BuddyPress.org

That’s the first time I’ve seen that jpg of an early version of a blog theme. It’s really elegant and beautiful. I’m thinking one of the future features for the site should be to configure blogs that way in addition to the stand alone themes people are working on now.

you mean this?

<?php echo bp_get_loggedin_user_link($bp->loggedin_user->id) ?>

@Wildrot

and @apeatling of https://apeatling.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/blog.jpg

is there a downloadable way to do what you guys have done and make it the default for user blogs (no user set up required, just automatic)?

Can you guys make your user templates available to the BuddyPress community?

Best,

Or make bp-custom.php into your /plugins/buddypress/ folder, and put the following code in. This way saves you messing with the default themes and also having to re-do work if you change themes in future.

<?php

define('BP_BLOGS_SLUG', 'Diary');

?>

You see. What I want to do tho is keep my wordpress blog intact. With that theme that it has right now and what not. And to have, as another “website” yet integrated with my wordpress blog, my socialnetwork section. So with the buddypress thing, I can have my other kind of theme, yet if people use their accounts from buddypress to comment on my original wordpress blog, it will still be connected..they will still be able to see it on their activity.

Those are the member, groups and blog directories. They live in respectively:

RC1

/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-core/directories/bp-core-directory-members.php

/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-groups/directories/bp-groups-directory-groups.php

/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-blogs/directories/bp-blogs-directory-blogs.php

trunk

/wp-content/bp-themes/buddypress-member/directories

bp and wpmu use the same user table. A bp ‘account’ is a wp ‘account’. You can use any theme you like on your blog. All blog posts and their comments show up in activity from any blog that hasn’t been set to ‘private’.

Alright I tried to fix it but I couldnt….Anyway, the skeleton thing is not working, I try to go to it and it just doesnt show the complete template…Do i have to add both files? Or with one is it good enough? check out what I mean:

I had a question but I am working on it…if I cant fix it I will repost it..thanx….

Actually, I’ve had the exact same problem myself.

Are you using a custom theme by chance? I think it has something to do with having a parent container element be less than 100% width. But then again Andy has it working fine here, so I’m not really sure.

Hey Halfpint , I’m getting the same error as you when I try to activate the facebuddy theme..

I’ve looked in the locations you stated above but I only have the bp core signup.php only in bp-core directory , and not in mu-plugins or anywhere else that I can see.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jenny

Are you using the bp home theme?

The nice thing about themes, they are just html. Which is free to look at and examine. Chances are if you take a look at the source, and spend a few minutes in an image editor you will find this “theme” pretty easy to replicate.

What will be much harder to do is the quality job Andy has done integrating bbpress inside of buddypress. This blend on buddpress.org is seamless, and very difficult to achieve at this point without a lot of “deep intergration”.

But take a look at the source, and I think you will see it holds most the answers.

Andy’s mentioned that he will release some of his tricks eventually, but for now his main focus is readying BP for the 1.0 release.

You can piece a lot of this theme apart by staring at the CSS for a while. (It’s mostly just a lot of background images.)

If I was going to use WordPress and bbPress as past examples, no, and don’t bet that it will be anytime soon.

Someone may make a replica, but usually the *Press public themes aren’t available for public use.

The only potential draw back with that method Erwin, is that it adds the link at the end of the assembled navigation instead of giving you total control over it.

Something to think about, is that BuddyPress really does allow for per-theme blog setups.

The difference between:

http://delsolownersclub.com/

and

http://delsolownersclub.com/news/

and

http://delsolownersclub.com/mafdark/

Are all just smoke and mirrors with different themes.

You could really make any ‘blog’ of your website do whatever you want it to do, just like how the BuddyPress Codex is really just another blog.

Morpheus: “Do you think that’s air you’re breathing now?”

This is how I did it.

I modified header.php in the buddypress theme AND the member theme.

There is probably a better way since the forums location is included as part of the integration, however it works, and you can use this principle to include a hard coded link to anywhere.

Find the bit of code that starts <div id="header">

The first bit is the routine to run the blogs page, the second opens up bbPress in a seperate tab.

`<?php if ( function_exists( ‘bp_blogs_install’ ) ) { ?>

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_BLOGS_SLUG ) ) {?> class=”selected”<?php } ?>><a href=”<?php echo get_option(‘home’) ?>/<?php echo BP_BLOGS_SLUG ?>” title=”<?php _e( ‘Blogs’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>”><?php _e( ‘Blogs’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?></a></li>

<?php } ?>

<li><a href=”http://www.mypartyonparty.biz/forums&#8221; target=”_blank” title=”<?php _e( ‘Support’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>”><?php _e( ‘Support’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?></a></li>

<?php do_action( ‘bp_nav_items’ ); ?>`

What I’d like to do is present the forums in the same way that is done on here (BuddyPress.org, ) that just needs a bit of thinking about…

Hope that helps
