BuddyPress.org

I wonder how far Andy got with that version, if the files still exist, and it\’s an easy resurrect?

Well, it\’s probably not THAT easy to do…. but it is fun to suggest more work to people.

It’s that exact .jpg above as to why I even got interested in buddypress in the first place. It looked very similar to another program I use, only cleaner.

Needless to say I was more than a little dismayed to find out it is not included in buddypress. I sure wish I knew what happened to that file as I would have loved to use it for my ‘basic’ members. I could then provide ‘real’ themes for premium members.

Another nice aspect to that layout is it’s hard to mess up or not understand for a newbie wordpress user.

Add me to the list of those that really wish it would be released, especially since that theme is now depreciated compared to the new theme on this site.

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,

Dainis

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

bp_core_get_userlink()

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.)
