BuddyPress.org

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.

The widget titles are hardcoded at the moment. Which one do you want to change? Here’s the pattern for each:

Members widget – /mu-plugins/bp-core/bp-core-widgets.php

Lines 12/13 :

register_sidebar_widget( __('Members', 'buddypress'), 'bp_core_widget_members');

register_widget_control( __('Members', 'buddypress'), 'bp_core_widget_members_control' );

Change ‘Members’ to ‘Whatever’

If you have them running already they will disappear from the backend and your theme. Just put put them back again.

Latest bp rev 850 solves the 404 problem. Disable all work arounds!

So what your saying is to go to dashboard > write > page under title put “members”?

I assume that means you create a empty page called members.

That’s very reassuring that you’re using dsaders privacy plugin, too. Nice to see such a simple solution already exists to provide private BuddyPress communities while not affecting the privacy of individual’s blogs. In education, I can see this being very attractive. Hopefully Andy is aware of this for future core feature development.

How do you create a page with the same slug as the members directory?

LOL

This is exactly what I was coming over to ask about.

I’ve been searching high n low for a script or set of scripts that would allow me to run a ‘ning’ type network on my servers. For now I would be happy to just have the type of features these sites have, but I can see extending it to offer subnets like ning does.

So far I have yet to find any piece of software that I can purchase that allows users to have blogs/photo’s/video’s (upload with conversion through ffmpeg, not youtube links etc), forums/social groups etc.

It seems that buddypress may well someday be the closest, enless there is a whole other field of professional software that I am unaware of

It could be BuddyPress MU,

good idea!

Nicola,

BP GURU & BPDEV

I have a text file in the root of my BP installation with the revision in it. When I upgrade, I changed the revision in the file. All I have to do is call the file in my browser and voila. I do the same with WPMU.

https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/buddypress-theme/member-themes/member-themes-readme.txt

If you goto the directory where you checked out the svn repository, and run this, it will tell you the version you currently have checked out:

svn status -u

The out may look something like this, depending on how close to current you are:

~/public_html/beta/buddypresssvn]$ svn status -u

Status against revision: 845

if you are not up to date, it will show changes between your checkout and the trunk, similar to this:

~/public_html/beta/buddypresssvn]$ svn status -u

* 844 bp-languages/buddypress.pot

Status against revision: 845

This tells me that the language file has been updated since my last checkout.

you can then run

svn up

to bring your directory up to currrent status.

If you used the zip to download a copy this will not work.

I’ve not tested it extensively yet, but this plugin:

http://wpmudev.org/project/More-Privacy-Options

seems to allow the blocking of all users, except the registered community, from viewing anything related to buddypress.

If I set “I would like my blog to be visible only to registered users from blog community” for the main/first blog where all the buddypress features sit, then you have to login before being able to see anything except for blogs, which have their own privacy options.

Is it really this simple to create a private social networking community but allow the blog privacy to remain under the control of the blog owner? I hope so. Perhaps someone can test and verify this?

Thanks.
