In reply to: P2 Theme As The Wire/Wall?
John James Jacoby
Keymaster@Erich73, it means that my goal is that for the BP1.1 release, I’ll have a P2 style theme available using the new BP parent/child theme relationship ready.

John James Jacoby
Keymaster@Erich73, You would be best to make two themes for yourself; one as a child of the BP framework, and the other as a child of your first theme.
The first theme would include all of your custom CSS, images, etc… The second theme would bypass the home.php file and include any extra CSS or images that you might need. It’s simple once you see how it all plays together.
@alcina22, child theme files will always override any parent theme files. With that being said, if you need a home.php with 4 columns, then you make a home.php file in your child theme folder, and you add the extra code in your child theme’s function.php file to accommodate for the extra sidebar areas.
@Michael, BP1.1 should be backwards compatible, but once you’ve moved forward it is difficult to go back. The idea with 1.1 is that it’s something you’re going to want to commit to using, as there is so much deprecated code and renamed functions/extra functions, that your old themes will still work but are obsoleted by the new architecture.
If you have a HIGHLY customized theme, then it will make more sense to use your existing theme as your own framework, and make other themes work as a child of it instead. Basically you’ll want to compare and contrast the way that all the new 1.1 themes work, the functions they use, and the files it needs, and merge those files with your own. Using the BP framework isn’t REQUIRED, but it’s a great starting off point for most people. For the rest of us that have gotten used to making our own themes, we’re stuck making our own theme again for 1.1 if we want things done our way. It’s easier this time around though, I promise.

ParticipantI found the P2 Theme works really well with BuddyPress, it took a lot of editing to fix up the member pages, but all in all , it was pretty easy project.
I am using P2 across my entire site here at http://talksounders.com

Participant@Erich73, Actually members do have their own blogs, I just created another blog at “wall.mysite.com”. I used the bp-community-blogs plugin, so that members of my bp site automatically became authors of “wall.mysite.com” blog. This blog uses P2 theme, so it does actually look like wall or wire whatever you want to name it. They can write infinite number of threads.
If you wish you can disable blog creation feature for your members from the admin backend, it does not matter.
@mikhailjon, to emove the blog authors link from the admin bar, go to:
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php
Open bp-core-adminbar.php file and delete these lines:
// **** "Blog Authors" Menu (visible when not logged in) ********
function bp_adminbar_authors_menu() {
global $current_blog;
if ( $current_blog->blog_id > 1 ) {
$authors = get_users_of_blog();
if ( is_array( $authors ) ) {
/* This is a blog, render a menu with links to all authors */
echo '<li id="bp-adminbar-authors-menu"><a href="/">';
_e('Blog Authors', 'buddypress');
echo '</a>';
echo '<ul class="author-list">';
foreach( $authors as $author ) {
$author = new BP_Core_User( $author->user_id );
echo '<li>';
echo '<a href="' . $author->user_url . '">';
echo $author->avatar_mini;
echo ' ' . $author->fullname;
echo '<span class="activity">' . $author->last_active . '</span>';
echo '</a>';
echo '<div class="admin-bar-clear"></div>';
echo '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
echo '</li>';
}
}
}And this line:
add_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_authors_menu', 12 );August 28, 2009 at 4:03 pm #51696In reply to: Details About the New Theme Architecture

ParticipantYour questions are best asked by starting a new thread. I suggest you do so in the “How-To and Troubleshooting” forum.
With step four in your list, were you reinstalling your custom theme or the default bphome and bpmember themes? Did you reselect the proper theme in WPMU’s backend? Also, have you checked your server’s log files to see if there is useful information in pinpointing the issue?
I also suggest that you start a new thread as this thread is for general announcements and general questions about the new theme architecture.

ParticipantI am having problems in using the OLD themes. As far as I got it, it still should work… Could it be that after activating one time the new theme-structure that there is no turning back?
Thats what I’ve done:
1. Installed the new themes
2. Deleted the bp-themes directory
3. Played around
4. Tried to go back, installed the old themes again (member in bp-themes which I created again)
5. White screen of death
Any ideas?
By the way: Still trying to figure out how to adapt my highly adapted theme… I will need in my child theme a couple of template files (php)… it seems not as easy as I thought. Any recommendations how to do it (change the framework or only change the child? If only the child – how to get around some heavy stuff in the framework?
THANKS!!!!

