The ‘Role’ attribute was described and proposed for XHTML for machine extractable data, as used by WP it’s in the html5 guise I think, sadly under (X)HTML the attribute is undefined and not valid. perhaps 1.3 ought to change and follow the trend and use the plain HTML dtd
Don’t forget the new roles added in 1.3… although I’m not quite sure what “role” they play 
Good spot. And, the current users should add the styling (lines 472-475) for the .one-column in their child theme’s style.css as well while waiting for 1.3.
Might be best if the pcwriter example was changed vis a vis the template and file name to match the upcoming bp-deafult, but perhaps it doesn’t really matter?
Just spotted this class name diff as well in 1.3 it’s `
`
@hnla, I’m not worthy as you are 
Double checking one-column width in svn with @pcwriter‘s code above, only difference is php file name and template file name, so all’s well.
didn’t think to link to an example from SVN – I’ve the brain of a slug at times.
Thanks @hnla. Now that’s a good example.
Different theme. I’m not supporting widget theme any longer. I may make columns into a custom theme.
A one column template page has been added to the default theme files for 1.3.
Create a new file called page-full.php (or any other name you prefer). Then paste the following code in that file. The only differences between this and the “regular” page.php is that the call to the sidebar has been removed, and “div class=padder” has been changed to “div class=full-padder”.
`<?php
/*
Template Name: Full-Width Page
*/
?>
<div class="post" id="post-“>
<?php the_content( __( '
Read the rest of this page ?
‘, ‘buddypress’ ) ); ?>
__( ‘
Pages: ‘, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘after’ => ‘
‘, ‘next_or_number’ => ‘number’)); ?>
<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit this entry.', 'buddypress' ), '
‘, ‘
‘); ?>
`
Then add this to your child-theme’s style.css file:
`div#content .full-padder {margin:0;padding:19px;}`
When you create a page in WordPress, you’ll see your new template is available in the “Page Attributes” Template dropdown.
@Chaotic_Cannon, I believe @hnla meant that you could continue the thread here instead of the wp forum as @mercime frequents this forum as well as the wp forum, and this is a more suitable place to talk about your questions related to buddypress. It would be easier for mercime and all involved in this thread to follow the conversation. No reason to get defensive.
When you say you like the other forum plugins better, is that because buddypress forums are tied to groups? If so, you may want to check out this plugin which makes the forums standalone ala vbulletin (“normal forums”) etc:
http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-global-sitewide-forums-plugin-for-buddypress/ For a demo, check out the sites forum.
Other then that it is possible to integrate the max theme with bp template pack. You could have your friend check that out.
Buddypress is more advanced than e.g. wp-symposium, but it is not really an out-of-the-box solution. Most likely you need help from a coder friend or you´d need to hire some to help with your customizations.
@modemlooper: hi is “citizen kane” the continuation theme of “widget theme” or “bp columns” or a combination or just a complete new one?
thanks for illumination

Hi – I would like to know how to make a page template like that please.
Achievements, like any other active plugin, is always in a state of ongoing development. Please can this topic get back on focus.
My bad, it was a header.php code error. fixed it already.
This is possible, but it would have to be a custom-coded plugin as such a plugin doesn’t currently exist. Shouldn’t be too hard with a little usermeta and a settings page.
If you’re talking about custom colors for other elements apart from the body’s background-color, then I can foresee problems as each BuddyPress (child) theme could be customized to oblivion!
You can put the code from the second patch into your theme’s functions.php file.
You’ll probably have to change “bp_loaded” to “init” though.
I made a cute bp child them, and I am a super dummy in all aspects of coding. Since bp theme works great with a super dummy, I think it should not be considered as a beast
I asked the question in another forum, Mercime suggested I come here and post.
I did that, and then Mercime was the one that double posted a reference link here and in the WP forum so people can see that this is an ongoing topic covering both WP and BP compatibilities and questions. I simply let people know here that there was more info posted in the other forum about this question and then I had a question specifically for Paul who makes a BP plugin(s) and obviously uses these forums more often than the WP forums.
So dont single me out for doing something when there is actually 1 person that has been willing to help me out on 1 site forums and another 1 here, and me trying to make sure everyone is kept in the loop. I am sure there are people that frequent here and not WP forums, and vice versa.
I am a director for an established site that has over 50,000 hits a day and I can safely say it is bad board etiquette to single out people on forums when they are simply asking for help. It shows that a community is more willing to bash people than help them and will ensure that people will stop asking questions for help.
I’d like to give credit where credit is due. StudioPress comes to mind as one of the big theme developers who bravely went into BP theme market way before Woo did. Of course way before StudioPress officially did so, there’s WPMUDev who navigated successfully through the waters of bp-sn-parent and the member themes as well and continues to come up with great BP themes with BuddyDress. Much more kudos to the individual theme devs who released their BP themes and child themes to the BP community, even way before WPMUDev rolled out BP themes
Same problem here…
Using latest versions of WP and BP
Suffusion Theme.
WP, BP, and suffusion in english language.
Woo themes can be thankful they were not dealing with the classic theme. That theme was a tangled mess.
It is easy to develop and theme in buddypress just as it is in wordpress ,you have to make use of template tags.
I’m about to release few themes for free soon.
