I created a ticket for the duplicate post in widget issue – seems like it hadn’t been reported previously.
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/356
http://www.conexionesbcn.com is a Barcelona based small business startup – we will develop our business site using Buddypress

The site http://www.young-people.ch will be transfered to WPMU & Buddypress (see link above)
Hey, newbie here to the whole WordPress / BuddyPress world. I have an existing on-line portal/mag/social network at http://www.doorQ.com. We’re looking at moving the entire thing from its limited dotnet framework over to the open source BP. We know there will be a few issues with the data conversion, but I have some people comfortable enough with SQL to make that work.
What I was looking at is combining the social networking with the magazine features, to try to replicate what we have going now. I wanted to use a theme like this: “www.woothemes.com/demo/gazette/” as the main page for the site, have a few of the social networking aspects pop up on that page (like most recent or active members along with their icons) and then have a second page that aggregates all of the social network activity.
Make sense so far?
Here are my questions:
1) If I use the gazette or similar theme, make it the default theme for the BP install, and add the various components to the appropriate theme folders, I can then draw on the PHP script to add whatever buddy features I’d like to any of the pages created by that theme? Like having the currently on-line members appear on the page?
2) For what is now the BP home page — listing recent activity, users, etc — I can then hard code that as a page on the site, so that, from the main magazine page, there is a link that says something like “Social Network?”
I want everything to be interlinked, the way things are now, on my existing site. In theory, this should work, right?
Edit mu-plugins/bp-friends.php, mu-plugins/bp-friends/bp-friends-notifications.php, mu-plugins/bp-friends/bp-friends-templatetags.php,mu-plugins/bp-friends/bp-friends-widgets.php and the files in the member-themes/buddypress-member/friends…it may take a little while, but you have to look for places where it says “Friends” and change it to “Contacts”. There is also one more place you have to change my friends for the activity navigation, look in mu-plugins/bp-activity.php. I did it all manually. I am building a site for business usage as well. The great thing about buddypress is the files are easily customizable. I hope this helps.
as soon i’ll release it, i can’t understand your question, but it could be useful,

I’me getting this error when I try to upload any avatar:
“Upload Failed! Error was: The uploaded file could not be moved to the upload folder.”
Normal WordPress uploads are working fine.
Working on WPMU 2.7 “Bleeding Edge” and BuddyPress r832
Can you clarify…does this plug-in work with BuddyPress/WPMU? The installation instructions seem to be for WordPress in general, not MU. And I saw in another forum that this plug-in breaks WPMU.
Can you verify that it works with BuddyPress? If so, can you provide installation instructions?
Thanks.
For those of you who installed the group forums fix, you can delete the buddypress side of the equation. Andy made some changes in r860 of the bp trunk. We don’t need it anymore. The bbpress side still needs the oci_fix_xmlrpc_bbpress.php at the moment.
Thank you Andy.
…did anyone had success with running it with wpmu/buddypress?
http://openinviter.com/
Any plans to develop wpmu version? If not – any hints how I could fix it to work propetly with wpmu?
The formatting on the BuddyPress side is fixed in the latest trunk.
I’m not sure what you mean. It’s possible for users to choose traditional WordPress themes for their blogs, while using BuddyPress themes for the BuddyPress-related stuff. I struggled with this too, but if you read the instructions for the individual theme downloads, it makes more sense. The instructions for the package download don’t exactly make it clear.
So, I’ve got a BuddyPress home theme with its own name, a BuddyPress member theme (which is required), and then a traditional WP theme I’ve set to “default” (by changing its directory name to “default”), which is the default things for user blogs. And I will also have a selection of traditional themes that users can switch their blogs to.
Good luck!

Gotta be mikepratt and apeatling. Just guessing. lol. We were just discussing that on #buddypress irc.freenode.net
Join us.
Thanks Andy for the link. I do find it a bit confusing how the current themes are working.
If I understand it correctly, all the “My Account” pages are defined in the user theme, while they should be, in mine opinion at least, be in the home theme. The reason why I think this, is because it are all pages which aren’t linked to the users blog. Most people probably want to give these pages the same look and feel as the home page.
For the user themes, I would expect to only find things which are related to the users blog.
Personally I would like to give my members a selection of themes where they can choose from for their blog, so they can individualize it a bit. As far as I have been able to figure out, that isn’t possible yet.
When you would have the possibility for members to select a theme for their blog, it would only make more sense to have all those pages like the “My Account” pages in the home theme.
But that’s just my 2 cents. I would love to read your opinion about it.

I need a fairly basic widget for the front page that displays “Help Needed”. Users can posts needs and tie them to specific groups. I have looked at some of examples that buddypressdev has but that is more so for pages. Almost all of this functionality is in the widget.
Where is a good starting point?
Thanks in advance

Folks, I just opened a ticket to enable the image alignment options you get in the WP “add media” function.
Until this is incorporated, here’s the ticket with CSS adjustment.
http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/352
*update* – unfortunately, this screws things up in the single.php view. We’ll need someone with good CSS skills to figure this out.

I’m hoping BP will be released with themes that do work in all major browsers.

I get the same error when updating to 1.0/
Installed BuddyPress theme in “wp-content/themes/defaultâ€
How do I Update my home theme as suggested?
Hi All,
I’m seeing issues with the default BuddyPress theme in IE7 (Vista). IE is not honoring the padding or margin on the left, so the left column starts very close to the left edge of the page. In addition, the spaces between columns are not honored, so the columns run very close together. Everything looks fine is FireFox, Opera and Safari.
Is there anything I can do to clean up the layout in IE?
Thanks,
Mark
AFAK aka AFAIK usually means “as far as I know”. Forums are already in the 1.0 release, but none of the original posters other points. They area actually all being addressed by plugins with the exception of internal photo galleries which are coming after the 1.0 release. There is flickr plugin on buddypressdev.org though as well as Youtube. The invite system is there, but not finished yet.
Here is what I found. Any help would be appreciated.

@PerS you have experience with js? Andy is looking for some help in that area. Another pair of eyes : https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=847
Here is what I have loading:
‘<?php wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery-ui-core’); ?>
<?php wp_enqueue_script(‘ui.datepicker’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/library/custom/js/1.5.3/ui/ui.datepicker.js’, array(‘jquery’), 0.1); ?>
<?php wp_enqueue_script(‘council-contact-intake’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/library/custom/js/council-contact-intake.js’, array(‘jquery’), 0.1); ?>
<?php wp_enqueue_script(‘autotab’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/library/custom/js/autotab.js’, array(‘jquery’), 0.1); ?>’
Most of my jQuery is using the UI libs for showing/hiding stuff based on what the user is doing on the form. What’s the best way to do this to ensure that I don’t nuke BP? With BuddyPress installed, what’s the best practice for me handling my jQuery needs?
Thanks!
