Another approach would be, in your header, wrap the main menu links with this code:
switch_to_blog( 1 )
...your main menu links...
restore_current_blog();Also check out this plugin, http://wpmudev.org/project/New-Blog-Defaults, it has a bunch of handy options for new blogs. Including setting a default blog theme.
In BP there are more ways to skin a cat
Thanks for sharing your solutions.
Did you had to filter lots of hard-coded BP links to append ‘?lang’ ?
Or you are using some stripped down version of BP?
We used jquery to append
Having javascript enabled is essential for our site, so we were okay with that approach. Since our site runs on BP1.1 I am very eager for your update. I did a quick trial and error and see how it would handle BP1.1 out of the box, but it kinda choked for now.
Maybe if your avatar had a smiley friendly face like Jeff, he would have
Just kidding, it is a shame, since _ck_ has many plugins.
I suppose once a plugin has successfully been converted to buddypress by someone, we could track the changes necessary to make compatible bp-forum plugins? I have no idea how hard it would be to make them compatible…not looked at it myself.
Hi David, I have been very busy with a deadline at the office. Now with 1.1 out I am re prioritizing working on the BASE code for bp-events 1.1. Some stuff will need to be updated to reflect the gazillion bug fixes in BP 1.1. Eventhough it seems to work fine on my install, I will create another local install to see where it is at with the official BP 1.1.
My task has been really to port over the basic events functionality as a service to the community. Erwin will continue on this port and extend the features as he wishes. The biggest part that is not included with the current port is the directory view, since that was still in flux when I started porting so I left it till matured.
Give me some time as I also have another major plugin (group blog) that needs reworking of the code. However as I said, my aim is to help build a stable release for a bare bones bp-events 1.1. That is the most important task, upon which new features can be build.
Make sure to read the readme of the trunk as installation will be different and more compliant with buddypress methodology of installing plugins versus wpmu.
So…just a little more time or help is always appreciated
As promised…for now it means changing the code inside the plugin as follows:
* Find this function groupblog_screen_blog() in bp-events.php (somewhere towards the bottom)
* Uncomment that whole function.
* Replace it with the following function:
function groupblog_screen_blog() {
global $bp;
if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->groups->slug && 'blog' == $bp->current_action ) {
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'groupblog_screen_blog', 'groupblog/blog' ) );
}
}
add_action( 'wp', 'groupblog_screen_blog', 4 );* Create a folder in your active theme directory named ‘groupblog’.
* Then create your template file (in this case ‘blog.php’) in the groupblog folder.
Send me a message if you run into problems
The basic difference is that in this function we use bp_core_load_template to load our template file and fire an add_action to register this function.
I actually don’t use the plugin-template myself either
, but it is easier for people to install and upgrade though wp-admin, since you don’t have to move theme files around.I don’t have the opportunity to show how now, but will post later today when I get a chance.
paths are set dynamically to the plugin folder and theme folder, etc, but the plugin folder names should remain the same. Try and rename all the folders of buddypress to random names, I don’t think so
I doubt that piece of stray code comes out of bp-events, I can not make anything out of it.
