Thanks @danbp for the link.

I’ll be sure to prep with the guidelines depending on where this goes.

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

Themes are such a hard sell. Probably will just submit it to Theme Forest.

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

Yeah .org aint doing it for me in terms of BuddyPress themes. Be a good thing for buddypress.org to have though.

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

Was sorta hoping to make some coin with this theme. wp.org wont do that for me.

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

For a BuddyPress theme, what’s the requirements to get on wp.org?

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

I’m wondering if it’s still worth building this theme.

It’s performant and has support for all of the members component and activity components features right now.

Anyone here see people using this theme for personal sites etc?

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

That’s a really cool theme you implemented.

The left bar is also a menu in my theme, it doesn’t have anything in it now though.

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

Theres a plugin which does what you mention. BuddyPress Activity Plus you can find it from the plugins page in your WordPress admin area.

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

I’m also publishing a video series to the site right now about WordPress theme development.

Hope get some people to signup and join in, share their own tips and tricks.

Yeah I think so, I’ve only ever created on theme using rems and the visual gains were pretty obvious.

I don’t have much reason to use SVG on this theme right now, but maybe in the future in custom templates.

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

Thanks for pointing that out @henrywright

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

@henrywright

Thanks for the constructive feedback, I will certainly look at increasing the font-size. I’m using px units for measurement right now and would be good to get over to rems.

So far the members and activity components are pretty much ready for a 1.0 release but would like to get groups and sites in their also, and decide on which plugins to ship with it.

Also, could you be a bit more specific. Which particular text do you propose is increased?

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

@danbp yeah I have it setup for both groups and stand-alone.

The bp_is_user_forums, no matter what I try returns false and never matches. The plugin template is then used to render the templates BBPress uses.

I’ll try a fresh install at some point, there’s always something new to deal with.

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

@danbp

members/single/index.php does exist, I created it. It also takes as a valid template. If you use home.php erroneous p tags are placed throughout the page.
bp_is_user_forums() doesn’t seem to work.

I think the template names were all changed, https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/#single-member-pages

/members/member/forums/ doesn’t list anything, returns nothing.
/members/member/forums/replies – lists the topics, although they aren’t replies they are topics started.

Thanks for reply.

p.s.

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

@danbp Thanks for reply.

Inside of members/single/index.php

There’s some logic to serve the correct template.

I notice at the line

elseif(bp_is_user_forums()) :

This never actually runs… It’s not until the “// if nothing else sticks” fail safe the logic matches and the plugins template is loaded.

So two problems… How can I serve my own template, and inside that template how do I query a members topics?

Basically I’m working with the legacy templates which ship with the plugin to get started with this theme.

Also, sidenote… BuddyPress seems to inject weird paragraph tags throughout the inner templates if you don’t have the correct template names in your-theme/buddypress

Only seems to happen when a buddypress folder exists inside the theme.

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

I figured it out WITHOUT looking at buddypress.js (go me).

You need a container with an ID of BuddyPress for the data to be appended to. (heads to check buddypress.js)… Yes, yes it’s true.

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

Anyone…?

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 9 months ago]

I suck on Twitter so bad.

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 9 months ago]

@henrywright the post on .org got closed, they say it’s too work like…

It was actually the nicest thread closure I’ve ever seen https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lets-work-together?replies=2#post-6872616 🙂

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 9 months ago]

I’ll give that a shout, haven’t been on the .org really. Good opportunity s’ppose. Thanks @henrywright

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 9 months ago]

@batufan

Yeah @danbp knows what I don’t.

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 9 months ago]

I think it’s in a core file somewhere, having looked into index.php (inside buddypress/templates/members/) now index-directory.php there’s no specific function call that I can see .

However you can build your own search form, just make sure you set the input name to be that of “s” and it should work. With AJAX you can look into buddypress.js to see how the devs have hooked up the form.

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 9 months ago]

Yeah, I checked. This no longer works at all

<div id="pag-bottom" class="pagination buddypress">
        <div class="page-count" id="member-dir-count-bottom">
            <?php bp_activity_pagination_count(); ?>
        </div>
        <div class="page-links" id="member-dir-pag-bottom">
            <?php bp_activity_pagination_links(); ?>
        </div>
    </div><!-- END PAGINATION -->

Why the dependency on AJAX? Any pointers to implement traditional pagination? I’m sorta stuck now.

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 9 months ago]

Bump*

[@marcella1981 Participant 9 years, 9 months ago]

Yeah, also make sure you have registration enabled in wp-admin/discussion I think.
