And…
Both atahualpa and BuddyPress have revved to 3.4.6 and 1.2.1 since this first post.
Is there any new info available for this mix, particularly in the WP 2.9.x environment?
You have to adapt the theme to work with BP. And last I looked at the theme, it was a nightmare to work with.
(tables? really?)
I have BuddyPress 1.2.1 activated with Atahualpa 3.4.2 here: http://catswebweave.com – wish I could edit the CSS to give the BuddyPress pages a light background, though. Any clues on how to do this?
I was able to get it up and running also.
The one thing I noticed was that it doesn’t register the ATA sidebars right away.
You need change the “get header” blurb at the top of each of the files listed in Step 3 of the BuddyPress Template pack with the ATA “get header” blurb.
1. go into your ATA index.php file
2. copy the “get header” blurb from there. It’s got a whole bunch of TEMPLATEPATH and bfa_blah blah stuff in it. Just copy everything from <? php ……………to …………. ?>.
3. Then swap out the <?php………get……….header ?> blurb in those BP files.
Swap the BP get header blurb
<?php get_header(); ?>
for the ATA get header blurb
<?php /* get all options: */
include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/functions/bfa_get_options.php');
get_header(); ?>

Shows the integration isn’t fully complete. You have to edit the html in the BP template files that are added to the theme.
How can you change the font and background of the BP Top bar on top of Atahualpa? On my site (www.thegrotonline.com), the reversed out font fades out so much you can’t see it…

Update: I have abandoned BuddyPress entirely for now. Too many problems.
I have a blog corrected all the problems with atahualpa and BuddyPress

I am trying to get Atahualpa 3.6.4 to work with BP 1.2.8 on WP 3.1.2. Sorted everything with the Template Pack. It all looks great in FF, Safari, Chrome etc but the dropdown menus (both the new WP menus and the old standard) just dont work properly in IE6 or IE7. Something interferes with the BFA hacks to make IE work as if it were a proper browser. Can anyone help please?
