Just updating. Had been working yesterday. We will have a release of BP-Mag by today evening PST(missed the yesterday's deadline. sorry).
Ah ok, i'll wating for...
thanks
looking forward to it
A couple of more hours and we will have it.
Missed your deadline ?
;-)
Hi,
yeh again :(
Will need a couple of more hours or may be whole day, as BP mag is our second major theme release and I am taking all precautions to meet the standard. Still refactoring css and adding a few admin options. btw, the them ecoming is much more than I saw In the preview post. Please allow me a little more time.
Do you think it will be available on friday? Perfect for me because i could work at my site at the weekend...
Hi,
Well here is the deal. If you want to have this theme, I can provide you today too. I won't be able to release it publicly today too. Though the theme is working fine(I have been working with bp 1.2.7 trunk and everything is updated to current trunk version of Bp), I am not yet satisfied.
For last 2 days, kept refactoring css, then added admin option for wordpress custom menu/bp default menu(top nav), wordpress custom menu/archive+pages(in secondary menu) and put a lot of functions for more flexibility. Every thing is there now. What is left is here:-
1.adding templates for bp-gallery/global forum/youtube plugin/flickr plugin/bp-wire/blogs for group/group blog/eventpress/BP group blog/branded login/Bp Links and a few more components(which I am considering as major components)
2. I have to work a little more on styling the single post/page and comments section.
3. I am trying to put two child theme. One for vertical navigation one for user and another for facebook new profile style.
So, I assume, It will take me at least 8-10 hours of more work to complete this all, but the current version is already usable. In any case Friday will be more than sufficient for everything.
There is one functionality, searching my group/ My friends on profile page, which was dropped in BuddyPress 1.2, I am trying hard to bring them back to the template. If I am not able to put the template today, then will also be part of it.
In case, if any of you feel to have it today, please drop me a message here and I will put the current version here.
Thanks
Brajesh
Yes Brajesh - why not. Give use the Theme and let us try it out....
I really love how so many of us are eagerly anticipating this theme. Brajesh, give yourself an (early) round of applause!
Hi Brajesh, i'm very interested to your deal. Tell me how to get the theme. i'll test and upgrade the theme if a final version is released...
Hi Jody,Frank, Hollosch
Thank you all. I went away yesterday so could not post.
here is the prerelease.
http://buddydev.com/http//buddydev.com/download/bp-mag-pre-release.zip
and here is a link to the basic demo I setup online
http://bpthemes.buddydev.com/bpmag/
After installing the theme and bp-mag addon, please play with the admin settings in Appearance->BP mag Options. both the top menu can be used as drop down menu/wordpress custom menu or as pages/archives menu.
There are many other thing, I am leaving on you guys to figure out :)
Btw, basic instructions:- Use the Home Page main column top Widget Area only for Slideshow(that too if you don't want to have a tile for the slideshow, otherwise do not use).
For adding any other widget, please use Home Page Main Coplumn widget area.
Recent News Widget allows you to have 3 column view on home page. You can configure it from widget options.
You should be able to enable upto 14 widget areas using the theme admin options.
Ok, this is just base and the profile section is just like bp profile. I am still working on some more enhancement on profile/bp sections overall. Please make sure to check the things for yourself now.
Thanks
Brajesh
I just looked at your demo site of the theme, it looks incredible! :) Perfect for so many types of sites! I cant wait to get home and try this out. Great work Brajesh! :)
Hi Brajesh,
can you create a forum for the BP-Mag in the customer area, because i think it make sense to post our "bugs", wishes, ideas, etc. in seperate threads?
thanks
hollosch
@Shane,
Thanks. My Main goal was extendability and now working on looks and usability. I have 2-3 child themes coming soon to saw a few things which we can do with it. The main theme is not yet complete, but yes, I hope to complete it in next couple of days.
@hollosch
Thanks for the suggestion. Just did that.
Does "bp-mag-widgets.php" need to be moved somewhere, in order to get the bp-mag addon pack to work?
Brajesh, I created a new discussion in the BP-Mag forum. I have several questions / comments over there, including one thing I haven't gotten to work right yet.
Overall, awesome theme.
Any news on bp-mag? It looks like a lot of potential and I am excited to get a better version for testing more thoroughly.
Hi Roy,
Thanks for the post. I have tried to keep it simple while including the functionality/extendability as much as possible :)
Actually I was working on bp-gallery update for last 2 days. I had to update the media player and change many codes so, It took a little longer to push updates about bp-mag. going to put an update of gallery today and then will work on bp-mag. I have many more things to do on bp-mag before making it stable.
let us hope for the best.
No problem. Thanks for the updates.
I'm fairly certain were all ready to chain you to a desk, lock you in your room and tell all of your friends you can't come out and play until BuddyMag is done.
Sure, you might have other plans and prefer to have a life, but we're all a demanding bunch here, B. It's all about us.
:-)
Hmmm . . . .
@Jody
hahaha, you would not need to do that. I will be working on it from tonight onwards again:)
@brajesh - did you get the update to bp-gallery? Where is it?
ahh, after your comment, I was just uploading but noticed that last night, the version 2.0 of media element player was out.So updating with version 2.0, should not take more than an hour in testing etc. Will be posting on a new thread.
Can you put an identifier in the text for a sidebar when it does not contain any widgets so I know what sidebar to add widgets to?
Should say, "Please log in and add widgets to the Site sidebar section. Add Widgets", etc.
Do you understand?
Hi Roy,
yes, updating the trunk. That is a nice thing to do.
You must log in to post.
