you should adapt the default member theme in your one,
editing css and if needed the code

Perfect! I was also operating under the impression that the methods listed to change this were not easy or didn’t work. So problem solved. 
I’m developing a theme for bbpress that is more bp centric but it’s not going to look like the bp themes. There’s gonna be lots of new themes being developed for bbpress soon.
After diving a little deeper into the theme, I was able to figure it out, and it’s quite straight forward actually. Basically in RC1 you can just edit the nav directly in the theme header.php to have the text be whatever you’d like. Easy!
It sure is!
I just want to make sure that A) no-one else is doing it already and 
that it’ll be used.
It doesn’t exist yet people. What an opportunity!
I’ve been googling for this without any luck.
If I would take a stab at creating a BuddyPress theme for bbPress, would that be interesting or just a waste of time?
I’m not sure but I’m guessing he modified the BuddyPress member theme.
Right now I’m not sure how to handle the group deletion on the bbpress side. I can delete the forum if the group gets deleted ya. However, when I thought about it I decided to let the site admin/keymaster handle that now manually. The situation I thought of was a group admin gets bent out of shape, deletes the group and there goes a huge group asset if I just blindly kill the forum. So that action in bp is just being ignored now.
The only major problem I have now is that group join/leave in the group directories doesn’t work. Doesn’t even join/leave the group much less do what it’s supposed to in xmlrpc to talk to bbpress. It works in the member theme fine. Some sort of conflict in that context I have to track down.
Yeah I agree that there should be a MU pass-through for the Buddypress plugins to work on bbpress. I don’t see why they wouldnt since everything is fully integrated, but for some reason they are not. This also, makes me wonder how Nicola gets avatars to show up on the bbpress side. I am having some issues with that as well! Any ideas? I would love to see the forum theme that Nicola is using and make my modifications off of that!
you should edit the header.php of the default theme of bbpress, as i’ve done on buddypressdev.org/forums
I should also note a few things here for people to be aware of when upgrading:
– If you upgrade from a previous version and are using your own custom theme, you will need to copy over the functions.php from the latest buddypress-home theme.
– Nonce security has been added. This means input forms now have hidden “_wpnonce” fields that ensure that the user has intent when submitting information. You will need to add these fields to the forms if you are using a custom theme. You can see where to add them by looking here. Look for <?php wp_nonce_field( … ) ?>
– You may find some activity stream items around blog posts will take some time to re-cache and update properly. Give it a few days.
– If you get a white screen. Check your logs, this will tell you the error. More often than not, it’s because you haven’t updated the functions.php file in your theme.
– “News” in the home theme has changed to “Blog”. Update your permalinks if necessary.
ok, here is what I just did…
1) deleted all databases completely
2) created brand new database for the MU/BP install
3) Installed latest trunk of MU 2.7
4) Tested everything…no issues at all
5) Installed latest trunk of BP
6) Looked at the DB, the correct fields are there
7) Tested everything…no issues at all
–“Full Name” Field is there
–Registration goes perfectly
The above is using the WPMU Default theme!
Now, I have pulled that problem script out of the header of my custom theme and am going to upload it, activate it and see what happens without the script. Will report back.
—-UPDATE—-
Everythign worked fine. Next.
Ok, I added the php script back into the header….”Full Name” field gone again. So we have done the same procedure abotu 10 times and have concluded that that will not fix the issue. I think its time to start looking at this differently. I can say with 100% certainty that this all worked fine, perfectly, ALWAYS without exception on the Buddypress Beta 1. Back to square one!
In case anyone else had a similar problem — I needed to replace the code from the buddypress-home theme’s function.php file.
I’m working on an educational blogging/community/elearning service (a bit like edublogs) for the University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam.
Have a look @ http://teachr.nl/ There’s not much content online yet, still playing with themes, sql caching and apache tuning (eventually we envision about +10K blogs on the server.
Should be fully translatable in the latest.
MartinNr5: need help with the Swedish translation? I was about to start doing that next week, but I see no need to re-do finished work.
It is theme based, if you look in the functions.php of the latest home theme you will see the fix.
don’t use /blog for your directory, it will conflict.
These are the tickets left.
I will be posting an announcement on the blog today regarding the release and more information about the plans going forward.
you need to modify your theme in order to display one name for each user which is the BP full name, here is the function that do the job:
bp_core_get_userlink($post->post_author)
BR
SDQ
Sorry to continue in a seperate post but:
This could be argued that it is something a blog theme would have to implement. We have to remember that BP is a set of plugins and conceptually we wouldn’t want anything in WPMU to break if BP was removed (or trash left behind). Unless Andy could enlighten us, I’m not sure why BP couldn’t use the user identifer from WPMU. Any extra fields I think should have to be stored in BP tables, as-is atm.
We should put this suggestion into a trac ticket.
There is one PO file indeed for BuddyPress components. And I think the language pieces in the buddypress home theme should be separate so people can more easily change the language in of the theme without compromising the translations for BuddyPress itself.
Shouldn’t be there a language file for the home theme?
Ah nice to have also a swedish version soon
There is one PO as far as I know. I’m 92% done translating BP to Swedish for instance.
