Hi Sebastian, that really sounds great!

We have similar specs, here are my responses:

[blockquote]I will be creating a new Blog BP plugin that will be pulling all the posts, categories and comments straight from the user’s blog. [/blockquote] Doesn’t “all activity” already do that? Also, you mean straight from the users blogs (plural), right? That means, users’ blogs will show in your “home blog” right?

[blockquote]I will only be allowing one blog per user.[/blockquote] Me too, is that an existing setting?

[blockquote]Also I setup my BP installation not to use subdomains for blogs but folders.[/blockquote]Me too, seems cleaner and more appropriate for a “user,” also I couldn’t get it to install with the other method!

[blockquote]I will be looking to hook into BP’s url dispatcher to use subdomains for the public profiles and will be disallowing direct access to the actual users WP blogs (maybe using .htaccess rules) so that way blogs will look and feel like they belong to the profile just like the wire, friends and eventually galleries and not a separate/independent entity the way it currently works.[/blockquote]

I don’t know what you mean by disallowing access to the actual users WP blogs. Oh, now I get it…they don’t even “post” or “see” their actual blogs.

…Hmm…

Well, here’s something that may be a bit of a shortcut that you could try, it’s just that I don’t know how to do one step.

Just make the user blogs have the theme “buddy press home.” It looks like it works just fine. The only thing is that the user is then asked to configure widgets. If you could figure out how to allow only the main admin to configure the user blog template (including widgets), and if you could figure out how to activate and deactivate and “move around” those widgets on all user blogs simultaneously (all user blogs use one theme, and the settings are all set in one place by the global admin), then, it seems to me like we would be all set.

What do you think?

Best,

This topic has been posted before. It’s not for distribution.

I noticed that there are so many inquiries about member-themes that their member themes are not loading or doesn’t show up.

To solve this you have to upload the default member theme then under Site Admin-BuddyPress in ‘Select theme to use for member pages:’ chose FaceBuddy.

After that you can now delete the default buddypress theme.

That would hopefully solve your problems.

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.

Has been updated to the ‘trunk 1281’ version of ‘FaceBuddy theme’ …

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

do you plan to make a bbpress facebuddy theme? I think many peoples waiting for this..

thanks for your time

/**

* 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.

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.

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.
