Hey John, I believe that you can add a css statement to your style.css in the child-theme and it should work. Something like this – in which the image is in a directory called images sitting off the root body { background: #eaeaea url( /images/background.gif ) top left repeat-x; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, […]

I can’t help with the ajax part but wanted to let you know that your theme looks exciting. Oh – and yes – posting code here is a pain in the butt. I’ve seem some people use posting with code tag followed by & l t ; ?php (remove spaces) .. so you end up […]

Thank you. Happy to know the answers.

Yes – sorry – I’ve been on the phone with Sprint about an overdrive billing – and laughing too hard because their website is such a mess and had to call – only to get a representative who didn’t even know what the “mysprint” website looks like – it’s just too funny. OK. Yes, the […]

Is this working on your site so I can see a demo?

My students fussed when BP was installed; however, tweaking the child-theme, integrating mediawiki better into BP, and getting the activity stream to the front page helped tremendously. There are tons of plugins that helped, too. The default BP theme takes getting used to – and – this site’s theme is a little daunting. For example, […]

A few more changes (thanks to the help here): The wiki is now better integrated 1. Changes to a wiki page is reflected into the activity stream 2. The header and footer of BP are used in the wiki skin 3. The Wiki Append plugin provides a new feature to the left front page called […]

Thank you. Since I’m not good with php, my interpretation doesn’t seem to work. This is the echo statement to get the avatar to show, however, I’m not sure that the user_id argument works. The area for this statement is blank.

echo bp_core_fetch_avatar(‘type=thumb&width=30&height=30&user_id=1’);
