Is this really not a question more suited to the WP forum?

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Copied those pasted files over as we have irritatingly crossed to a second page.

The first files two lines are the important ones notice the difference?

In the BP file you need to replace:

`

`

With:

`

`

The end of the BP file now becomes:
`

`
In testing this rename your bp-file to something like index.php.bck and make a copy renamed to the valid file to work on this way it’s a simple reversion when it all goes wrong rename current file to index.php.borked and rename the .bck file back o index.php.

I’m afraid it’s likely not going to be as simple with all the pages as the theme you have chosen makes use of a framework (bad oh so bad yahoo!) style CSS which creates lots of non semantically named elements such as that span-16 and you may find a few of these on other pages however the main layout structure is governed by the #contentwrap and that will appear on all the theme pages so this change will need to be made in each BP file along with that span-16 element which I guess acts as a wrapper for the content to allow page content to come before sidebar content in which case they have chosen bad naming convensions

1-Page.php (child theme)

`

<div class="post" id="post-“>

“alignleft post_thumbnail”)); } ?>
<?php the_content('

‘); ?>

‘

Pages: ‘, ‘after’ => ‘

‘, ‘next_or_number’ => ‘number’)); ?>

<?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '

‘, ‘

‘); ?>

`

2- BP Activity/index.php

`

• <a href="” title=””>
• <a href="” title=””>
• <a href="” title=””><?php printf( __( 'My Favorites (%s)’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_get_total_favorite_count_for_user( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ) ?>
• <a href="” title=””>

• <a href="” title=”RSS Feed”>

Are you sure that the page.php is actually the whole file? it doesn’t look it and it’s the first few elements that are the critical ones , generally the file or any file must start with get_header() and that would tend to confirm that it’s the start and no other elements are missing when viewing the file.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

I’ve had to perform some sly edit trickery to be able to get into your post to edit it to bring the thread back to normality

Please note the instruction right below the post window that says:

“To display code, put it between `backticks`.”

You’re using an old theme that hasn’t been updated but you have updated BP?

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Have to admit naming the folder /bp-theme(s) does tend to suggest that it would/should contain more than one

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

No that’s fine glad have been of help

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

No it’s the wrong place to upload BP themes to

All themes live in /wp-content/themes only BP default lives inside the plugin directories

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

You should be looking for the BP files in your child theme directory, Step 1 should have copied over the necessary BP folders such as /activity along with amongst others index.php files if step one automated moving of these BP files didn’t work then step 2 would explain to move these files manually.

If those files are present then you need to open the main index file in the themes top level folder and also the index.php from the bp activity folder, comparing those you will see a difference in elements apparent and need to get the BP file to match the main themes index file and repeat for all other BP files as listed in the plugin guide page.

Not really sure that getting me to do this would be cost effective and end up costing rather a lot

If you postup the contents of those two files some kindly soul might do a quick reworking of the BP one to match the themes structure as an example for you to follow for the other files.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Try opening index.php or page.php, basically a file that you know renders correctly and therefore contains the correct markup elements and ID/classes and then compare that to the index.php file in the activity folder for bp, you need to copy any elements that exist in the good file to the BP one that doesn’t have them.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

This filters out nasty rude words for comment replies, maybe someone could extend that to cover BP streams.

`
function filter_profanity($content) {
$profanities = array(‘smelly,’fart’,’bignose’,’lamebrain’, );
$content=str_ireplace($profanities,’*censored*’,$content);
return $content;
}
add_filter(‘comment_text’,’filter_profanity’);
`
Obviously I’ve had to filter the filter words as mine were simply shocking and not to be repeated in polite company.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Profanity filter? There was something but I think it was WP post specific but should be possible to achieve with a little work for BP aspects.

There is this:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/webpurifytextreplace/
But it is a paid for solution and although it states BP support it is a little outdated so would need checking with authors as to whether it would work with alter BP versions.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

@Fredok I’m afraid running the template pack is only half the story and to finish the process you do need to get stuck in and edit the main pages markup; BP pages need to match your parent markup, and from a quick glance I can see that they don’t at all at the moment.

