Cold war fiction website.
Almost finished, just ironing out the differences between firefox and ie.
Once done will have a go at installing mediawiki too.
Comments on the theme would be great as not visually great at these things.
Thanks to Mike @ AvenueK9 as his template was the base for the site.
Try the default themes first, and see if that works.

Cool. Will get to work on it and submit a patch or patches when I have something working.
I agree, I would go ahead and see what you can do with it.
I found a great little mu plugin to control blog defaults on creation. It allows you to control what theme is used and many other things. The only thing it does not do is add the widgets to the blogs on creation which is the main thing I really want to figure out.
Plugin Name: cets_blog_defaults
Hope it helps!

Possible that the themes are missing or deactivated somehow. Are you able to access the admin area? If so, can you make sure you have a member theme active and in the correct location? Same with your home theme?
Hi Mike,
actually, I do want to have something different:
Let´s say at the “bp_home”-theme. I would like to have 2 different images at the “left column”.
So a different image for “Site wide activity” and a different image for “Most recent Blog”.
I have those 2 widgets in my left column, but would like to have a different image for each of those two sections.
How can I achieve this ?
Many thanks,
Erich
Integrating P2 as a member theme is better cos it would seem like the New facebook Theme with a twitter feel if done using one column like the buddypress.org site!
Whew! Good thing I was not the second one… That would make me the first looser 
I completely agree with Donnacha.
To integrate these two products would make a lot more sense than the products existing separately. P2 has little public use at the present and BuddyPress doesn’t encourage participation outside of forums. The current generation of BuddyPress themes do not do the technology justice, either.
I firmly believe mingling the two extensions together will lead to a bigger and brighter future for the both.
The question is, now, how do we go about coding these two together? I’m willing to work on this, but I’d really like a volunteer to partner with me for when I get stumped.
@gwsa
where do you host your site? Just in case other bp users face the same nightmare when choosing the host…
I’ve never seen this problem, my install just works properly. Make sure you disable all other plugins but bp when solving this problem.
in your wp-content/themes, you should have these only.
1. bphome (should only be used for the main blog)
2. your custom theme
This should limit blog owners to use your custom theme ONLY.

I assume you are talking about existing customizations, not those going forward. While it would mean an extra step for existing customizations when folks upgrade, I think the consistency makes things simpler for everyone in the long run. It is basically a little pain now to eliminate ongoing pain down the road.
Kunal,
Add my code after the following line in home.php of BBP Home theme:
<div id="right-column">
It should get you started.
The only problem is custom CSS created by users for the default themes. Their customizations may rely on the #main div.
gwsa – because this is not a BuddyPress bug. It’s something to do with your setup, hence the reason no one else has had the problem.
Are you sure you don’t have any crazy re-write rules or symlinks for your themes folder?
Also tried upping to 1.0.2. No fix.
Burt,
With BP Deactivated:
Site Admin -> Themes, 7 Installed, 4 Active (all WP Themes)
Appearance -> Themes, 4 to choose from
As soon as I activate BP:
Site Admin -> Themes, 3 Installed, 0 active (all BP Themes)
Appearance -> Themes, ZERO to choose from

So, is this something that could now change for the sake of consistency? If so, I will be happy to take on the work of patching it.
It’s like this because originally the directories were injected into the currently active WP theme, which resulted in a duplicate #content div.
I did not do that after the update, but I moved the home and member themes to their proper places and the Who’s Online widget still isn’t working.

Jeff –
I figured that might be the case. Still, it seems to make sense that basic wrapper (#content) remain the same.

Did you move the new theme files that come with BuddyPress into their proper location? Look in the /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/ and make sure that there is not a /bp-themes/ directory.
I just tried the whole upgrade process again and have no issue with this widget.
Hi Jeff, I did not notice that this was marked as resolved. I still don’t know how to create a buddypress install with a cohesive theme for members. I’ve been checking every week or so to see if someone may have answered my questions about what it is I’d need to hard code. I’ll check to see which theme I modified and I’ll see if that makes a difference. I’m still looking to distill a procedure out of this that I can follow and share with others. Best, Dainis
Thank you very much for responding. I really appreciate it.
I am using Buddypress 1.01 width Wpmu 2.7.1 and managed to get the adminbar working great without even touching Buddypress core.
All i actually did was to make sure I had :
require_once('../wp-blog-header.php');
in my bb-config.php-file, and after that i just simply added r-a-y’s code to my bb-theme functions.php file. :
function recreate_bb_admin_bar() {
echo '<div id="wp-admin-bar"><ul class="main-nav">';
bp_adminbar_logo();
bp_adminbar_login_menu();
bp_adminbar_account_menu();
bp_adminbar_blogs_menu();
bp_adminbar_notifications_menu();
bp_adminbar_authors_menu();
bp_adminbar_random_menu();
echo '</div>';
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'recreate_bb_admin_bar', 8 );
add_action( 'admin_footer', 'recreate_bb_admin_bar' );
add_action( 'wp_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );
Works just perfect. I can’t really see any need for a plugin to do this, but I guess there’s always someone who don’t manage without them.
