Socialpreneur: Ok thanks.
Would I have to edit the header.php for both the home and bpmember theme? So I would add the same code to both files?
<div id="header">
<h1 id="logo"><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php bp_site_name() ?></a></h1>
<ul id="nav">
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( 'home' ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php bp_home_blog_url() ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
<?php if ( function_exists( 'groups_install' ) ) { ?>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_GROUPS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ( function_exists( 'bp_blogs_install' ) ) { ?>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_BLOGS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_BLOGS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Blogs', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Blogs', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>
<?php do_action( 'bp_nav_items' ); ?>
</ul>
</div>If I wanted to add another menu-link would I have to add something like this to both header.php files? Saying the new page was called ‘pagename’:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'bp_pagename_install' ) ) { ?>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_PAGENAME_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_PAGENAME_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Pagename', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Pagename', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>Or is this wrong? Just wanna make sure I do it right.
Thanks Andy, that makes good sense!
If I want to create another member section called “activity” in the navigation bar (not the admin-bar) what changes would I have to make to my theme?
My thoughts would be to add a new folder under “directories” in my theme folder called activity. (same place where the 3 other sections are located)
And id probably need to add something to the header.php as well where the navigation sections are located?
Hi Jeff,
I once designed a theme for wordpress yes. Been a while thou. I know CSS pretty well.
Anyways, ill probably figure it out once ive played around with the skeleton theme for a week or two. I guess its like designing a wordpress theme just that now you have buddypress tags to play with as well.
Do you know why the 3 sections Members, Groups and Blogs looks like they arnt connected to any css file in the skeleton theme?
Great job!!

Hi Burtadsit,
Your right, on the RC-1 I can upload an avatar during signup, I can also change it afterwards with a new image in my profile… Funny I didnt see that!
I guess it confused me a little that I was unable to change my avatar on the new buddypress.org layout without going to gravatar.com. (Not like RC-1)
It says:
Your avatar will be used on your profile and throughout the site.
Avatars on BuddyPress are controlled by the globally recognized avatar system (Gravatar). To change or create a new avatar for your account, please login or signup at: http://gravatar.com.
If you are signing up for a new Gravatar account, make sure you use the same email address that is registered with your WordPress.org account.

So I would have to goto gravatar.com and upload a new avatar instead of just uploading it on the buddypress site. I guess the avatars on the new layout is all controlled by gravatar.com.
Okay thanks, that clears it up a bit. Im not that strong in php but I still managed to build a custom theme in WordPress using the inbuilt template tags.
burtadsit > Do you know if there’s a similar page with template tags and a description for each tag for BuddyPress / The skeleton theme.
Like an “Overview” page that maybe looks like this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags
That page helped me so much delveloping my own theme and understanding the function of each tag.
Sounds great nicolagreco, I’ve seen this feature being used in quite a few communities and personally I think it’s cool to see if/who is actually looking at your profile and maybe even come back because they find your profile interesting. Its just another activity widget which is nice-to-have in my opinion.
