BuddyPress.org

The home theme is just a WordPress theme, (with a couple of new template files if you want to use the directories).

Member themes are used for all pages that are not blog related.

Members are on a global basis, you can’t tie members to specific blogs at the moment. The only way to do this without modifying any code is to use separate MU installations.

You could achieve this with a plugin though, but it would require some work.

yes,

http://testbp.org/news

that is the standard theme applied to the initial blog.

Be warned, you may have problems with some features. It is not recommended to be used on normal wordpress.

I created pages for Members, Groups, and Blogs, and the error went away. I mean, create the Page, giving it the appropriate title ‘Members’, ‘Groups’, ‘Blogs’, don’t add any content, and click Publish. I am using another theme other than buddypress-home.

I know, a lot is possible with css and theme-tuning. But not f.eks.

– send news to the wire

– send news to blogs

There a lot off people out without a iphone, with classics mobile devices. I use f.eks. the iphone-apps for ebay and facebook. Its more comfortable and optimized.

I have already looked at this and think it is as simple as just creating a CSS for buddypress that works on mobile devices and using Alex King’s plugin. If you want the fancy stuff, then you create a theme for mobile device and use the iTouch plugin. I already created a bbPress mobile plugin by modifying Alex’s WP mobile plugin, so it shouldn’t be that hard to do for Buddypress.

You might want to check with nicolagreco over at http://buddypressdev.org/ He’s doing alot of theme work.

When viewing the member profile $bp_skip_blog_check is null. So the above does happen.

When viewing a directory $bp_skip_blog_check is true, $bp_no_status_set is null so it does status_header(200). The var $pages ($bp_path) is plugin-template.

Then it does load_template() which gets us back to the is_404() question because it extracts the $wp_query->query_vars which have no validity since we aren’t in Kansas.

Template runs and $wp_query->query_vars are showing what? That wp doesn’t know anything about this page.

var_dump($wp_query->query_vars) shows everything is empty except a few things like ‘pagename’ and ‘name’ for member theme profile in the header.

is_404() happily returns true.

status_header(200) doesn’t seem to be enough to convince wp that all is well. What would?

is_404() just does return $wp_query->is_404 which isn’t even set.

lemme try it in the browser…

Yep. I see the problem:

<a href="<?php global $bp; echo bp_core_get_userurl($bp['loggedin_userid']) ?>activity/my-friends">Your Friends Activity</a>

That works. Wasn’t working for me either. I’m not trying this in a bp theme. Because I hadn’t declared that I wanted to play with $bp it resolves to nothing.

Don’t know where you are using this but withing the scope of usage of that var you have to declare you want to use it.

BP is just beginning to roll. You might want to talk to danielfelice at:

If you are seeing “Call to undefined function bp_search_form_action()” then you are mixing trunk files up with beta 1 files.

You cannot use the beta 1 themes with the trunk plugins. If you’re going to update your BuddyPress installation with the trunk, you need to make sure the themes are the trunk versions too.

There are still last minute changes going into the themes until 1.0 final.

I dunno Mike. I have a test blog that runs the home theme. I created two rss widgets in a column and both seem to work fine. I’m using both of the rss urls you are using in those widgets. Only thing I can think of is that the 2nd widget has diff params that it’s trying to pull from the feed that the feed doesn’t support? What is it in that widget? ‘show content’, ‘show author’, ‘date’ something along those lines.

I configured the West Point feed to show 1 item and the Army Sports widget to show 5. Works over here in lovely Michigan.

I am experiencing the same error. I have WordPress MU 2.6.5 installed and the BuddyPress Combo package, downloaded on the 5th of January 2009. There are no custom themes, just the default Wordrpess MU and BuddyPress theme.

What can be the problem?

realfam, bp covers wpmu, bbpress and bp itself. We try to address all three environments simply because we *have to* to get bp running. That thread was a little off topic for the forums. Even though it did relate to wpmu sorta, kinda.

Then again I just get cranky at times.

Hey jvinch. I think that this sort of thing is a ‘left to the student’ type of exercise for people who are creating bp member themes. The theme’s we have now are the basic ones that come with the package. Kinda like mu’s kubrick default and home themes.

Although bp’s default themes are pretty nifty by themselves. The member theme is pretty unique. But ya, you’re right.

The options show fine on the latest 2.7 trunk. Are you sure you have all the themes plugins installed correctly?

I was thinking about this kind of thing as well. In more general terms. I’m creating a bp member theme skin. Right now just trying to integrate it with the rest of the site. As I’m doing this I’m going over the features that are in that theme. Since I’m fooling with them, I’m thinking about them.

What do I want to see in this theme. How would I change it. I was thinking more about how I operate on my site and other sites. What changes would I make that would make my life easier on the net.

The first thing I would implement is a ‘favorites’ or ‘watch’ component. Kinda like rss feed aggregation. I make comments on people’s blogs. I start topics on the forums and reply to topics. I don’t remember all the junk I do in one day. So being reminded of *my* activity is important.

Viewing my group’s activity is important. Some blog’s are important and I want to see posts from those select blogs. *Some* of my friend’s activity is important. Forum and blog posts for some of my friends.

I’d like to be able to see *all* that stuff above and selectively see a subset of that. That subset is what’s important to me at the moment. It’ll change day to day.

Favorites, watches. Things I want to monitor. I’d like to be able to just dynamically add and delete such things.

I want to do this in one place. One screen. A bp/mu Heads Up Display. For me. I want ‘My HUD’.

This site wide search issue is interesting. Everyone wants something different. I need to have content search like Mike. I also need to have all content site wide aggregated into categories and tags. Cross all blogs on the site. I’ve implemented this by installing donncha’s site wide tags plugin. Any post by any user on any blog goes to the ‘tags’ blog where they all live. This is my community blog.

I had to turn off the activity component in bp to get this though. Currently those two confilict.

Now searching the community blog searches all blog content except pages. It’s very nice because when you find a post that interests you on the community blog you get redirected to the source of the article. You wind up on the blog where the article actually lives.

Mike, I see your problem. The bp search is designed to find things in bp. Not content on a blog. Hmmm. The standard wp way of searching blog content is somehow integrating the searchform.php into your theme. Check out any theme that has a search box. It usually loads up searchform.php. When the user enters in a search term wp goes out and uses search.php template to display the results.

Check out the wpmu default theme. It makes a call to get_search_form() where it wants to display searchform.php.

Hopefully this will make sense

I have 4 directories, which I download the svn update to, and then copy them over to the live site:

/bbpresssvn

/buddypresssvn

/wordpresssvn

/privatedevsvn

By logging into the command line, I can do this

svn up

inside each of those 4 folders and it will update them to the newest trunk release. Then I run this command (or similar for buddypress)

cp -R * ../beta

and copy the files to the dev server. So far this has worked really well.

The private dev svn is where I upload my own plugins and themes I’m doing development on. This method is extremely fast as I never have to ftp any files between the internet, my laptop and back up to the web server. It does require command line access and knowledge of svn.

Hope this helps,

Brad

No, you wouldn’t have to do any of that running around. If that theme is only used on that blog and you have it turned off for all other blogs except the home blog on your site, then you just have to drop this into functions.php for that theme.

remove_action( 'wp_footer', 'bp_core_admin_bar' );

remove_action( 'wp_head', 'bp_core_add_css' );

In that theme the admin bar won’t show. Ever. If you use that theme on other blogs then you’ll have to wrap those two calls in some code to detect what blog it’s running on and only make those calls on blog id 1.

You could also create a plugin that runs in /mu-plugins, use those two calls above and just detect what blog it’s running on and make the calls only for blog id 1. That might be better.
