Hi, since a lot of people are asking this question i decided to share what I did.
1.- Install BuddyPress
2.- Install BuddyPress Template pack
3.- Follow the instructions untill step 3 of the template pack
4.- Create header, sidebar and footer templates:
how?
Fist lets open header.php, footer.php and index.php, create a copy of the header file with the name header-buddypress.php.
Open de index.php file and copy the code between
<?php get_header(); ?>
and
<?php if(have_posts()) {
and paste it at the end of the header-buddypress.php file.
next create a copy of the footer file and name it footer-buddypress.php go to the index.php copy code between
?>
and
<?php get_footer(); ?>
and paste it at the begining of the footer-buddypress.php file.
Next create a new file named sidebar-buddypress.php and write the folowing line in it:
<div class="cleared"></div>
save the files and upload them to /wp-content/themes/YOUR-THEME
and that's it
If you are lucky every thing will look ok, if not you will see that the buddypress pages get overlaped with your sidebar, you will need to add styles to your style.css file, in mi case every thing looks ok if I add these code to the end of the syle.css file:
.padder
{
width: 100% !important;
margin: 22px 0px 0px 20px;
}
you will probably have to change or add some css code to this to make it just like you want it, for that you can find help here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_boxmodel.asp
One Problem
The Favorite button on activity doesn't work, it goes to an unknown page, 404 error, I don't know how to fix it, if you know how please help, probably has something to do with ajax or the css of the artisteer buttons...
Hope this helps.

You are so awesome! Been trying to figure this out since Monday.
Thanks so much. If you found the solution to the favorite button, please share too.

SIgh... I thought from the title of this thread that Artisteer were announcing that they are now supporting the creation of BuddyPress and bbPress page templates -- that would be a logical solution to the BuddyPress problem and would add value to the WordPress version of Artisteer.
But no, it appears that one had to do the same kludgey things as with any other theme.

Thank you for this post! I tried going the other route (editing the acitivty.php) pages, and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get it look better. I'll try this way, hopefully it works for me.

I'm having the same problems with this route as the other. How can I get my activity to be inside of my normal content blocks?

Quote Kaine Muse-2:
If you look at the structure of the activity.php file you will notice a code line like this: sidebar('buddypress'); this means that the file is calling for a sidebar called buddypress and since it didn't find any it will deploy the default sidebar with no style attached to it, if you insist on changing every file you are goning to have to comment out that line.
For the activity to be inside your content you need to add css styles to that, just copy these lines to the bottom of your syle.css file:
.padder
{
width: 70% !important;
margin: 22px 0px 0px 20px;
background-color: white;
}
play with these until you get what you want, you can add background color, or a fixed width like 650px it is not that hard, you may want to use the firebug plugin for firefox to test easily.
The first time I was doing this I tried your aproach of changing every file independently but it is a lot of work, and you have to change other files that are not included on the list of the buddypress template pack plugin, so just follow the instructions above and I guarantee you will save a lot of time and effort, you just need to be creative with the css and that is all.
good luck!

Hi Justin T, thank you for the kind offer, I have however figured out how to and managed to import all data from Joomla and Jomsocial into wordpress.
I couldnt find any solution to the Jomsocial database problem so had to come up with my own solution which luckily worked. (Im going to write a tutorial on that in the next few weeks)
I have installed Buddypress and Im going to develop the entire site around the buddypress installation itself.
Im going to tackle the design side of things over the next few days and sure its going to be a major challenge to incorporate with Artisteer.
The site will be completed by next week Monday /Tuesday hopefully, will then post a link here.

@ miguel, thank you for this post, I've never worked with Buddypress before and your post helped me a great deal.
I converted a Joomla site to Wordpress and installed buddypress, imported the Jomsocial members and database and integrated that into buddypress.
Here is the link: http://www.aworship.com
So artisteer and buddypress can definitely play nice together!

Hi Jenny
Thanks for the tips!
I feel like I may have missed something? As now in the buddyPress pages, the menu appears twice, once up top, and second time half way down in the main area of the page.
Can't quite work out where I should check to make sure the menu bar isn't doubling up!

Hi, Igor,

Open de index.php file and copy the code between

and paste it at the end of the header-buddypress.php file.
Sounds like you're including, "<?php get_header(); ?>" and "<?php if(have_posts()) {" in your copy and paste.
Only use the code that's between those two line - but don't include those two lines.

Hi,
Firstly a big thanks to miguel - this is exactly what I needed and has helped me a lot!
Does anyone know how I can easily make all of the BuddyPress buttons look like the ones generated by Artisteer? I don't mind messing around with code but I couldn't find anything to do with buttons in the bp.css file...
Thanks in advance

Great HowTo and Thread.
I'm having one problem. On my activity stream only one of the sidebars are showing up. Sidebar1 I believe. Is anyone else having this issue?

<?php echo implode(' | ', $icons); ?>
<!-- Here is line 79 -->
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<div class="cleared"></div>
</div>
</div>

I'm doing something wrong.
I followed the directions carefully, and (I believe) to the letter, but there is no change in my site. (Except that the toolbar on the live site is very small and organized completely differently.

well this is not true nick....i created my theme with artisteer 4 and installed buddypress and it pushes all my sidebar widgets underneath my buddypress installation...i then install the buddypress template pack and it says success and moves all file...and i view my site and they are still underneath buddypress and buddypress menus are longer than my page width.
