Oh ah yes the author states it’s BP ready and it’s tagged as updated 14-04-11 I would take the issues to the authors site for support, we can’t support third party themes to any great degree here on the main BP support forum.

Is it labeled as BP compatible? If not did you run the template pack plugin to make it so? Sounds to me like you are trying to run a WP theme that hasn’t been adjusted to work with BP.

It’s not really that much different? I doubt it’s a good idea to use an older default theme with later BP versions the two will not be compatible

Examine your browser source code that should show the new classes applied to the list elements of the activity stream ul. You should or want to see a class of odd or even but last after a few others that are generated and there must be a space between class tokens (words/strings) that is why […]

It’s basically the default theme but probably an early 1.2 version.

Couple of things: first you need the space as mentioned bit earlier ‘ odd’ ‘ even’ second I notice some backticks in the pastebin code that’s probably fromm trying to paste the code into the forum fist but just make sure that those backticks don’t exist in the real source code. You should be seeing […]

@nit3watch Hmm working for me. Just tested on a 1.3 test install. line numbers need disregarding or at least using as a very rough pointer to the area, line numbers have changed even more in 1.3. One thing that needs doing is where there is an instance of ‘odd’ or ‘even’ those need to become ‘ […]

Have you really tested against PHP versions? To state min 5.3 is really quite limiting the vast majority of hosting shared and bare bones VPS will be running a distro such as CentOS which as standard comes with 5.1.6 better hosts will have upgraded that to 5.2.*, if you’re having to upgrade this yourself as […]

those damned pesky shift keys 😉 🙂

? did you change a bp-default file or do as pointed out earlier and make a child theme? If you didn’t do so move your edited file to the child theme and either replace the original from the archive file or not worry as it doesn’t need to be there and an update will place […]

Try changing:

to

It can help to add extra spacing i.e carriage returns between those elements to make it visually easier to read and follow the flow of your Ifs and endif’s

You just have a mis-matched if / endif you’ll need to work through the code to find out where that occurred, it’s not necessarily that actual line that has the issue but just where it first runs into it being an issue. It’s hard to tell what you have done wrong without being able to […]

You do this in a child theme, please see the BP codex for guidance on how to create a child theme (easy!)

Mercime has shown you how and where it’s not really php coding it’s a matter of copy pasting .

@Nit3watch I re-factored the link in this thread:

To locate the post I made with snippet and also pasted into the thread above, it may help?

Added this snippet fro a while back from the link above it might be useful, but also I posted this over a year ago so may contain inaccuracies: ` In file bp-themes/bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php add line ‘ ’ above line 20 ‘ ’ Immediately below the while loop on line 20 add: ‘ ’ To print out the odd or […]

I take it all back permalinks are lovely 🙂

Hand crafted a new link, obvious really 🙂

jQuery, it’s how striping was/is achieved for the other various tables / lists dotted around the app. In fact I’m sure I showed how a month or two back along with enqueue function to add your own JS snippets file. EDIT// just spotted my earlier remark in this thread oh well so much for permalinks […]

Turn on debugging, as I spotted a few deprecated functions pop up in warnings. Uploading to repo is probably best slowed down it’s tempting to upload at every change but it’s inevitable that the quicker you rush to upload the more likely the second after you realise you forgot to change version numbers and a […]

The fact that the sidebars may vary in length as well as the centre content makes life harder overlapping borders works but will still result in an apparent miss-match if one sidebar is longer than the other as is the case presently. Really your only two options are using a graphic (create a border take […]
