BuddyPress.org

the Shouty Theme has a profile page with horizontal bars: http://www.buddydress.com/2009/04/shouty-theme/

i haven’t tested it with the 1.0 release, but it worked fine with the Rc2.

You can see some profile examples here:

this is available as a plugin, i think its called newblog defaults or similar, i think i remember getting it from bp-dev.org

It definitely looks awesome and moving the nav bars to the top makes a lot of sense in terms of utilizing space a little bit better… the default theme is awesome as well though, Andy and whomever was involved with that did a great job…. which isn’t always the case with default themes….

This is a problem on wpmu side, and buddypress is not involved.

Make sure you have setup your virtualhost and followed the instructions when setting up wpmu.

Actually I’m just surprised that no one has yet. I am somewhat reluctant to do so at the moment because things are still changing fast, but now it seems a little more stable. I think I want a much more simple design than most people would, so I can understand why you made it that way. My users are college students, so it needs to function just like Facebook. I am using it for campus groups to post their events, form online groups and start blogging. The main focus in on the events. BuddyPress is exactly what I have always dreamed of because I don’t like Ning.

For what it’s worth – the customization of this theme was done in 2 days and based on the original default theme. If you are competent with CSS then it should not a be problem for you.

I don’t understand why they didn’t just model it from their own awesome member theme. Even the skeleton member theme is more or less the same as the default.

It’s because the awesome member theme was a customization of the default theme. The default themes have been around since BuddyPress was first made available as a release candidate.

So, as Nicola and DJPaul suggest, if you want to create your own custom themes, by using either the skeleton theme or the default themes you have a solid foundation from which to work!

The skeleton is built to allow theme developers a base to start from. That’s all.

The default member theme sucks, and I haven’t seen anyone significantly modify it. I plan to do so at some point, but I don’t understand why they didn’t just model it from their own awesome member theme. Even the skeleton member theme is more or less the same as the default. You would have to make significant modifications to the skeleton theme itself for it to be anything like the buddypress.org member theme.

Specific issues:

Profile fields are way too spaced out.

The navigation design isn’t really necessary.

The wire should be on top, and profile fields in a small table below. Everything else is mostly unnecessary.

Ahah, you’ve conceive the idea of BuddyPress MU

I think when BP will be a plugin for WP this plugin will start the game

If you can install it on wp it means you can install it on a single blog, that means you can install it on a mu blog ( a subdomain or a subdirectory as you want )

As Andy says 2000 times, this theme will not released, but tweaks to make a theme like that will be shared

Anyway look at css and make your own

It doesn’t give me 404, instead it gives 500 internal server error.

What is SimpleScript? I’ve never heard of it, and to install buddypress, you just need one click from wpmu. You should also provide more information such as wpmu/buddypress versions in use.

This isn’t possible, yet. Coming in a future release
