Sorry my workaround isn’t working as hoped… the easy solutions aren’t always the best 😉

Perhaps Elgg would be more to your liking…

@Janis, here we go… To widgetize your header, register a new sidebar in your child theme’s functions.php file, like so: register_sidebars( 1, array( 'name' => 'custom-header', 'id' => 'custom-header', 'before_widget' => ' <div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => ' <div class="clear"></div></div>', 'before_title' => ' ',…[Read more]

@Janis

If you can wait a couple of hours, I can post some css & stuff to get you started. Im at work right now and should be home around 4:00pm (its 1:00pm here now)

@Janis You can always widgetize your header. Here`s a great tutorial for that: http://wpmu.org/how-to-widgetize-a-page-post-header-or-any-other-template-in-wordpress/ Then, you can do one of two things to make your sidebar go away: 1 – On every template where you don’t want the sidebar to appear, you can either comment out the line where the…[Read more]

Here’s a great tutorial for a global site search:

Creating The sitewide global/unified search Page for your Buddypress Theme

@thelandman +1 on that plugin idea! phpfreechat looks like one of the most customizable scripts out there. In a multisite install, the only drawback to an out-of-the-box install of phpfreechat is that it requires its own page… meaning users can’t chat and surf the network at the same time. Docking it at the bottom of the […]

phpfreechat looks easy enough to install and customize (css, avatars, etc). The only major drawback I see is that it requires a page in order to work; meaning that users must remain on that page to chat. In a network or multisite install, even a basic Buddypress site, a chat system needs to be independent […]

@Iain Manley How about this workaround: 1 – Create a page template and copy the content of your register.php file to it. 2 – Create a blank page in WP using that template. Eg: my-custom-home-page 3 – Under “Settings” > “Reading”, select that WP page as a static page at “Front page displays”… Now your front […]

@ri-kun

That would be the item-list-tabs. Try this:

div.item-list-tabs {
border-bottom:0;
}

To target stuff like that really easily, install the Firebug addon for Firefox.

@jordashtalon Ah right… I think that “Bulk Action” only becomes available in WP3 if you have enabled Multisite. And not too sure if WP-Activate is compatible with Buddypress. Here’s an auto-activate plugin that is compatible with WP3 single:…[Read more]

@jordashtalon

In your WP dashboard, go to “Users” and check the box next to the name of the user highlighted in red. Then, select “Not Spam” from the “Bulk Actions” dropdown (top or bottom of your user list). Click “Apply”. Should do it.

@claudeg The plugin is designed to work with any child theme of bp-default. As long as the IDs of elements targeted by the plugin’s functions are the same as bp-default, it should work no problem. If the adminbar displays properly in the theme, that’s a good indicator that the plugin will work. If it doesn’t, there’s […]

Perhaps this could shed some light…

Not much documentation but perhaps a peek at the code might help. Or a little query directed at @jjj

Sorry I can’t help with troubleshooting. I just wanted to say that you’ve got a VERY cool site going there… and congrats on the writeup in Killer Startups!

@art1c

Have you tried my plugin?
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/add-all-nav-links-to-bp-adminbar

Along with enabling or disabling the “Add WordPress pages” and “Add Buddypress components” features, you have complete control over the style of the adminbar in an easy-to-use UI. Just enter the colors you want where you want them, save, and…[Read more]

Hey @r-a-y

Same plugin 😉

@claudeg “I’ve tried with a few themes but nothing really happen” Were the themes you tried child-themes of bp-default? Here are some examples of themes I’ve successfully tested the plugin on: – My custom child-theme – BP Columns 1.2 by @modemlooper – BuddyPress Widget Theme 1.2 by @modemlooper – Cosmic Buddy 1.1 RC2 by @Brajesh Singh – Darwin (…[Read more]
