The Fort St. John Fire Department, along with police and ambulance crews, attended a scene on 93rd Avenue on Friday.

Fire Crews were seen entering the house through a window at the top of the building. The house is located close to the North Peace Secondary School.

Fort St. John Councilor Lori Ackerman says she was called for disaster relief.

Ackerman gets called to events if families need to be relocated due to a disaster. She says family of four, including two kids, will be staying with family.  She says the family will be provided with services like food and clothing.

The avenue infront of the home is currently closed to one lane, and police are directing the flow of traffic. More information will be posted as it becomes available.

BuddyPress Default Blog Theme Issue Solved

May 3, 2009

When a user of BuddyPress created a blog it used the WordPress MU default theme and no BuddyPress user them came with the plug-in. This was no good as the user was left with a stand alone blog not integrated with BuddyPress and no link back. I did some searching and found this solution by Andrea_r:

At at the BuddyPress .org site here.

Make a copy of the home theme and move it somewhere.
rename the folder to something obvious, like bp-blog-theme.
Edit style.css and change the theme name to be Blogs instead of Home.
Delete home.php.

move the new theme back into wp-content/themes/. Activate it under Site Admin -> Themes. Go to a member blog (you have a test blog, right?), under Appearance and activate the new BLOG theme.

Give it a whirl and let me know how you make out. There’s other regular WPMU plugins to enable the theme by default on a new blog. My fave: http://wpmudev.org/project/wpmu-blog-defaults. That way the blog creation part is seamless and looks well-integrated.

I found a way better WordPress default plug-in here it is a neat plug-in that gives a lot of default settings.

The Blog, Home, Members, Groups and Blogs links did not work as it is a modified home theme page. You have to hard code the links in the header.php file.

Welcome To Photo Mark’s Boo Zoo Social Network

May 1, 2009

Yesterday I discovered version 1 of BuddyPress, a WordPress MU (multi user) plugin that takes WordPress another step forward. Hence this brand new site. It produces a social network which, with other plugins that are already being developed something close to Facebook, My Space, etc. Your friends are already on Facebook so this will not replace it, but could be fun and more personal. Join up and lets see how much fun we can have. You can create your own blog, wire posts, groups and I will be adding Flicker, You Tube, and other plugins.
