BuddyPress.org

i am on wpmu 2.7 bleeding edge and i ahve installed the plugin and i dont seem to be able to have the captcha form on my signup page…

any thoughts

I would use my custom home theme and it would be nice to have more member themes for BP?

custom themes sure! for home theme,

for member theme.. customize that too!

and make sure you upload it to http://www.freebuddypressthemes.com!

I personally feel that sooner or later, we’ll be seeing a slew of themes that are BP-ready. They could be either mods of current WP themes or completely custom themes. I would imagine theme designers will start making them available to the public, as well as designing them for their own use. Not many people are going to be happy using the same theme as everybody else, which you can see because lots of people are skinning the theme and others are making BP work with standard WP themes. I’m working with the Hybrid template (http://themehybrid.com) to make a custom bp-home theme for BP.

Still in beta, but getting closer! http://learnshareact.com

I created a ticket for the duplicate post in widget issue – seems like it hadn’t been reported previously.

http://www.conexionesbcn.com is a Barcelona based small business startup – we will develop our business site using Buddypress

http://berra.graphic-studio.ch

The site http://www.young-people.ch will be transfered to WPMU & Buddypress (see link above)

Edit mu-plugins/bp-friends.php, mu-plugins/bp-friends/bp-friends-notifications.php, mu-plugins/bp-friends/bp-friends-templatetags.php,mu-plugins/bp-friends/bp-friends-widgets.php and the files in the member-themes/buddypress-member/friends…it may take a little while, but you have to look for places where it says “Friends” and change it to “Contacts”. There is also one more place you have to change my friends for the activity navigation, look in mu-plugins/bp-activity.php. I did it all manually. I am building a site for business usage as well. The great thing about buddypress is the files are easily customizable. I hope this helps.

as soon i’ll release it, i can’t understand your question, but it could be useful,

Can you clarify…does this plug-in work with BuddyPress/WPMU? The installation instructions seem to be for WordPress in general, not MU. And I saw in another forum that this plug-in breaks WPMU.

Can you verify that it works with BuddyPress? If so, can you provide installation instructions?

Thanks.

The formatting on the BuddyPress side is fixed in the latest trunk.

I’m not sure what you mean. It’s possible for users to choose traditional WordPress themes for their blogs, while using BuddyPress themes for the BuddyPress-related stuff. I struggled with this too, but if you read the instructions for the individual theme downloads, it makes more sense. The instructions for the package download don’t exactly make it clear.

So, I’ve got a BuddyPress home theme with its own name, a BuddyPress member theme (which is required), and then a traditional WP theme I’ve set to “default” (by changing its directory name to “default”), which is the default things for user blogs. And I will also have a selection of traditional themes that users can switch their blogs to.

Good luck!

Gotta be mikepratt and apeatling. Just guessing. lol. We were just discussing that on #buddypress irc.freenode.net

Join us.

I’m hoping BP will be released with themes that do work in all major browsers.

I get the same error when updating to 1.0/

Installed BuddyPress theme in “wp-content/themes/default”

How do I Update my home theme as suggested?

AFAK aka AFAIK usually means “as far as I know”. Forums are already in the 1.0 release, but none of the original posters other points. They area actually all being addressed by plugins with the exception of internal photo galleries which are coming after the 1.0 release. There is flickr plugin on buddypressdev.org though as well as Youtube. The invite system is there, but not finished yet.

@PerS you have experience with js? Andy is looking for some help in that area. Another pair of eyes : https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=847

The install docs tell us that we need to follow the directions in:

/mu-plugins/buddypress-theme/readme.txt

to get the themes in the right spots.
