@socialbandit SVN or beta zip is the same procedure. With incremental updates from SVN I know what files were modified. I can’t keep track of them individually. That’d be a nightmare. SVN updates come through files from here, files from there. All over the place. When I’m ready to update I do the whole shebang.
I don’t know how others do it.
No deactivation is needed. I’m usually up at 3am so I do it then.
That probably doesn’t make a diff though. It’s not 3am in Moscow.css changes on updates? I’m not sure what you mean by that.
Oh, I misunderstood what you were looking for. Happens to me at 5am.
It’s still not a good idea to mod the bp core. You can still accomplish what you want with a filter. That way you don’t have to keep track of your mod and worrying about an svn update or moving from one release to the next.
You could use the same method outlined above but replace the strtolower() with lcfirst() to take it back to normal.
Up to you.
I wouldn’t mod a function, I’d add a filter. Hang on while I look for the filter name. (brb)
OK, what I think you’ve done is change the ‘Full Name’ profile field and called it ‘nickname’ in the BuddyPress settings area right?
So, in bp_fetch_user_fullname() it sets up a filter for us:
apply_filters( 'bp_fetch_user_fullname', stripslashes( trim( $data ) )You’d need to create a function something like:
function my_nickname_filter($name) {
return strtolower($name);
}And register the filter with:
add_filter('bp_fetch_user_fullname', 'my_nickname_filter')Hopefully bp uses the bp_fetch_user_full_name() fn everywhere. Can’t see much reason to create it if it didn’t.
I see these hooks all over the place. Andy has done gone filter happy.
What a wildly useful and wonderful thing is buddypress.
It’s just occurred to me that I could setup a support forum on my site for the Community Blogs plugin. Then it occurred to me that I could setup a bp group for that purpose and have all the benefits that buddypress and groups provide. (duh) (been buried with my head in code way too long)
Then it occurred to me that I need a blog for this too. I can move all my personal blog junk, which is just code I’ve created and modified, over to this new Group Blog.
Now I need to hook the new group blog up to my new support group. I can’t do that right now but I will be able to. Be back in a few days…
Well, we got a couple of options here.
1) hack the theme and git rid of the content div in the header.php. That means changing all existing templates that rely on that content div being gen’ed before it gets to them
2) hack the directories and all other code that just assumes that they are responsible for gen’ing their own content divs and leave the theme header.php alone
3) get a different theme
Yep. Thanks for the tip. This is goofy though. We gotta get Andy to solve the 404 problem. I shouldn’t have to create a dummy page and have to deal with that as well as the 404 problem. Some themes are hardcoded to display the pages that exist. What if I don’t want to have any pages? (I don’t)
Is there a ticket for this?
(he asks too lazy to go look)
@liljohn I’m not certain what you mean by creating custom page templates.
Wow. Now I see what you are saying wardeh. I created a page with the same slug as the members directory and the 404s go away. Lovely. Thanks! Now I have to see how that broke the css.
