In reply to: [Resolved] BuddyPress Alignment with my theme
If you have the option don’t get too involved with template pack, work with and style the theme compat templates – if you have heavier duty styling/markup requirements then you perhaps might need to use the bp-default templates moved into your theme but try 1.7 in theme compat mode first:

I’ll Publish a page that I’d kept in draft as I wanted to revise some aspects that will help explain.

In reply to: [Resolved] Attn: (help needed!)@mercime can/will do. Slightly wanted to chat with you on that though, might email when I get a minute or two tomorrow.
In reply to: [Resolved] BuddyPress Alignment with my themePlease don’t bump threads til ~24 hours has passed.
You stated ‘playing around’ with BP, that doesn’t tend to gel with ‘getting desperate’ Why the urgency? 🙂
What I would suggest is you rely on the theme compatibility built in to 1.7, use that rather than ? template pack. Download a copy of 1.7 beta and have a go with that, it’s pretty stable and safe to beging building sites with.
In reply to: Buddypress with Photo Album CapabilitiesClosing this thread as it’s run it’s course.
Looking forward to seeing contributions to the community @famous
In reply to: [Resolved] BuddyPress 1.7 ThemingCodex? Documentation link
In reply to: Buddypress with Photo Album Capabilitiesthere should be more efforts like “CBOX”
You really need to explain a remark like that. What are you wanting provided for you? CBOX is a theme development project based on the Infinity framework. It has entailed a huge number of hours, is backed by a number of developers, and also as far as I’m aware funded, so the fact it’s then returned as openly available for anyone to use is a bonus, but do not expect that to be the norm it’s an exception.
Your bullet points are understandable but not necessarily possible to do. Define work well? who writes those review and tests the plugins?
Better forum responses? how do we achieve this then? Bear in mind a forum such as this and many others are a volunteer effort, those of us that do answer questions do so at the expense of our free time even though for most developers there is in reality no such animal as free time, again helping out on the forum is one way to help improve it as is contributing to the Codex as I mentioned before.
– So yes no one would question things can always be improved and it’s fine to suggest so but the real answer is get involved help make that improvement – it’s a community driven effort.
And on that note the thread does start to repeat itself so lets draw a line under things!
In reply to: Theme CSS overriding BuddyPress stylesBy & large the point was/is with the BP theme compatibility styles that they do or provide as little styling as possible, to slot into a theme BP has to render just very simple positioning styles more than anything, leaving the theme to provide styles.
You will need to look at the mechanisms the theme provides for adding styles and provide adjustments where the theme causes issues for BP elements.
BP provides a top level namespace type token #buddypress so using that you can apply styles that have a higher specificity.
In reply to: Buddypress with Photo Album Capabilitiesits 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
Why is it obvious there’s a lack of clarity? The question of media keeps getting dragged up because people want that elusive magical full on solution available right now for free – or so it seems?
There are three available media offerings, and media capability to any great degree is in the hands of plugins it’s not a core issue. There are far more fundamental things the small core dev team need to focus on and it’s not things like this.
Take questions about media directly to the plugin authors, hassle bp-media ask why it’s still not near beta.
And as for wiki , FAQ etc contribute, give back write the darned best practise ?blog 🙂 you say you’ve been using BP for years? well BP is community driven – get driving please.
In reply to: [Resolved] Remove SPAN tag from group tabWhy? Edit how?
Always best to explain what you’re trying to achieve.
You can style span tags easily enough in fact that’s obviously why they are wrapping those characters, as for removing there is little point a span is simply the inline aggregating equivalence of a div.
In reply to: status update not updatingThat’s a custom theme, please check if issue exists with BP Default theme i.e is a BP issue if it works correctly with default BP setup then you must take issue to the theme author, if issue persists with BP default theme / no unnecessary plugins running report back here.
Use web developer tools to examine that textarea, see what properties are being applied to it, this is n issue with the theme you’re using it is likely applying some styling on a more specific level that is affecting the BP styles so you will need to locate and add your own / remove.
