What files are needed in a custom BuddyPress Home theme?

    plugin-sidebar.php

    plugin-template.php

    register.php

    activate.php

    Great! Thanks Andy! You’ve done some amazing work with BP.

    Hey Andy…I just noticed when I add register.php to my custom theme, the menu-bar’s “Sign Up” link takes the user to domain.com/register, instead of domain.com/wp-signup.php. When I click the “Sign Up” link, it just redirects to the WP-Login screen.

    How can I fix this? Are there some “extra” modifications I’ll need to make to register.php and activate.php to get them functioning?

    Thanks again for the help

    When you use the register.php file – /wp-signup.php is no longer used. You should change any links to /register

    Of course if you don’t want this functionality just don’t put register.php in your theme. The only problem with wp-signup.php is that it’s not easy to customize.

    That makes sense, but my issue isn’t that my links are wrong…it’s that when I add register.php to my custom theme, the Sign Up link takes me to “http://domain.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://domain.com/register” instead of just “http://domain.com/register .” All my links point to the /register screen, but it just redirects to the standard WP login screen instead of the register page.

    Make sure you are starting your customization with the latest trunk brad85. I don’t know what ver of bp’s home theme you are customizing. In the latest trunk there are two functions that control what goes on in the login/signup buttons. The bp home theme header.php file calls <?php bp_login_bar() ?>. In that fn it calls bp_signup_page() which you see below:

    function bp_has_custom_signup_page() {

    if ( file_exists( WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/themes/’ . get_blog_option( 1, ‘template’) . ‘/register.php’) )

    return true;

    return false;

    }

    function bp_signup_page( $echo = true ) {

    global $bp;

    if ( bp_has_custom_signup_page() ) {

    if ( $echo )

    echo $bp->root_domain . ‘/’ . REGISTER_SLUG;

    else

    return $bp->root_domain . ‘/’ . REGISTER_SLUG;

    } else {

    if ( $echo )

    echo $bp->root_domain . ‘/wp-signup.php’;

    else

    return $bp->root_domain . ‘/wp-signup.php’;

    }

    }

    Unless you don’t have the register.php file in /themes/<your theme>, or you’ve somehow altered the header calling sequence so this code doesn’t run, then it should work fine. The signup button should not have anything to do with wp-login.php

    I can tell you exactly what this is…

    You are missing the information from the functions.php file in the latest trunk of buddypress-home. You are most likely using a functions.php from your own custom theme, which creates the redirect above.

    Without that data the registration and activation won’t work.

    my sign up page is not showing. I would like to find out from Andy if I would be able to route to register.php. does it mean the user would be sign up for wpmu too.

    so how to configure for my page? thanks
