BuddyPress.org

Oops !

i’m customize the buddypress template files in bp-legacy folder in buddypress plugin directory.

Don’t that, as at next BP update your work will be overridden.

Message URL’s are built dynamically. So you can’t fetch them diretly from within the template. You need a custom function to do that and use it from your theme’s functions.php.

Read in file bp-messages/bp-messages-classes.php

Read this topic for some inspiration.

Using firefox on http://animalsfunnypictures.com/members/sanaa/ I can see entry-content img { which has a width: 510px if i disable it in firefox it becomes the ‘normal’ size.

This is coming from Marla theme’s style.css on line 1464 – see for yourself…

have you salt keys in your wp-content.php ?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18771957/wordpress-does-not-properly-display-css-file

and use the given script to check the db.

aside, @r-a-y responded on the ticket. Unsurprisingly, like me, he couldn’t replicate the issue

Which theme do you use ?
And have you already created a child-theme ?

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

Generally such modification can be done by CSS.

There might actually be more things you’d need to do. For example, the bp_get_message_thread_avatar() function uses bp_core_fetch_avatar() so you would need to filter that using bp_get_message_thread_avatar etc.

Unless someone else knows of an easier way, it seems as though it’ll be a big task of going through everything. You’d also need to be comfortable with PHP.

Alternatively, you could try disabling avatars by adding this to your bp-custom.php file

define( 'BP_SHOW_AVATARS', false );

Note: I’ve not tested that, I’m just going on what I see at the beginning of the bp_core_fetch_avatar() function. i.e:

// If avatars are disabled for the root site, obey that request and bail
if ( ! buddypress()->avatar->show_avatars )
   return;

ok, supposing you did a translation file (even if you use english by default) to test the above solution and assuming it hasn’t work, let’s try the hard way.

Add this to functions.php, it will force gettext to translate the string.

function bpfr_force_translation( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {
		
	if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain )  
	return $translated; 
	
	switch ( $original_text ) {
		
		case 'Registering for this site is easy, just fill in the fields below and we'll get a new account set up for you in no time.':
		return 'Join PushkarGuide.com - share your experience, thoughts about this pretty town Pushkar (INDIA).';
		
		default:
		return $translated;
	}
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'bpfr_force_translation', 10, 3 );

If it doesn’t work i have no other solution to propose.

If your theme doesn’t explicitly use BuddyPress templates then the default templates will be used. For a quick look at the templates check out the GitHub repo.

I’m guessing your theme doesn’t explicitly use the templates so what you’d have to do is create them yourself. The general idea is to create a folder called buddypress inside your theme and then add the templates you’d like to customise to that folder. So for example, you’d end up with /wp-content/themes/your-theme/buddypress/. Everything goes inside there.

It will do, sort of indirectly, actually. For more info on how it works, check out the Template Hierarchy article.

Hi @elshobokshy

Take a look at Customizing BuddyPress Avatars

Hi @multimartin

I just tried searching the WP plugin repo and came across an old plugin that may be of some help. Take a look at Remove Avatars

there are only two files […] which need to be modified.

False.

If you use the old BP-default theme, you only modify a copy of bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php placed in your child-theme

If you use any other theme, you modify only bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php
placed in the child /your-child-theme/buddypress/members/register.php

The one or the other, but not both. And don’t forget that you should never modify core files, as your work will be lost at the next BP update. That’s why child-theme exist and is so important for customization.

If this change doesn’t work (but it should), you have to try something different.

Create a language file containing only the mentionned string.
Read here.

Do you already use a language file ? §Is your site in english ? If not indicate the used language.
And gave your plugin list and theme name. It could be you have somewhere a conflict with ajax who block something on the registration page.

Asking for help and guidance is OK. But asking for doing the job at your place is something completely different. How much do you estimate my work ? The one already done and the one you ask for now ? If you need a professionnal, you can post on the Job Board to hire a freeelancer.

I told you how to accomplish it.
You use a theme that i even don’t know the name, and which is most probably a Premium theme.
How to customize it is certainly explained on the theme support. And if it’s Premium, you already payed for this service, so use it and if you don’t know, ask there.

I would be grateful is someone could suggest why the file is not contained within the folder.

Once upon a time, after very looooooong and ice cold winter, a wolf came out of the deep forest. He was so hungry that he eat the index file. Miam ! 🙄

Do not thank me. My pleasure. 😉

If you’re looking in buddypress/bp-activity/ folder, it’s normal that it doesn’t contain a index.php file. It’s a core folder who works internaly.

The index you search is in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/index.php
Note: this file is only the index for activities.

If it is not the case, don’t worry. Reload a fresh copy and pray that it is not corrupted during the FTP transfer.

Don’t know which tutorial you follow, but if you learn BP, read absolutely the Codex.
If, as i guess, your concern is theming, see here:

@saurabhsjain91
you asked for searching members by xprofile value. You want this on the member directory or in the backend ?

Add custom filters to loops and enjoy them within your plugin

See xprofile in Conclusion chapter.

@fabius219,

bp_core_general_settings_before_submit is not a function but an action hook.

bp_core_general_settings_before_submit

@cwjordan, maybe interesting things to find
