BuddyPress.org

Very nice, but certainly something BuddyPress is very capable of producing.

Some people are starting to realize this now, but most of the power of BuddyPress is in the theme. You can really highly customize your installation if you know WP/BP theme tags and structure.

You’d need to write some custom components to handle the color objects, but that would not be at all difficult.

Great site though, an excellent example of a community built around a solid niche.

Wow, you weren’t kidding, that is one fantastic social setup. Now I’m really curious what software base they are using. Everything is tied together so perfectly, even the theme is beautiful, and very fitting for the site.

Well, that doesn’t even look like bp code. I’m not sure that the issue is related to bp at all. Maybe if you gave more information somebody could help.

bp version?

wpmu version?

theme?

I solved this by creating a bbPress theme that simply made everything invisible (css “display: none;” on everything) and redirected the users to the start page of my community by means of a meta refresh redirect.

Since I am so extremely witty, I called it “Kakumei None”. You can download it here: http://dropbox.jobjorn.se/kakumei-none.zip

You can add the members, groups, site wide activity and a few other widgets from your dashboard. You might have to adjust your css to make it look good though.

r-a-y is possible have what you’ve in functions.php of your bbpress theme and what in “add_action” in header.php or footer.php?

thanks!

Perfect thread! Was looking for instructions to integrate the BP Core Admin Bar into bbPress.

I did something a little bit different.

Instead of hacking the core files, I used my bbPress theme’s functions.php file and added the functions listed in step #4 into a customized function I called “recreate_bb_admin_bar”.

Then I added this function as an “add_action” and it works!

*Make sure you have step #7 done as well.

Thanks guys!

I’m having a similar problem. On the activation screen I get a javascript error: “v1Cropper is undefined.” I haven’t changed the buddypress theme, but I have a custom wordpress theme installed and renamed its folder to “default” to force new blogs to use the customized theme. I saved the original default theme in a backup folder. Is it possible I need some file(s) from the original default wordpress theme? I’m using wordpress 2.7.1 and buddypress 1.0.

haha. Sorry. I love your ‘What are these?’ giant red arrows. Those are ‘tag’ icons. If the post has tags associated with it that appears.

/themes/bphome/images/tag_icon.gif

Look in the css directory in the home theme. base.css file:

.post span.tags {

background: url(../images/tag_icon.gif) center left no-repeat;

padding-left: 1.6em;

float: left;

}

lol. Thank you for providing the exact info, with fancy diagrams, that was needed to answer your question. If they are showing up without any tags actually associated with each post then I’d say it’s a bug in the IE css. Or a bug in IE that prevents it from operating like every other browser on the planet. I think we politely call them ‘quirks’.

yep ! now it works.

seems that i haven’t update the oci-content in the member themes before

Basic adaptation of the standard theme. Perhaps a custom theme design sometime in the future. Moved the site from Nucleus CMS. Still tweaking here and there.

Hi BP n00b here but not a wordpress n00b. I am trying to get this to work as well with bp_core_get_userlink() as well. When I submit the_author_id() as an argument I get the author ID returned as the output of the function instead of the proper profile link. If I submit the author id as a simple string (in this case 6) I get the proper link returned? What am I missing here?

so for the sake of clarity code that looks like this <?php echo bp_core_get_userlink(the_author_id()); ?> returns 6 and code that looks like this <?php echo bp_core_get_userlink(6); ?> returns the correct link to profile page.

I don’t get it. Any help would be much appreciated

i update the site;cleared all;

tried with facebuddy member theme;

tried with bpmember theme;

problem is still there.

On profile i see that:

activities is empty (i’m admin and testing everywhere…could not be empty at all)

groups (i am in 2) empty

friends ( empty

mystery gravatar instead of mine

hello Joe

As far as overwriting the template tags are concerned,That is not allowed.You can only overwrite pluggable functions(In case of wordpress/buddypress).

As far as I see, the bp_login_bar() is a normal function(template tag), you may have a look at the code in buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php,so you can not overwrite it.

Yes, if you want a customize the look of the form/output generated by it, you can use a work around.

Copy the code for bp_login_bar and put it inside a new function say bp_custom_login_bar() inside your theme’s functions.php,now you may modify the code inside the bp_custom_login_bar() to make it look as you want.

The only extra work you will have to do is, you will have to replace all the calls of bp_login_bar tag in your template by bp_custom_login_bar.

Hope it helps.

If I misinterpreted your question,please clarify.

A couple of questions:

1. What locahost environment (OS and server) are you running your install on?

2. Did you install the bpmember theme folder in /wp-content/bp-themes/?

3. Did you choose the BuddyPress default member theme, bpmember, in WPMU’s backed? You do this by logging into WPMU as site admin, then going to “BuddyPress > General Settings > Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages”.

4. Do you have a .htaccess file in the directory in which you’ve installed WPMU?

Hi gang,

Am brand new to MU and Buddypress and I have setup Buddypress on my local box

Saw this thread and it’s exactly what I want to do.

To test this out, I am using the default Kubrick Home theme, and have adjusted my home blog’s settings under “Site Admin > Blogs” to: “Path – /” and “Permalink Settings – “/%postname%/”.

When I attempt to click on the “hello-world” post under the home blog, I get a 404 error.

However, when I go to “/blog/hello-world/”, this works.

Any idea why?

Carpconnect-

DJPaul was correct about me needing more tea!

When I looked at the image link you provided, it sure seemed like you were using a custom theme, not the default BuddyPress theme. It still looks like that to me.

So, you are saying that you are using the bphome theme which is installed in /wp-content/themes/ and the bpmember theme, which is installed in /wp-content/bp-themes/? You also are saying that you did not touch the code or CSS within those two theme directories at all.

If this is the case, then try reuploading just these two theme files.

Of course, this could be a browser issue. What browser are you using?
