Events Manager doesn’t produce any errors with BP.

yipee, one less thing to fix

also, great look and improvement guys, love the way BP has grown and improved so much since the early beta days

There is a Group Blog plugin which would do what you are looking for.I’ve tested it a few months ago.It creates a blog in the group ceate/admin process then you would need to select a theme which would match with your main blog. Not sure if it works with bp 1.5 yet though,i tested it on bp 1.2.9

I’m favouring Brunelleschi Theme at the moment. You can see it running at http://www.dennisbarkercv.com
compatibility is by running the buddypress buddypack plugin but it does pretty much what I want with no coding.

Anyway to make the new BP-Default a 3 column theme?

What djpaul said

How did you lose it? Did you change themes or installed a plugin?

The new version of BP-Default, that comes with BuddyPress 1.5, is awesome.

Hello all,

I have spent some time to understand what Andy said : “you can pass a “per_page=XX” parameter into the template loop”… I am pleased to share here the solution with you.

In the file Themes / Your_Theme / Members / members-loop.php, change the line 5 :
if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘members’ ) ) ) : ?>
to
if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘members’ ).’per_page=XX’ ) ) : ?>
(note that there is a “dot” between bp_ajax_querystring( ‘members’ ) and ‘per_page=XX’) since arguments are passed as a chain.

Hope it helps
Manu

change this in header.php:

`

`

Then add this function to bp-custom.php:

`function remove_ul_bp_nav ( $menu ){
return preg_replace( array( ‘#^

]*>#’, ‘#

$#’ ), ”, $menu );
}
add_filter( ‘wp_nav_menu’, ‘remove_ul_bp_nav’ );`

Hi folks sorry, coming back to this after a while.

I submitted my findings/questions to bp trac. They say that avatar upload during registration is going to be discontinued in bp 1.5 default theme. So, it may be a good idea to think about doing avatars after registration.

Personally, I can see their thinking.

1) Why let people who aren’t yet committed users get access to your file system?
2) registration is really complicated by the fact that you don’t yet know the user’s user id.

Still, I may be looking at this some more …

@raquel24or some links to get you started

This might be of further assistance to you http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/06/01/goodbye-headaches-hello-menus

You will have to add the code in functions.php, replace all the main navigation links in header.php with the call to nav_menu; and then create your custom menu in dashboard Appearance > Menu

Btw, come BP 1.5, the bp-default theme will have it’s own custom menu so you won’t have to go through all the steps in tutorial.

I had the same problem and I fixed it by copying the files from the child theme that have new translated items to the bp-default theme. Then I scanned the buddypress plugin using codestyling plugin to get the new po file, which contains now the new translated items. this works only if you keep the textdomain as “buddypress”. hope this helps..

No, you should not be editing files at plugins/bp-template-pack/. During the BP Compatibility process, 6 folders with BP template files were transferred to your active WP theme folder in server – activity, blogs, forums, groups, members, and registration folders.
– Download above-mentioned folders from your WP theme folder in server into your computer.
– Make the revisions in the files specified in Step Three https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
– Upload revised files to server.
– Done.

I want to use this http://www.weather.com/weather/today/30075
and replace it with
http://www.weather.com/weather/today/%zipcode% from the zipcode field of my users profiles. But, I can’t get it to work. I want the weather to show up in a bottom widget area unique to the users zipcode field from their profile.

Anyone know how I can do this?

I think it is failing to pull the user’s zipcode field setting because the RSS feed is from weather.com and not my domain.

Any ideas?

Open up activity/index.php and replace at the top:
`

`

Note: You would also want to change header tag in activity/index.php from
`

`
with your theme’s header tag for seamless look
`

`

Save activity/index.php and upload to server. Then do this for the remaining 12 files as indicated in Step Three of this codex page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

@ribena_wrath you’re missing the opening `

` which are supposed to wrap around the widgets. If you need further assistance, open up you active theme’s page.php, copy all therein, then paste to pastebin.com, click submit, then copy the generated URL and post here.

@Mike84 that is really strange. Curious, what WP theme are you using?

== I’ve tested by editing mytheme/members/index.php and changing the container div to something completely off, so as to see it in firebug. But, upon viewing mysite.com/members, i still see the content and padder divs. ==
– Do you have any cache plugin on? Deactivate it.
– Where do you edit the BP template files – download to computer and edit it there then upload or do you edit in cpanel (and might have forgotten to save revision)?

== Therefore making it impossible for me to edit the permissions which are currently set to 644? ==
You own those files. I have no problem changing permissions in my server. Are you on Windows server?

Look like BuddyPress’ has a version (what version?) of bbPress built in. Aside from the activity stream, looks like creating forums and topics is fully supported in BuddyPress. Combine it with Group Email Notifications plugin for BuddyPress and you have a pretty nice and fully functional forum. I tried bbPress 2.0 plugin too, but found it incompatible/too many issues. Best bet right now is to do a base install of WP + BuddyPress 1.2 then use BuddyPress’ Forum Setup menu item. Do Not Install bbPress 2.0 plugin atop this.
