Topic: Upgrading: PLEASE READ
When upgrading to a new version of BuddyPress please do the following:
* Log in as a site administrator
* Browse to: yourdomain.com/wp-admin/
This will upgrade the database tables to the latest version. Not ideal, but there will be a better more obvious way soon enough.
If you don’t upgrade your tables before you start using a new version, you are going to see lots of things break, and a lot of error messages.
Thanks
I tried setting up BuddyPress and WordPressMU on Bluehost, but found out they don’t support wildcards.
Who has had good successes creating Buddypress sites? What hosting, ISP do you recommend? Thx!
Topic: Events?
BuddyPress is perfect for local groups who have meetups. Is anyone thinking about adding events functionality?

I’ve starting to customise both the home and member themes supplied with buddypress, adding my customisations to a file called custom-styles.css that, as Andy pointed out on the mailing list a few weeks back, is imported automatically. Everything works fine but I have some suggestions as to how it could be better implemented.
Currently custom-styles.css is called by way of an @import at the beginning of style.css. This is problematic for a couple of reasons. By calling the customisations BEFORE the default styles you must add “!important” to all your selectors in custom-styles.css in order to effectivly over-ride the defaults which can be a real nightmare. Also, as pointed out in Ticket 164 the @import reference to custom-styles.css is included in styles.css but the file itself is not included in the theme so a 404 is generated and the error logs get hammered.
I have implemented what I beleive is a better, cleaner approach:
style.css contains just two @import calls to default-styles.css and custom-styles.css (in that order). By default the latter can be either commented out or an empty file included with the theme.
The current content of style.css becomes default-styles.css (minus the @import call to custom-styles.css of course).
Basically this means that when customising the theme you can choose to add custom styles by over-riding in custom-styles.css or, as I imagine a lot of developers will prefer, completely replace the default styles by commenting out the default-styles.css import line and design from the ground-up (using default-styles.css just for reference).
This simplified approach should also be easier to manage as new builds are rapidly being released and applied during the development of BuddyPress.
I’d be interested to here how others have approached managing customisation as the platform has developed.
Topic: Hope to see new features
I am currently using Buddypress for my humble website start up. As I spoke to friends for feedback, they would like to see things like:
a. able to highlight a member’s birthday is today..
-may be a sidebar calendar widget that the mouse over a date, it will show the member/s that are having their birthday today or
-may be the Avatar of that member will ‘glow’ or blink? hmm
b. able to select from a series of virtual ‘gifts’ to express like saying hi, can I know you etc… (hopefully we are not creating tonnes of images but hey, it is good to keep the tradition of giving even in the virtual world).
c. Voice clip for members to say hi, self intro etc. and who knows may be we can send a voice clip to another to say hi…hopefully the files won’t consume all the storage.
Sorry if this is a slightly off topic supporty kinda question but just wondering if anyone might have an idea as to why, on my local dev install of WPMU/Buddypress (WAMP on Vista), Avatars are being referenced with the url: http://domain.localhost/C:wampwww/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/1/dsc_0783-avatar1.jpg.
ie. putting in “C:wampwww/” before the wp-content directory.
Uploading and cropping the image for the avatar appears to work fine it just doesn’t show correctly in any other instance. I’ve looked through my config settings and just can’t figure out what I’m missing. (same install works fine when uploaded to my linux stageing server.)
Appreciate any incite anybody can give me on this
Topic: The News section
Hi,
Could someone tell me how to post content to the “News” section of a fresh BuddyPress installation ?
Do I have to create a Post, a Page… a “News” blog ?… I don’t find anything.
Thanks 4 your help
