It’s okay to do anything you want with the theme files, just as you would do in WordPress.

You don’t need the loader.php stuff if you don’t want to, however, it does add some extra functionality, such as cross theme CSS and the ability to selectively load styles.

Hi bergsten

thanks for the plugin, essential for any network

I installed the 2.0b2 version on my BP, put the php code you gave above (add_action(‘bp_custom_profile_boxes’, ‘bp_google_maps_profile’, 6) in the index.php from the directory /wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/profile, exactly here :

‘<?php if ( function_exists(‘bp_send_message_button’) ) : ?>

<?php bp_send_message_button() ?>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<?php add_action(‘bp_custom_profile_boxes’, ‘bp_google_maps_profile’, 6); ?>

<?php bp_custom_profile_sidebar_boxes() ?>

</div>

<div class=”main-column”>’

It’s working but a little buggy : the map shows two time as you can see here :

http://vivre-en-autarcie.com/members/admin/profile/public

something else is bugging.

the button update your position leads to a page that doesn’t exist with slug: update-position

the integration function works fine : I can edit a map where all markers my users are shown ; that’s great

thanks for any help

fwiw: I’ve written a widget for ahp_recent_posts

To get the theme that you want all users to have, just make the theme you want the default WPMU theme. This can be done by naming the folder of your theme “default” or looking at a plugin like this plugin.

To get all the widgets that you want in there, It would be best to actually hardcode the widgets you want into the theme itself. If you look at the code of certain themes that do this already, it shows you how to do that. Then, finally if you don’t want users to be able to change around widgets, there is a plugin that limits what menu’s users can see, but don’t have the link off hand. You will have to search for that one.

That is what I would do anyways!

The buddypress home them you mean? Just treat it like any other theme and put in an RSS widget to display your feed. Since the member theme isn’t editable in the admin, it requires more, but the buddypress home theme doesn’t.

WordPress detects the currently enabled theme’s root and css directories via the bloginfo(‘template_directory’) and bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’) functions.

To call the css and images from the home theme in a member theme template you would have to hard code the path references as “/wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/styles.css”.

Personally, as hard coding is generally a bad idea, I would suggest simply copying the elements you wish to use from the home theme directory to the member theme directory and reference them the usual way.

MBP is a social community meant for those of us who wear artificial body parts, and those that love us. If you own a body part that’s made of acrylic, steel, plastic, or any other man-made material, you’ll probably want to have a look around. You can learn more about why MyBodyPart.org exists here. MBP is completely free. Why not sign up for a profile and start connecting with others who have had, or are having similar experiences?

(still needs branding and theme changes, oh, and also users, so why not sign up and help me create this community?

It is just a WPMU plugin that adds the code to every page, not theme specific so it works with BP as well.

What kind of problems are you running into?

It’s better to start a new topic for your kind of issue lorenzocoffee. I flipped the support red light on in this topic. We can do this here. When you start a new topic *you* have the ability to designate the topic as a support question and people will notice.

OK. You’re trying to upgrade from the beta version of bp to RC-1. After uploading and replacing all the files in /mu-plugins and then moving the new themes to the proper locations in /themes and /wp-content, things don’t work.

What does your apache error log say when you try to access your site. What is the url to your site?

That message “Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again” is a nonce failure message. Did you upgrade and not upgrade the bp themes? All bp code is now ‘nonce security’ aware. If your themes don’t send these ‘nonce’ values to bp everything comes to a screeching halt.

For example:

<p><input type="submit" value="<?php _e( 'Save Changes', 'buddypress' ) ?> &raquo;" id="save" name="save" /></p>



<?php wp_nonce_field( 'groups_edit_group_details' ) ?>

That’s taken from the edit group details form. wp_nonce_field() creates a little hidden field with an access key for ‘groups_edit_group_details’ that gets compared in to a similar ‘nonce’ value generated in the actual function that does the validation and saving of group details. If they don’t match, the security check fails with that cryptic message from wpmu.

The entire content for members pages is from the member theme itself. Without knowing what your specific question would be, the README for the member themes (creating your own) is a nice start to figuring out where the content comes from:

As long as you make a template function, then people can include it in their theme. I will add some hooks to the directories though.

Well, i began working on my own theme, but not in the best way. I´m modifing the css files (by example, base.css) of the buddypress-home theme, to change the appereance of the pages. I just wanted to know if there is a tool or something that help me with this stuff. Because the API functions will not help me with my new theme (i think)

When I activate the WordPress MU homepage theme it still happens.

The admin bar gets triggered on every ‘wp_footer’ action that your theme triggers. Which is on every page load. There is no function call from a php file that does it. bp is almost completely driven by wp ‘actions’. Everything gets loaded, defined and ready for the events that are defined to make things happen.

Everybody is posting around each other here.

The ‘wp_footer’ action is triggered by your theme’s usage of (normally) get_footer()

which calls wp_footer()

which does do_action(‘wp_footer’)

which triggers bp_core_admin_bar() in bp-core-adminbar.php

which gets you the admin bar.

*deep breath*, let it out slowly now…

Alain, try activating the ‘WordPress MU homepage’ theme. See if it happens.

Hi, I´m interested in making my own buddypress-home theme and buddypress-member theme, to fit my web site. I´ve been looking for information on the web, but I have not found anything good. Anyone has some kind of tutorial about it?

Alain

Hello everyone. Hi Burtadsit. I´ll try to explain using my poor English, I´m cuban. The error occurs in a Clean install, when you activate the home theme and try to visit the root blog, or the blog of any user previously created.

The page show the following error:

Warning: require_once(C:sitiossitiosocial/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-home/index.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:sitiossitiosocialwp-includestheme.php on line 822

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘C:sitiossitiosocial/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-home/index.php’ (include_path=’.;C:xamppphppear’) in C:sitiossitiosocialwp-includestheme.php on line 822

How you can see, the application doesn´t found a buddypress-home directory inside member-themes. So, we solve this making a copy of the buddypress-member and renaming it to buddypress-home.

Changing the topic (I know this is out of forum). I´d like to make my own buddypress-home theme, and buddypress-member theme. Do you have any documentation about it???

Alain

Well, it could really go in a few different places. Let me take a look when I get to work to see where will work the best.

Here on BuddyPress, the “admin bar” has been nick named the “buddy bar.” It actually replaces the typical “admin bar” from a normal WPMU install.

The files for it can be found in the bp-core directory if you needed to modify it for any reason.

The buddy bar is actually loaded very last in the DOM, and it is absolutely positioned to top 0, so its essentially hovering over the body contents. Because there are at least two active themes at any given moment (home and member) you could either throw the css into homethemedir/css/site-wide.css, or all of the base.css for each theme.

But let me double check for certain.
