BuddyPress.org

It’s that exact .jpg above as to why I even got interested in buddypress in the first place. It looked very similar to another program I use, only cleaner.

Needless to say I was more than a little dismayed to find out it is not included in buddypress. I sure wish I knew what happened to that file as I would have loved to use it for my ‘basic’ members. I could then provide ‘real’ themes for premium members.

Another nice aspect to that layout is it’s hard to mess up or not understand for a newbie wordpress user.

Add me to the list of those that really wish it would be released, especially since that theme is now depreciated compared to the new theme on this site.

I only want real full names in my site. I want to eliminate the anonymous \”username\” as much as possible.

This excellent plugin makes it possible to login with just email address and password, but you still get that stupid username in activation emails etc. At the moment I\’m struggling to find out how to replace it.

Just my 2 cents. Please don’t make Buddypress entirely username centric. They’re childish…

I guess I need the exact opposite. I only want full real names in the site, if possible entered as seperate first name + last name at sign-up.

I just reinstallend WordPress MU+Buddypress and now when I sign up test users, only the user_login gets copied to the display_name field in wp_users.

How can I force it to put the real full name in display_name?

and @apeatling of https://apeatling.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/blog.jpg

is there a downloadable way to do what you guys have done and make it the default for user blogs (no user set up required, just automatic)?

Can you guys make your user templates available to the BuddyPress community?

Best,

You see. What I want to do tho is keep my wordpress blog intact. With that theme that it has right now and what not. And to have, as another “website” yet integrated with my wordpress blog, my socialnetwork section. So with the buddypress thing, I can have my other kind of theme, yet if people use their accounts from buddypress to comment on my original wordpress blog, it will still be connected..they will still be able to see it on their activity.

Is there any way tho, that I dont know if it will help with what he is asking but, to use a wordpress MU and Buddypress….aka set up buddypress on a different directory…and still be able to integrate it with the normal wordpress? What I mean is…SO that when people use their budypress accoutns, they can comment on a post from the normal wordpress and it will appear in their activity?

It is possible, to integrate bbPress + WordPress (MU), i did it my self already

And take a look @ Burtadsit .. You still need WPMU for right now, to run BuddyPress …

Alright I tried to fix it but I couldnt….Anyway, the skeleton thing is not working, I try to go to it and it just doesnt show the complete template…Do i have to add both files? Or with one is it good enough? check out what I mean:

visit wpmu site and google. All the answers are there.

simply use wpmu…

If I was going to use WordPress and bbPress as past examples, no, and don’t bet that it will be anytime soon.

Someone may make a replica, but usually the *Press public themes aren’t available for public use.

That is an old url, due to WordPress naming policies he had to change his domain name, the correct link should now be:

http://bp-dev.org/groups/chat-plug-in

Looks like there was no progress made.

For my site I have just inserted a simple java client for freenode IRC. This allows site members to either use the chat online or with their favorite irc client.

Version 1.1. should appear shortly on https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/. In addition to working with the latest BuddyPress, it also lets you specify more than one person/group as the default friends/groups.

The only way to do this, is with “deep integration.”

You will want to scour the bbpress.org forums for some more information about how to do this.

I’m going to assist Trent in including deep integration as part of his revised integration write-up that’s coming next. BuddyPress.org uses deep integration, but it’s still tricky and still has pro’s and con’s, particularly on a shared host and also with xmlrpc requests.

By the time that bbpress turns 1.0, most of the integration issues should be resolved, but you’re still loading ALL of WordPress + bbPress to make things go.

As i didnt like the orange colors in BuddyPress, i did a slightly little make over …

And yes .. I did integrate bbPress in the current theme with a few minor steps

I have been using calendar on my regular wordpress site for some time now and I love it.

It seems to be a great candidate for buddypress if the author allows it.

I love how easy it is to customize just about everything in the calendar from the way it looks to how events appear etc.. very simple

Thankfully for us both, this isn’t a debate.

For various reasons related to our WordPress trademark, we ask if you’re going to start a site about WordPress or related to it that you not use “WordPress” in the domain name. Try using “wp” instead, or another variation. We’re not lawyers, but very good ones tell us we have to do this to preserve our trademark. Also many users have told us they find it confusing.

If you already have a domain with “WordPress” in it, redirecting it to the “wp” equivalent is fine, just as long as the main one users see and you promote doesn’t contain “WordPress.”

“WordPress” in sub-domains is fine, like wordpress.example.com, we’re just concerned about top-level domains.

We’ve told this to anyone who has ever asked us, we just wanted to make it public so more people could be aware of this policy.

I applaud your efforts, and hope your intention is at least to make the theme available publically.

I’m keeping this topic open for now, but it’s on my watch list because it’s already breaking some rules. If it gets too rowdy in here I’m locking it up.

May want to read this…

Same goes with WordPress as well.

In response, good job modifying the theme colors. In my opinion the forums could still use some work (margins on the sides need 20px), and the missing BuddyBar at the top urks me.
