BuddyPress.org

@naijaping what theme are you using and how are nav items generated in your theme? If you’re using child theme of bp-default, there are CSS classes automatically which you can target for styling currently selected items.

For BP 1.2.9 there’s .selected and .current_page_item classes
`ul#nav li.selected a, ul#nav li.current_page_item a {
background: #f5f5f5;
color: #555;
}`

For upcoming BP 1.5 bp-default using wp_nav_menu, there’s .selected, .current-menu-item, .current_page_item, and even current_page_ancestor
`#nav li.selected a,
#nav > li.current-menu-item a,
#nav > li.current_page_item a,
#nav > li.current_page_ancestor a {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #F5F5F5;
color: #4D4D4D;
}`

The BuddyPress skeleton component plugin is a base example o how to create new tabs/pages for users.

it will create a slug like /member/user/example

Yes, applicable information does need to get to the codex; thanks for helping!

@foxly I can’t say “thanks” enough for the effort you guys are putting into 1.5 compatibility. This is a *huge* help to the community (and benefits you too, since it gets 1.5 out sooner )

It’ll be great to get @karmatosed write-access to the google doc. She has stepped up and taken a leadership role with a 1.5-compat codex page and with this forum thread, and it will be great for you to combine your resources – BP Media checking compatibility in-house, and @karmatosed (and others) collecting reports, etc from the forums.

Again, thanks so much.

@boonebgorges You’re welcome …

We’ve thrown some resources your way!

1) Our testers are currently checking every BuddyPress plugin with > 1000 downloads. Our throughput is about thirty a day. Thus far, 85% fail (as in cannot be used) rate.

http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/wiki/DOCS_BP_OnePointFive

@karmatosed …email me [CarlRoett] -at- [Gmail.com] and we’ll give you write access to the spreadsheet and wiki.

2) Our core devs are currently building a wiki to help other developers transition their plugins. Estimated finished in 2 days.

http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/wiki/DOCS_BP_FixingPlugins

3) OurSIGINT guys are doing their best to contact everyone with incompatible plugins and give them a “heads up”. We didn’t know about 1.5 until we stumbled across it in the forum, and we suspect the situation is similar for many other developers.

Hope this helps get things rolling!

Can you tell we really, really want 1.5 released to production…

I don’t know if it is exactly what you had in mind, but I’d like to see the ability to +1/Like/Vote up any particular content in Buddypress, so I submitted a feature request ticket.

@foxly Thanks so much for the kind words! Means a lot coming from a seasoned dev like yourself. Looking forward to seeing you in the dev chat!

@mercime, thanks for this, exactly what i wanted. but there is another problem. how can i Highlight a page that has no page id number? e.g Home, Activities, Members, Group. have tried this ul#nav li.Home a {color: #FF0000; } but didnt work.

@foxly I vote for cake

Reposting the spam is not going to help at all.

@davidtcarson How can I get the theme to work?
@intermike How did you get it to work?

The theme comes out all mixed up

Please help me fix it. The theme’s screenshots look amazing, I hope I can get it to work.
Thanks.

Did you look in the skeleton component? Not sure if this will work but you create a page/tab/slug attached to a root slug with something like this.

`function bp_foo_setup_nav() {
global $bp;

bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘My Slug’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘slug’ => ‘foo’,
‘parent_slug’ => $bp->BP_MEMBERS_SLUG->slug,
‘parent_url’ => $BP_MEMBERS_SLUG,
‘screen_function’ => ‘bp_foo_page’,
‘position’ => 10
) );

}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_foo_setup_nav’ );`

@karmatosed

BuddyPress Media is now fully compatible with BuddyPress 1.5. We have a beta version available at the link below, and we’ll issue a release to production next week (once our test team are finished with it).

http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/downloads/detail?name=bp-album_2011-08-07_BETA.zip

When listing us on the compatible plugins page, please list us as “BuddyPress Media”, and link to this URL: “http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/”. BP-Album will *cease to exist* after BuddyPress 1.5 is released (it will turn into BuddyPress Media).

On behalf of the Buddypress Media team, congratulations on your new release. We’ve spent the past three days going through your code, and we’re just *astonished* at the improvements in structure, efficiency, and documentation!

This could be worth cake …

We’ll be dropping by your dev chat this Wednesday to bombard you with questions and talk about what we can do to help get other key plugins working with 1.5 as quickly as possible.

See you there!

@davidtcarson No I wasn’t, but thanks, that took care of the Admin Bar problem.

This appears to be a child theme issue. Take a look at some of the later replies in the article you mentioned. I was having this problem and I switched to a non-child theme and the problem was fixed.

Try moving the buddypress folders (specifically the members/single/plugins.php and same in groups files) to your child theme if you need to keep the child theme flexibility.

VIsit: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/none-of-the-member-links-are-working?replies=17 to read an open thread on this issue (or a very similar one).

We are trying to do it in base from mapology plugin maps, and custom post.
