John James Jacoby replied to the topic Whats with the big red backgrounds behind buddypress.org post links?distracting! in the forum Requests & Feedback 9 years, 9 months ago

The goal was to draw attention to the fact that individual forum categories even exist, as a fair amount of topics in our forums end up in the wrong place.

Any suggestions how to emphasize individual forums without that emphasis being distracting to you?

Also @skyrant, it’s possible this is just a bug in our implementation, and using WordPress’s add_menu_page() function, which requires a capability be passed into it that is consequently checked on the current site being accessed, and not the root site where the bp_moderate capability is likely to be assigned.

You can also look at our _bp_enforce_bp_moderate_cap_for_admins() function for a clue as to what might be preventing your bp_moderate role and capability checks from needing the additional manage_options capability.

Hey @skyrant, project lead chiming in here. Apologies for @ubernaut‘s response; it doesn’t come across as very helpful or inviting, nor does it point you in any directions as to where to start building this type of functionality, which is the type of helpful reply I would expect from our forums normally.

You’ll want to look into WordPress’s map_me…[Read more]

Thanks for the mention, and sorry your topic got caught in our moderation queue (for having 2 or more links in it).
