This thread is an attempt to note the differences between the new BP.org theme and the default BP theme.

1) Post form available on displayed user’s profile
-This eliminates the concerns of those who miss the functionality of the wire from BP 1.1.
-eg. http://buddypress.org/community/members/r-a-y/ (Post something to r-a-y)

2) Group meta to distinguish different groups
– There are three group types on BP.org – Plugin Group, Support Group (for the old forums) and User Created Group (eg. http://buddypress.org/community/groups/)
– BP.org also uses an internal rate / review plugin for plugin groups only (eg. http://buddypress.org/community/groups/welcome-pack/reviews/)

3) Sitewide search
– Sitewide search is now available; uses custom loops and checks the “f” variable. eg. http://buddypress.org/search/?f=buddypress

These are all great new features! I’ll hope “global search” and “Post something to xxx” will also make it in the defaut theme, so that theme developers could adapt it!

I noticed “add friend” was replaced by “follow.” Profile details seem private. And, I like the permalink button in the activity streams.

Can some elightened soul explain to us simple mortals how can we achieve sitewide search and group meta ? In plain english would be even better…

“Post something to xxx”
This actually should be described more clearly. It is ambiguous whether you are posting something to them privately or publicly (until you try it out).

I noticed “add friend” was replaced by “follow.”
Andy Peatling addressed this somewhere on testbp.org. The upshot is that “follow” is an additional module, not a replacement for “friend” (though you are right, on this site, friending is now disabled in favor of following, which I like a lot).
