I don’t think i find the widgets useful for my website. The idea is great, and the outcome too. But i just want to set some default ‘boxes’ with content on my frontpage.
The member and groups widgets are fine, they do the job. But i don’t want them to be a widget. I just want to include them in my template file instead of choosing it first as a widget.
Like I said in my first post – i want to add a php include thingy to add different type of boxes (widgets). So that users can’t choose their homepage layout theirselves.
PS. im known with basic PHP and i understand and can work with the wordpress template files or create them by myself
You could do it, but it is no five minute job, as you’d have to learn of a WordPress theme template works and add the code of the widgets to the code of the theme you are using. This means you pretty much have to learn PHP. Do you know PHP?
May I ask why you don’t want to use the widgets?
I also think this will be great!
Doing more research I found the following thread in the wp-forum:

Mippe: P2 brokes äÄ öÖ åÅ letters when editing. That pretty much sums it all up.
noel (Administrator): We’re aware of the issue and will fixing this in the next release.
But I am still unsure: This problem then occurs only with WordPress MU?
Hello Mates, I know I went M.i.A for a while.
but I wanted to say thanks for the good responses
before it got way too late.
I got focused into developing our BP site
and have been searching through the forums
for all kinds of questions and possibilities.
I’m sure I’ll be posting about them soon.
But for this, I think we’ll start working with group / blog mods first
and try out the multi-site url solutions.
The BP integration still seems like an interesting challenge
especially as the single wordpress BP installs come into play.
John if you have more details about the functions.php solution,
please contact me.
and if there are any other ideas about this,
or possible plugin solutions,
I’d love to hear them.
Sincerely,
– Jeff –

I deactivated the BP-plugin. Problem remains. So it’s probably an issue with WordPress MU and the P2-theme?!
Try removing or disabling BuddyPress. Does this problem still occur on WordPress MU?
Hello!
I have Buddypress 1.0.3 (German) running in WordPress MU 2.8.2 (German) and use the cool P2-Theme (Prologue, german language file), which permits frontend editing and resemblesTwitter. However I experience the problem that with the frontend editing in posts and comments existing umlauts get distorted when the editor field is loaded and opened: Ex.: ä becomes ä, ü becomes à ¼, ö becomes ö and ß becomes ß…
This remains when the edited text ist saved again. I can however enter and store new umlauts in the editor correctly – the issue concerns in each case only the umlauts transferred from the stored text to the editor. Under WordPress 2.8.3 the P2-theme on the same server runs without any problems. Both installations run under UTF-8 encoding. I don’t know what to check or do?!? Does anyone have any idea how this could be fixed? Thanks a lot in advance!
For #1, use Justin Tadlock’s Get The Image plugin in a loop. Or to make things easier, use Tadlock’s query_posts widget with Get The Image to easily define which posts to display. The Get The Image plugin does not cache the images though.
If you’re looking for image resizing / caching, try TimThumb from darrenhoyt.com… although I never have been able to get that working on WP.
For #2, there’s two plugins that I know of.
First one is The WordPress Bar. The second one is Pretty Link. It will not integrate with the BP bar… it will add another bar for external pages.
For #3, you’ll have to get creative with the xprofile fields. I have something setup with a BP install I’m working on, which manipulates the BP profile loop and uses CSS manipulation to display the social badges.
Hello all.. I need some tips to start in right direction for the following instances. I want to implement the following things in my home theme.
1.Extracting the recent blog posts accross my wpmu/buddypress website with thumbnails sof the first image in the post. I have read an article about caching first image of post in wordpress but need some help for mu version.
2.I dont know have it been asked before or not, but is there any plugin that can make my buddypress admin bar work for external link just like a digg bar.
3.Helps in adding blogger, wordpress and other blogs /(external) blogs to the member fields, as seen in flokka.com
Thanks for ur help
yes, full integration… I’ve noticed however that it creates a SECOND account if the member already has one, so it’s either log in with Twitter credentials, or with WordPress credentials…. site seems to consider them as separate accounts.
I explain this to my users at http://outgaylife.com/wp-login.php
Hi all!
I’m trying to use a horizontal userbar from BP on a WordPress theme. I’m using the P2-theme (ajaxified twittering) as the “front page” and BP for other social activities.. Instead of using some navigation (forum, blog, etc) I’m only using the userbar from the BP-theme bpmember.
When using the code from userbar.php
<div id="userbar">
<ul id="bp-nav">
<?php bp_get_nav() ?>
</div>
in the header.php in the wordpress theme I’m not seeing the proper userbar (and the optionsbar isn’t showing at all).
Am I on the right track? Is it possible to call on bp_get_nav within WordPress?
I’ve called on the functions.php from bpmember-theme and also templatetags.php:
include_once (TEMPLATEPATH . "/root/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bpcore/bp-core-templatetags.php");
I’ve placed the /images/ at both places (at wp-theme from bp-theme).
What am I missing or is this simply not possible?
This is a vanilla install of the latest WPMU + BP. No strange custom bp functions.
Would really like some pointers!
If this is impossible can I somehow get a proper URL for a loged in user to different location? This is a work around. Proper url: root/members/***NAME***/profile. Is it possible to give some hardcoded link to that place? I could rewrite the navigationbar and use that instead.

Hello-
I would like to change the colors a bit on my Mumblepage. Where is the css or stylsheet location and how would I be able to do this without breaking it? I had done this before in the wordpress but cant see where in the buddypress.
Many thanks again!
-Mumbler
I have WPMU setup in the root, but wanted to have the “community” page on a different page as well.
Here’s what I did:
- Create a new WordPress page template with the BP widget toolbar calls in it.
- Create a new WordPress page and apply the page template you created in step #1.
- Add BP widgets to the BP widget toolbar.
That should be it!
There isn’t. The Dashboard on this site is a custom page, and is nothing to do with the WordPress admin backend.
Regular WordPress pages have something like this in the body tag:
page-template-contact-php
In this case, the template page contact.php. I can use that in CSS to set the Contact menu button to ‘current/active page’.
The members, groups and blogs sections in Buddypress all have only this in the body tag:
class=”directory”
How can I add a section identifier to that body tag? So I get something like this:
class=”directory members”
Which piece of code adds the class to the regular WordPress pages? Could I use a modified version of the code for Buddypress sections? Can I fix it in the template or do I have to hack core files?
Or are there other ways to set a menu button to active? I’ve looked at Javascripts, but couldn’t get anything to work. I prefer a CSS solution.
I would like to use the “BuddyPress Default Home Theme” on a different directory than root, such as http://www.example.com/community/ and leave my front page with my current blog template. Is this possible?
I tried installing another blog on /community/ and using the BP Home Theme there but it did not work since all the Buddy Press URLs are now relative to that directory.
Sorry if this is a lame question, im new to BP and WordPress MU in general!
Thanks!
Well we know that within the next 6 months, mu and wordpress will eventually combine. At that point, it would be safe to bet that buddypress will work with both the multi-user as well as the single user (both will be the same)
List version numbers of buddypress, wordpress mu, and bbpress.
I believe this means that the mysql query wasn’t understood or the answer was blank (empty) and it didn’t know what to do with it.
I saw this error in my error_log file (about 10 times), can someone please tell me what the problem is?
WordPress database error Query was empty for query made by require, require_once, do_action, call_user_func_array, bp_core_do_catch_uri, load_template, require_once, bp_edit_profile_form, xprofile_edit, BP_XProfile_ProfileData->save
