BuddyPress.org

@goviral Closed your other thread with basically the same questions.

1. To remove commenting (and comment button) in activity stream,

Just add this to your theme’s functions.php file

`// Do not allow commenting in activity stream
add_filter(‘bp_activity_can_comment’,’__return_false’);`

2. is there any way I can change other buttons/icons through the child theme?

Simplest way is to use text-indent to the specific button and add the image background. For example, for the Activity Favorite button, you’d add something like this in your theme’s style.css file

`#activity-stream .activity-meta .fav {
background: #000 url(“images/myfavoriteimage.png”) 0 0 no-repeat;
text-indent: -9999px;
}`

then change background color or image when you hover over the favorite link. Use Firefox add-on Firebug or use Chrome developer to identify selectors to change styles/values for in your stylesheet.

Got a 404 on your link and BuddyPress was not activated in your install when I checked it.

BP requires pretty permalinks. Go to Settings > Permalinks and set permalink to other than what’s there on default.

Hello @chouf1,

you can fix it by css :

#toto span{
float:left;
margin:5px;
}

But at line 4 of your code don’t forget to close the li tag
..."_blank">Users</a> </LI>';

Hi,

maybe try this plugin ?

Hi, you don’t need to copy default.css to your child theme. Use instead style.css in the child theme and add your changes to the specific part taken from default.

Example: let’s say you want to change the width of div#content .left-menu from 170 to 200px
in default.css you have

`div#content .left-menu {
float: left;
width: 170px;
}`

In your child theme, you write this in the style.css file

`div#content .left-menu {
width: 200px;
}`

Hi,

you can use the code above “as is” and yes, you got the right path to topic.php

Hi,

perhaps read this on codex ?
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/

I’d love to find out about this too. BuddyPress is awesome and would be fantastic in an app!

No, you’d need to create a totally different plugin to add signature to the Group Forums as it’s using the bbPress 1.0 custom BuddyPress version while that plugin is for the totally revamped bbPress 2.+ .

There was a plugin for the old BP1.2/bbPress1.+ but it was not updated for BP 1.5 https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-forum-extras/ you could try to update yourself or hire a developer to do so.

Other than the above, you could wait for BP 1.6 where Group Forums will be migrated over to bbPress 2.+ Sitewide Forums where you could use the signature plugin.

@karljung from your post at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/compatability-with-enews-theme-from-elegant-themes/

I just checked out the BP pages in your site. Looks like you’ve already completed the major part of the compatibility process. The layout structure looks good and you only need to tweak the styles to correct some vertical spacing and removing the bullets from ordered lists, etc.

@karljung let’s bring it back to your original topic https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/begging-plz-help-buddypress-default-theme-clashes-issues-with-suffusion/

@aarc I didn’t notice that the code got messed up above before I left the forums, sorry about that.

Delete the current content of your sidebar-buddypress.php file. Replace it with the cleaned up code above and upload to server.

Oh, now I won’t feel so bad when I can’t find the search function.

Thanks
