BuddyPress.org

Finding two bugs (?) in the beta-version:

1. When updating the status in the sitewide-activity it shows double (2-times)

2. The widgets are not translated… Could that be a bug, because in earlier versions everything was fine (I am using a german localization)

Anybody else experiencing this?

The rest: JUST GREAT! Although I have to figure out what I will do now with my highly costumized theme…

I have deleted it and now it shows this error message

‘You do not have any BuddyPress themes installed.

Please move “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/” to “/wp-content/bp-themes/” and refresh this page. You can download more themes here.’

are u sure deleting is correct?

Make sure /wp-content/bp-themes/ is deleted.

Try: change permission on bp-theme folder to 755

thanks for the response. however I tried switching it to the normal member theme and still is same problem.

Am I missing some theme files there?

Never edit the parent theme unless you copy the files out of it and create your own. By editing the parent theme directly you’re risking it not working correctly in future versions.

Copy the header.php out of the parent theme folder, and into your current active theme folder. bp-default, or whatever else you might be using.

WordPress will automatically override the parent header.php because files in child themes have a higher priority over parent themes. You won’t need to do anything additional to tell it what to do.

crocgo, you’re using the skeleton member theme instead of the normal member theme that includes style. Switch your style and you’ll be fine.

*If* you’ve even enabled BuddyPess, you need to copy or merge the functions.php from the standard BuddyPress theme into your custom theme.

If you haven’t already, make a child theme. Copy in header.php and edit it.

If you want to manually add a link to your specific page, do that, otherwise look into adding this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages

You do not have the proper syntax for locate_template().

Look here: https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/1742/trunk

This is a little risky for a non-programmer, but here is some code that would replace the profile-loop.php file in the skeleton member theme. Note that this theme is deprecated in the new parent-child theme setup. It is also not a sophisticated privacy component like the one Jeff is working on. It simply omits everything except the base profile fieldset when a non-member views the profile.

This is from my own installation, but I have removed some pieces (mostly formatting) to simplify things a bit. I haven’t tested it in the simplified form.

It assumes that “Base” is the base profile group name you specified in the BP dashboard settings.

<?php

/*

* /profile/profile-loop.php

* This file loops through the profile field groups, and then each profile field to

* display the profile information that a user has entered.

*

* Loaded by: 'profile/index.php' (via the xprofile_get_profile() template tag)

*/

?>

<?php if ( bp_has_profile() ) : ?>



<?php while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>



<?php if ( (bp_get_the_profile_group_name() == "Base") || ( is_user_logged_in() ) ) : ?>

<div class="info-group">



<?php if ( bp_group_has_fields() ) : ?>



<h4><?php bp_the_profile_group_name() ?></h4>



<table class="profile-fields">

Jeff Sayre, great work, just remember not all our themes are that wide…

@zageek Are you modifying either parent in such a way that upgrades to the theme frameworks might not work? If you’ve found a way around this, please share.

@Andy thanks, I have begun hacking the parent theme since I might need to make changes to more than just CSS.

@realistdreamer I am wanting to do exactly that, I am looking at Theme Hybrid modified to work with Buddypress. Then that can be the parent theme, from which the children can be spawned.

Which version?

One way is to use the “is_user_logged_in()” function in the profile loop (normally, “profile-loop.php” in the member theme).

You need to use that in conjunction with (bp_get_the_profile_group_name() == “BASIC”), where BASIC is the base profile group name you specified in the BP dashboard settings, to test whether you’re on the BASIC profile.

OK, I almost understand. I want to use Theme Hybrid Framework and BP Framework to create a custom Parent or should that be, custom Child?

From @Detective, it sounds like I need to integrate the functionality of both frameworks and build the child(ren) off that functionality. Is that right or am I missing something?

Will that method allow the benefits of upgrades to both Frameworks?

I’ve been looking at TastyKitchen.com and VW Tankwars both on the WP.org showcase https://wordpress.org/showcase/flavor/buddypress/ for ideas for 1 blog implementations of WPMU and BP.

wah… forums aren’t working for me running the latest versions on everything — bp 1.1beta, wpmu 2.8.4a, bbpress 1.0.2. everything else is spot on though. wpmu/bp is in the root with directory install. fresh install for everything at michaelkuhlmann.com … no mods, just testing everything before i theme it. any takers? eh? eh?

This is not a BuddyPress issue, I’m afraid. Have a look at the WPMU forums. It sounds like a cookie issue, or you have a theme setup wrong.
