Found the solution: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-followers/forum/topic/with-bp-followers-the-buttons-overlap-on-the-members-screen-please-help/

Thanks @mercime. Sadly, the RocketTheme theme I’m using has a blank style.css and has a ton of broken up .css files that the gantry framework call. Right now I’ve got 252 .css files so I’ve got no clue what I’m looking for or where to add the horizontal/vertical style.

When i checked in Firebug, I got a huge list that had a ton of css files linked to it. I saw that it called for a generic-button but the only one I found in the css files listed was in bp.css in my Gantry-Buddypress plugin. After adding some horizontal/vertical code, it didn’t do anything to the buttons or how they view on the page.

Ok, I’m either a dope of way too tired. I forgot to activate the plugin. It works well on the member page but in the listing of members/users, the Follow button kind of merges into the “Add Friend: button. Here is a screenshot: http://forcedreality.net/merged.png

What page would I need to edit to add something like a break tag?

[@blinkybill01 Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

Ahh, ok. I’ll give BP Moderation a shot. Thanks Paul and Shawn!

[@blinkybill01 Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

I too am having this problem. I’m using a custom theme from RocketThemes. I looked in the member-header.php file and it has that line of code you listed.

On my member profile pages it only lists “Add Friend” Public Message” & “Private Message.”

[@blinkybill01 Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

Ok, I guess the deactivate/reactivate sort of worked in that it readded the Name field back to the page. The only issue now is that it’s not “aligned” correctly to BuddyPress.

In Profile > Edit when changing your name, it changes the name but not the “nicename”. So a user I have is named Mike with the nicename @alfred.

Dunno what to do about this.

[@blinkybill01 Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

Well, crisis averted, I think.

I deactivated Extended Profiles then reactivated it and the Name (Primary) (Required) reappeared. Just need to check and see if it did any damage to users that edited their profile while the Name feature wasn’t enabled.

[@blinkybill01 Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

Anyone? Please?

[@blinkybill01 Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

Yes, that’s it Chris. I may have jumped ahead and called it a security flaw incorrectly. What I meant was that, if this bug was actually working as intended, it didn’t allow members to change their display name, which could cause people to think that it was a security issue. That people wouldn’t join if their login was visible. Since the WordPress allows a Nickname to be visible and that BuddyPress didn’t, that some could see it as a flaw.

Since it it being fixed, it showed me that it wasn’t intended and that someone else knew of this and was working to fix it.

Thanks for the response

[@blinkybill01 Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

Is there a way it can be hidden by adding /* */ to the php? If so, what file would need to be edited?

I know that it was listed in the upcoming patch notes about a fix to the Extended Profiles name bug, but I’ve put off the launch of my site for far too long and I really need to go live soon. I need to get this set for the launch within the next 2 weeks and I doubt that the patch with the fix will be ready before I go live. This plugin that will allow this is just something temporary that I need to get the site up and running.

If it can be hidden with /* */ in the code, I wouldn’t actually be removing it, just making it not visible/usable. Then once the patch with the fix is ready, I can remove the /* */ to make it usable again.

I just really need to get my site running ASAP.

Thanks and hope you can help.

[@blinkybill01 Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

Chris, if this is going to be fixed in patch 1.6, what patch are we using now? I’m a noob when it comes to finding that info

How often is BP patched?

[@blinkybill01 Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Yeah, as I’m testing the Blog Categories for groups plugin it’s only for blogs within groups and not for groups themselves. This doesn’t allow you to categorize the groups, just the blogs that fall within the groups.

[@blinkybill01 Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

I’ve checked it out and it’s not really what I’m looking for. It only associated WP blog categories with a group. So if I added server “categories” to the blog categories, users would have the ability to associate their groups with any blog category.

What I’m worried will happen is that someone will create a group meant for the “server” blog category and accidentally associate it with the “News” blog category. That would make more work for me to backtrack any groups put into the wrong category then put it into the correct category.

I’ll fiddle around with this one a bit more but there doesn’t seem to be much admin control over what people have the ability to add groups to specific blog categories.

Thanks though

Wow… please disregard the comments I made about BP Group Tags. Apparently I downloaded the wrong plugin thinking it was BP Group Tags. That’s exactly what I was looking for. In addition to your plugin, CJ, I have exactly what I’ve been looking for.

Kudos!

[@blinkybill01 Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Excellent plugin CJ! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

I looked into the BP Group tags, and while it’s good, it’s not exactly what I’m looking for. One BP site I’m working on is a videogame fansite. Each member can create a group based on the game they play. But, like most game, there are other “mini-games” inside the main game.

I was looking for a way to allow people to use a required checkbox with a bunch of options so they can select the type of mini-game their group is about. That way, when someone searches that exact mini-game, they get a listing of all the groups that deal with that type of minigame.

Sadly, with the group tags, it leaves the tags to be placed in the hands of the user. This can lead to people typing in a tag that doesn’t have anything to do with their group, a misspelled tags, etc.

I figured it would be best if there was either a drop down or checkbox selection so that people could choose what category their group best fits into, It would also save time not having to search tags for profanity or inappropriate content.

But I can really see this plugin being able to give more options to the users. Is it possible to add many different types of forms to this plugin (checkbox, dropdown, etc) so that Admins can activate/disable them in the same way URL and Group field is?

Once again, great plugin!

[@blinkybill01 Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Ok, I tested this out and it looks like it’s going in the right direction.

Howeverr, I am also getting the same error that Mikey3D got. Same error about an array on line 9.

Also, the information from the custom fields is not visible on the groups page. The only info showing is the default Group Name and Group Description. None of the restaraunt info (as I’m testing right from your code) is showing up anywhere except in that Groups Admin.
