im a professional designer/developer with a little over a decade of experience, and i can tell you that you’re offering too little. i’m not negotiating as my plate is already very full, but quality work from a professional would require a minimum budget of around $500, and a more realistic budget of around $800 for such work. if you dont have this, then i’d suggest waiting for buddypress’ popularity to grow a bit more over the next couple months, i’m sure there will be all kinds of custom themes and plugins becoming available for small fees…

Thanks, PerS -this was helpful for me as well.

For those who are still confused – take the code, put it in a file (ie new-menu-items.php) and upload it to your “mu-plugins” directory. Works like a champ.

Question for PerS or anyone else: what would the code look like if I wanted to insert a new menu item in another position than on the right?

Ie. Home About News etc.

And what would I need to remove a menu item from that menu bar, assuming I do not want to hack the theme files?

Thanks in advance

the member theme is an higly hacked version of the buddypress-member, i integrated my own theme with it.

Here’s a WPMU plugin that allows admin to set new blog defaults, including the default theme.

http://wpmudev.org/project/New-Blog-Defaults

i may have just figured that out….not sure if thats what youre saying……

here’s what i did:

1. deleted all themes in my theme folder except the one i wanted to use, then renamed it “default”

2. i then went to the member themes folder, deleted all the themes i wasn’t using except the one i wanted to use, and renamed it “default”

and presto!

when a new user signs up they will get the “default” them, /wp-content/themes/default

replace that with whatever theme you want them to get, in this case, the buddypress theme

I also am having the same issue and I’m very curious to fix this. thanks.

i have exact same problem. we got wildcard subdomains. but after creation of new blog i got blnak screen. in new blog admin panel i see no themes in Design section. why that? oO

Howdy. I’ve never modified the default mechanism. No that you’ve brought it up, looks like I will. Ugly. Been awhile since I faked a new user registration. One more thing on the list.

I took a look at wp-signup.php and it calls the theme’s header and footer and has it’s own internal css. We gotta modify that or go get a plugin. It doesn’t know anything about your theme’s sidebars.

yew. not good. my member theme stopped working yesterday for no apparent reason. not as bad as a trashed db but same results. i changed something in header.php, uploaded it and things stopped functioning in bp’s member theme.

checked the file

checked the error logs ‘Fatal error: no such thing as bp_search_form()’. ‘eh?

checked the file in a hex editor

deleted the file on the server and re-uploaded

replaced the file from svn

replaced the file from my backup

had to reinstall all the bp code

dunno.

Howdy. If you make the bp home theme available for your users they can choose it. It wasn’t designed for that but it’ll work though. It’s just a widget framework. Hang anything you want on it.

I don’t think a Twitter-like functionality will be added to the BP core but this can be done now with around 10 minutes of work.

All you’d need to do is create a blog such as whereareyou.domain.com. Then add all existing users as authors and auto-add new users as authors to the blog (see this post for details on doing this, it only takes a minute). Finally install and tweak the prologue theme to suit your site. The updates users post to the blog will automatically show up on their profile like other blog posts.

This is a really basic implementation of a “Twitter-like” functionality, but with a little tweaking this setup works really well.

i have had buddypress running on mine since it was available, i am still seeing bugs but nothing too major

http://hyrxx.com is my main site but im running the buddypress home theme on http://launch.hyrxx.com – this is an interesting way to have it setup i know but also it may give ideas to others who want a separate part for buddypress, i am still considering moving my blog to a subdomain and putting buddypress on the main page but for this to happen i want to learn to theme it and i need it to be extremely perfect

my site is about me and teenlife so please look but dont touch unless you interested its more of a niche kinda thing that most of you wont understand but i posted since i wanted to show my installation, i hope for it to grow and make a proper social network within my freinds, i want to encourage them to all blog and create relationships using wp and bp, feedback apprieciated robbie@hyrxx.com
