@DJPaul Interestingly?

in my browser output:
`

`
width/height attributes having been set in functions.php:
`
define ( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’, 450 );
define ( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’, 450 );
`

So it seems as the call for the avatar is a function with params in membere-header.php `bp_displayed_user_avatar( ‘type=full’ )` we are actually forcing conditions to be re parsed and thus picking up my constants in functions.php? however I expected to see somewhere in ‘bp-core-avatars.phh or ‘bp-members-template.php’ a point at which we check for the constants again after the initial setting of them but failed to work out how the function ‘bp_displayed_user_avatar( ‘type=full’ )’ is actually reading the constant. Either I am mis-understanding what’s happening here or I scanned code too quickly and missed what I was looking for.

No bp-custom.php has to run from plugins folder.

As much as one would expect functions.php to be too late in the proceedings to set a constant that is read it did/does actually work for me to change my user avatars ??

This issue of being able to effect default ‘stuff’ from themes does crop up from time to time, ideally a method that could ensure things could always be set from functions.php would be great but not sure how or if that is possible with something like Constants which by definition have to be set at earliest opportunity.

@djpaul @hnla don’t want geeks to cry, found this http://thereisnoeasterbunny.com/

@abysshorror – when you say “user/mentions” do you mean a page with a url structure like
https://buddypress.org/community/members/abysshorror/mentions

Assuming you set up the nav item with https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/functions/core/bp_core_new_nav_item/

The next part is to use the screen_function parameter, i learnt how to use it via the admin menu’s codex as the item navs are based off it… https://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Menus

Here’s a quick example i just wrote, (note: untested and i wrote it really quickly, so dont expect it to work out of the box) [Updated, see below]

To use a php file in it, you would just replace the echos with a require(‘myfile.php’); (or get_template_part) to get the php file inside the screen function.

Buddypress Albums allows users to upload photos…
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-album/

B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`

`

with the following (except for registration/register.php):

`

`

with the following for registration/register.php:
`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

C. Save files. Upload 6 BP folders to your server wp-content/themes/duotiveThemeFolder

D. You might also want to check out the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten for reference. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

Looking over your theme, you will need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your duotive theme in server during the compatibility process.

If you’ve changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility

Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive. The changes we’ll be making are using the default layout (right sidebar) for the duotive theme.

A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`

I’m also interested in this… (I don’t know how to subscribe to the topic without replying to it )

Akismet works on a string of text which it decides if it’s spam or not. I’m not sure how to do that meaningfully from a registration form.

Functions.php is too late. Use bp-custom.php or wp-config.php.

Have those users logged in to your site since you’ve installed BuddyPress? If they are new user accounts, they’ll need to have activated their account as well (they should have got an email with a link).

Group Forums still work fine. We’re using them on this very site, for example. I don’t have a date for 1.6 yet. Beta soon.

Thank you for pointing out which duotive theme you are using.

>> I do not want to change the duotive theme.

I’m not saying to change your theme. I should have been more clear, the content in page.php shows that it’s a Page Template for a Full Width Page (no sidebar). The content in index.php shows it has a sidebar. Which layout do you want for all BuddyPress templates, the full-width page or the one with a sidebar? If you want the layout with the sidebar (per index.php), post the code of loop.php file from your theme.

Paul,

We have buddypress 1.2.8 installed for a university research project. I want to upgrade the site to buddypress 1.5 so that we can use you Achievements plugin. However, doing so I realized I cannot get the bp groups forums to work and reading the above post made me realize (after days of trying to figure this out) that bp groups forums are no longer supported. Am I correct?

Will there be a fix for this in buddypress 1.6? If so, when is buddypress 1.6 projected to be released(approx.)? Thank you very much.
