BuddyPress.org

and make sure you upload it to http://www.freebuddypressthemes.com!

I personally feel that sooner or later, we’ll be seeing a slew of themes that are BP-ready. They could be either mods of current WP themes or completely custom themes. I would imagine theme designers will start making them available to the public, as well as designing them for their own use. Not many people are going to be happy using the same theme as everybody else, which you can see because lots of people are skinning the theme and others are making BP work with standard WP themes. I’m working with the Hybrid template (http://themehybrid.com) to make a custom bp-home theme for BP.

Edit mu-plugins/bp-friends.php, mu-plugins/bp-friends/bp-friends-notifications.php, mu-plugins/bp-friends/bp-friends-templatetags.php,mu-plugins/bp-friends/bp-friends-widgets.php and the files in the member-themes/buddypress-member/friends…it may take a little while, but you have to look for places where it says “Friends” and change it to “Contacts”. There is also one more place you have to change my friends for the activity navigation, look in mu-plugins/bp-activity.php. I did it all manually. I am building a site for business usage as well. The great thing about buddypress is the files are easily customizable. I hope this helps.

I’m not sure what you mean. It’s possible for users to choose traditional WordPress themes for their blogs, while using BuddyPress themes for the BuddyPress-related stuff. I struggled with this too, but if you read the instructions for the individual theme downloads, it makes more sense. The instructions for the package download don’t exactly make it clear.

So, I’ve got a BuddyPress home theme with its own name, a BuddyPress member theme (which is required), and then a traditional WP theme I’ve set to “default” (by changing its directory name to “default”), which is the default things for user blogs. And I will also have a selection of traditional themes that users can switch their blogs to.

Good luck!

I’m hoping BP will be released with themes that do work in all major browsers.

I get the same error when updating to 1.0/

Installed BuddyPress theme in “wp-content/themes/default”

How do I Update my home theme as suggested?

The install docs tell us that we need to follow the directions in:

/mu-plugins/buddypress-theme/readme.txt

to get the themes in the right spots.

The widget titles are hardcoded at the moment. Which one do you want to change? Here’s the pattern for each:

Members widget – /mu-plugins/bp-core/bp-core-widgets.php

Lines 12/13 :

register_sidebar_widget( __('Members', 'buddypress'), 'bp_core_widget_members');

register_widget_control( __('Members', 'buddypress'), 'bp_core_widget_members_control' );

Change ‘Members’ to ‘Whatever’

If you have them running already they will disappear from the backend and your theme. Just put put them back again.

https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/buddypress-theme/member-themes/member-themes-readme.txt

I’d start with the readme document

but everything should be uploaded to mu-plugins and then make sure you put the themes in the correct places. you won’t see anything regarding bp in your plugins, but you will see a buddypress option under “site admin”

you need the core and xprofiles folders to get it running and then install any extras you want

but read the readme!

The home theme is just a WordPress theme, (with a couple of new template files if you want to use the directories).

Member themes are used for all pages that are not blog related.

Members are on a global basis, you can’t tie members to specific blogs at the moment. The only way to do this without modifying any code is to use separate MU installations.

You could achieve this with a plugin though, but it would require some work.

yes,

http://testbp.org/news

that is the standard theme applied to the initial blog.

Be warned, you may have problems with some features. It is not recommended to be used on normal wordpress.

I created pages for Members, Groups, and Blogs, and the error went away. I mean, create the Page, giving it the appropriate title ‘Members’, ‘Groups’, ‘Blogs’, don’t add any content, and click Publish. I am using another theme other than buddypress-home.

I know, a lot is possible with css and theme-tuning. But not f.eks.

– send news to the wire

– send news to blogs

There a lot off people out without a iphone, with classics mobile devices. I use f.eks. the iphone-apps for ebay and facebook. Its more comfortable and optimized.

I have already looked at this and think it is as simple as just creating a CSS for buddypress that works on mobile devices and using Alex King’s plugin. If you want the fancy stuff, then you create a theme for mobile device and use the iTouch plugin. I already created a bbPress mobile plugin by modifying Alex’s WP mobile plugin, so it shouldn’t be that hard to do for Buddypress.

You might want to check with nicolagreco over at http://buddypressdev.org/ He’s doing alot of theme work.

When viewing the member profile $bp_skip_blog_check is null. So the above does happen.

When viewing a directory $bp_skip_blog_check is true, $bp_no_status_set is null so it does status_header(200). The var $pages ($bp_path) is plugin-template.

Then it does load_template() which gets us back to the is_404() question because it extracts the $wp_query->query_vars which have no validity since we aren’t in Kansas.

Template runs and $wp_query->query_vars are showing what? That wp doesn’t know anything about this page.

var_dump($wp_query->query_vars) shows everything is empty except a few things like ‘pagename’ and ‘name’ for member theme profile in the header.

is_404() happily returns true.

status_header(200) doesn’t seem to be enough to convince wp that all is well. What would?

is_404() just does return $wp_query->is_404 which isn’t even set.

lemme try it in the browser…

Yep. I see the problem:

<a href="<?php global $bp; echo bp_core_get_userurl($bp['loggedin_userid']) ?>activity/my-friends">Your Friends Activity</a>

That works. Wasn’t working for me either. I’m not trying this in a bp theme. Because I hadn’t declared that I wanted to play with $bp it resolves to nothing.

Don’t know where you are using this but withing the scope of usage of that var you have to declare you want to use it.
