BuddyPress.org

Two conflicting versions of jquery will give you major headaches. I solved the problem by disabling my plugin’s reliance on it’s own jquery lib altogether. I just relied on bp’s jquery lib which was newer. I don’t know of any other way to solve the issue. Apps that rely on js do not play well together.

Buddypress? It will be out before you know it, but even grabbing the latest ZIP out of trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/ at the bottom of the screen will work as well.

The new community of the Management Information Systems department at Temple University’s Fox School of Business We’re still building our user base and getting everyone excited about the platform.

I just upgraded WPMU 2.7 R1627 to the final version of WPMU 2.7 running the latest BuddyPress trunk without any issues.

Hey, Im also new here, as seems to be the usual. lol

Im just getting my site up and out of the water. Im working on getting a front theme setup, and Its proving to be a bit of a bastard. Im having alignment troubles, and formatting issues with the widgets in firefox.

This forum, the BP trac, WPMU and bbPress forums are having “caching” issues it seems as things are slow to show up at times when people post. Strange…I reported it the powers that be…

In terms of answering, your answer was more detail anyways!

Trent

Sorry, Trent, I wasn’t trying to add to your answer, as your answer wasn’t there when I started my post. I think we were both answering at the same time…I wasn’t trying to step on your toes.

Your users’ blogs will get whatever template you have set as “default”, which is probably the BuddyPress Home Theme. So do this:

1) Rename the BuddyPress Home Theme something other than “default”.

2) In the dashboard for your main blog (admin), assign the BuddyPress theme to your blog. That’s what users will see when they visit your site, as your “blog” is the site.

3) Choose the theme you want your users to have as their default blog theme.

4) Name your chosen default blog theme “default”.

If you need additional info, let me know.

Just the member pages, groups, etc should get the buddypress theme. The actual blogs themselves will use whatever the “default” theme is setup for the WPMU installation that you have put buddypress on.

I would go with WPMU 2.7 and buddypress beta 2 (which should be out really soon). If buddypress beta 2 isn’t released, I would come back and ask which version is the most stable out of trunk for your release. WPMU 2.7 is “so much different” than 2.6.5, so it would be nice to get users on it right out of the box instead of changing right away. There are loads of improvements since BP beta 1, but you have to get a development snapshot that works

Long story short, I doubt beta 2 of buddypress will be that long since the tickets are dwindling down….

Trent

WPMU 2.7 was released about 4 hours ago. The latest beta release of buddypress does work on WPMU 2.7, but there are loads of changes since then. The second beta should be making it out here pretty soon, or you can head to https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/browser/trunk and grab the latest development version by getting the zip at the bottom of that page.

I am sure dsader can fix it without much effort. I opted generally to go with the plugin I have referenced before called “Members Only” on my smallest install which is just for family. Reason I went with this plugin over dsaders was both the RSS feeds as well as the ability to have the blogs you want still being “public” in their settings, but still members only.

What that means is the main WPMU blog can be private and only accessible to logged in members. If blog 1 is public, it shows in the main sitewide feeds. If blog 2 is private to members only, I can still set it as “public access” in the privacy options, but the “members only” plugin will not allow viewing without logging in, but the blog posts will still show in the main WPMU blog widgets.

Not the best solution for larger sites, but I am assuming that when Andy has a chance to implement the privacy options into buddypress, this will be a moot issue at some point.

Just some additional thoughts.
