I’ll check it out. As I’m sure you know good themes are a bit rare for BP. I was just thinking “Skins” may be a good way to promote BP usage. I would love to setup a site if I had the time. There are are growing number of good BP topic sites so hopefully one of them can give it a try. I think it would drive a lot of traffic.

That’s what I was thinking about the home.php. The one befit of using a page template is you can more easily use meta boxes, but I think I like the simplicity of the home.php better.

The best thing about the Update Wizard is when you forget to run it and think all is lost, then you realize.. wait that was easy.

The problem seems to be with the pagination above it. Adding this solves the issue.

`div.pagination {
overflow: hidden;
}`

Not sure if the fix will cause other issues.

[@fiq Member 14 years, 4 months ago]

When I add this to the css it seems to fix the issue.

`table {
display: inline-block;
}`

Just wondering if someone can confirm this.

Unless you are using the BP Default theme you are going to need to mod the plugin template(s) file to match your theme page structure (page.php or index.php). Like you may have done with the BP Template Pack Plugin, if that is what you are using.

[@fiq Member 14 years, 5 months ago]

The reason its so noticeable is because it loads last. It is called in the footer. I know somewhere here there is a hack to call it in the header, but because of a lack of search tools I can’t find the post.

[@fiq Member 14 years, 5 months ago]

No.

You need to mod the temple so it has the same header, sidebar and footer as your theme (redline)

‘php
/**
* Template: Page.php
*
* @package RedLine
* @subpackage Template
*/
get_header();
?>

[Buddypress Pack template code (remove header, sidebar & footer calls]

php get_sidebar(); ?>
php get_footer(); ?>`

The template pack is good for theme developers but its not an easy fix. It will require lots of custom coding and css to look and work right. I think you would be much happier modding the default BP theme. It would only take a little css to get the look of the Redline WP theme.

Thanks!

I understand the reasoning behind having it only on the last page, but I think the confusion that may result is a bigger factor than people not reading to the end before posting.

[@fiq Member 14 years, 5 months ago]

I don’t mean to keep bumping this, but I’m getting lots of emails from users.

Thanks

How would that work with Youtube, etc?

[@fiq Member 14 years, 9 months ago]

I should point out for those that are not as anal-retentive as me, this simple css will also get the job done (it gives some strange aspect ratios):

`#content iframe, #content object, #content embed {
max-width: 100% !important;
}`

[@fiq Member 14 years, 9 months ago]

Sorry for some reason I was thinking of Dean Edwards ie7-js instead of modernizr (staring at code too long). IE7-js tends to crash the browser if run in IE compatibility mode. But I still don’t see how Modernizr would address the fluid width issue for Youtube, Vimeo, etc. If I was hosting the video myself and using the video tag I could see it working or am I missing something?

I don’t see any errors in firebug. The ajax works but it just isn’t applying the fix to the newly loaded content. This is just a guess but I think the FitVids only runs on the page-load so when new content is loaded via ajax the videos are unaffected.

[@fiq Member 14 years, 9 months ago]

It works great throughout BP, except with the ajax. Anyone have any ideas?

[@fiq Member 14 years, 9 months ago]

My knowledge on this subject is admittedly weak, but I don’t see how stretching would be a issue. The default theme max width is far under most of the big video hosts max embed size. Not using iframes is not a solution, unless someone can tell another way users can embed video.

I’m not sure which way I’m going to go on the images. Most likely I’ll just use a css solution.

Modernizr is a good idea in theory, but it has it’s own drawbacks. Although I have considered using the HTML5 Boilerplate for the base of a child theme. But that’s another story.

If I was designing a small website with little or no com unity I would agree with most of what you said, but with a over a million visitors a month it’s a whole other ballgame.

But like I said, I’m new to this dynamic web, so maybe there is something here I don’t fully understand.

[@fiq Member 14 years, 9 months ago]

I got this same message:

“The plugin generated 1 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.”

[@fiq Member 14 years, 9 months ago]

Buddypress is very dynamic and hard to cache. Try turning off wp super cache and wp minify and see if that helps.

[@fiq Member 14 years, 9 months ago]

Yes, moving down in size is the tricky part.

It would be nice if there was a database script that looked for embeds and iframes and striped everything away except for the link which should then embed on its own post WP 2.9.

Perhaps there may be a solution here:

[@fiq Member 14 years, 9 months ago]

I thought the whole purpose was to have a dynamic width?

[@fiq Member 14 years, 9 months ago]

Sorry to keep bumping this, but with the flood of 1.5 topics I didn’t want it to get lost.

[@fiq Member 14 years, 9 months ago]

Anyone?

[@fiq Member 14 years, 9 months ago]

Basically 3 things. An embedly hack, a latest forum topic widget and a hack to allow the correct avatar upload path because it’s in a sub-domain. That latter would be my guess.
