Site Admin > BuddyPress > Show admin bar for logged out users: NO
Easy? You mean like going to McDonalds and getting a cheeseburger easy?
Or going to the store buying all the fixings, coming home and making a cheeseburger easy?
Line 34 of bp-activity-widgets.php is the spot that echos the sitewide activity stuff you see. The loop around it uses the var $item which is of the flavor ‘array’ containing amongst other things the condiment : $item. If you use the proper kitchen utensil : bp_core_get_avatar( $item, 1 ) you are well on your way to making a normal size burger. That gets you the 50×50 avatar.
If your really hungry you could use bp_core_get_avatar( $item, 2 ). That gets you the big avatar.
So, is it McDonalds today or the kitchen?
I think Charlie Stout’s talk about farming in relation to bp has made me hungry.

Hi Trent,
I finally gave up on cookie integration and went with just the wordpress integration. I got farther along in that I can post topics now with no errors, but adding a reply gives the dreaded red “There was an error posting that reply.” Looking over your last post gave me pause though. Are you saying to install only wpmu and bbpress, get them working, then install buddypress? Maybe I’m just tired, but the instructions from bp-forums/installation-readme.txt dont’ seen to follow that route. Makes sense though. I keep saying I’ve attempted this for the last time and moving on, but I find myself pulled back in once more with a faint glimmer of hope. I hope this isn’t the definition of insanity (always expecting different results).
Thanks for all your time in helping us.
I’m at a loss how you would work a shopping cart into BuddyPress (from a conceptual, not technical standpoint). Are you trying to create an environment where everyone has their own store? If that’s the case, you could easily adapt a standard ecommerce theme into a Buddypress compatible one and make that the one and only blog theme for users. Just curious.

and a coulpe of other ones too.
I love buddy press but i am a little green on it.
Still werkin on it check it out: http://www.social.hiphopdashboard.com
also peep http://www.hiphopdashboard.com
Still trying to tweak them both but let me kno what ya guys think.
Thanks for the suggestion. Do you plan to test with buddypress? Since the developer has no immediate plans to support wpmu I’d like to know if it works with wpmu and buddypress before shelling out any money.
i found a solution below for anyone else that needs it, but it didn’t work 100%. i can now search for all my members, and they all show up when you click on a letter in the member directory but the total count and list of initial members doesn’t show up when you click on the main “Members” link from the front page. ideas as to why?
here is the solution I found if you are migrating an existing site to buddypress. run these 3 separately against your database in this order:
(#1) insert into wp_bp_xprofile_data (user_id,value) select ID,user_login from wp_users;
(#2) update wp_bp_xprofile_data set field_id = “1” where field_id “0”;
(#3) update wp_bp_xprofile_data set last_updated = “2008-12-24 11:39:36” where last_updated = “0000-00-00 00:00:00”;
this will allow your existing wordpress users to have some initial buddypress profile data in order for the member directory to work properly.
if several languages are installed both on wpmu and bdpress
do users can choose their language indenpendantly ?
in profile there is a way to make people to choose their first language.
it would be great to link this with an available language transmation of buddypress.
Thanks David. I thought it might be useful to let people know that the bp core and all the lovely components can be accessed from any theme, any time. It ain’t rocket science, it’s programming.
I’m not too familiar with pastie. I’ve just used it a couple of times. It’s browsable? I just though it was a net wide scratch pad.
Nicola! I posted the same stuff over at buddypressdev.org too.
both the first and the second link works well.. try download it directly here http://buddypressdev.org/download/3
Due to the holidays over here, i haven’t had a chance to look at this but if it works well done. BTW, I tried the link on your .org site first and got a 404.
There is more than one way to skin a cat – in fact your example is very close to the v.0.1.0 example i created a few days back. Both of these work for VERY simple components. Nice to see a slightly different execution. The more ways we can show this, the faster people will learn. Good job!
Hi wardeh. I was checking the ‘topics with no replies’ and saw you here. All by your lonesome self. How goes the battle this week?
You don’t want to turn off groups but you just don’t want the option to create more groups to be available. Well, you want group creation to be a site admin thing only. Hmmm…
I went and looked at the member theme code and finally arrived in the core code and lo and behold Andy was thinking of you! There is an unused option for the menu items. ‘site admin’ only. You’ll have to modify one line to turn off the group creation option for everyone except you.
In the file /mu-plugins/bp-groups.php at line 205. This currently reads:
bp_core_add_subnav_item( $bp, 'create', __('Create a Group', 'buddypress'), $groups_link, 'groups_screen_create_group', false, bp_is_home() );
Change that line to read:
bp_core_add_subnav_item( $bp, 'create', __('Create a Group', 'buddypress'), $groups_link, 'groups_screen_create_group', false, bp_is_home(), true );
That change adds the ‘true’ parameter at the end which normally defaults to ‘false’. It’s the ‘site admin only’ sees this menu item flag.
Merry Christmas. 
UPDATED, i wrote an example plugin that works without adding files in member-theme 
You can find a small post here http://buddypressdev.org/forums/topic.php?id=7
That explain a bit about this example extending component that i called bpdev-example
I forgot, here you can download bpdev-example : http://buddypressdev.org/plugins/bpdev-example
@dimensionmedia,
I’m sorry. So, i think that you don’t need add files in /member-theme/ because you can write your plugin without adding files in /member-theme/ for example you can write:
function test_page_settings() {
global $current_user, $bp_settings_updated, $pass_error;
add_action( 'bp_template_title', 'test_page_title' );
add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'test_page_content' );
add_action( 'bp_template_content_header', 'test_page_tabs' );
bp_catch_uri('plugin-template');
}
function test_page_title() {
_e( 'Hello title', 'buddypress' );
}
function test_page_content() {
global $bp, $current_user, $bp_settings_updated, $pass_error; ?>
<p>Hello Content</p>
<?php
function test_page_tabs() {
global $bp, $create_group_step, $completed_to_step;
?>
<ul class="content-header-nav">
<li>Hello Tabs</li>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
With that you don’t need to add page in /member-theme/. I think that users that install a plugins want only add files on mu-plugins/.
Think if i’ve another member-theme that isn’t like the default, and i would like add this plugin..
I hope i explain well now
sorry, my bad .. I created “the bug”
@Nic. Unfort. i’m guessing what you are saying. It’s not clear, but i realize english is not your first language. The examples above include how to simply modify the existing BuddyPress theme. Plugin-template is actually a nice starting point, I just added more to my examples. Thanks for the feedback.
I think that you don’t need using page to add in your member theme :S look plugin-template.php
UPDATE: This trumps the first version of bp-test mentioned above.
Basically I have created three versions of bp-test which allows one to learn and hopefully start building BP components. Here is a blog post with screencaps:

Version 0.1.0:
This version is very close to the proof of concept screenshots for Twitter and Friendfeed. Very basic – it just adds a menu and two submenus to that menu. It should automatically also add the menu to the “BuddyPress Bar†that appears at the top and (by default) is grey.
Version 0.1.1:
This version adds the “header tab†navigation you see in the screenshot on my blog. This requires a few additional PHP functions, and therefore increases the complexity a little bit. I also added a few BuddyPress PHP functions in the sample page that you should become familiar with but are very straightforward. This version rounds out how to create major navigational elements in BuddyPress.
Version 0.1.2:
This (final?) version changes the “Second Page†into an example of showing rowed results (similar to what you see on the wire page). This bumps up the complexity a bit since we use alot more PHP functions, mostly stored in the bp-test-templatetags.php file. We also use several classes seen in bp-test-classes.php and bp-test-templatetags.php. Also add a “standard†(of sorts) filter file (bp-test-filters.php). If you are planning on displaying anything in a table/row format like in the screenshot above, then you will want to examine this version. I have removed AJAX references to make it easier. Honestly this is all very close to the WIRE BuddyPress component so if you want to look at that as well, especially if you have the hang of this and just need to add in AJAX, that would be a wise move.
These three versions support potential BuddyPress components ranging from the very simple to more-or-less the level of some of the current BuddyPress beta components. These building blocks will hopefully be a learning tool first (if you don’t understand what they do, then you won’t get very far) and a time saver second.
eheheh, now i understand your sarcasm. Next time try to use smiles like
nicola, I’ve been teaching you american slang in irc. This is your first lesson in sarcasm. I keep forgetting that english is your second language. Sorry. Trying to be funny and failing miserably.
Howdy. You can modify the member theme’s target for successful login in the /member-themes/buddypress-theme/header.php file. Lines 53 and 55. It redirects people to site_url() you can send them where you’d like by replacing that with your destination.
If your user elects to login via the buddybar you can edit the file /mu-plugins/bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php in the function bp_adminbar_login_menu() at line 33. Another similar line where they get redirected to ‘siteurl’.
You may want to try a larger image. There are still issues, but currently buddypress doesn’t have anyway to “upsize” images before cropping. The early beta had a minimum image size of 450x450px, and generally have had pretty good luck when using images of that size or larger.
