The blank option when set may well not be visible after saving or when you try and edit the field but I think it will show on frontend and be working as such.

Minor bugs need dealing with in 1.5.5 / 1.6

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

In testing quickly I find that trying to set a blank option as the first in the list of options returns an error (testing on 1.6) however if I set the blank option later in the list and then use the radio select option to set it as default it does accept it and work on the front end as expected. The first visible option will be ‘—‘

@naijaping you may like to test that this works on 1.5 for your install? and report it back if possible.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

They provide too little by way of explanation of how their app works really, looking at it nothing suggests that you take anything and work it into another site – other than a licence note in footer that the software is released as free software – however given that a cursory look suggests that this is a WP site running BP I don’t think they can state that or at least that’s a given so perhaps they refer to something else they have developed ? some plugin underpinning things?

You will need to better explain just what you think you would be deploying to your site as this is still not clear – framework? where is this framework so someone can check it out.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

yep not to worry it’s done now

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

In fact I have gone and checked for you and your theme has been covered on this post:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/where-are-my-sub-menus/

This is the extent of mercime’s help – the code necessary to make bp template files compatible with a given theme and then it’s up to the poster to implement that code in their files. So the work has been done as it were and just needs implementing, if you still haven’t the time to do that then I would suggest you make a slightly better offer 20 euros might be a little more incentive for someone and perhaps post the request in the jobs board group.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

> and I don’t know how long it takes.

Then you can’t possibly place a remunerative value on the effort can you – certain ‘offers’ can be considered derisory and perhaps are better not made at all

I’ll butt out now but please do have a preliminary read through the codex guides that have been slaved over to provide easy to grasp steps in converting themes – if you have a basic understanding of what needs doing it might well help mercime if she has time to help out.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

> paste in pastebin.com !! ?

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

5 Euros??!! that’s about £4.00 or $6.5 do you really value coding so cheaply that buys around 6 minutes of my time.

If you really desperately need to use this theme and you haven’t the time to learn to use the BP template pack plugin – have you tried or made a start with the template pack to convert your theme to use BP? – then you might want to think about making that offer a little more generous

Failing that check the codex pages to see if this is a theme @mercime has already covered and converted – there’s a list of themes already made compatible. Failing all that as well you might be lucky and find mercime will do this for you for free.

does if you try this:

`remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 9, 2 );`

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

All working then? we can mark thread as resolved if so.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

this ought to work:

`
function enqueue_limit_char() {
if ( !is_admin() ) {
if( bp_is_profile_component() && ‘edit’ == bp_current_action() )
wp_enqueue_script();
}
}
add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘enqueue_limit_char’);
`

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

That was more by way of saying that I needed to pass this through a hook of some description and used bp_init for the sake of it. I would have hoped that simply adding your function to wp_enqueue_scripts would have worked but think there may be issues with page already having been parsed in order to determine those page conditions.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

The register form appears to be displaying when I visit the link?!

I’m afraid that you are asking theme specific questions and this support forum is really geared to buddypress itself and it’s default theme. Salutation does a have support forums and asking there will get you a far better response also they will have guides that you should read and follow.

The top tabs are accessed from /wp-admin/themes.php?page=sidebars-top-tabs you need to also do something about adding their behaviour in the Appearance > widgets page

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

Try this:
`if( bp_is_profile_component() && ‘edit’ == bp_current_action() )`

To get that running from functions.php I had to add it to bp_init so you’ll need to play around with things.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

The WP ‘Pages’ used to create the page views are just there to create the url path if you view one it’s intentionally empty – or am I missing the point of what you’re saying?

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

> Are there any plugins out there that make this easier for novice-coders?

Not really you will just have to bite the bullet and learn to code a little, or, and if you’re running a a site that you hope to capitalise on in some way then consider employing developers to handle this aspect – freebie help will only take you so far – quite far with mercimes help but ought to be considered a helping hand to kick start you off.

In view of the help in progress on the other thread this one is closed.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

it shouldn’t match the sender it’s supposed to be the recipient id, and it is on my local databases, if I check messages_messages I have an id and user_id – the sender – if I check the message id in recipients table and locate the same message ID the user_id now represents a different user, the recipient.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

? you seem to be referring to a bbPress issue given the link above; forum posts and indeed WP blog posts truncate without a link, BP activity updates however are fine and have an active read more link.

The feature you refer to doesn’t mention forums or posts

> Add truncation for long posts; adds a “read more” link which dynamically loads the full text (#2635, #3203).

Perhaps if you perceive the behaviour as wrong you could open a trac ticket?

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

Don’t be too hasty to post a review until you’ve determined the cause of the issue

Also it’s worth checking carefully what a plugin says it’s tested to / works with. If a plugin does not say at least BP1.5 personally I would avoid it.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

If your theme works in full with BP running on your local dev then little point in testing just with bp-default theme, this points to some other issue but guessing at what that may be without everything to hand is too difficult – if your tests are not with custom theme and BP i.e just the theme and we’re talking about WP comments then the custom theme may have an issue with BP and that will need to be proven then taken to the theme author for a possible answer – if this is a theme that is intended to be BP compatible.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

But did you deactivate the custom theme and activate bp-default, disable all plugins except BP and for good measure visit permalinks page to clear cache.

And are you really having exactly the same issue? It is proper to create a new thread and describe your issue in as much detail there rather than tag (hijack) on to an old thread.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

General users don’t have the ability to create posts, they are by default registered as ‘subscribers’ a role that can only comment on not create – have you changed anything in the established role a user gets?

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

Yes as mercime says don’t delete anything just yet, deleting and re-installing is seldom really required.

With the Salutation theme you have chosen quite a tricky framework to get ones head around, at best it’s confusing until you have spent a bit of time with it, but results do look quite nice and it appears to integrate well with BP, one thing to bear in mind with the theme is that it does allow you to export all the configured layouts and template includes so if you have started building, configuring layouts then check where the various export options are and save them then if necessary you can re-import them to re-create your custom changes.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

I’ve installed – re-installed, manually modified DB’s, a hundred times and never had anything remotely like this happen especially not caused by BP. BP doesn’t cock up in this manner, table prefix sounds like something your theme has done.

As for fix? try renaming your tables back to the wp default ‘wp_’

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

A little more work is required to remove those empty tags used for clearing though
