Ok, updating to 2.8.5 … it’s a rather big update so I’m a tad nervous.
I also still need to document how the custom pallettes work and how to add your own. Aaaaand I think it’s time for me to upgrade my WP to 3.0 and make sure the plugin works on that.
Otherwise, I’m keeping my toes crossed.

Oh, and a free lollypop for the user that found the bug. 😉

Hmmm, next release is a bit far away, so I added the missing line of code and have committed it to the repo as a x.x.1 release. If you want to see the current work-in-progress version, let me know and I will PM you a URL. 🙂

Still tinkering with the next release. Most of the functionality is done, but I am working on some sample themes. The code is a bit clunky in places, but stable, at least – I will fix that a bit later (the clunk, that is).

@rustybroomhandle, Whoa, one of our users found a huge security issue.
Non-admins can edit the CSS files by directly going to: http://WEBSITE-NAME.com/groups/GROUP-NAME/admin/groupcss
Could we fix this in the next release?

I’ll be commmitting a stable release this week. There’s a bajillion changes and the hop from 0.8 to 0.9 will seem a bit small for the amount of new stuff. The version numbers are screwy though since this was never meant to be more than just the two CSS features, and has since exploded into […]

@pcwriter The colour selector thingy is almost done. For your purposes you’ll be able to switch off the advanced css stuff and just have the colour selector and/or the wallpaper thingymaboo available to your users. It works by loading a css template with 6 custom colours. I’ll work on making it such that if you choose […]

On the site I am building that i pilfered this from initially, I do have Groupblog running, and it does indeed work there. I may have stripped out the necessary code to make this version work with it, but I’ll be sure to plonk it back in before I call it 1.0. 🙂 And by […]

I’m working on a plugin that lets group administrators theme their group pages. Two of the methods involve there being custom css themes that the user can choose from. 1. Group themes: These are straight-up themes that work much like WP/BP themes work, and uses the same format for style.css, except that it’s just css […]

Oh. and I should probably rename the admin tab to something like Group Theme or suchlike,

How about “Customize Page” for an admin link?

rustybroomhandle posted an update in the group Buddypress Group CSS: 14 years, 5 months ago
Been tinkering. The “roadmap” now looks something like this:
– Building the ‘manual theming’ module, which lets group admins edit theme colours one by one using a graphical colour picker, and also upload or link to (undecided) a wallpaper.
– Above modules, as with the current ones are toggle-able by the site admin. If site admin has both the…[Read more]-

I take that back. I’ll make the Twitter-like thingy next. 😛

Probably will do that in time. For now I will focus on bug fixes and code cleanup, and then after version 1, we’ll see about extending the features.

Hehe, gotcha – so that people can’t hide your ads and such, you mean. The ‘ban list’ should prolly be a site-admin configurable thing. I’ll look into that later on. If I ban, for example “display: none” a cunning user could still do it with “overflow: hidden; margin: -10000px” or similar, so the list of allowed styles will be quite short. 😉 I…[Read more]

My suggestion is to make all your preset themes just be wallpapers. I should probably come up with an easier way to add/delete themes. And perhaps also a place to post/download new ones. I don’t want to distribute bunches of themes with the core package.

how about a way for users to upload wallpaper images? (obviously a whole new layer of complexity)

Ohhh, doi, I’m a doofus… you meant for members to personalise their profiles pages. Yes, very good idea. As for css interfering. It’s more or less the idea. In fact, on the site where this all began, group pages are so wildly altered that they pretty much each serve as a standalone site. It’s like multiple blogs without the blogs. I guess the…[Read more]

gotcha…my site is soooo styled, I’m not sure how much freedom I want to give members to tweak the css…maybe a few elements…hmmm.
Wallpaper, on the other hand, seems like a no brainer. I’ve got a fixed-width site and background customized wallpaper makes a lot of sense.
Maybe that’s separate plugin…

@gregfielding Thanks for the thoughts/comments.
Lessee…
1. I have thought about it, and might still implement it as another option in addition to the three currently available. I’ll keep the presets though, since a site admin might have several content generating plugins active, such as group wiki, group blog etc, that might not necessarily…[Read more]

The more I think through this, the more I think the most practical application is the body wallpaper. Most users are already familiar with the concept and it wouldn’t interfere with the site styling the way that css tweaks would. Not that there isn’t a place for css tweaks and themes, but the wallpaper option might be more used.
I would love to…[Read more]

Just updated again. This is a scary one since it introduces a few big features. For now this will be the last new features added so I can do some bulletproofing and make sure the code is a good as it can be.
The most significant update is the ability to let group admins choose from preset themes. These are managed in a similar way to regular…[Read more]
