BuddyPress.org

There’s currently no sub-blog theme, available to your users, that looks and functions like the default BuddyPress themes (bphome and bpmember).

But see https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/theme-authors-take-note-templates-and-loops-are-not-just-for-the-member-theme#post-13065

It would not be too difficult to make one on your own.

The Default Home Theme is meant so that it is used with just that, the HOME blog. You really shouldn’t be using it on any other blog because it will cause conflicts.

Well I dropped here looking for sample data only.

BuddyPress is really big and it will be great if we can have sample data.

I need lots of data during development of BuddyPress themes.

You can use the same admin account. BTW: I have mastered Deep Integration to the point of making the forum fit into ANY WordPress Theme! Take a look at http://wpmu.zyrot.com/forums/ for a demo. And no, I’m not using Iframes, it’s all themed!

thanks again r-a-y, It worked when I moved the bbcode-buttons toolbar plugin from “my-plugins folder” to “bb-plugins folder”!

I have bbcode-lite lying in “my-plugins folder” and bbcode-buttons doing the job in “bb-plugins folder” ))

Interesting that, i had the similar problem with lookslike buddypress theme, when I had it in my-templates folder it would not activate, but activated when I moved it to bb-templates!

This, I think, is a request for a theme developer to come and make you a theme. I’m going to close this thread as this forum is for support and discussion around BuddyPress, and not a place where people should submit job adverts (voluntary or not).

People can see what you’ve written here and can contact you directly if they are interested. I suggest that you also post on the BuddyPress job board group.

Interesting, I use looks-like-buddypress theme and tried several times activating BBcode lite and BBcode buttons and nothing appeared in the post area!

Then I read ck’s post in the forum saying that, these plugins are not compatible with 1.0.x version and that he will work on the plugins towards the end of the year… And gave up on it!

Did you hack it r-a-y?

I’ve been thinking of doing this.

Will investigate and report back.

[EDIT]

Here’s one way of doing what you want to do.

I’ve made it so that the main WP theme will not load the core BP CSS/JS files.

But on BP pages, it will load them.

Enter this only on your WP theme’s functions.php:

function remove_bp_cssjs() {

remove_action('wp', 'bp_core_add_js');

}

add_action('init', 'remove_bp_cssjs');

Caveats with this approach is you’ll need to load the bp_core_add_js() function again manually if you use any BP widget on any WP post or page.

A way to do this is to manually add the BP CSS styles to your main WP theme’s stylesheet, while using Justin Tadlock’s Javascript Logic plugin to load the BP javascripts on a conditional basis. I’ll let you figure that one out

I’m also looking at trimming more of the BP fat by removing the widget CSS files that are left over as well.

Stay tuned…

ok, I had one member with user name “Korhan”, I guess I did this by mistake in the forum profile edit area and could not somehow change it back to “korhan”. So I went inside the database and changed it manually. Posting works now.

I also changed all profile links in forums to buddypress /member/username way, so that there are no 2 places where users play with their profiles but just one and that should be buddypress profile pages.

I know this is going off topic, but here is what I did so that others can use it. I use the looks-like-buddypress theme for my forums:

I changed the logged-in.php file:

<div id="logout-link">

<?php bp_loggedinuser_avatar_thumbnail( 20, 20 ) ?> &nbsp;

<?php bp_loggedinuser_link() ?>

<?php bb_admin_link( 'before= / ' );?>

/ <?php bb_logout_link(); ?>

</div>

Also added the css

#logout-link {

float: right;

}



#logout-link img {

vertical-align: middle;

}

This way the looks are the same as bp

I also changed the sign-up page link to bp’s. I replaced the sign-up button in login-form.php with this:

<input type="button" name="signup-submit" id="signup-submit" value="<?php _e( 'Sign Up', 'buddypress' ) ?>" onclick="location.href='<?php echo bp_signup_page() ?>'" />

Make sure you have the themes in the proper locationI haven’t been following these forums too closely recently and I haven’t seen this error, but I went straight up 2.7.1 to 2.8.1 then 2.8.2. try this.. make sure you’re not refreshing a ?action=”*&^^” page.. just the plugins.php, delete out of the mu-plugins folder. refresh.. you should see NO Buddypress. drop it in the regular plugins folder.. refresh and then ‘activate site wide’.

delete the entire Buddypress directory, refresh you plugins panel… upload it again, get your BP 1.0.3 themes in place.. refresh plugins.. activate it. i too.. always forget to deactivate plugins for upgrades ;o

bbPress does not have any native ways to hide forums that should be hidden. You can do as I have done – installing a “blank” theme that redirects users to your main site, limiting users to use the built-in group forums functionality only – or you could install a bbPress plugin that hides forums from those that are not allowed to view them. There is such a plugin, intended specifically for buddypress users, but I can’t remember what it is called.

I use this theme http://testbp.org/register

Are you using a custom theme? Have you added any required fields via the “BuddyPress > Profile Fields Setup” in WPMU’s backend?

By default, WPMU with BuddyPress installed is setup to do exactly what you are asking–have one “Username” field and one “Name” field on the signup page.

Did you remember to move the updated themes across when you updated BP?

The second one.

Not sure if this will break any custom functionality that the Church theme uses (custom widgets and the like).

But it will make the BuddyBar show up correctly.

Check the Church theme’s footer.php.

Look for a call to wp_footer() amd make sure it is exactly before the </body>.

It worked fine for me. Did you copy/use simlinks on the themes?
