@djpaul

Did you have something specific in mind?
Or are you just encouraging further attempts from my feeble mind? 😉

@djpaul

It’s for a theme I’m developing and yes, I can put it in functions.php (he says, mouth watering in anticipation…)

pcwriter posted on the forum topic Issue with BuddyPress pages and alignment in the group Installing BuddyPress: 13 years, 10 months ago

Take a close look at the nested divs: you’ve got a #content with a #container inside, then another #content inside that. That’s likely gonna throw stuff off.

Also, check if the closing at the top of your file is an oversight, or if it’s required in your theme.

I’m trying to make ‘Profile’ the default tab in member profiles in my theme, and need to do it without having to edit wp-config. Has anyone figured out a way?

A couple of ways are shown in the following post and both work, but they require editing of wp-config. Not good for me.…[Read more]

@hnla

Hiya teach!

Definitely going to have to rethink Bp-WP-Navbar for the next update. For now though, I’m concentrating on learning some more basics to get my BP theme framework finished. You can see the support site built with it here: http://buddylite.com/

pcwriter started the forum topic Question about updating themes for BP1.3 & WP pages in the group Creating & Extending: 13 years, 10 months ago

Hi to all, This is my first foray into theme building & updating. Loads of fun 🙂 From what I gather, BP1.3 will be using WP pages for its components. Does this mean that themes updated or built for 1.3 will no longer need to contend with ‘Members’, ‘Forums, ‘Groups’, etc as users will be […]

@boonebgorges

Thanks for that.
And here I was thinking it was just ‘shorthand’ for echo() 🙁

pcwriter posted on the forum topic Where does the avatar get defined? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 10 months ago

@StevieG

You can set the default avatar type in your WP backend under ‘Buddypress’ > ‘General Settings’.

pcwriter posted on the forum topic Remove "Visit" from the admin bar in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 10 months ago

@invisibleland

Did you check the feature options for the plugin under ‘Settings’ > ‘BP-WP-Navbar’?
It can be set to remove only the random menu, without modifying anything else.

BTW, I agree that the plugin does have a long-ass-name but, as long as it does what it says it does, does it really matter?

pcwriter posted on the forum topic Converting a Theme for BP Compatibility in the group Creating & Extending: 13 years, 10 months ago

Ah, that’s probably it. A div with an id of “sidebar-me” is not defined in your theme’s style.css.

Try changing that line back to <div id="sidebar" class="col-right">
Then wrap just the the login code in <div id="sidebar-me">

Should do it.

@thealchemist

Looking at the source of your page, the opening div is nowhere to be seen.
Did you inadvertently delete <div id="sidebar" class="col-right">?

Do a search of the plugin repo… there are lots of them.

There’s an Open ID plugin:

@djpaul I’ve been going over the changes in trunk (up to r3695… which I think is the most recent?), and I’ve noticed a few major changes such as: – call to load the sidebar template has changed – some new function_exists() calls in functions.php I also spotted at least one nice new security check: !bp_group_is_user_banned() So, […]
