BuddyPress

Hiya! I filed a trac ticket for this already, but it;d be nice to get some feedback.

IF you are running Wordpress 3.0 (network enabled or otherwise, shouldn’t matter) and you woudl like to test the TwentyTen child theme for BuddyPress, download is here:

You must be running 3.0.
you must have the twentyten theme.

If I forget this thread is here, holler at me on twitter. Same username.

I have successfully upgraded to 3.0, I´m running BP 1.2.4.1. And I have the basic twenty ten theme installed. However the bp functions are not working, its not listing “activity”, “members” etc in the menu. Instead the items are stacking at the bottom of my page. Am I missing something? =)

I’ll give it another go hopefully over the weekend.

Ok, then I will just wait. Thanks for the reply

I’m owrking on this again tonight and have hit the headdesk part.

Brand new install, 3.0, network enabled. I added the BP template pack plugin and set it up on the default theme with the latest version of BP. Looks flawless, no child theme needed.

Local install: was mu, upgraded to 3.0. upgraded BP & the template pack plugin. Set it up on a secondary blog on the site.

It borked.

Reselected the theme, that was better. At least the admin bar was in the right spot. Now all it will show is the Members page when I click any link. *sigh*.

so! Anyone desperately waiting, please try the BP template pack plugin first. If it works for you, AWESOME. If not, hang on.

@andrea_r

Are you saying if I start with new install of everything, it should work with the BP template pack plugin?

I just fixed this last night. Go redownload it and try it. Install it in the theme folder and it should be fine.

@Andrea_r: I have some avatars visualization problems, like these:

How could I solve them?

Yeah, that’s a styling issue I’ll have to fix.

Add this to the stylesheet:

ul.item-list li {
clear:both;
}

Thanks a lot. Now it works perfectly.

Let me know how it works Buddypress… I have a WP 3.0 Multiuser install with Buddypress 1.2.5 and I wish to have a network like Wordpress.com. I need a common admin bar for all the network sites, so the users coming from the other sites can access to the network services (groups, forums, activity, pm, etc..) of the main site. So I need a unique template for all the sites. To do that, I cannot use the BP-Twentyten template but I converted the Twentyten template, using the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin. So now I have a template I can use on Buddypress based main site and also on the slave sites. The only problem is that this new template needs the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin to work. Actually I’m working on a test install, I need for the production install a common template independent from the plugin, but I have no coding skills to make it working. Can you help me?

You didn’t need to do all that work if all you really wanted was the admin bar on all sites across the network. the user blogs do no need a buddypress theme. the admin bar should show across all sites anyway.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me in the way you suggest. The admin bar didn’t show if I use the normal Twentyten theme for slave sites.

@marcogiustini – That’s strange – what themes are you using on the secondary sites? As long as the themes contain do_action( 'wp_footer' ), the admin bar should show up on them.

You mean that the secondary sites’ themes must contain do_action( ‘wp_footer’) ? Where?
