That will be a great start to a new week!
A few questions…
1 – I’ve got s2member set up on my install and have already coded a membership page to display info according to level and ccaps along with various other extras. I’m guessing I’ll have to take that page down when I install bp-slick, right?
2 – Do the s2member settings in bp-slick adapt to the current install, or should the current install be reset to default settings and let the theme take over?
3 – Should I wait for theme documentation before asking more?
Just a heads up for anyone else (i.e. – n00bs like me) who wants to implement this on their site: when you insert your new API key in the code where it says [YOUR API KEY] , make sure those square brackets – [ ] – are removed. In other words, don’t just drop your key between them (like I did
) ‘cuz it ain’t gonna work.A little styling and it works & looks just fine. Check it out:
http://nowrecovery.com/members/admin/Oh crap, you’re absolutely right! That should have read position:absolute;
(Now that I’ve had my nap, my brain is working better.)
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 your header, and 150px below the top edge of the header. No width or height is defined so you can place whatever size image you want in it. Here’s how:

Hope this helps!

Thanks for pointing that out… clears things up!
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:

)
Once you have your child theme up and running smoothly, may I suggest trying my plugin: Add All Nav Links to BP-Adminbar. The plugin allows you to add pretty much whatever you want to the adminbar, style it to match the overall look and feel of your theme, and even to replace the main theme navigation with your customized adminbar. (It only modifies the adminbar on the main site; sub-blogs remain as they are.) Check it out here:

To get you started, here’s a replacement file for activity/post-form.php with a 500 character textarea limit.
http://pastebin.com/eXuSa4iKAdjust 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 contents of the pastebin file and upload to the “activity” folder of your child theme.Hope it helps!
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.htmlJust a few lines of javascript added to your page/template and an onkeyup event added to each textarea.
This works just dandy
To see it in action, log into my site with username:buzzer and pass:123abc456
Check the homepage or any member /activity/ page.
500 char limit is applied to the textarea in post-form.php
