BuddyPress.org

This buddypress.org design is ONLY for buddypress.org.

Some buddypress themes before 1.1 releases had horizontal menus. Maybe you should search and get some sample codes. Also check out gallery section, in case if our member already has done it on their site(s).

The whole site is blank? Then try using the standard buddypress theme and see if its still blank. If it is, then try disabling buddypress and see what happens then, still blank, then its a wpmu problem, if not then its a buddypress problem and if the site works when using the default buddypress theme, then the theme your using doesnt work.

At least you’ll know where the problem lies with this.

Download theme – take folder out zip/rar file (if present) – upload to wp-content/themes/ – go to site admin > themes and activate the themes – now its installed, if you wanna use it, go to appearance and activate it there.

you can also check out my bp 1.1.2 theme. it’s a basic rework of andy’s and still needs a lot of tlc, but it might clue you in on how to style some elements and get you the look you want. i’ll probably wind up creating something entirely different down the road, but this might help in the mean while — http://code.google.com/p/avenuek9-bp-theme/downloads/list

Sorry I was searching and found this item to have to same issue I am facing.

my sign up page is not showing. I would like to find out from Andy if I would be able to route to register.php. does it mean the user would be sign up for wpmu too.

so how to configure for my page? thanks

I would recommend making your own parent/child theme and use the bp-sn-parent as your guide.

To truly get the mileage you want out of your BuddyPress powered website, you will want to customize it fully. The parent/child setup is designed to let the parent theme be the “core” theme, and let child themes change the core design. You could also just make your own child theme and use bp-sn-parent as the parent, and then use your own custom CSS to make it look however you’d like.

georgef101, do you still have the bp-themes folder located in wp-content? If so, BuddyPress will think you’re using the old theme style and look for the 1.0 avatars. If not, make sure your folder permissions are set (I put mine to 777 to make sure it works, but you may want to do 755 depending) and then run the code above. It should rename all of your avatars accordingly and put them where they belong. Once that’s done, you shouldn’t need to delete or change anything.

21CDB’s code works fine with my theme. I’d like my custom page to be in a sub-folder instead of in my root directory, though.

define('CS_INTUITION_SLUG', 'intuition');



function show_intuition_page()

{

bp_core_add_root_component(CS_INTUITION_SLUG);

}

add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'show_intuition_page', 2 );



function bp_show_intuition_page() {

global $bp, $current_blog;



if ( $bp->current_component == CS_INTUITION_SLUG && $bp->current_action == '' )

{

// The first variable here must match the name of your template file below

bp_core_load_template( 'intuition', true );

}

}

add_action( 'wp', 'bp_show_intuition_page', 2 );

When I remove the intuition.php file from my root directory, and make an intuition directory with an index.php in it, it doesn’t seem to work (I get 404’s). If I try and change what the value of the slug and the template are as well, I still get 404’s.

Ideas?

@cratercraver: The function.php is supposed to be in your currently used theme folder. If there is already one in there, just add the code to it and if there isn’t a functions.php yet, make one and put it in there.

I’d be interested in different sizes of avatars in buddypress, personally I don’t like or use gravatars, so don’t have a problem with that.

Besides, in the Netherlands nobody actually uses gravatar, since everyone uses Hyves (famous dutch social network) to blog and do other stuff.

At the moment only square avatars are allowed, and they are all cropped to two sizes. A while back I put together a patch that would allow non-standardized avatar sizes, but the problem then is what to do with the gravatars.

This *might* be something we revisit for the core later, but wouldn’t make a bad external plugin either. Hm.

In the moment, I do what Andy has offered above.

Members:

<?php echo bp_core_fetch_avatar(

'item_id=' . get_the_author_id() . '&type=full&width=100&height=100' ) ?>

Groups:

<?php echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( 'item_id=' . bp_get_the_site_group_id()

. '&object=group&type=full&width=100&height=100' ) ?>

Just I think this is the same as doing it in the css.

I like to know how to change the original size at the moment when its created.

But I don’t want to define these with custom values in wp-config.php.

I’m looking for a solution to have control of the Avatar size in custom components.

for example: In the bp-events Plugin, I would like to change the Avatar format to a Flyer format.

Most of the Event Flyer, people want to upload, do not feed the Avatar size from Buddypress.

So they just get a cuted piece of there flayer.

I relay would like to change this.

@Branjesh: Ah ok Learned something new then.. Thanks for clarifying

BuddyPress creates two images for avatars. 150×150 and 50×50. Any other sizes you see are scaled by CSS.

If you really know what you are doing, you can define these with custom values in wp-config.php to change the real sizes of the files that are created, but I am not sure of any side effect that may occur.

define( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH’, 50 );

define( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT’, 50 );

define( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’, 150 );

define( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’, 150 );

If you are going to do this make sure you test extensively on a sandbox install first!

@Bowe

Wordpress /buddypress does not do anything special to images.By default the avatars are saved as square(same height and width),so if you keep the ratio,the image looks good as it gets scaled down by css,otherwise say you make the height and width different ,It gets stretched.just for clarification

hehe.. you are most welcome

Yeh buddypress.org is using buddypress but the theme is a custom theme which is not available freely ,so you may have to wait until Andy decides to make this theme available for everyone.but I don’t think so,as He will like to keep the look of this site unique

Using this method, you can actually modify lots of other links! Very helpful. Thanks Brajesh!

*edit: Quite not working yet. Gives me

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/domain/public_html/wp-content/themes/bp-sn-parent/functions.php on line 81

Did I add this on a bad line or something?

hi,yes, you can.

Put this code in your current themes functions.php and it will make it work.

return $url;

}

Let me know it worked for you or not

hi there

well,so your subdomain style issue is solved.

For the random non existing subdomain behavior is expected by wpmu.since you are using buddypress default theme ,so you will not be able to see wp-signup.php and it is one of the most discussed topic here in forum.just search it.

If you are trying to create forums (as you may be thinking of standalone forum in bbpress),this is not implemented in that way in buddypress.In buddypress ,the bbpress (internal integration) is used for creating forums with groups and they do not have a separate admin.You can enable forum from group admin screen for a particular group.

As far as I know and my experiences with shared hosting,you won’t be able to install wordpress mu on addon domains.If you are able to install wpmu on addon domain ,then buddypress should work without any problem.
