Hey Henry…
unfortunately it doesnt work 🙁

[carmeetsroad]

Thanks for the reply

So.. would twenty fourteen be considered a well coded wordpress theme?

[carmeetsroad]

*follow up*

– does this mean that the default theme now for BP is twenty-fourteen ?
– I wonder if plugins that for BP will work as well as it does for BP-Default?
– Should we start making BP childthemes for Twenty-Fourteen ?

[carmeetsroad]

*commentary*

— That should just be a check mark or something.. i was surprised when I upgraded WP/BP then to see that its no longer an option..

— I try to keep everything in my install as “default” as possible and try do everything via a plugin.. and the notion of needing to create a bp-custom.php file seems counter to that.. (just sayin)

[carmeetsroad]

Found PART of the answer… Im using this plugin
https://github.com/sbrajesh/bp-signup-avatar

it asks the user to upload the avatar right after the sign up

Any buddypress wizards know how I can make the thumbnail of the activity stream bigger without making it distored?

[carmeetsroad]

@applegateian Oh boy! that would be a great plugin

[carmeetsroad]

Hey Guys..

Any ideas on how to make the THumbnails bigger without freaking out the scale?

[carmeetsroad]

any recommendations?

[carmeetsroad]

Thanks @shanebp ! – That works! (sorta) experimenting with it.. 🙂

— The bad thing I did was shoe horn that code on to bp-blogs/bp-blogs-functions.php

*Im trying to figure out how to easily just pop in get_the_category_list and get_the_tag_list in the “entry.php” – of my template.

— Anyone know, point me to the right direction or code snippet to get to that?

Cheers,

[carmeetsroad]

@shanebp — Tried the sample code:

<?php
echo get_the_tag_list('<p>Tags: ',', ','</p>');
?>

But It fails to appear on the activity stream… DONT I HAVE TO create a function for it in the activity-loop or functions.php or something.. so it “Records” that.. similarly to how it does Username “wrote a new post” this in BlogNAME, BlogTitle

(sorry.. im totally clueless) any guidance would be appreciated

[carmeetsroad]

It only shows you the Title of the Post and Which blog it was posted in.. not the TAG or Category associated with it..

:/

[carmeetsroad]

Any Ideas? Anyone?

[carmeetsroad]

Any Help..
…Pretty Please?

[carmeetsroad]

Hey there @yuttadhammo

can I brand it so that it has my sites logo, etc?

can I hardcode the url? -I think this feature disappeared

[carmeetsroad]

I asked if I can use the theme for other blogs.. in my network.. and everyone said it should work fine…

for example: http://carmeetsroad.com/top100 (BP-default works fine)
but doesnt work properly at http://carmeetsroad.com/porsche

[carmeetsroad]

Any Ideas anyone?

I have a standard BP, WP (current release) install and when I change the banner — its no longer clicable to return home…

thoughts?

[carmeetsroad]

First.. let me say.. I highly appreciate everyones efforts..

— A paid plugin doesnt guarantee non-breakage…

putting aside the conversation of “hey its free stop complaining” — there should be more efforts like “CBOX” and/or a better ranking system that addresses:

1) Does this plugin work well
2) What are the best plugins that work to do xyz..
3) A better response to forum questions/inquiry..

again.. I highly respect everyone here.. @modemlooper is a kick ass developer and wish i can afford his services…

— But I do think theres gotta be a recognition that… BP & the BP Plugin forums support can use improvement..

[carmeetsroad]

P.S.

So what if this question has been done to death.. its obvious that theres a lack of clarity if the questions been asked over and over again, because one can only assume that a satisfactory answer has not been achieved. I suppose this question and a ton of similar questions can be solved or addressed by having a “wiki” or easily searchable FAQ or Best Practice Blog or.. whatever.. — Ive been using BP for several years (on many of my sites) now as non-technical administrator and Im constantly frustrated.. but anyhoo.. just my 2cents..

[carmeetsroad]

@joesell89 @bphelp Thanks Guys… yup.. it seems to be working.. I just dont want any “unintended consequences”, build out that sub_blog only to revert back. BUT, so far, everything looks cool. forums, member-group-forum search seems to all be working fine…

[carmeetsroad]

@djpaul Thanks! That worked like a charm.. I promise.. i didnt cross post it on this forum. 🙂 — Ok.. so from now.. i promise to ask Welcome Pack questions on WordPress.org — and not here 🙂 Thanks Again!

[carmeetsroad]

Did I put this in the wrong forum?

[carmeetsroad]

Too Pricy for me! 😀

[carmeetsroad]

Any Ideas?
