Good suggestions. Keep them coming. @nit3watch
More sidebars huh? That’s easy, could do an if is statement and cycle through what page your on and then output that sidebar.
To allow people to post from front end you will have to use something like gravity forms but then there will be a problem if they need to edit such posts. There really isnt a good solution at the moment. It’s a highly requested feature that some developers are working on.
I’m referring to ideas for types of networks. Like a sports site, then I’d code the groups to be teams instead of groups. I already have this theme in the works. Wanted to get an idea of what people need.
That plugin is a quick fix. You will have to add styles to your themes CSS file to make it look right. Each theme has it’s own id’s and classes so there would be know way to make it look right for every theme out of the box.
My suggestion is get firebug firefox add on and get to crackin’!
Search for a plugin and then you will need to replace the navigation links in your header.php file with the code to call the plugins drop down menu. You can also add support for wp menus and then do the css or javascript coding to make it drop down.
If you changed the folder groups to projects that will not work. The file structure should remain intact. Also, you should change the name of groups to projects via the language file, not via template files. I wrote a post about how the dev’s of BP should make changing groups to something else easier but they said there is no other way to do it properly besides the language file.
If you are using a child theme then you do not need to worry about the default theme unless you ned to modify a file. At that point you copy the file to your child theme.
The regular WP twenty ten them will not work with BP out of the box that is why there is a BP version.
Looks good, my only thing right way that I dont like is the hover on the three boxes below header. It feels backwards. Normally what you hover changes not things around it. Also, I think the headers on the content areas are too “3D” feeling. Maybe it’s the dark shadow around them.
Child themes do not get deleted, only the files inside wp-content/plugins/buddpress/bp-theme
This is why you never modify those files. if you want to change those files, then you copy them to your child theme folder preserving the folder structure.
If you want to change the header then you copy over the header.php to child them folder and BP will use this file instead of the one in the plugins folder. No fear of it getting wiped out on upgrades.
