I am running MAMP on a mac OS, I followed andys instuctions in a former post, I have a custom theme that I used so I copied the functions files to the members theme as per the instuctions as well as the functions from the home theme to my home theme.
It is not a cache issue or cookies or anything, it physically was not loading the style sheet which is stored in bp-themes/bp-members/css/directories.css, I got it working by putting the name into the loader.php file which is stored in the same place.
what I need now though is the header.php that is called within the groups/index.php and members/index.php because they are now stored in bp-themes/bp-members it calls the wrong header
Hey John, Im running locally right now, but What happened was I updated to latest branch of WPMU, and latest trunk of BP.
what happened was all pages displayed, but Members and groups did not display properly
according to the source code (ala firebug) the directories css file was not being loaded, therefore my “directories” were not styled properly making the letterlist run down the page the search ran into the groups and all sorts of bad things.
I then checked the loader.php file to see if directories.css was being called, and it in fact wasnt so I added it to the list of css files to be called.
after I did that everything displayed properly except that the width of the sidebar and main column was only about 3/4 across the page so I gave #main a width of 100% percent and now everything looks right except…
header.php that is called is stored in bp memebers which is a different header then the one I have in bp-home, Is there a way I can specifically call the bp-home header within the bp-memeberdirectories/groups/index.php and bp-memeber/directories/memebers/index.php
Final post, I got eveything working using the above mentioned fix, it appears the loader.php stored in the CSS was not loading directories css so maybe andy could take a look at that. Also the header is in fact linked, but its the members header, which my members header is different than my Home theme header, could anyone tell me how I could include my header that is stored in themes/buddypress-home rather than the memebers one? thanks
Ok another update Im on to something here, so I know the loader loads the css and it appears the css for the directories is not being loaded so I added this to the loader.php
echo “@import url(directories.css);\n”; but I dont know what that function is called so I left out if fuction (”) exists.
this yielded the result of my groups and members pages being properly styled except I am still missing the sidebar and header
Everything else works fine I even got the BP-DEV plugins working, besides lightbox. I wish andy would take notice of this thread. every page works including groups and memebers its just that groups and member pages display the letterlist vertically, and the header.php and sidebar.php are not called
yea I have checked with firebug also, its weird it appears the Header is not being called and neither is the sidebar, let me check my css file for directories.css and Ill get right back
Hey robert, This is the post I followed and \”directories\” is in the bp-themes/buddypress-member theme is this correct? becasue if so its not being recognized. Do I strip them from the folder and throw them in the corrosponding folders or something? thanks for the quick reply previously
::Edit::
Actually I just read what you posted again, my problem is that the blogs/groups/members display but the letter list runs straight down and the layout is incorrect. Is my solution just to style the pages over ? because I dont even have the sidebar on the page, do I need to add the sidbar php and header and style accordingly? just a thought,thanks again
thanks for responding so fast burt, would it have something to do with the fact that im using this locally with MAMP? the path that wpmu is in is MAMP/mysite/wpmu and the home domain is my-comupter.local/mysite/wpmu/ so should it work?
I noticed that burtasit’s plugin directs you to URL/members/username I need this to direct to URL/subdirectory/members/username, Is there a quick fix to my problem?
still no go, replaced and everything but still displays in a straight list vertically and no header or sidebar
