Hi to all, i will tell you my little experience with the subject.

First of all: How does the global tags blog work? Simple, when someone makes a post, WPMU triggers an event. Basically there is a plugin that is hooked to that event, and when the post is made, it copies the post to a TAG blog (typically “invisible” and with a modified template, i will try not to extend here). But it dupplicates the post in the tag blog, and when you wanna show a cool plugin with al the site tags, you add the standard WP tag function instantiating that blog.

THE PROBLEM WITH BUDDYPRESS:

Inspite that in the PHP code of buddypress tries to evaluate, reading the options of WPMU if the POST comes from the TAG BLOG, it fails, cause there is an environment problem there. $BP and $WP* does not bring the correct actual blog id from the Blog where the post was made (Tag blog) so it thinks it´s a new entry, so boom, it keeps on publishing, POST – HOOK – POST – HOOK etc… until the buffer makes a little BOOM!. And it stops.

What i did (i figured this problem the first time i installed buddypress) and maybe it´s not the best answer to your problem, is to use my own post indexer (i was using that plugin before for other reasons) so i took the HOOK of SAVED or PUBLISH i don´t remember and i am triggering the BP post record function directly from my plugin.

But the important thing is that, the BP code is perfect at that point, it tries to evaluate if the blog is the TAGS BLOG, but there´s a problem with the environment $BP or $WP**** at that point, so the BLOG_ID is messed.

Hope it helps Andy.

Andy i just tested and the members theme still has problems on profiles groups etc in IE6.

Cheers,

[@thezohan10 Member 16 years, 1 month ago]

The pages are viewable on IE6 but they look broken, dissordered, use: http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/ to test in iexplorer browsers without installing anything.

Who said it does not work it gives 404 must have IE7 and IE6 installed at the same time, and tryied to launch ie6… i guess, that usually does not work… if you want to test iexplore versions INSTALLED at the same time google MULTIPLEIEs application,download it and install it, or just use ttp://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/

cheers.

Ok, the widget title color is inherited in the H2 tag declared before… so, if you want to change the color, i would add the: “add this” at the style sheet. The welcome widget has its own class declared down or up, if you want to change the h2 color of the welcome title look at the code and put your color there, but it´s explicitly declared so change the color.

.widget {

margin: 0 0 25px 0;

}

h2.widgettitle {

/* add this */

color: red !important;

/* end of add this */

padding: 3px 8px;

margin-bottom: 5px;

height: 36px;

font-weight: bold;

}

[@thezohan10 Member 16 years, 1 month ago]

To accomplish that, yu have to change the style sheet from the “buddypress” theme CSS (style.css), of course if you are using it for the home theme.

And remember that when you access to a member option, the theme used is the “buddypress-member” look 4 the style.css on the folder and make the changes too, i did so to have a correspondence between site colors.

#admin-bar(correct name) li:hover, #admin-bar(correct name) li.hover {

position: static;

}

Seems to HELP with the persistance problem of the menus in ie7 and it works ok in FF3

but the other problems still happening

[@thezohan10 Member 16 years, 1 month ago]

Excellent, thank you very much

[@thezohan10 Member 16 years, 1 month ago]

I totally agree with you Todd. I thought copying the bp-wire and modifing it, but, the most common practice, is to have a DATE, TITLE, a PICTURE and a TEXT, to describe the event… And then a WIDGET of course showing all events on the main page (to start).

i´m thinking about it.

[@thezohan10 Member 16 years, 1 month ago]

Pio, thanks for your answer, i solved it, of course creating a CVS file for my option.

Thanks!

[@thezohan10 Member 16 years, 1 month ago]

I tried to fix the bar again, without success of course…

I don´t understand why this thread does not have more posters. It´s a Major problem!! as we know, IE7 has a big portion from the pie of our users, come on PPL! myself solving this issue, is like a little child armed with a fork having to fight for life with 10 deadly hungry lions with poisoned teeths.

[@thezohan10 Member 16 years, 1 month ago]

I was just thinking about that issue…

I have 2 proposals…

1) One a video album like the upcomming photo album etc.. as you mentioned

2) Sidewide plugin, that searches all the embebbed videos posted on the blogs, and shows them in the front page of the site. (I´m looking for this right now, and i will post if i have good news)

[@thezohan10 Member 16 years, 1 month ago]

Damn, i must have missed some trunk file grrrrrrrrr couse it does not work for me, i´ll take a deep look at that. Thanks!

[@thezohan10 Member 16 years, 1 month ago]

is there any IE 7.0 Guru? i spent 5 hours trying to fix this, and my success was to be able to restore my backup, cause i managed to break everything that existed before and worked alright.

[@thezohan10 Member 16 years, 1 month ago]

Bumping the thread. Still no news about the Admin bar working in iExplorer 7.0?

Thanks

[@thezohan10 Member 16 years, 1 month ago]

Andy, the IE7 is not working yet, isn´t it?

I´m just checking if it´s only me, or everybody.

Cheers.

Keep on doing that magic Andy.

Thanks.
