p.s. re: my custom template tag above to show the start dates in the directory view… I just clued in and realized that I should be doing this in the functions.php file rather than hacking Erwin’s plugin. So here’s the function to add to the functions.php file of your theme.

function bp_the_site_event_date_start() {

echo bp_get_the_site_event_date_start();

}

function bp_get_the_site_event_date_start() {

global $site_events_template;



return apply_filters( 'bp_get_the_site_event_date_start', date( ('l M j - Y'), $site_events_template->event->date_start ) );

}

add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'bp_the_site_event_date_start');

Then in the event directory loop template in your theme, just call it like this

<?php p_get_the_site_event_date_start() ?>

Yes, Xevo’s correct. It’ll be in the footer.php file of whichever theme you are using.

for default theme, you can look here

bp-sn-parent/status/post-form.php

here you will see the line and the code for the form.If you are using different theme(other than bp-default ,checkout yourtheme/status/post-form.php

It should be there.

If you totally want to restyle the buddypress theme then you should indeed just copy the bp-sn-parent folder, give the copy a new name and start editing that. Though, it’s recommended that if you just want small changes, to build a child theme.

You can find a guide here on building child themes.

I customized the default theme to fit my own by activating the “custom.css” file, which I read instructions on how to do somewhere here… and my theme looks *nothing* like the default theme now.

Of course, it’s quite a bit more complicated than that, but it’s a good starting point.

You didn’t kill anything

This happened to me on upgrade.

You’re most likely using a deprecated theme.

I’m not in front of my workstation right now, but go into your WP theme’s functions.php, find a line that says something like:

require_once(bp-core/bp-core-activation.php)

There’s probably two of these lines… if you see any require_once’s with something referencing BP, comment those out and check your BP community again.

Hope that helps!

The buddypress theme uses “wp_list_comments()” to get the comments, it’s a new template tag since wp 2.7.

Your able to change the output of this tag. See this article.

Most people are still trying to work out there own themes, let alone work on other themes already. I myself am planning on doing a few themes in the near future as well.

I have the same, or similar, issue.

I’m started with WPMU 2.8.4, FR version, then did the automatic upgrade. I installed Buddypress, the default theme and the parent. When a user tries to activate his account, the go to this sort of URL http://ux-paris.com/wp-activate.php?key=7c9a743c9ff98355 which throws the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_page_title() in /home1/thelayen/public_html/uxparis/wp-content/themes/bp-sn-parent/header.php on line 9.

FWIW, in the Buddypress admin panel, it shows that “My current theme is not BP compatible”…but my current them is BP Default?

Any ideas?

This error has been fixed in 1.2.4. The problem was with the introduction of setting a default groupblog theme in the backend. Now we set the default as wordpress would upon installation, so it doesn’t choke when you do not select an initial theme.

We never came across this error, since we already selected a groupblog theme, once you do that you’ll never be able to reproduce that error. If you do, please tell us step by step how to reproduce and what your ‘saved’ settings are in the groupblog wp-admin section.

I believe Andy is waiting for WordPress 2.9 to come out, since that version will have a lot of media related updates. Not sure when it’ll release, but will most likely be very soon.

In the meanwhile you could use kaltura or the buddypress picture album plugin.

Your request will not be responded too btw, the buddypress development theme wont start basing their core on other people’s plugins. If you want something like that, ask the wpmu dev team to create this once it’s build into buddypress.

I really like your customizations. Your theme is really good looking. Is it based on the new 1.1 theme framework?

He means the actual template tags from buddypress, like getting latest activity and members. But yes, you would also need to replace the wp_list_pages with the buddypress menu.

Totally transforming that theme to a buddypress theme is a little harder then that though, you would need to redo/restyle all the pages to work with that theme.

the “adminbar” is set inside buddypress/wpmu, you can use ANY WordPress theme and the adminbar will rise.

the theme you show here can be used for a user’s blog, but would require a rewrite if you want to use it as the front page theme… as it does not contain a single buddypress tagged function… but it could be used for it…
