BuddyPress.org

Are you looking for something that shows login box on the sidebar? (which is completely not relevent to the topic title, but your post) If so, bp doesn’t offer that.

are all widgets you add to that column in the same format/style? or just the log in widget?

And I have the same problem. Anybody can help me?

Fix for my custom theme was to update the functions.php file in the buddypress home theme

@M Sweet! Works like a charm for me. The blog post also worked fine although I am seeing this code above the Twitter option in the blog post area:

if (get_usermeta($user_ID,'twitter-tweet-posts') != 'on') return; if ( !function_exists( 'bp_blogs_install' ) ) return;

Now if only we can get the posting option from the P2 theme post area as well! When can we try it out on our own?

I followed the steps above:

Deactivate the plugin

Removed the plugin

Removed theme from public_html/wp_content/themes and from public_html/wp_content

I did not remove the tables from the DB.

I can’t access mydomain.com, it’s just blank. I can however access the admin. Please help.

Also, if I wish to re-install BP at a later date will leaving the tables from your step 4 be an issue with a new install?

Thanks

The first image is simply a shot of my homepage (P2) while logged in. You can see the post-form is now activated and the BP nav bar engaged with “My Account”, etc. showing.

The second image is a modified version of the BP Member Theme.

@Scotm, Is it the member theme or what for the first flickr or what?

Okay, so you have three additional WPMU/BP installs working without issue. This means that you have no avatar uploading problems with those installs. Is that correct?

If so, then what is different between those three installs and the malfunctioning one?

1. Are all installs running the same versions of WPMU + BP?
2. Are there any plugins in your malfunctioning install that are not being used in the other three?
3. Is the theme different in your malfunctioning install but the same in the other three?
4. Are the .htaccess files in the working three the same but different in any way in the malfunctioning install?

You need to narrow down the variables and focus on the differences between the installs, in particular what is the same in the three working installs that differs with the malfunctioning install.

I would also suggest contacting your ISP about that Apache error.

A couple of questions:

1. Did you clear your browser cache?

2. You state that you “removed the super cache plugin”. Did you deactivate it first and then delete it from its plugin folder?

3. Are you using a custom theme?

So i need to do away with the 3 column layout…Can someone give an small example of how to use widgets like online members,wire etc explicitly without using it as widgets

You are really asking for specific help on creating a custom, 2-column home theme that is hardcoded for outputting specific data without using widgets.

If you do not have previous theming experience, this is not something that can be shown to you with a “small example” or in a simple way.

You need to learn about WordPress theming. BuddyPress themes, after all, are just another type of WordPress theme. Here are some links to help you get started:

1. Designing and Laying Out Your Theme
2. Instead of hardcoding the output, you may want to design your theme to use the exisiting widgets. You can control some of the widget output with your own custom CSS. Widgetizing Themes
3. Finally, to help you with CSS styling your custom theme, you should be using FireFox with the Firebug Add-on.

In English it is in the BuddyPress Plugin – xProfile.

Click on:

BuddyPress > Profile Field Setup

The instructions read:

“Your users will distinguish themselves through their profile page. You must give them profile fields that allow them to describe themselves in a way that is relevant to the theme of your social network.

NOTE: Any fields in the first group will appear on the signup page.”

And it works very well!

Everyone keeps saying “hard code the links,” but I don’t know what to hard code the links to?

Can someone fill in the blanks?

Cheers!

@Gpo1

I have a modified member page working with my P2 theme. See:

http://blogpei.com/members/admin/

@Scotm, Have you got P2 theme as a member theme ,it would look good or home page?

This is probably the 3rd post asking about buddypress.org theme. People should search carefully before posting.

There’re millions of css resources and samples on the net, and one can easily create or at least change a part of the theme to what they want. bp has custom.css and site-wide.css system which you can add/override css.

I like the default member theme and appreciate all of Andy’s hard work. I’m sure there are many more excellent updates to come!

My $.02

I have the same question. I’d like to add a bit to the standard template then have that template be the default template for people who create a blog. So, they will be able to make posts but not change the template.

I’ve one really important question – Can we use certain CSS code pieces of buddypress.org theme in our themes?

Erich73-

just wondering: is it possible to show only groups at the “home”-page ?

Yes. You can add or remove whatever widgets you want to the bphome theme page.

Log into WPMU and go to “Appearance > Widgets”. On the right side of the screen, select which theme column you want to place a given widget, then click the “Add” button for that widget. Click on “Edit” for each widget to set certain parameters.

You can also remove any widget from any column by clicking a given widget’s “Edit” button and then clicking the “Remove” button. Just make sure to click the “Save Changes” button whenever making widget changes.

is it possible having “group-wide-activity” showing for each group also at the start-page ?

As far as I know, there currently is not a group-wide-activity widget. You can either make your own, or if you do not have coding experience, create a new thread in the “Requests & Feedback” forum asking for such a widget. Perhaps someone will make one!
