@Paul
Not sure what you mean by create profile field dropdown?
I will let the users choose their role on registration (with a dropdown). Then I would like to have a prettier slug in the browser, rather then:
members/anthony
members/higgins
members/miller
have the setup from my first post in this thread.
I would like already in the slug to see that that user is an academic or whatever. It’s not crucial, but it would be a nicer way of browsing (in my eyes at least).
Also when I use the who’s online widget I would like to use it more than once in the sidebar and each instance showing different user roles. Have you got any hints on how to achieve that? Have not played with the widget yet….

Hello tiptap,
did you get your different user types/roles in the members slug ever working (as per your thread about different profiles for different user types)? Just before I start something that cannot be accomplished……
If you have I would be glad if you give me some hints or even share some code.
Sascha.
@Paul Gibbs
Ok,
if someone would know I’m sure it would be you! I will not even start fiddling around in core files then….
But, if someone has an idea, I would be glad to hear it.
Can it be put down as a feature request? I think it makes sense to separate users out (if you want to).

If you haven’t got a Menu set up for the main navigation, it will default back to the same sort of way that older versions of BuddyPress used. You’ll need to drag the BuddyPress pages into the Menu builder. It should just work 
You can always test adding non-BuddyPress-specific pages to your menu, and check that it appears in your theme. If it doesn’t, maybe we need to check which theme you’re using.
Also make sure you have assigned a page to the forums component. Under the BuddyPress admin menu is a link called pages.
No can’t see anything on my profile. Isn’t it supposed to be visible at:

Perhaps this is also why I can’t edit anything that I’ve created?
BuddyPress 1.5 uses the WordPress Navigation menus, which allow you to customize your tabs.
@piermaria
Making you aware of this topic. I’m about to say that this is a greatly appreciated feature for BuddyPress!
I found your Git repository, nice work with the update! Have you made any progress on updating the plugin for bp1.5?
Did you ever get in touch with the original author?
If that’s not the case, I think you should apply to take over the plugin group. Maybe someone on twitter can help?
Regards
That’s not in BuddyPress core, that’s from the bp-album plugin.
The code I posted above works but it’s only for BuddyPress 1.5
A thought for you @embergermedia, Remember my ratings code that i gave you earlier in this conversation? You said it couldn’t work for you unless you could make it apply to existing members too. I think i can make this happen. First you could change the code so it doesn’t create the new page at registration but rather upon joining a curtain group. Then, using the “auto join” plugin, simply cause all members to join the group. It would have to be done in that order but should get the job done and the changes in the ratings plugin should be simple enough. That being said you could probably get specific and have only a curtain group that gets rated and invite all of your “brand” customers to that group. I MIGHT use this functionality as well so let me know what you think.
@modemlooper Did you all ready got this working because i need a custom group homepage
with out a activity stream just plane text or a image banner
@valuser Thanks for your patience, and for the kind words
Bump. I agree it should at the least make its way onto a Roadmap. If I’m understanding this correctly, there is no unified user-management system in the code base itself. I know I’m significantly hacking a number of Buddypress features to work around this issue in two of my current projects, and it seems like this missing functionality is a barrier to BuddyPress’s evolution.
Just to be clear, bp-default has been fixed to do automatically what @karmatosed suggests you do manually. This is only an issue for the BP Template Pack.
In the meantime, why not just use more specific selectors?
`body button
body a.button`
etc. The ‘body’ bit essentially does nothing in terms of which element gets selected, but it forces the browser to give your rules priority because they are formally more specific than those in bp.css. Maybe not the most elegant solution, but better than using `!important`
@valuser: Are you enqueuing your CSS for the custom styles you’ve done. To me it looks like you aren’t. There are 2 things at play here:
1. You need to now enqueue any styles keeping order ie; last style you want enqueue that last
2. !important is a little like a kid sticking their hand up in class it will get paid attention to above all else – therefore yes adding !important does work but shouldn’t be what you use you should use the ‘cascading’ nature of CSS.
But I want to know how I can do it myself so I can do this with other themes as well.
If this in re BuddyPress ScholarPress Courseware, please post at plugin’s forums so plugin dev will see your post https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-courseware/forum/
The only way is to hard code
`<a href=”activity/favorites”>Your Favorites`
@thelandman hey! thanks for making me realize i had 2 jquerys called in the header..i just deleted the other jquery call and the avatar crop problem is now fixed!
