BuddyPress.org

I installed the plugin for testing purpose and I didn’t like it at all.

The chat software it self is nice stuff.

Build by https://blueimp.net/ajax/

I daunt like to have advertising stuff integrated. And there is add-sense in this Plugin.

I think this is not the finest way of making money.

If you want to test it, you need to install the chat client too.

For me it look like you just installed the plugin.

Go to the plugin directory. There must be a directory chat. Go in there and read the readme file.

After you fallow the instillation process of the chat software.

You will be able to chat and the Page will show up.

You will need to enter your mysql connection information.

I don’t know, but I think it is the best not to use the wordpress database for this.

Actually it is not a plugin and has nothing to do with wordpress it self.

The chat has its own connection to the db.

If you make a new group and join user(s) into it, does this problem reoccur? If it does, try to deactivate all plugins other than BuddyPress and make a new group and try again. If it doesn’t reoccur, then it’s a conflict with a plugin.

I have read recently of problems with feedwordpress + BuddyPress, so there’s an incompatibility somewhere (if indeed feedwordpress works with WPMU).

I’m inclined to thing this is a problem from the Groupblogs plugin, but let me know what happens when you test the above.

The best way to start with a theme for BP is to start off with the bp-default theme. Then copy files across from the bp-sn-parent theme if you need to modify a file. If not, then you can leave that file in bp-sn-parent, cause WP will get that automatically for you.

Of course, you can add all the functions later. The codex here is a great starting point on what functions are available to you. You can also go through the bp-sn-parent theme and have a look what’s in there and move it across, if you don’t want to use a parent/child theme structure.

You can place div#search-login-bar anywhere you like.

do_action functions cannot be reversed. They happen at exactly that spot in the template files. There’s so many, though, that you won’t have a problem finding one that suits your needs. Basically, you can write some custom functionality and add that to a certain hook by calling the add_action function. Here’s an example.

Somewhere in a template you might have this:

do_action( 'your_action_name' );

Then in your theme’s functions.php file you could put the following:

function your_function_name()

{

//some stuff happens here

}

add_action( 'your_action_name', 'your_function_name' );

That’s basically it. Sometimes the action passes along a variable with which you can then work.

Hope this helps you along a bit. The codex at wordpress.org is pretty extensive as well and you’ll find loads of stuff on actions.

Hi Marius,

Do you have a Demo-website online to test your plug-in ?

Another thing: is there a chance to have something like the following, but not on a Group-Blog, but just a normal User-Blog ?

Many thanks,

To defend Mr Peatling, I believe he has just taken the existing WordPress FBC plugin and adapted it to work with WPMU/BuddyPress.

It’s a mock-up indeed: http://apeatling.wordpress.com/2008/06/12/new-buddypress-theme/

Widgets displaying on certain blogs/pages is probably something you are best searching the WordPress forum/plugin directory for, as it’s not something that BuddyPress implements.

The text “The default theme for BuddyPress” cannot be translated as it is in a .css file. As only the site administrator will see that text when they activate the theme, is it a big issue? The other text here is part of WordPress.

The wrong path thing is more interesting and there are some other forum posts here with that problem. I don’t know when I will get time to look into it so maybe someone else can help.

hey

Try this one,hopefully It will help.

Otherwise you can always edit the template file for profile.

hi,Your page will not be accessible as http://yourdomain.com/features.php as it resides in your theme,It should be accessible via http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/your_theme_name/pages/features.php

Now my advise,better look at How to use page template in wordpress.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates

You can use your features.php as page template and create a page features, so this file can be accessed via yourdomain.com/features

Hope it helps.

Use the defining function option in this post, it works like a charm. I just did it and it was a piece of cake!

Great idea and I would love to help out in creating buddypress themes.. I’m experienced in making themes, but not familiar with wordpress/buddypress but I think it would be good to have a site dedicated to bp themes only
