BuddyPress.org

I would like this as it handles email, names properly but I don’t want to create login/register pages. I want to be able to add it or have it auto add itself like twit connect does.

I use the Buddypress Ajax login and twit connect adds nicely to it. It also add nicely to my wp-login page as well. Can you add this feature?

@BrainiacWebDesigns

Do you still have a plugin activated that modifies wp-login.php? If so, deactivate it.
Also check your theme’s main stylesheet to see if any styles are applied to div#login h1 a ‘cuz Firebug shows margins left & right:-90px

If you can’t find anything, try adding the following to your theme’s stylesheet to override whatever’s causing those weird margins:
div#login h1 a {margin:0; !important}

Probably the theme does not have the proper hooks in it.
It was tested with BuddyPress Default 1.2.7 theme
Where do you get that theme? I can’t find it.

@naved I’ve removed that posted file as it was causing issues and wasn’t the right type of file.

@naved and post a liunk to your site so we can see what theme you;re using.

As hnla said, don;t paste long pieces of code liek that. and you;re looking in the wrong spot. that;s a core wp file which you will never edit. the linsk will show *dynamically* in your theme.

in the theme folder that has your BP theme files. What are you actually running, is BP installed and activated, and are you using the default theme? if so the theme files live in the buddypress plugin directory but you shouldn’t edit them directly.

That is excellent news.

link to your site please.

I suspect it’s either permalinks or you haven’t finished setting up compatibility in your theme.

“and it does support sending email and has for a few new user registrations.”

So it has actually *sent* mail.

Edit:

Your server is not the problem. Not entirely anyway. I signed up to your site and got two emails – one with an activation link and one confirmation email. Exactly like I am supposed to.

So your problem is *not* the server is not sending email. The problem is some of the people signing up are not getting them. Which means it’s mostly on their end. You can do a reverse dns entry, like @hnla stated above, but really that’s all you can do for some places like Hotmail & Comcast.

one more:

by reading the code, I can see the locate_template() function comes with 3 parameters

locate_template($template_names, $load = false, $require_once = true )

the third parameter “$require_once” is ignored in buddypress and default is true

locate_template( array( ‘sidebar.php’ ), true )

that means the conflict could just happen by using something like this

locate_template( array( ‘sidebar.php’ ), true, false ); where $require_once is false.

@Pisanojm , thanks heaps! It works!

Hi Chris,

Member albums is not a feature of BP Album + however it is a feature of the next big release (1.9), you can download a nightly release of the plug-in from the link below but be aware that the plug-in isn’t finished yet and may contain bugs.

Hi,

thanks @djpaul for the instructions. We will write a patch hopefully until Friday.

I guess some things were misunderstood… to switch from right to left is easy done by css, but has nothing to do with the double sidebar conflict we need to avoid, if a plugin comes with a sidebar and we add one in the footer too.

I guess best is just to write the patch and check if it fits the needs.

To have an option page is a great idea, but more a feature for me than a bugfix. I’d like to concentrate on the basics first. Actually, to move the sidebar in the footer is one step to have options built in much more easy.

For the future, I believe the bbpress way of handling templates files is a good example and like I understood, the idea behind is that we will have no need of header, footer, sidebars and so on, we just deliver the content part and make themedesign much easier this way.

looking forward