Open up index.php and use that as a reference, your bp pages need to follow the same major elements such as #container which I can see there are two of and as an ID there can only be one and regardless should only exist once. So all the index.php markup should exist in the same order in the BP pages with the bp specific elements sitting nested in the parent markup/framework.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Ah yes, semantics, indeed Boone. Hadn’t meant to use ‘security’ in the sense to which you refer which really is a far more server/site protection aspect and one I’m afraid to say should be par for the course for any moderately well written web application i.e sql injection after all that really is room 101 scripting but in the more user orientated manner the OP was , I think, referring to, and in that respect no I’m afraid BP offers little built in to moderate, administer members, protect privacy aspects of members details, etc so where young children are concerned the OP or anyone should tread carefully

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

I’m afraid at present BP itself offers very little by way of privacy or security. There was a thread discussion on what may happen with a plugin written by one of the more experienced BP developers to provide a layer of privacy to BP, at present the community waits to find out whether it will be released to the community to use and maintain or even perhaps for it to be worked into the core.

Clossed. Continue on in:

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Better done with a little jQuery snippet than packing out the markup with scripting bloat, you can fairly easily run a focus /blur event handler checking for a value of ‘value’ and flip flopping the removal or replacement of any string in .value, the element then requires a class token of some description for jQuery to hook onto and whatever string for the value of an input or textarea you choose ; only problem with BP is the use of Ajax as the page does not refresh after submission and you have to wait for a page refresh before the placeholder text is presented again.

Actually the use of the placeholder attribute introduced with html5 is the better way to proceed as it’s designed to avoid any possibility of that text getting unwittingly submitted along with genuine text, most Modern browsers support this attribute however BP appears to be messing it up somehow? not really sure what BP is doing but an examination of the two main JS files is probably required.

P.S always use lowercase JS attributes rather than camelCasing them as that strictly speaking fails validation

I note you have asked the exact same question on WP support, it is considered bad form to post across different forums with the same copied question however I do also note that you didn’t post the WP one til ~ 2 hours ago.

looking at that theme on WP tells me it hasn’t been updated since June of last year, BP has gone through some major updates since then, personally I wouldn’t bother with a theme that hasn’t been updated to keep abreast of new versions.

This exact same problem has been asked before of this theme on this forum in fact mercime you responded on it.

I find it incredulous sometimes that people can call a simple reworking of a few colours and a few rulesets here and there a theme, given that the theme looks like BP why not just use the current bp and modify it ourself to suit at least that way you would know it worked

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Echoing Modems point, why is everyone so fixated on Facebook or Twitter for that matter, BP shouldn’t try and be a clone but something more or at least unique in it’s self.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Why have you posted on the back of a another thread? Did nothing in what I mentioned above about asking detailed questions, supplying a little bit of background information on your situation / setup make sense?

Please do as is expected, if you really need help, post a new thread rather than piggy back of another only possibly related post, supply detail so that we do not have to start of by asking you questions that shouldn’t be necessary.

Closing this thread.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

@rckelsey
Well as you have pointed out this is, like WP, an open source piece of work free to download and run, so sadly expecting any level of support is simply out of the question, what support there is, as you’re well aware, is free and provided by a voluntary group of users who have managed through using the software to gain a degree of knowledge and understanding which they attempt to use to help others out with.

I’m not sure if you asked a more detailed question elsewhere about your issue but based on this one it would be next to impossible to help you as you simply do not provide any technical detail on the issue that we would be able to use to start to figure out what may be the issue and provide feedback and help.

You might counter with the fact that as a newbie, technically unskilled, you are not sure how to provide this info but that is something that just has to be learned. There are posts describing what detail to supply in a thread which at least give us something to go on.

Your last comment about a need for more support may be true and that is where YOU come in! give back to the community help out on the forum as you learn and gain knowledge from using BP/WP, this is how tech forums survive and thrive YOU are the help!

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Locking topic, too many old posts on this forum get resurrected, not generally an accepted practice on boards.

@n_sane a little advise if you really want help you must formulate a detailed question which describes the issue and any attempts at rectifying it, along with your setup in terms of app versions and server, simply stating there’s an issue will not get very far as we have to start asking you a whole series of questions just to get that detail from you, ergo much of our volunteered free time wasted.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

So mod_rewrite wasn’t loaded then? I hope I helped in asking for confirmation that it was or wasn’t it helps to check what phpinfo reports.

I would change that Debian distro for redhat centos or fedora they have much nicer default configs all geared up for getting of to a fairly quick start as a web server.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Run phpinfo() what modules does it list under ‘loaded modules’ your looking for mod_rewrite to be in the list.

After that checks out you want to check your chown settings for directories, it tends not to matter what file permissions you set if the group and owner of the file and directory is wrong. Those file permissions simply set a series of permissions for Group, Owner, and Other but doesn’t set which group / owner.
