BuddyPress.org

Hello I am very new to Buddy press but have played around with WordPress for a few months now
I have to set up a blog for a new and up coming band who already have a lot of followers on twitter, fb ect…. So i am going to set them up a blog, will buddy press be the best thing for this you think?
The main things i want is a home page which displays latest blog they have posted, then a page about each member 3 of them with blog feeds, and maybe integration with twitter.
and then an “about us” and “Events” Page. Also future plans will be a forum, shout box and also chat rooms so they can talk to the band. I want people to be able to regester so they can recive updates and also post comments on blogs not on there pages.
Is there a place i need to start?
Thanks

Hi,

I know it has been done to death, but I’m going around in circles and cannot find a solution.

BuddyPress v 1.2.6
s2member v 3.2.9
Wordpress v 3.0.1

Problem:
Upon creating membership, members cannot crop their uploaded avatar. The facility just is not there.

Solution:
I have been searching for several days for a solution to this problem. None of the options that I have seen (and tried) have worked, and many are completely irrelevant to my WP install (for example, there is no “Miscellaneous” in settings).

Having searched for a while, it seems there are plenty of people having this problem, and that it has been going on for several months. This is a pretty basic function that I would have thought would have had more emphasis. Why is it so hard to find a fix for this?

I’m not a coder, but I have tried to rectify this using all the code alterations offered (ones where the locations of the files to edit have actually been identified and not just assumed to be obvious to someone like me!)
Nothing is working.

Please don’t link to other threads stating the same problem. I have been going around in circles on this following every link available already.

I really want to get this fixed, but I just can’t find any solution to it. For such a fundamental and common problem I would have thought a proper fix would have been released, considering this has been going on for months.

Please, I’m begging you, if there is a solution to this that actually works with the versions stated above, I’d really, really, really love to see it.

Thanks in advance for any help!

In the trunk version of BuddyPress (what will become BP 1.3), I’ve changed the default theme to support the custom menus that were introduced in WordPress 3.0. What this means is that the default theme now supports nested menu items, in the same way that twentyten does (hover dropdowns).

It looks like something this (Activity is nested under Groups):

You will note, however, that the styling is horrible. I’d love it if one of the community here who design themes is able to dive in and produce a patch (or just an updated CSS file). Restrictions: no javascript. You can find the CSS that I mostly copied-and-pasted from twentyten at the very bottom of http://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css
