Good design, I hope you’ll be able to finish bp-member themes.

Don’t worry you can set up the existing bb forum with the BP 1.1.

Maybe you’ll have some problems with the theme.

As Peter said, with the bp-sn-framework, is simpler, you need to add in the style.css at the top in the comment-header

/*

[….]

Template: bp-sn-framework

*/

deactive your current theme and reactive it again. (Remember it works only with 1.1-svn version).

You have to put css you want in your style.css and they will be applied on the default registration page.

Or you can copy from the bp-sn-framework the register.php to your theme dir, and edit html if needed

Styling the signup form is supposed to become a lot easier in the upcoming version 1.1.

To get my signup form somewhat in line with the rest of the site I had to hack core files. Details of my attempts here.

i have this issue on my newest DarkPress 2 theme: http://www.buddydress.com/2009/08/darkpress-2-now-compatible-with-firefox-3-5/

the cropping works fine with IE, but it sucks with Firefox.

there are several themes such as P2 and Prologue that offer front page posting.You can use TDO forms to have a form on the front page to post.I dont know if it works with mu..give it a try.

What i tried to point is that you can use the same technique in your themes, so as to avoid users to log into wordpress panel.

This can be done like this

if( user is blog owner) -> show the quickpress code (you can copy the quickpress code from the P2 or Prologue theme)

else

show the comments form

its the basic logic.I am working with my initial setup,i thought to implement this later when i am finished with my setup

It would be great if this works. I dont much see the value of the wire, but P2 makes a lot of sense!

Original posters:

a) Yes, but please discuss this on https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/modified-mail-message-registration.

b) Yes I believe so, but this is a WPMU question so you are best searching on the WPMU forums

c) Yes, it’s in the theme files. You can edit these at the moment and it might be easier to do in BP 1.1/trunk.

First, before doing anything, always read the readme.txt file that comes with the install package–this includes the WPMU and the BuddyPress packages. It has important information–especially about what you need to do with the theme files.

Since BuddyPress resides in its own directory, I would suggest deleting the old install. You should not have any issues if you do this. Why? Because any of the plugins, themes, or custom code that you may be using should exist outside of the BuddyPress directory. Before deleting the BP directory, you need to make sure that you deactivate it in WPMU’s backend.

Furthermore, just in case, it is always prudent to have recent backups of your custom themes and your plugins before deleting anything. You want to be absolutely sure that if you accidentally delete the wrong files or directories, that it will not be a big issue since you can simply copy them back. I also suggest that you have a recent copy of your wp-config.php file and even the .htaccess file (assuming that you have plugins installed that may have altered the default congifg).

Since this is a fresh install, I would also suggest starting over with a new DB. If you already have data that you wish to keep in the DB–because you’ve been running WPMU for awhile in a production environment–then your only option is to manually delete the BP tables in the DB before reinstalling BP.

Also, since you are having specific issues with the activity tables, you will need to follow my advice in this post to get the activity tables to reinstall.

As always, before doing anything that affects the DB, please back it up. This also includes backing up your DB before each and every upgrade.

This question is asked several times a month. It is a custom theme made by Andy. It will not be made available.

Yes you can If you know some coding you can use the P2 theme to add an options for posts in the themes.Hope it helped

Which version of WPMU did you install? Was it an upgrade from a previous version? If so, which version? Have you tried disabling all your plugins to see if the error goes away?

This error has to do with a WPMU function not functioning properly. More than likely it is not a BuddyPress error. You need to deactivate all plugins, including BP, and switch to a default WP theme (one that comes with WPMU) and see if the problem goes away.

If so, then it most likely has something to do with one of your plugins. The next step would then be to switch back to the theme you were using. Does the problem return? If not, reactivate BuddyPress. Does it return? If not, reactivate another plugin…

You keep reactivating one plugin at a time, each time checking to see if the error has returned. If it has, then there is probably an issue with that plugin. Make sure that you are using the most recent version of that plugin and the it is compatible with the version of WPMU you’re currently running. If it is, then contact the plugin developer and share the issue with them.

Delete this post. my bad.

The fact that, as you say, “everything works lovely” when you switch to the bp-default theme, indicates that BuddyPress is functioning properly. So, you have an issue with your custom theme.

Any WP theme will work as a BP home theme as long as some additional files are included. With v1.1 of BP, basically the version you downloaded from trunk, BP switches to a parent/child theme architecture. So, you need to make sure the custom theme you are using can function as a parent theme.

Look at the various files in the BP parent theme — bp-sn-framework. My guess is that your custom theme is missing many of those files.

Quick question, where can I find the contributor-blogs plugin?

Hi,

I have the same problem

1. Which version of WPMU are you running?

2.8.4a

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?

subdirectory

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?

Yes

6. Which version of BuddyPress (BP) are you running?

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?

Standard

10. Have you modified the core files in any way?

NO

11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php?

NO

12. If running bbPress, which version?

13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.

I don’t know how to get that.

Only the first page and admin area works… all others pages, like blogs, users, profile, etc shows:

Not Found

The requested URL /comunidade/blog was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

In your member-loop.php file you can add this

<?php echo bp_core_get_username( bp_get_the_site_member_user_id() ) ?>

to this line:

<div class="item-title"><a href="<?php bp_the_site_member_link() ?>"><?php bp_the_site_member_name() ?></a></div>

You do that right before the closing “a” tag. But, just remember that whenever you do a theme upgrade, you’ll lose your customizations. This, of course, is assuming that you are using the default member’s theme that comes with BP.

You will have to do your own styling to output the user’s login where you want it to be positioned.

Thank you both for the posts. I’ve had the EXACT same thought and my attempts did not quite work out. I’ll try your suggestion Mohit and will reply with my results.
