thanks very much for your answers Sgrunt..
I tried it with default theme and same problem..sorry it s my bad..
I would like to do this too.
What I did is make the buddypress home theme available to memberblogs. The only “catch” is that the member blog appears without any widgets set.
I am curious, if there is a way to “preset” the widgets on a userblog theme to a standard layout.

If member blogs could look like that, then I can launch my community.
Best,

Has been updated to the ‘trunk 1281’ version of ‘FaceBuddy theme’ …
thanx Leventyilmaz.
1) I haven’t checked it yet, but FaceBuddy that was my first theme is only a graphical reskinning of Buddy Press (no hardcoding in no page), and so every issue with code i presume is an issue with BP. Maybe try with your default theme and tell me if it works. I remember that the updated version of FaceBuddy is based on the 1281 trunk.
2) i know..some people want them, and i hope to do something in the future for bbpress. Actually the simple remaking (and updating) of themes is a big work (making free themes isn’t a job, and so i can’t work from 9 to 5 to them), and i’ve never installed bbpress. My priority is creating new themes for BP, maybe when the official 1 version will be out i’ll start seeing bbpress but i can’t be sure for now.
I am as confused as Evilpepperman. First, I installed it in wp-content/mu-plugins. The result is that it works in the Admin area, I can enter API etc. But it doesn’t appear on the home theme. Second, I moved everything to wp-content/plugins but no nothing happens at all?? Please help! Thanks!
thanks for great theme Sgrunt..it s really nice..
there is a small problem
got to your profile page (/members/admin) and My Activity on the right side..
links are not working..example
You wrote a new blog post: blahblahblah
if you click “You” or “blahblahblah” you get “http://you.com/members/admin/”
is this a bug?
2 Question

Brilliant, cheers, much appreciated.. Been hunting through files all day for so many different things it’s all become a bit of a blur..
Easy enough to find out how to get logged in user avatar and change the size but hadn’t figured the $user->userid bit for that one.
/**
* bp_get_options_avatar()
* TEMPLATE TAG
*
* Gets the avatar for the current sub nav (eg friends avatar or group avatar).
* Does not check if there is one – so always use if ( bp_has_options_avatar() )
*
* @package BuddyPress Core
* @global $bp The global BuddyPress settings variable created in bp_core_setup_globals()
*/
What you want is:
<?= bp_core_get_avatar( $user->user_id, 2, 75, 75 ) ?>
The theme and the profile back end don’t support this right now but there is a mod you can try.
Change line 11 which reads:
<?php if ( bp_field_has_data()) : ?>
To read:
<?php if ( bp_field_has_data() && bp_field_has_public_data()) : ?>
In /bp-themes/buddypress-member/profile/profile-loop.php
Then you will manually have to use phpmyadmin and go into the table bp_xprofile_fields and change all the profile field records that are parent fields and have \’0\’ in the column \’is_public\’ to \’1\’ for the fields you want to show on the profile and \’0\’ for the fields you don\’t want to show.
Parent fields are the ones that have a \’0\’ in the \’parent_id\’ column.
Thanks, i will look at the theme plugin, do you have a url for it?
I altered the dns 5 days ago.
The url is: http://ourlordsfriends.ourlordsblogs.com/2009/03/26/olf-official-blog/
Thanks guys

it’s all about consolidation and managment. i think WP not only a blogware but also a CMS. so it will forge alot of MODULES just like Drupal does.BuddyPress is one of them. if all modules put it’s theme a diffrent folder, it’s not an error, just somewhat chaos for developers/site admin.
i DO know buddypress user theme cannot used by WP blog.
this might be a problem if the user have not selected any themes..this can also happen if you only upload few themes..
>based on my experience.. i suggest you use new blog defaults plugin to set the default theme for each new blogs..
Member themes are not and cannot be used as a home theme, or on any normal WP blog. It makes no sense to suggest they should live in the regular theme folder and is frankly rather silly to suggest.
Take a look at the latest trunk
https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk
They have re-organised the themes into a bp-themes folder. Maybe in the future you could drop any member theme in there and manage it through the admin to select what theme you want to use.
At the moment its just more logical.
this is what i\’m looking for a solution..
EDIT: do you mean that if u upload a theme on wp-content\themes all bp themes should not show on sub blogs back end menu if they would like to chose a theme?
am i right?
Vida, this is a custom theme just for buddypress.org. It’s not being released at the moment.
@Burtadsit: Not sure what you mean by “running the home theme on a subdomain”.
My WPMU is on a root domain (http://emigrando.info/). I’ve not created any other blog yet… just the default one… and it should be in its usual location (http://emigrando.info/), masked by the BP Theme… making it available (in theory) at http://emigrando.info/blog.
The problem is that http://emigrando.info/blog returns a “Not Found” blog page…
Download BuddyPress RC-1 → is not the same with the trunk wersion?
If not how can i upgrade?
Well alrighty then. I just thought it had been overlooked.
Andy can’t update the readme because it would change the readme in the download RC1 package. Something like that. He explained it. I got that out of the explanation Bloom.
Well, yes, it does modify wp-login.php but only via the plugin, it’s not a hardcoded change. So you just need to make the relevant theme changes etc.
I might look into working on this. Out of interest can someone with it running (and working) move it into /mu-plugins/? Does it work? If not, what exactly doesn’t? A quick look at the code suggests it would work OK.
Woah, woah. One problem at a time I’d suggest 
I assume you are using BP from Trunk and not RC-1. If you are using RC-1, I suggest using the Trunk.
Leave the forums for last. Also leave the random blog link for now. I suspect it is related to your other problems:
I have a lot of blogs already set up, and they are now showing on my front page as members, with the members.
Yep.
The blogs already set up do not show up in the members blogs on their profiles, but they do in the top bar.
Yep. I’m using http://theartnetwork.co.uk/wpmu/members/dedesorensen/ to test these with.
This will take some diagnosing. First of all, if you’ve modified the default homepage theme *at all*, please restore the original homepage theme. Is the problem (let’s go for the first one, blogs listed in members widget) still there?
If it is, please remove any plugins you’ve got in /plugins/ or /mu-plugins/ out. I can tell you’ve got at least nextgen-gallery, wlwmanifest, eshop. After moving these out (with the pristine default homepage theme), does the problem remain?
How do you make it ,so that users sign-in from the home theme than wordpress login backend?
Are you running the home theme on a subdomain? Is that the blog that is having 404 errors?
