That?

The profile component has nothing to do with the menu bar. It probably has to do with your theme. I didn’t see any evidence of the menu bar at all on your site when I registered. You must have it turned off somehow.

Your theme must be calling get_footer() twice since that is how the menu bar is triggered.

same here…

Hi Sgrunt Thanks for your reply. I had already changed the folders before I installed facebuddy but the members theme still would not work for some reason.

It makes sense to me to give sub-blog owners a few templates, or just one. Really, I feel like too many templates will confuse the community, creating a lack of cohesiveness. Maybe I can have a few color schemes of the same template. Can my users upload templates? Should they be able to?

No, only you can. You’ll need to upload them to /wp-content/themes/.

I would like all activity to be presented on the main blog page. Basically, if anyone creates a sub-blog post, I would like that to be presented on the main page. Is that what the “all activity” widget does?

Yes.

I set things so that “blog owners” or “sub-blog owners” can’t install plugins, and I would like a nice, safe set of plugins and widgets that they can use without causing any damage. What about that WP plugin installer feature? Will someone gain access to it and break things?

You (as the admin) can upload plugins and widgets either via FTP (or similar) or via the Browser/Installer feature. You can also make plugins run on every site by putting them into the /wp-content/mu-plugins/ folder. The end user can activate or deactivate the plugins, but with the default user permissions, they don’t have access to the Browser/Installer page (I have just tested this).

bbPress is an absolute pain to work with. Its themeing process is unlike the rest of the Automatic family, very idiosyncratic and frustrating if you try to tackle it from scratch.

But…

I discovered that Refueled.Net makes a \\\”blank\\\” bbPress theme that is a snap to customize. Head over to: http://www.refueled.net/free-bbpress-themes/ and install one of those, then go in and make your custom mods there.

Easypeazy.

Are you using the standard bp home theme? What version of bp? Works for me with IE7. I don’t think this is a bp issue.

Margin or padding the left edge of the containing div for whatever widget you are interested in is the way to go probably. First install firebug to figure out what to alter and what the current settings are: http://getfirebug.com/

That will tell you what you need to change and even allow you to interactively change css to try before you buy. You need to override the css in your theme\\\’s site-wide.css file. Create one in your theme\\\’s /theme/css directory. Create the \\\’css\\\’ directory if it doesn\\\’t exist.

Example: move the site wide activity widget 3px to the right in the bp home theme if it\\\’s activated in the left-column.

1) Create: /wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/css/site-wide.css

2) Firebug says that the containing div is: \\\’buddypress-activity\\\’ and has the classes: \\\’widget\\\’ and \\\’bp_activity_widget_sitewide_activity\\\’

3) In site-wide.css we override the default setting for class bp_activity_widget_sitewide_activity which is specific to this widget and firebug tells me that nothing is modifying this class yet. So we do:

.bp_activity_widget_sitewide_activity{

margin-left: 3px;

}

I should stick to programming. I really suck at css so that may cause your server to have a meltdown and your children to talk back to you.

If you want all blog posts to show up on the main blog then you are looking for donncha’s sitewide tags plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-sitewide-tags/

Your member’s individual blog pagination depends on the theme they are using. It’s the theme’s responsibility. Am I understanding you correctly about ‘member blogs page’? Maybe not.

Hi Im still getting the same problem as mentioned above and I downloaded the zip about 1 hour ago. The home theme works fine but the members theme does not work I also have the latest trunk and BP.

I know where that constant (which has actually been renamed since) is defined, but I think it’s a much better approach if you install the SVN trunk.

I don’t know of any database/table changes since RC1. If I were you I might consider just copying out your .htaccess and wp-config.php to a safe location (and any theme changes etc you’ve made – you’ll have to reimplement these afterwards). Get the trunk with svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk and put it into your mu-plugins, and put the .htaccess and wp-config.php files back in place. And crossing my fingers.

I haven\\\’t tried that plugin Kenneth. I do know that others have had success with the solution outlined in the forum topic above. It\\\’s just not the most elegant solution because bp doesn\\\’t have any hooks for blog creation right now. Gotta hack the theme.

I thought I put in a ticket for a blog creation hook. Guess I didn\’t. I turned the red light on in this topic because I don’t have time to hunt down the best spot for a hook at the moment. I’ll lose track of this thread if it doesn’t stand out. Or somebody else could do it! (hint)

@Takuya, try liaise with Willnorris about adapting it for BP? maybe there’s an OPENID side-bar widget which could used on the BP home theme!

if you are using your own theme, you are out of luck!

There are many, many many. post on this topic.

When you use your own theme, you will need to copy the register.php to your theme directory.

If you do so.. you we always get.. the login page.

If you are not copy the register.php to your theme directory, it will default to wp-signup.php.

it works fine, however, because it does not use buddypress-language file your site will have mix of English and your mother tounge language.

The best work around I come up with is… do not copy the register.php.

Translate the WPMU language into your language.

I believe, this is logged for bug fix.

This plugin works with wpmu 2.7 in following steps.

1. user manually registers.

2. activate account

3. go to profile, add openid

4. users can now login with their openid account(s)

OpenID login form is displayed on wp-login.php, but not on buddypress themed wp-signup, as it’s customized for buddypress.

This thread is not updated since 2 months ago, anyone else with tips or updates?

The bbpress forum install isn’t part of the admin menu. You can put it there by modifying the menu though. I’m guessing that the second question means that you’d like your bbpress theme to look like your bp theme. Yes, you can. You have to create a new bbpress theme for yourself.

You can find or create any theme you want for bp and bbpress. There isn’t a bbpress theme that looks like the default bp theme yet. As far as I know.

I would copy the entire bp_get_nav function except the final part where it adds the logout link, and make your own function called bp_get_nav_no_logout, and put that function in your bp-custom.php file.

This way you can modify the member theme instead of the core files.

Take this a step further and make your own member theme, that way you’re not modifying the stock member theme either.

If you feel like this is something you’d like to have more control over in the future, add it to the trac as a feature enhancement. I could see being able to hook into those functions or modify their behavior as having its benefits.

I typically use it as a blog for the purpose of the website itself. A place to talk about the whole community. Then I make my own blog that I use to blog about myself inside the website, sort of as a guide for other users to follow.

I also tend to create a different custom theme for the main blog that other users cannot use. It helps to visually separate itself as something maybe a bit more important and website specific than the others.

No side effects that I know of, though our setup is still \”young\” (only been live for just over a month) so I don\’t know the long-term implications yet.

One thing I will mention, though — if you site has been live for a while you\’ll have to do some SQL cleanup in the database to rename things that have been cached (like user activity). For example:

UPDATE wp_bp_activity_sitewide SET content = replace(content,\' wire:\',\' wall:\');

What do you have to do different now that you didn\’t before you had the faux translation?

Actually, the biggest difference is a positive one: instead of hand-changing all the instances of \”Wire\” in the plugin and theme files we keep that in the language file instead. Since the language file (and the bp-custom file) aren\’t in the BuddyPress SVN repo they will never get overwritten when we upgrade.
