@blackarbor:
You could modify the BuddyPress TOS plugin and change that to an Age Verification field.

hello. i cannot wait to use buddypress! I have one problem however. I wanted to change the colors of the theme, so I went under bphome and modified base.css. That takes care of the homepage, but how do I make the colors of the other pages (blogs, members, and groups) the same colors as the homepage?
Thank you.

I have to save a single parameter of my objects.
What is the best to do with buddypress ?
Initially, I did
$sql = $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$bp->classifieds->table} SET status='published' WHERE id='%d'", $classified_id );
if ($wpdb->query($sql) ) return true;
But is it or not better to do this
$classified_obj->status = 'published';
if ($classified_obj->save()) return true;
It seems cleaner but I guess then it update all the object’s fields… And that the first example updates just one field !
What is preferable ?
Thanks
No, not impossible. You’ll have to write your own plugins.
I have a wordpress-mu theme operating on a customized theme. I am new to buddypress. I have it all installed and now I want to make one of my wordpress-mu subpages the main page for the buddypress home. I thought about renaming the subpage to “members” but that isn’t exactly the home for the social networking. How do I get my buddypress theme index.php to show up on my mydomain.com/subpage URL?
wpmu 2.8.2, bp 1.0.3, bbpress 1.0.2
I believe my integration is working as advertised but… when I delete a forum topic from a buddypress group it is removed from the group forum but not deleted from bbpress. Over time the bbpress forum will have a growing number of topics/posts that group admins think they have deleted (from buddypress) but actually live on in bbpress.
I’m not sure if tags within buddypress group forums are working. Tags can be added but I only find them available when directly accessing bbpress. While on the buddypress side, I’m not able to search groups for tags in the group forum.
Are these issues of a bad integration on my part or just limits of the current versions?
The Ajax redirect in this solution, with the register?s=1, had some annoying side effects that made it unusable. See the original thread for details.
Or did you fix that problem, sandeepdude? I’m a bit reluctant to try it again and find out that it’s the exact same code…
I’ll look for a solution in the next few days. Another way to show an Ajax message after redirect would probably be part of the solution.
Does anyone know how to display a message with Ajax/jQuery after a normal redirect?
Specifically I need it for code I’m trying to put together to close most of the site for not-logged-in users, so for example when they try to open the members section they get redirected back to the home page, where they will see a message: “please log in or register first”
I’ve tried several searches on this, but was only able to pull up Ajax as alternative for redirect examples; I need a variable message after regular redirects.
Apologies if it’s not OK to post a general Ajax question like this in the miscellaneous section.
I think this page provides some clues. I’ll get back to that after some late lunch… [passing out…]
This is awesome. I was just looking around the BuddyPress features and wondering why the heck there was no “group blog” feature. And then sure enough, somebody was already working on it. Thanks!!
Apparently a “full-featured privacy (authorization) component for BuddyPress” is in the works for a future release. I hope that includes an approval process, but member management in general seems to be very low on the priority list of the Buddypress developers and community. If you need it anytime soon, I’d look into developing your own plugins.
I’ve been testing GD Star Rating on WPMU and Buddypress and have noted a few bugs to Milan (the developer).
I’ve asked him to see if he can hijack the BP activity stream; so when a rating is made, instead of the default “User commented on the blog post Hello World”, it will change to something else like “User wrote a review for Hello World”… or something like that.
Since it’s one of the most complicated plugins to setup and understand, I’m not going to allow GD Star Rating site-wide so the issues that Kunal17 is having won’t be an issue for me.
Gpo1,
I am using GDStarRating on 1 of my blogs though not on buddypress homeblog. I want to use it with multiple blogs but several users are reporting errors on the authors homepage so I am waiting for a more stable version.
Anybody using this gdstarrating?

Hi everybody,
I am getting this Error in my general activity Rss Feed :
Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in …/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-templatetags.php on line 355
I saw the same problem in this post
http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/getting-rss-error#post-13676
but the solution doesn’t work for me
PS : i’m running PHP5 and i’m using WordPress MU 2.7.1. + buddypress 1.0.1
Does anyone met the same problem ?
THANKS for your help !
Hi: the uptop nav menu worked fine but suddenly the options (dropdown) below My Blogs disapeared. It only shows you blog’s name or ‘create a blog’ with the rest such as ‘Dashboard, New Post, etc…” gone. Anyone has an idea? The site under construction is http://www.tatazara.com
Thanx a bunch
David
I’m starting a work at home community site. So far, it’s just the basic theme.
@gaganawhad, the “Skeleton component” is for BP plugins!
What you want is the BP Skeleton Member Theme, which can be found in:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bpskeletonmember/
Move that folder to:
/wp-content/bp-themes/
Activate it in the WPMU admin area – “BuddyPress > General Settings” and you should be ready to start theming!
I’m with you carlmartin10. I’m running the latest WPMU and just updated svn for buddyPress and am still unable to get the avatars to upload or display. There’s a ton of results when you do a search on the problem, but pretty much all of them either tell you to update or set the permissions. If that doesn’t solve the problem, we’re pretty much left out in the cold!
Let me know if that works. It would go in wp-content/themes/bphome/css/site-wide.css
When I saw you all talking about using Javascript just to center a theme and give it a fixed width… I sensed someone somewhere along the line went down a rabbit hole 
LOL.
Thanks, that’s a better suggestion, not really much of a coder, just stumble across solutions..
If I find something that works I try and share that, but more often than not someone else has a much better idea, so not sure if its a help or hindrance……try to steer clear of javascript where possible though
Javascript?! Good lord. Just make a site-wide.css file with one line of code in it
body {width: 970px;}
Does that not work?
Have a look in your sitemeta table. There are some buddypress records you need to remove.
As there was no solution provided here and its been some time ago maybe this has been resolved, but its a problem that I encountered.
I haven’t fully tested this but after a hunt around I found a couple of techniquues.
Using javascript to refresh on resize between the <head> tags causes infinite loops in IE in some cases so that will not solve the problem.
I found out though that if you include position:relative in all of your main outer divs including body and body.directory in the IE fixes css files in the bphome and bpmember themes your problems should go away…
Let me know if this works for you….as I’ve only tested it locally and on IE7…
