BuddyPress.org

i’m sure it depends on the version your using: i was getting mad to solve it in my local installation with no success: i thought it was a fault of my custom theme. Then i’ve tried my custom theme on my second local installation and all worked fine. I don’t remember how to see the current version number of buddypress, if i know how to see it i can tell you what is the working version.

unfortunately this did not work for me, i’d also like to use one wpmu install and run multiple separate domains with buddypress on a subdomain and bbpress, using the inove theme.

see my post on wpmu forum

How do we address the path issue?

Make sure you are starting your customization with the latest trunk brad85. I don’t know what ver of bp’s home theme you are customizing. In the latest trunk there are two functions that control what goes on in the login/signup buttons. The bp home theme header.php file calls <?php bp_login_bar() ?>. In that fn it calls bp_signup_page() which you see below:

function bp_has_custom_signup_page() {

if ( file_exists( WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/themes/’ . get_blog_option( 1, ‘template’) . ‘/register.php’) )

return true;

return false;

}

function bp_signup_page( $echo = true ) {

global $bp;

if ( bp_has_custom_signup_page() ) {

if ( $echo )

echo $bp->root_domain . ‘/’ . REGISTER_SLUG;

else

return $bp->root_domain . ‘/’ . REGISTER_SLUG;

} else {

if ( $echo )

echo $bp->root_domain . ‘/wp-signup.php’;

else

return $bp->root_domain . ‘/wp-signup.php’;

}

}

Unless you don’t have the register.php file in /themes/<your theme>, or you’ve somehow altered the header calling sequence so this code doesn’t run, then it should work fine. The signup button should not have anything to do with wp-login.php

“i have the BuddyPress Home Theme set to active and the other set to no.”

here you are talking bout the “admin themes” where admin can approve or not themes that can be activated. But it is not the activation: go to Design / Themes and click on the selected theme you want to be active.

The member theme and some core functions all refer to the main blog. The will use whatever translation is active on that blog.

got this working now

however I am unable to log out via BP, I have to go to FB to logout

Are there functions in the home theme that need to be carried across into my custom theme?

Double, triple, quadruple check your work…

You’ll need to change your active theme in the main blog Appearance area also.

You should submit your designs to the Free BuddyPress Themes contest – http://www.freebpthemes.com

You could do that making the $args an array that contains values that have to be extracted, for example $before_widget that is in the code has to be

$args = ‘<div class=”my_class”>’;

$args = ‘</div>’;

$args = ‘<h2>’;

$args = ‘</h2>’;

and us $args in the function like bp_widget_you_want( $args )

Currently the bp widgets can’t be called as template functions.

Run don’t walk, to get firebug. http://getfirebug.com/

It is one of the essential parts of any toolkit. It will tell you what the names of the divs are that control this, show you the css that controls everything, including the names of the files and even allow you to interactively change settings on the fly to try things out.

Ok It works now

I think that member-themes wasn’t confusing, anyway bp-themes is better

We need to get Andy to changed the member theme not to show private profile fields, and then use those private profile fields in custom boxes to diaplay stuff. This would be a great way to ask for zipcode, and build a custom module to show a Google Map, or ask for birthday and just show a count down timer until their birthday.

Where I don’t expect this to be in the 1st version, but would be nice to get the details hammered out in early post release versions.

I’m playing around with the buddypress-home theme at the moment.

Thanks, I’ll have a look at that.

Hi Kelly,

Each blog uses it’s own theme so you will need to write your own actions to do this similar to https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=8041 and http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic.php?id=653 would be my guess.
