cool cheers.

this is/was the relevant ticket I guess?

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2203

To be honest I think the template pack broke for one of the 1.2.5 releases. I have a lot on my schedule at the moment; I will try to get time this weekend to at least figure out what’s broken, even if I can’t release an update.

@gearupandplay To limit the text try this:

for your functions.php :

function Wanna_Limit_Text($Text,$Min,$Max,$MinAddChar) {
if (strlen($Text) < $Min) {
$Limit = $Min-strlen($Text);
$Text .= $MinAddChar;
}
elseif (strlen($Text) >= $Max) {
$words = explode(” “, $Text);
$check=1;
while (strlen($Text) >= $Max) {
$c=count($words)-$check;
$Text=substr($Text,0,(strlen($words[$c])+1)*(-1));
$check++;
}
}

return $Text;
}

this for you template :

post_author )),10,90""); ?>

Where 90 is the number of characters and you just adjust that.

Good luck

Too early to bump

I’ll ask for the sake of it this is a pure install no plugins activated?

I can’t really see what the issue might be but then would normally be looking at logs or running ‘top’ to see processes working

Can’t think what to suggest other than ensure an absolutely clean install just running BP nothing else.

I wouldn’t leave your php.ini public like that for too long

That nasty hack shouldn’t be an issue and it is not so much nasty as plain illegal to place style tags as children of ‘body’

This is the ticket I raised ages ago, well I and another but wasn’t aware it was a duplicate, the style rules never were required as the adminbar was removed and didn’t require any styles to help it along, the ticket was moved here there and everywhere, but I forced the issue by moving it back from 1.3 to 1.2.6 and requested that it be dealt with as it was a simple fix so in 1.2.6 those style tags don’t exist. previously I was having to use

remove_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘bp_core_override_adminbar_css’);

If I was hiding the adminbar for logged out view.

hats off to @Chouf1 – a. for solving it, and b. for ‘tagging’ the thread as solved – we should all get into that discipline (although a button to do it automatically would be nicer)

ok… two solutions:

1. the nasty hacky – adding define (‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, TRUE) in our theme’s functions.php

Why nasty hacky: well it inserts inline CSS into our footer to hide the adminbar and remove the padding; that’s nastiest enough in itself, but it also uses !important to override anything we actually want to do – even nastier.

2. the cleaner – adding remove_action( ‘init’, ‘bp_core_add_admin_bar_css’); in our theme’s functions.php

That does the job!

Unfortunately, we have to add that in the functions.php of any additional theme we want to use. Let’s get all this presentation stuff in the default theme where it belongs (not in the core)… I’ve said this a lot recently.

It should be in the theme not in core files but it needs to load at ‘init’ ? or does it? is it that it must load before theme loads

@hnla – posting simultaneously !

follow up – it’s actually being added in the function:

bp_core_add_admin_bar_css()

in bp-core-cssjs.php

I can’t help but think this should be in the default theme, not in the core files.

/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-cssjs.php

@chouf1 – yes, I know where the adminbar.css file is. Coda is my friend

The question was, why is adminbar.css being included in other themes (even none child ones) on a multisite network? What’s injecting it, and how do we turn it off.

e.g. My theme doesn’t explicitly link to adminbar.css, here’s the snippet from the header.php:

`

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="” />
<link rel="pingback" href="” />
<?php
if ( is_singular() && get_option( ‘thread_comments’ ) )
wp_enqueue_script( ‘comment-reply’ );

wp_head();
`

No explicit inclusion of adminbar.css!

But, here’s what actually gets rendered in the browser:

`

`

The unwanted link to adminbar.css has been injected.

I assume it must be something in wp-head() doing it – is there a hook to turn it off?

Hi Roger,
the admin bar is constructed in bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php
the css file for this is in bp-themesbp-default_inccssadminbar.css

notepad++ is my friend

p.s. we have the problem in 1.2.5.2 as well

@clojel

You shouldn’t really mod the core files, as they’ll be overwritten if you upgrade. Is there any filter you can hook on to instead as an interim solution?

Certainly though, this should be added to the trac as a potential bug to be looked at.

We have the same problem with child themes in secondary sites – we’ve turned off the admin bar, we don’t have any admin bar css being included in our child theme, but still it pulls in admin bar css code from bp-default and inserts the unwanted padding.

[As an aside: does anyone know where the code is that’s injecting the admin bar css include into the header of child themes? Is it a hook on wp-footer?]

There is no WP ethos of free software for all. With all the licensing discussions going on, most people have completely misunderstood what it was all about. Free (as in the GPL software license) only means that any further development of GPL software has to be published under the same license (if the software is being released) and that, once you have the software, you can do whatever you please with it. Free does not mean, though, that you can get access to this software without paying. It’s perfectly ok to charge for GPL software.

Most developers, who charge for a plugin or premium themes, still give back to the community by answering questions in forums or uploading other plugins and themes to the WP repository. For some plugins 50+ hours have been spent on development. That’s a lot of money and time right there, but people still expect not to pay anything.

I guess we’ll be seeing more and more paid plugins and themes crop up over the next year. It’s not a bad thing, it’ll give users more choice (there usually is a free alternative around somewhere) and if someone buys a plugin/theme, then afterwards you can expect great support, which does not always happen with a free plugin.

Just me 2 cents
