaps the bbGroups plugin could be modified to handle this type of thing, but that’s just handing Burt more implied work to do.

Good job getting everything synchronized though!

Could this be added in the Buddypress Settings, in site admin – possibly under “Base profile group name” field?

It would be nice to enter a name for each, and all places ie. ‘Members’ is mentioned it would be updated to chosen name.

Members could be named anything – Patrons, Users, Constituents, Associates, Individuals, People etc.

Groups could be Teams, Bands, Parties, Crowds, Communities, Gangs, Scenes etc.

A new install and still playing with it http://www.chatzooky.com

ooops

False alarm on my blank page sarga.

It was NOT connected to the bp-components; it was the super cache plugin since i moved directories.

The plugin uses a fixed path!

I only found that out by going through the code echoing a timestamp and exiting code block by block. Finally followed the culprit code to an advanced-cache include in wp-settings.

Oh well!

Looking forward to bp v1 with its auto upgrade.

You’re in luck I just had to do this myself, and here is how I did it.

I created a new php file that I wanted to use for the page and added this to the top of the file:

<?php

/*

Template Name: MY_TEMPLATE_NAME

*/

?>

you can make, MY_TEMPLATE_NAME, whatever, but be careful there are some reserved template names.

Save this file in the root directory of your home theme (i.e. wp-content/themes/buddypress-home) now under your admin blog write a new page (NOT POST), make the title relevant to what you want, but don’t put anything in the actual page.

Scroll down to the “Page Template” menu and when expanded you should see a drop down box with the “MY_TEMPLATE_NAME” as an option. choose that and now just copy down your permalink, and that is the direct link to your newly created page. SIMPLE! I also added in my side_bar to the page I created so that the navigation menu stayed put as I move through all of my pages.

This is only if you install the BuddyPress home theme. It should not do this if you just use your existing theme.

Free licensing is kind of crucial I’d say. Why not use GPL, like BuddyPress does?
