Oh crap, you’re absolutely right! That should have read position:absolute; 🙁

(Now that I’ve had my nap, my brain is working better.)

@askunky The image should be contained within a div whose precise placement in the header can be controlled with position:relative; Here’s an example styleset to get you started: .my-header-image { position:relative; left:-50px; top:150px; z-index:1; } In the above example, the top-left corner of the div will sit 50px to the left of the left edge of […]

No. This plugin only modifies the bp-adminbar. However, depending on your theme, you can replace the main theme navigation with your customized adminbar.

If the main nav of your theme disappears after enabling the “Hide main nav” feature, you can reposition the adminbar on your main site to replace the main nav.

@bgiddings Yup, it works fine. I like simple solutions. I’m still playing with s2member, and learning about the amazing amount of customization it allows. For example, I’ve set up a membership/upgrade page where the displayed content changes according to logged-in status and subscription level. The same can be done for any page, post, category,…[Read more]

@dotman As @rogercoathup suggested, using a child theme is THE way to go. You’ll find all the info you need to learn how to create one (and why you should) here: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ (Watch out… shameless self-promotion coming up 🙂 ) Once you have your child theme up and running…[Read more]

If you’ve used XAMP/WAMP for your local install, look for a text file called (predictably) “passwords”. You’ll find the info you need there.

If you’re running WP3, go to “Appearance” > “Menus”. There, you can create menus with pages, custom links, or post categories.

@justinbrock Sorry for taking so long to respond… missed this post 🙁 The plugin has been successfully tested with Fishbook and Darwin themes from WPMU2.9.2 to WP3.0.1-MS (not too sure about Facelook though, never tested it). What versions of WP/BP are you running? Do you have any other plugins installed that affect the adminbar? Have you […]

Correction: the char limit DOES work throughout the page.
It’s the charlimitinfo that displays the char countdown ONLY on the first activity item.

Any ideas?

@thelandman Thanks for the reminder, but here’s something odd: I can only get the char limit to work on the first activity item. The script is between the tags, and this is my textarea. <textarea id=&quot;ac-input-" class="ac-input" name="ac_input_ " onkeyup="limitChars(this, 500, 'charlimitinfo')"> Did you do any mods to the script or textarea…[Read more]

I just thought of an alternative solution. You can always try the Buddypress Widget Theme for what you want to accomplish.

@latenitebooks To get you started, here’s a replacement file for activity/post-form.php with a 500 character textarea limit. http://pastebin.com/eXuSa4iK Adjust to taste on line 52. With an if/else conditional, you could set it so different roles have different limits. Simply create a new post-form.php file in your child theme, copy/paste the…[Read more]

See the 2nd example on this page: http://www.ajaxray.com/blog/2007/11/09/interactive-character-limit-for-textarea-using-jquery/ …and view the source of this page: http://www.ajaxray.com/Examples/charLimit2.html Just a few lines of javascript added to your page/template and an onkeyup event added to each textarea. This works just dandy 🙂 To see…[Read more]
