    Look in your theme files and remove the reference to it. In a child theme it’s probably somewhere in the activity folder.

  • @modemlooper I had a need for buttons like this for another area of my website. The javascript was the key element I was missing. Thanks!

    I hadn’t been able to test it completely, but I believe I’d been setting it to Daily Digest and it wasn’t applying to everyone either. I just hadn’t had time to completely test it, so I hadn’t mentioned it yet. I’ll try and test more later.

    Very cool. I’m traveling right now. When I get back I’ll add you to my skype (although, I don’t get on there that much). Mine is crashutah if you want to add me.

      It is indeed a social network for people with Cystic Fibrosis! I have CF myself and for the last year or so I’ve worked on getting this project of the ground. If you’re familiar with CF you might know the segregation rules which make it almost impossible for people with CF to meet each other in real life. Before I started with this I’ve been working on several other projects as community manager and I thought it was about time to do use that experience to set up something which was actually meaningful :)

      Really cool to read you have a 56 year old friend with CF, that’s awesome! I can’t complain myself health wise, so I hope I’ll make it so far :D .

      Currently I’m in the final stages of the project, got official support from the Dutch CF association and made a lot of cool custom stuff specific to CF! My only ”problem” is finding a way to gain some income to keep the site running and evolving, and a way to actually help other CF related Initiatives!

      I would gladly talk with you in more detail about this, because your system looks awesome! You can add me on skype (name: hetismijbowe) or email me on bowe(at)cfcommunity(dot)net.

      Cheers,
      Bowe

      ps: I’ve heard a lot about the singing girls in AGT. Haven’t seen them myself but it’s a great way to raise awareness for CF!

    @bowromir I’ve built a bunch of custom elements to track the payments. It’s really one of the keys to the product. I track who contributed, which organization they contributed to and which person referred them to the site to contribute. Plus, I created the tools (with more on the way) for them to send out links [...]

    Thanks mercime. I love frisbee, so it was fun to get some cool shots. I don’t think it’s so much about what BrainTree has that others don’t, but I did find it really easy to implement. I evaluated a half dozen other options and they all were harder and some felt pretty shady. I certainly [...]

    @crashutah – Congratulations and good luck with your ventures. btw, that’s a cool action shot with the frisbee. Question, what has BrainTree got that others don’t? :-)
    Cheers.

  • @crashutah – That’s right. But chances are that most of your modifications will only take place in a handful of template files, so it’s still way better than having to migrate changes over to a wholesale copy of bp-default. To give you a frame of reference, even a fairly heavily themed version of BP 1.2.x like [...]

    I’d watch that. Is that like the “Will it blend” session they’re having at WordCamp Utah?

    # 1 week, 5 days ago
  • @crashutah – that all depends how much you’ve specialised your child theme away from the default. It also depends if there are new features you want to take advantage of – in which case dig around and see how they are being used in the default, and ’steal / adapt’ as necessary. Remember for the most [...]
