This seems highly interesting!

Hi!

Do you mean the adminbar (showing at the very top of the page, it says Buddypress to the left) or the navbar (containing only links to blogs, wire, profile, groups, etc and the subnavbar)?

[@toregus Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

Oh, the Ravatar plugin doesn’t seem to work at all, so forget about that…

[@toregus Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

Fantastic! I hadn’t seen your post. I’m used to have email updates from forums (I’ve seen that on the roadmap).

Thanks for the info on 1.1 also! I’ve checked the IRC for daily updates and it seems there’s lots of changes coming.

Now I can get back on track.

[@toregus Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

Just a friendly bump. I haven’t managed to find this out by myself.

[@toregus Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

I’m using the WordPress P2-theme for this functionality. It won’t be integrated into Buddypress like the status update (since it’s a WP theme), but its the right thing for me. You might want to consider it.

I worked with building a website for academics in psychology in my country. After two years of hard work the website lives on its own pretty much. I’ve found that in my population of interest there’s 1 out of 10 who will actively participate; write something. The rest will just read and lurk. That means that you should calculate with this in mind.

You could always try to partner with that Ning-network and build something with them. If you’ve got an interesting system they might be interested.

I’m about to build my second community and have lots of contacts to get help from now. I’ve got them from the first project so all the hard work has paid off. I’m going to ask them to help me. They will be able to invite people to the network (WPMU plugin). It won’t be spam like (as per DJ Pauls comment).

Hi!

I’m altering the bp-member-theme to go along with P2. But these two components lay inside of a theme I’ve made with artisteer. There’s a lot of hacking code to make it all work but I’m beginning to like the result.

The reason I’m editing bpmember is that I want horizontal navigation and not vertical. This has been quite easy to edit but has taken me some time. I’ve had no experience with BP before and just a little with WP.

I’ve written about putting P2 in another theme before. You can find it here:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/294161

Anyway.. Editing P2 is way simpler than editing the whole of bphome/bpmember. It all depends on how much you want integreated in one “seamless look”.

Best of luck!

[@toregus Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

I just found out a much simpler way to do this. Edit base.css like below. Just add display : none.

#userbar ul li a#my-activity {

-moz-background-clip:border;

-moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;

-moz-background-origin:padding;

background:transparent url(../images/icons/activity_bullet.gif) no-repeat scroll 16px 50%;

display:none;

}

Hi!

It would be fantastic to have the ability to use the My blogs this way. With the upcoming BP feature (as per the roadmap):

Blogs:

* A quick post form via the theme

.. this would be a welcome addition! I’ll only be using one blog for all the users so this would be fantastic!

I’m also having the same problem. Latest stable WP and BP.

[@toregus Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

@ Hyrxx

I can’t seem to find it. Remember any other details?

[@toregus Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

Found the answer here:

[@toregus Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

BP-member-theme is made so that there are two menues at the left side. Even the graphic hints at that since there are two “hardcoded” grey backgrounds at the far left. If you’d remove the userbar & optionsbar there would still be two grey areas there.

I’m modifying the bp-member-theme and putting horizontal navigation on my BP webite. When doing it that way you could do a workaround to not show the userbar/optionsbar at some webpages. You could do it if you take away the call for nav-bar in the header.php. Then you’d have to add that call to all pages you want the userbar/optionsbar to appear.

But as far as BP-member theme goes you’d have to do something about those grey background-areas if you remove the userbar/optionsbar.

[@toregus Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

Thanks J^3.

By doing this, I also learned how the optionsbar and the userbar play together.

Hi Jodyw1!

Can you please show how you did that? I’m trying to remove some things from the userbar as well. Activity and log out/in has to go (but I still want the functionality).

This interests me as well. Tried searching and got this:

* Example of a component that is NOT a root component:

581 * Friends: http://domain.com/members/andy/friends

582 * http://community.domain.com/members/andy/friends

583 * http://domain.com/wpmu/members/andy/friends

584 *

[@toregus Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

Okay! I got this after a lot of bug searching. I didn’t have the right adress between the css-file and images.

This is resolved and you may delete this thread.

You have to edit it by hand. You can use the Firebug addon to Firefox to get help with which CSS-code to change.

As far as I know, you only need to do the editing in custom.css. It should override the original settings.