ParticipantQuick update:
After activating the theme on the first blog, it still shows the same error msg.
my structure looks like this:
/wordpress-mu/firstblog/
/wordpress-mu/secondblog/
…
/wordpress-mu/community -> where bp should run

ParticipantI am using the standard theme for this one, I only added a few widgets. I wanted to do some small design changes later, but that should not have an big effect. My other idea was to activate the theme on the first blog and see if it works…

Participanthi to all the buddypress friends…

I have a question…
if I would make a 4 columns layout for buddypress, with this new architecture, I do make my change in the parent theme or in the child?
I think I will need a “sidebar2.php” and 3 in the parent theme? Is it correct?
sorry for the question, I don’t know if it is exactly on topic, but I found this news when I was on the point to start “my” bptheme…
so, I hope in your help!
Thank you! maybe also a link to start with a new bp layout?
I’m a little lost…
thank you again!
ciao

alcina
P.S. sorry also for my… “english”!!!

Participantyour website is GREAT !!!!
so if I do understand correctly, you have removed the possibility for users to write their own blog ? And you have instead implemented the P2-comments instead of user-blogs ?
So the users are not able to write their own blogs anymore, but instead writing their own threads (I guess they can write more than 1 thread ?) ?
This is exactly what I am looking for, as my users are people at the age of 50 years and they are not willing to write their own blogs…..

Participant@John James,
when you say:
“I’m in the process of porting the P2 theme into the new BP 1.1 framework”
what does that mean ? Will there be a P2-theme for BuddyPress ? Could you please explain ?
Many thanks,
Erich

KeymasterAdd your register_sidebar() functions code from your existing WordPress theme’s functions.php file to your BP Member theme’s functions.php file.
Then your WordPress sidebar should show up.

ParticipantI am using it here at: http://duvar.fenerbook.com
I had to get rid of the “blog authors” link from the adminbar, because of too many authors and also page loading was slow.
I have the wordpress video plugin (enabled site wide) which works well with p2 theme and member blogs as well!
http://www.daburna.de/blog/2006/12/13/wordpress-video-plugin
Hope it helps.

KeymasterIf anything, the wire would potentially get replaced by a user forum. Otherwise P2 is a blog theme, which would mean replacing the wire with another blog.
I’m in the process of porting the P2 theme into the new BP 1.1 framework, so might be about as close as you’ll get for now.

Participantis there a chance that BuddyPress integrated P2-theme for the wire and forum as a standard ? I think that would be a great thing and would provide a very quick solution in order to have the posts in a threaded version – which would make BuddyPress superb !
Any thoughts from Andy about this ?
August 27, 2009 at 9:29 pm #51654In reply to: New Page Selected
Paul Wong-Gibbs
KeymasterThis is not a BP question, but a WP theme question! A quick Google of that function took me to https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages.
Five minutes reading revealed:
All list items (li) generated by wp_list_pages() are marked with the class page_item. When wp_list_pages() is called while displaying a Page, the list item for that Page is given the additional class current_page_item.
So, apply a style to .current_page_item.

ParticipantIf you’re using the default theme and don’t want to mess with the theme files… you could also just do it via CSS in custom.css or site-wide.css… this should do it:
#search-login-bar {display:none;}

ParticipantPaul,
The URL where I’m testing the BP is http:// mysupport.byethost13.com it is shared hosting where each subdomain that belongs to my account looks like root. All root files must be uploaded into \htdocs folder that pretends to be root.
Once installed, only the core Blog is fully available. Users (user1, user2) have created their blog(s). Posts are accessible by Site Wide Activity/Wires but no permalinks expect the main blog are accessible. Thus no user nor admin personal blogs (comments) aren’t accessible.
My hosting program allows the .htaccess. The links to the missing elements seems to be OK. It properly generates addresses like http://mysupport.byethost13.com/personal/2009/08/27/hello-world-2/ but it is empty.
The /wp-content/blogs.dir contains strange sub-folder structure
/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/2(4) where two and four is a Id of users that have
uploaded their avatar. Gods know what does it mean the 1 in the root.
For testing purposes I have created your account (Id 4) JDPaul/password. I just wanted to test the BP abbility to access/write the folder. Avatar was uploaded.
My conclusion:
1) BP is talsk to MySql
2) tld/blog works as expected
3) All site.tld/users links + site.tld/groups seems to be fine
4) At least part of the BP code can write the blogs.dir folder
5) For some reason site others blog permalinks site.tld/user1, site.tld/user2, site.tld/personal do not work.
Please feel free to log-in and play. I believe we both need a computer aided check list

1. Which version of WPMU are you running?
WordPress MU 2.8.4.
2. Did you install WPMU as a directory or subdomain install?
directory
3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?
root as much it can be on shared host
4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU? If so, from which version?
no
5. Was WPMU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress?
there was no trafic
6. Which version of BuddyPress (BP) are you running?
BP 1.0.3
7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?
no
8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated?
no
9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?

10. Have you modified the core files in any way?
no
11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php?
