BuddyPress.org

site-wide.css loads on all pages regardless of the theme. It’s only useful if you have a consistent theme for the site. Don’t use it otherwise.

Well, as you’ve found out, it doesn’t. I’m not sure if this a wpmu feature or not. If you think it should work differently, write up an enhancement ticket and put it on trac.

the 200usd is from the specifications shown below:

– get the current media plugin

– adapt it for buddypress

but if the specs are different, the cost will change

Because BuddyPress is not even 1.0 yet, it means that a lot of the code has evolved and changed quite a bit since the beginning. There have been almost 1400 code revisions since tracking started.

Choosing to develop a plugin for BuddyPress right now means staying pretty close to the bleeding edge of the development cycle because chances are that your plugin could be broken tomorrow through no fault of your own. Most current plugin authors are aware of this, and there has been pretty good response time to bugs and fixes. Usually within a day or so.

There are a couple of files that can be used that bp looks for. You\’ll need to create them. In the themes, if you create custom.css in the /css directory it overrides the css for each theme. Also in the home theme or your custom theme if you create a file called /css/site-wide.css that overrides all css generated by bp.

That way you don’t need to modify the distributed css files and your upgrade experience will be much happier.

If you can afford to wait until RC2 comes out before installing BuddyPress, it’s coming soon and might save you some headaches as well. And I don’t just mean like someday soon, I mean like really soon.

Hi

Profile / members pages uses a separate theme and thus you will need to modify its css as well, under /www/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member

Perhaps someone will write us a global css plugin that allows css editing from WPMU dashboard?

Candace81,

I’m going to guess that WordPress MU 2.7.1 doesn’t play nicely with BuddyPress RC1.

However, I’m going to try them out and see if I run into these same issues.

If you can give me a half-hour to install and configure and get back here, that would be awesome.

Worst case scenario, I’ll point you in the direction of how to download the trunk. BuddyPress RC2 will most likely be out by the end of the week (still have some minor things to test and clean-up before release.)

That would be wpmu from here: https://mu.wordpress.org/download/

And bp from here: https://buddypress.org/download/

Those two would be the latest official releases. Where did you put bp? That version of bp should go in /mu-plugins. You should have a bunch of files like bp-core.php, bp-<whatever>.php in that dir and also a bunch of subdirs like /mu-plugins/bp-activity, /mu-plugins/bp-<whatever>

That what you have running?

What do you think about http://www.hotforweb.com?

I was getting nothing because the class methods are not designed to be called from a template loop. Not using a user id defaults to the current user id viewing the member theme page and that’s not valid for anything inside a template loop.

Anyway I posted a ticket with a fn to get at the current loop user id. https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/684

Here’s is mine http://blogcastor.com with a custom theme

in the buddypress_home theme css folder

try adding a direct link to style sheet in header

<link rel=\”stylesheet\” href=\”http://illdesigned.com/user/wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/css/base.css\” type=\”text/css\” media=\”screen\” />

If you mean on a user’s profile page, i.e. http://example.com/members/13hulyo/, you can’t. This will be an enhancement that might come in future versions of BuddyPress. You can edit the source files and change the order I believe but a) I don’t know how to do that b) you will have to make the change every time you upgrade and c) so I don’t recommend.

Auwagner-

I\’m running the latest WPMU (2.7)

Then you’re not running either WPMU 2.7.1-beta1 or -beta2?

If that is the case, then this is the issue. WPMU 2.7.1 has been required since BuddyPress r1303.

Fortunately, you’re in luck! WPMU 2.7.1 was just officially released this afternoon. Read this ( http://ocaoimh.ie/2009/04/21/wordpress-mu-271/ ) and get it here: https://mu.wordpress.org/download/

That link disappears when you don’t have the blogs component activated. Deactivate in the wp back end BuddyPress > Component Setup

See the other thread on this, but your host is injecting ad code into the loader.php that pulls the stylesheet.

view source on:

http://illdesigned.com/user/barrymadden/wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/css/loader.php

is it possible to make certain components of profiles to be viewed for members only?

Not yet. I’m working on a privacy plugin that will allow control at the profile group level. Andy is working on an overall privacy component for BuddyPress. No timeline for either.

Until then, try this: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=39

as near as I can tell,

/wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/css/loader.php

is not pulling the stylesheet properly. I would guess that the problem is coming from your host, as they are trying to inject an iframe into that page upon execution.
