Very Cool Website. Nice theme and everything. Best of luck. It’s a neat concept. Just like what cable tv did to the major networks, these types of sites will do to the big blog worlds. It will get much more niche and specialized.
I’m not sure what you mean by “concerned with”, but I don’t see any reason why you can’t just use the high-five code from there if you find it useful.
Thanks for this Andy, it really helps. I started integrating my custom pages into this skeleton component yesterday. I noticed there is a good bit of functionality in it for the “high fives”. If I convert this to mine, is there any functionality that I should be concerned with that I need to remove?
Family website, default theme, installed a few hours ago. Not much to it yet but the potential has me starry eyed: http://jemisonfamily.net
RC1 is ‘member-themes’ latest trunk is ‘bp-themes’
Seems like you need to re-upload bp. You didn’t get everything.
If you’re using RC1 that’s wrong
From: 'wp-content/mu-plugins/buddypress-theme/member-themes/buddypress-member/'
To: 'wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/
you’ve to copy bp-themes in /wp-content/bp-themes
Edit the Header file both in Home and member theme and place your link there.
Hope you know how to do that in your WP blog.
vgfan, I did the theme myself, not much to it to be honest
Built it off the default themes in buddy press
Yeah I have to for my theme…Am I not supposed to do that? 
Ok so I guess the next question is, can I do something to fix it?
hi Andy: the home.php (my homepage that is not part of MU) and the index.php (that comes with MU) are in the root, not in the theme.
It has always worked ’til yesterday: the url http://wikiroma.it goes to http://wikiroma.it/home.php
Only when clicking http://wikiroma.it/index.php users were directed to MU home theme (buddypress).
But now the index.php reload the home.php and so people can’t enter the MU homepag
home.php will always override index.php in any theme. I think it has always worked like that?
http://writers.burstfiction.com
Doing a relaunch of the flash literature zine Burst Fiction with the main focus being a BP powered area for the writer community. Still working on the themes, haven’t officially announced it open but please feel free to pick it apart and give any constructive criticism.
Yes I updated the themes.
I’ve overwritten every file from a fresh WPMU 2.7 download, latest Buddypress SVN, and switched back to the latest “unmodified” bp-themes.
The problem still occurs.
I’m going to check comments.php now, maybe I can find something wrong in there.
ok, first of all, in Revolution style.css:
#header: padding 25px 20px
(so the topnavbar will show under admin bar).
then You gotta to add to style.css this:
#content: width 610px (or in #postarea)
Sorry if I tell You, but your css is not well integrated between Revolution css and Buddypress css. That’s the main problem if the site looks not so good.
If you need more help you’re free to ask.
Damn Kunkel, that’s one nice theme. Did you make it yourself or did someone else make it for you?
I’m actually looking for someone who can customize a theme for me and integrate Buddypress and bbPress in it.
How hard do you think integrating BuddyPress into a site already running WP would be? Would it just be a matter of inserting php tags into where you would like certain features to appear? Or would it mean redesigning a whole theme so that it would work with BuddyPress?
I’m not much of a coder, but I know my way around. About how hard do you think integration with a WP theme would be?

looks like the top bar got all messy. Seems to be hidden underneath the page at random spots. Revolution theme would be perfect with buddypress if I can work out all the small things.
Hey vskylabv, wait before leavin Revolution!
I’m currently adapting a Streamline theme to buddypress so I can help you!
You could use DarkPress: it’s cool, it’s for buddypress, and it’s free
http://www.buddydress.com/2009/03/darkpress-theme/
As I’m a Revolution/Studiopress (ab)user I can help you for sure, but you have to wait this late evening (GMT+1) when I’ll come back home.
Looks like it’s a float problem.
Make sure the members list div is on “float:left” and the sidebar div is “float:left” as well. Then you have to make sure that the total width of the divs (INCLUDING MARGINS) is less than the total with of the page. So if you’re working with percentages, make the total width 99% or so (say, members div = 59% sidebar is 30%). If you’re working with absolutes, make the total width 5 or 10px less than the page width. Be careful of the margins as they are OUTSIDE of the div widths and if they add up to more than the page’s width, your floats will not work.
Also make sure at the end of the two divs you put a <div class=”clear”></div> to clear up the floating for the footer.
I’ll jump on the wagon here – has there been any progress since this series of posts?
This support forum looks great, and as all I’m using is a modified buddypress theme whatever this site uses would be perfect.
Anything around that could do the job?
The prospect of starting from scratch isn’t something I’m particularly keen on to be honest.
guys i don’t want to be boring: i’ve installed last MU, latest buddy press trunk but the problem it is still there. I’m testing the default home theme: after clicking newest, active, popular, the item-avatars loose the link
sgrunt, ya I guess you wouldn’t need to mod the widget code, just the theme code. hmm. Well if Andy says it’ll go away by updating to latest trunk then it will. Warning! The theme directories have changed. See: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1675
I can’t reproduce this. I know this issue has cropped up before. I remember it now. Did you update your themes also?
