The problem I have is that not all fields are required when registering. If some members decide not to complete certain field I will get double grey fields or double white fields on the members page – which looks distorted.

How could you correct this? OR How can I remove the Zebra styling completely?

You can find the CSS for the alternate table rows in buddypress/default.css around line 888.

Inspect it with firebug, firebug is your friend when it comes to CSS.

[@pcwriter Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

Yup… I use it every day!

This is a bug.

Check out this ticket for a proposed fix:

Thanks for pointing that out… I hadn’t even noticed that the background of entire xprofile groups was alternating rather than each row.
The patch for bp-default/_inc/global.js works just fine on my install.

I am having problems installing the patches. I do not have the file bp-xprofile-template.php on my server. Although I do have bp-xprofile-templatetags.php?

Whats the easiest way to install these patches?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 13 years, 9 months ago]

@ultimateuser – You only need to install the second patch, not the first.

Ive tried to edit global.js but it still doesnt work. Where can I download the patch and replace my global.js with the working version? Instead of having to editing the code manually?

[@pcwriter Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

@ultimateuser

You can get the entire global.js code here: http://pastebin.com/32r9bK8d

Be sure to make a backup copy of your file before replacing it with this just in case stuff breaks!

[@ultimateuser Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

@pcwriter

Thank you. Ive replaced the global.js file in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/

But it still doesnt work. If you could have a look at this profile: http://www.hollanduktrade.nl/connect/members/nieuws4000/

I removed the text in the telephone field which was between ‘Twitter’ and ‘Address’ and now the zebra styling is incorrect – its a grey block.

What am I doing wrong?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 13 years, 9 months ago]

@ultimateuser – Since you were manually modifying the profile field loop to hide a certain field, you’d also have to apply both patches.

[@ultimateuser Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

@r-a-y – Ok but they are basically the non-required fields members leave blank when registering.

I’d like to apply the second patch as well but then I come back to my initial question:

“I do not have the file bp-xprofile-template.php on my server. Although I do have bp-xprofile-templatetags.php?”

Can you also include a link to the entire amended file I need to use?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 13 years, 9 months ago]

Okay, sorry forgot that the patch was for BP 1.3.

Just open up bp-xprofile-templatetags.php and find lines 197-8 from the first patch and remove them.

You could also override the “alt” CSS class with the “bp_field_css_classes” filter.

[@ultimateuser Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

Great it finally works!

So what I’ve done is: I replaced global.js as mentioned by pcwriter ( http://pastebin.com/32r9bK8d )

and then I removed lines 197-8 as mentioned in patch 1 from bp-xprofile-templatetags.php.

Thanks @r-a-y for your support!
