Hello,
The site that I manage (www.naidw.org) has a template that we like and was originally designed by a designer. We have since parted ways with our designer but are unhappy with the functionality of buddypress within our personalized theme. Is it possible (or feasible) to customize the buddypress staples like activity, groups, etc. We like the way that the default buddypress template looks. Again though, I don’t know if it’s possible to have these pages differ from our default theme. I would really appreciate anyone’s advice and expertise! Thank you!
I’m currently working on a BuddyPress implementation for a client who has a rather interesting request: on the notifications settings page they want to change the radio buttons to checkboxes and combine all three settings pages into one page. At first glance this doesn’t seem particularly difficult – until you realize that checkboxes don’t offer you the ability to use a boolean value. A “checked” checkbox POSTs as either “yes” or its defined value… Which is fine. However, and “unchecked” checkbox doesn’t POST anything at all.
What this means is that the way the BuddyPress updates and saves its settings has to be modified. And there’s the rub: tracing back through all of the files and functions, I am unable to see exactly how it is that BuddyPress handles all of this. I have traced back to the bp-settings-actions.php file as well as bp-settings-loader.php, but I can’t figure for the life of me how it is that bp-settings-loader.php is involved in this process.
Additionally, I can’t see how the form itself that handles the settings (notifications.php) is passing the settings to the functions that do the updating to the database. The form ACTION is “echo bp_displayed_user_domain() . bp_get_settings_slug() . ‘/notifications’;” which the best I can tell is self-referential, and the submit button’s VALUE is “”. Thing is, I can’t see what the form is passing the VALUE “Save Changes” to, especially if I am correct about the ACTION being self-referential.
Anyone have any insight into how these settings are saved or what would have to be done to change those radio buttons into checkboxes? Any help is MUCH appreciated!!!
Running: WP 3.2.1 on a subdomain of my main site. It’s a fresh install of WP and BuddyPress (1.5). The only other plugins installed are bbPress (2.0) and the Buddy Press Template Pack (1.2), both installed through prompts in the BuddyPress setup/options/notifications. Using the default BuddyPress theme. Not running any errors. Hosting on Dreamhost.
Now that that’s out of the way, here’s my issue: I can’t install site-wide forums. BuddyPress claims to be able to offer site-wide forums without being group-specific. However, when I install site-wide forums, nothing on my site changes. The “Forums” link doesn’t appear, and if I navigate to /forums, there’s nothing available.
If I activate Group Forums, I get the “Forums” link – but then I can only post to a specific group. If I deactivate Group Forums, the “Forums” link disappears.
One thing I noticed is that in the bbPress settings, the “forums base” is set at “forums”, which then gives a message of “Possible BuddyPress conflict: Forums page”. This is how it is with a fresh install and without me changing any options – a conflict right away.
I’ve tried uninstalling all of the plugins and deleting them, then doing a fresh install. I hoped it would run through the step-by-step BuddyPress settings so I could start totally brand new, but no luck. I went into phpMyAdmin and deleted the tables for BuddyPress, then tried installing again hoping that a totally fresh start would help – again, no luck.
I tried changing the permalink of the “Forums” page and the “forums base” name in bbPress, but even having completely distinct names didn’t help at all.
I’d really love to use this, as it has all of the features for a site I am currently working on. I just can’t get the forums to work at all.
I’m on WP 3.1.2 Multisite and BuddyPress 1.5
I think I can function if I just get this last bit coded.
Has anyone put all sidebar navigation out of the sidebar and up into the admin/buddy bar? That’s where I’d like to have it. The only thing I have in the sidebar is the log in information.
What I’d really like to have is the code snippet to insert the widget-y stuff into the admin/buddy bar file.
