Why have you written to replace the member-themes directory??
You can change the name of facebuddy theme directory 
is that under gpl? <– if yes i’ll add styles for the bpdev-autosuggest plugin
Hi guys, i’ve created a free theme for BuddyPress that changes the look of homepage and member pages, keeping it in a facebook style. In this first attemp i’ve tried to stay simple, creating a minimal and clean style without using images (only 1 for the bground and 1 for your custom logo). Installation is really simple and you can overwrite your existing theme without loosing any file (you’ll overwrite only the footer cause i have inserted a little credits link). Hope you like it!
Download page: http://www.buddydress.com/2009/03/facebuddy-free-buddypress-theme/
Next themes will be more graphical and richs, stay tuned!
By far my number one plugin would be extending the multi-db to work with buddypress adding in replication as stated earlier. I believe Nicola may be working on this already though.
I would love a blog theme that integrates with the buddypress them so that way blogs don’t feel like they are separated entities.
Thanks,
Sebastian
Thanks for the advice
I translated 80% done. I uploaded on the web but some lines does not translate at all.
I triple check, make sure I translated that line.
What could be a problem?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Guys,
We’ve made some serious notes and are starting work on some of the larger ones, but here’s one to get you started – a nice, simple, configurable Terms of Service plugin freely available at our BuddyPress Plugins page over at WPMU DEV:
http://wpmu.org/our-first-buddypress-plugin-terms-of-service/
Enjoy – and you can also add your own BP plugins there to share with the community should you wish!
Origionally, BuddyPress was designed so the user profiles was one of the blogs…. user.domain.tld.
and so that would go to todays equivalent of domain.tld/members/user. since that was the case, the theme for those blogs would be the member theme, and to access that users blog the url would be: user.domain.tld/blog. because of this, the users blog would be incorporated into their profile.
Now, buddypress users profiles are completly unrelated to blogs and reside at a different URL. Therefore, for a user to create a blog, they would make one just like they would on a normal wpmu installation and choose from any installed (and enabled) theme.
if you want the blogs to be incorperated into the theme, maybe you could modify the member theme into a standard blog theme, name the folder default and don’t enable any other blog templates for the site.
this way, when a user creates a new blog, your theme (default) will be set for it. and it will load more seamlessly.
BTW: i don’t think there is a way for u to get the exact theme from the picture and have it work but maybe you can ask someone about that.
Does anyone know what would be the best way to get this level of integration of blogs and buddy press?

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to integrate the user blogs with a buddypress theme.
I came across this site: http://apeatling.wordpress.com/2008/06/12/new-buddypress-theme/
If you look at the blog template: http://apeatling.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/blog.jpg
That is exactly what I’m trying to do. Have the blogs feel like they are part of buddy press and not a separate entity.
I tried using the buddypress-home as the template of a blog and it doesn’t look like that. Even when I add widgets.
Thanks,
Sebastian
I would do this by going into /member-themes/buddypress-member/blogs/create.php and doing…
<?php if ( bp_blog_signup_enabled() ) : ?>
<?php
global $bp;
$blogs = bp_blogs_get_blogs_for_user($bp->loggedin_user->id);
if ($blogs['count'] != 9)
{
bp_show_blog_signup_form();
}
else
{
?>
<div id="message" class="info">
<?php _e( 'Limit nine blogs per member. If you would like another, please contact an Admin for assistance.', 'buddypress' ); ?>
</div>
<?php
}
?>
<?php else: ?>
<div id="message" class="info">
<?php _e( 'Blog registration is currently disabled', 'buddypress' ); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
Just remember not to overwrite the member theme if you do a BuddyPress update.
Hahah! If by sexy sexy you mean dedicated BuddyPress supporter, then I’m forced to agree. 
Thanks for greening this.
Whooops! (Edited original post to avoid confusion also.)
<li><a href="<?php echo $bp->root_domain; ?>/forums/" title="<?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' );?>"><?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' );?></a></li>
Phil,
you’re going to want to do something a little more codey… 
<li><a href="<?php echo $bp->root_domain; ?>/forums/" title="<?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' );?>"><?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' );?></a></li>
I haven’t tested it, but I’m pretty confident. 
You could go a step further and put this into a hook function, but lets try this for now and see if does what you want.
Hi all,
I need a quick fix because I think i’ve done something wrong. I added this line to the header.php to create a new nav item:
<li><a href="forums" title="<?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
This works well except when I go to the blog and click on a post and then try to navigate to the forums.
to test this go here:
http://gigbuddy.org/blog/2009/03/04/testing/
then try clicking the ‘forums’ tab on the main nav. You’ll see what I mean.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Phil
Sounds like you have tried to edit the POT file in a text editor by doing something like a find and replace.
Or – you haven’t filled in all the headers correctly
Download the latest POT here : https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/bp-languages/buddypress.pot
Before opening in POEDIT, open it in your fav text editor, lines 8 to 16 (assuming word wrap isn’t on) need to be filled in with your own values. Save and close
Open with POEDIT and make your changes in there and save.
Sounds like there is a lot yet to come from BP
I do think that the BP core should be as solid as possible and then increase features by the use of plugins.
It is sometimes a bit annoying to find really great software thats full of bloat and things that aren’t needed. So provided the core is solid features can be extended with plugins.
That imo creates great software.
Hi all,
I am using Poedit to translate the BuddyPress file. When I save the file, I always get this error message
11:23:10:
wampwww8phetwp-contentmu-pluginsbp-languagesbuddypress-vi.po:844: a format specification for argument 1 doesn’t exist in ‘msgstr’

