BuddyPress.org

I haven\\\’t tried that plugin Kenneth. I do know that others have had success with the solution outlined in the forum topic above. It\\\’s just not the most elegant solution because bp doesn\\\’t have any hooks for blog creation right now. Gotta hack the theme.

I thought I put in a ticket for a blog creation hook. Guess I didn\’t. I turned the red light on in this topic because I don’t have time to hunt down the best spot for a hook at the moment. I’ll lose track of this thread if it doesn’t stand out. Or somebody else could do it! (hint)

@Takuya, try liaise with Willnorris about adapting it for BP? maybe there’s an OPENID side-bar widget which could used on the BP home theme!

if you are using your own theme, you are out of luck!

There are many, many many. post on this topic.

When you use your own theme, you will need to copy the register.php to your theme directory.

If you do so.. you we always get.. the login page.

If you are not copy the register.php to your theme directory, it will default to wp-signup.php.

it works fine, however, because it does not use buddypress-language file your site will have mix of English and your mother tounge language.

The best work around I come up with is… do not copy the register.php.

Translate the WPMU language into your language.

I believe, this is logged for bug fix.

This plugin works with wpmu 2.7 in following steps.

1. user manually registers.

2. activate account

3. go to profile, add openid

4. users can now login with their openid account(s)

OpenID login form is displayed on wp-login.php, but not on buddypress themed wp-signup, as it’s customized for buddypress.

This thread is not updated since 2 months ago, anyone else with tips or updates?

The bbpress forum install isn’t part of the admin menu. You can put it there by modifying the menu though. I’m guessing that the second question means that you’d like your bbpress theme to look like your bp theme. Yes, you can. You have to create a new bbpress theme for yourself.

You can find or create any theme you want for bp and bbpress. There isn’t a bbpress theme that looks like the default bp theme yet. As far as I know.

I would copy the entire bp_get_nav function except the final part where it adds the logout link, and make your own function called bp_get_nav_no_logout, and put that function in your bp-custom.php file.

This way you can modify the member theme instead of the core files.

Take this a step further and make your own member theme, that way you’re not modifying the stock member theme either.

If you feel like this is something you’d like to have more control over in the future, add it to the trac as a feature enhancement. I could see being able to hook into those functions or modify their behavior as having its benefits.

I typically use it as a blog for the purpose of the website itself. A place to talk about the whole community. Then I make my own blog that I use to blog about myself inside the website, sort of as a guide for other users to follow.

I also tend to create a different custom theme for the main blog that other users cannot use. It helps to visually separate itself as something maybe a bit more important and website specific than the others.

No side effects that I know of, though our setup is still \”young\” (only been live for just over a month) so I don\’t know the long-term implications yet.

One thing I will mention, though — if you site has been live for a while you\’ll have to do some SQL cleanup in the database to rename things that have been cached (like user activity). For example:

UPDATE wp_bp_activity_sitewide SET content = replace(content,\' wire:\',\' wall:\');

What do you have to do different now that you didn\’t before you had the faux translation?

Actually, the biggest difference is a positive one: instead of hand-changing all the instances of \”Wire\” in the plugin and theme files we keep that in the language file instead. Since the language file (and the bp-custom file) aren\’t in the BuddyPress SVN repo they will never get overwritten when we upgrade.

I don’t know what rev of bp you were using before but things have changed in that rev. The member theme are now located in /wp-content/bp-themes. See the readme in the bp-themes dir in that zip. Make sure you update the themes also.

works great!

Hey Moonviper,

In just a brief look at your site, it looks like you are missing some of the CSS rules that help clear floats and such, including div.clear {clear: both;} from the “base.css” file in your home theme.

I’d recommend not removing that base.css file since it resets elements across the board to help with browser inconsistencies.

Hi Jane_135,

You can add the messages, activity, and wire areas as Widgets to any page you want. Look at the file called “home.php” in your home theme to see an example of how BuddyPress does this by default on the home page.

If you don’t have a home theme, read up on the installation process at https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-individual-components/ — look for the “Installing the default home theme” and follow the directions there.

Also, the explanation of how the themes work (and how the Widgets within the home page file work) see https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/using-the-buddypress-themes/.

Michael,

Getting a custom slug into the page title involves adding something like this into the theme header template:

<?php wp_title('&raquo;', true, 'right'); ?>

You can see my notes / comments in https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/126 for a better example — that was in the home theme, though.

The reason I suggested the translation route is that modifying the theme causes people to hesitate when upgrading. They don’t want to lose any custom they have. If I’m operating off a working copy of the svn trunk I can take my chances on an svn merge going ok. That it will skip my custom. However if my upgrade process is to replace the old code with the new code, just upload to the server, then I’m less likely to upgrade bp.

If it’s possible to achieve a solution without touching *any* code, I’m all for it.

BuddyPress trunk, make sure you update again.

Put them anywhere in wp-config.php above the “stop editing” part.

No, just the template files in the /themes/ or /bp-themes/ directories.

It should take no time at all to edit the template files and add those two lines. It’s only a suggestion though, if you want to translate that is fine too.

@jtbailey, I agree wp-classifieds might not have all the bells & whistles, but when I talked to the developer he was extremely responsive. I was thinking to get him more involved with bp if possible.

A photo gallery that pulled featured pics to the frontpage like some of the magazine themes do would be nice. Would that be possible?

If you’re using the trunk it’s much easier – take a look at the member theme and the file:

/directories/members/members-loop.php

That has the template loop you need to render recently active members.

Make sure you have done the following:

Changed your member theme folder to /bp-themes/ from /member-themes/

Copied the /directories/ directory from the default member theme to your currently active member theme.

It seems that the directories have been removed from the home theme and they are now part of the member theme. That’s all I know at the moment from looking at the svn logs.

Oh no, @Enrico, classifieds are THE core function of every local newspaper, which is essentially what Buddypress is, when you think about it.

But if you want to do a photo gallery, take a look at this guy’s Drupal module: http://drupal.org/project/picasa

I was impressed at how seamless it was. Personally I’m nervous about being responsible for people’s personal photos, especially when Flickr and Picasa do such a nice job of it for free. That module made me realize It’s better to have a good “glue” module than an excellent standalone “gallery”.

@Zenseeker, I tried wp-classifieds and Classipress and both left much to be desired. No worries, I have a nice jQuery/ajaxy theme I may be able to ransom off to get what I need.

You can use any theme you’d like as a home theme. Are you talking about using the new prologue P2? That looks very cool.