In reply to: Guide for new members?No you have to write your own guides to using your site, nearly every site development will have to, many site builds have unique custom features so those have to be explained and are specific to a given site.
However a general guide to using the generic BP features could be useful and if you want to start a document in the codex you are free to do so, and you may find others perhaps have started something similar in draft form.
You should be able to get to the codex via /wp-admin/ using your site credentials if necessary.
In reply to: [Resolved] Attn: (help needed!)BuddyPress templates are or should all be namespaced with a top level ID ‘#buddypress’ this is allow the ability to create rulesets that target elements that specifically fall under this ID; thus:
#buddypress ul {list-style: none;}
Would remove bullets on ALL ul constructs generated by BP unless the BP stylesheet overloaded that ruleset with something more specific.
Also always check the body element class as BP will place many specific BP class tokens in there that can also be used for creating unique selector strings for rulesets.
Editing is generally time sensitive on forums, not 100% sure of protocol being employed here.
Marking as resolved for you.
@mercime We perhaps ought to create a ticket on this? Why was it removed in the bp-legacy files template?
@39images @bphelp Although this isn’t strictly a required line of text that has to be there, it is perhaps a bit clearer with some instruction – although that could be better done with a little inventive PHP on the textarea value to replicate ‘placeholder’ text.
Remember if you encounter issues like this you do still have the original default buddypress template files in the plugin folder so you can compare the same files to see changes / grab bits of code that have been removed.
Should do the trick.
In reply to: [Resolved] Attn: (help needed!)No problem. I’ll mark thread as resolved – if not post back . and /or check that link Mercime provided.
In reply to: [Resolved] Attn: (help needed!)Create copy of page.php rename to either community.php or buddypress.php open and edit the file to remove one or other of the get sidebars or dynamic sidebar calls depending on how the themes doing things.
BP will use this new file rather than page.php, WP will continue to use page.php where required.
I have drafted a codex page explaining basic theme compat usage with themes but some re-ordering needs doing with the codex before any more pages can be added.
In reply to: Buddypress with Photo Album Capabilities@famous why are you asking ML this question directly? It’s the sort of question that only a core developer can answer really.
Also this question has been done to death, you were part of that last long thread about the two plugins.
BP is unlikely ever to delve into this area it’s too detailed bp is not going to provide a solution to media capabilities, it’s firmly in the hands of third party plugins, if you have a notion of how this may be done as you sketch out above try filling in the detail a bit about how that may work then maybe people may have further inspiration, however if this revolves around having to have MS setup then it’s unlikely a great approach but who knows?
In reply to: My pages quit after installing Buddy Press@jimchester Jim as there is very little detail to go on and as @mercime mentions the link is not valid the best thing to do is start confirming a few things by way of troubleshooting and feeding back information that can be useful.
First thing I would do is deactivate BuddyPress, & any plugins you have activated, revert back to your basic WP installation and establish if that works correctly, if it doesn’t then this may point to a general issue with the main installation and that is best looked into on the WP support forums, if it does work correctly then try reactivating BP – but please only with the default BP theme no custom themes as they are often main culprits in problems – now see if things are any different, try and note as much detail about problems and report back on this thread.
In reply to: Required Profile fields don’t workThat is not the experience I’m finding, required fields left empty are returning an error, so please check all your mods and alternative methods of signing in/registering
In reply to: how to remove the SideBar from registration-page ?Please do not resurrect such old posts, it’s not proper form, they are there as archive records if they don’t help then start a new topic.
In reply to: Change the width of the forum spaceWhat this forum? Please be clear and accurateand provide a little detail to your post otherwise you will get little response! ‘Forums’ is essentially a bbPress issue, but yes you can do whatever you like in terms of styling – is the short answer
In reply to: [Resolved] Disabling register redirect@dabesa Please open your own thread setting out your requirement, do not open multiple, very old, seemingly related post, it’s not good form.