11:23:10: msgfmt: found 2 fatal errors
Some lines work, and some don’t. Can someone help to correct this error?
Thanks
Nice ! I can’t wait to see next release.
Also; you should
-add “online” with “Newest | Active | Popular” in the members widget…
@nicola: Thanks a bunch for looking at the code!!! And anyways for your work at bp-dev.org!!!

below is the code, it doesn’t work. th error message is:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ../mu-plugins/ng-who_is_online_2_friends_ver0001.php on line 17
i am getting the feeling the project is way over my head. because i have really no experience in coding my self or on my own. until now i only worked with the given code of word- and buddypress, without diving deeply into php-programing.
therefor i am not even sure if it’s the right way to begin. my thought process was that the friends widget i have is identifying friends by their id’s. so the thing to do is comparing these id’s to those of the users online.
maybe that thought apart is over simplified. otherwise it could just as well be the case that my understanding for php isn’t enough.
possibly the best idea would be to buy a book about php.
learn more about it and then begin to build widgets. otherwise it might be not that complicated, if you have the skills.
<?php
function bp_friend_o_avatar_thumb_mini( $template = false ) {
global $bp, $current_blog;
$options = get_blog_option( $current_blog->blog_id, 'bp_friend_o_avatar_thumb_mini' );
$friend_ids = BP_Friends_Friendship::get_random_friends( $bp->displayed_user->id );
$users = BP_Core_User::get_online_users($options['max_members']);
?>
<?php if ( $friend_ids ) { ?>

has anyone got any experience with intergrating buddypress with wpwishlist plugin or any other members software. I basically want to make a social aspect within the membership area as well as the content provided. Anyone know?
Hi all,
Im using buddypress in my site, the problem i face is with the time in the “Site Wide Activity” widget. It shows “11 hours and 30 mins ago” (which is the time difference between my location and my server location) instead of “0 mins ago”.
I have updated the time zone using php.ini file to my location timings.
I haven’t checked up in the “members” widget yet.
Please help me with some suggestions.
Regards,
Nizam
Trent, users connecting with fb connect should never have to disclose/change their password to BuddyPress. That’s one of advantages to the user of joining through fb. The user should be able to enjoy the benefits of multiple services with a single profile of protected data.
Hey Nicola, could you (or anyone else) give me further details on how to create a function that allows categories for groups in BuddyPress?
I would like to force users to choose a category for their groups, and then list the categories on the home page. Clicking the categories should show a list of the groups in that category… something like that. Any ideas?
Thanks a bunch.
There is a BP Auths project in the works for after the 1.0 release. The scope of it is to do exactly what you speak of and more. 
Some of those are good ideas that have already been added to the trac as enhancements. Others are already plugins by other authors, or could be potential plugins for later on.
I would say check out the BuddyPress roadmap, and search through some existing enhancement tickets and get a feel for what’s out there and what’s coming. If you think your ideas deserve to be an integrated part of BuddyPress, then add a ticket to the trac and the devs will take it into consideration for the future.
