bump?

[kateM82]

Started from scratch, all works a treat now. Thanks for all your help!

[kateM82]

I guess that’s what happens when you just make it up as you go along.

@modemlooper

Thanks so much for your help, that is a little weird.

I have pasted the entire archive file again, here is the link – http://pastebin.com/z4H2mEKQ

I can’t see a second loop though?

@Savannah,

Hi,
I realise that it’s not a buddypress functional problem, but as it’s a buddypress theme the wordpress forum won’t help so that’s why I am hoping to get some help here. I am really not a programmer, and have been trying to fix this last little thing for nearly a day now so was just hoping for some second eyes.

Thanks for picking up on the open div, I closed that and now the custom-post-meta div is showing. Yay!

I still can’t get the sidebar aligned though.

Here’s the archive.php if anyone feels like some light reading I’d really appreciate it.

Ah ok, sorry, I probably missed a post there!

[kateM82]

@Paunthanh did you figure it out, I want to do the same thing?

[kateM82]

@justbishop. I got it working

Here is what I did in BP-newb terms:

Created a blank php doc in the wp-content/plugins folder named bp-custom.php

(You need to set up this blank doc with this: http://pastebin.com/GM269f2H)

Between that paste :
http://pastebin.com/Ct0HZV00

Then in the single.php of your these paste the following where you want the favourites to show

http://pastebin.com/3Pa7WUAV

Then just copy over the CSS from the normal favourites button and you should be good to go, I hope…

PS – you can view it on my site here – http://members.dropdeadgorgeousdaily.com

haven’t tried adding it to other sites on the MU install, fingers crossed that works too!

[kateM82]

Ah of course, sorry! I am using citizen Kane theme (although thinking of swapping to another that already has wp3.0 drop down menu styling built in).

Here is the link, thanks Andrea!

@danhay @justbishop

Any updates on the number of favourties count code from earlier, I cant get it working either, and it looks like it needs a few extra bits and pieces.

This is what @danhay originally posted:

= ( $fav = bp_activity_get_meta( $activity_id, ‘favorite_count’ ) ) ? $fav : 0

[kateM82]

Andrea you are a life saver, that worked perfectly and only took 2 seconds to do! Thank you & Merry Christmas !

[kateM82]

Anyone??

[kateM82]

Bump! Would love to get this sorted ASAP just need a wee bit of help, thanks

[kateM82]

Here is an example of ‘ugly’ page (i have hidden this link so it’s not accessible) http://dropdeadgorgeousdaily.com/activity

[kateM82]

**bump***

[kateM82]

Of course.. ok, done the quick fix for now.

Although what I really want to do is switch the default name shown – ie on comments, when posting etc.. to be the nickname – not the Fullname/Name field.

How do I do that?

[kateM82]

Or I at least need to be able to rename the field to just first name?? *bump**

[kateM82]

I’ve found the DOB, we did add that in and have now removed it from the buddypress profile field set up admin, but it’s the fullname (which we can’t remove from the admin) that we really need to fix.

[kateM82]

Hi, the admin bar is showing now (my fault i had the plugin that hid it still enabled from last time) the permalink structures is – month & name – ie
http://dropdeadgorgeousdaily.com/2010/08/sample-post/

thanks again

[kateM82]

here’s and example of a BP page link that doesn’t work – http://dropdeadgorgeousdaily.com/members/admin/profile/edit/

[kateM82]

i can’t change the theme to bp-default theme, it has to be able to be integrated into my live site.

the permalink structure does get changed with the change to wp3.0, can you let me know what it needs to be to work?
thanks
