BuddyPress.org

Thanks Hugo, what exact file are you talking about? the page “groups” is assigned to the “groups” in buddypress settings. Do you just want the source from view source in my browser? I dont’ think that’s what you are asking for. Where exactly can I find the file Paul was asking for? Is it in the editor, or do I need to ftp to find it? Is it in the buddypress plugin directory?

I removed #buddypress from the css and here is what my style.css looks like:

Here is another pic to see the changes but it still needs some adjusting.

Hope you guys can help! I appreciate the help you have given so far! Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Paul. Sorry for my ignorance, I’m not schooled in themeing. What file do you want to see? When I look in the editor shouldn’t I be able to see a groups template in that list somewhere? I don’t. And the “groups” page that was created when I installed buddypress doesn’t have any code. What can I send you?

@mercime, again thanks for the quick reply. I copied the following lines of code to my theme’s sidebar.php (very bottom of the page), but nothing happens meaning the login form doesn’t show on the sidebar.  Is there a specific location in the sidebar.php file to add it?

What i meant by top menu login option is having a member login menu that would take the registered users to a login form similar to the form on the sidebar. Hope that makes sense.  Below is the code i copied to my theme’s sidebar:

[EDIT – please use pastebin.com to post long blocks of code. ~~ Mercime]

Thanks!

Sorry, I missed the array() out of my example.

The slug of my page is actually “talk-of-the-town”, it is the static front-page of the site and has the buddypress activity page assigned to it. The page id is 95.

None of these tests identify the page, although they do identify the other pages in the list:

is_page(array('page1','page2','page3','talk-of-the-town'))  ? get_template_part('filters') : get_sidebar();

is_page(array('page1','page2','page3','95'))  ? get_template_part('filters') : get_sidebar();

is_page(array('page1','page2','page3','activity'))  ? get_template_part('filters') : get_sidebar();

bp_is_page(‘activity’) does work.

I have the same problem with the groups page, btw.

The above is by way of information. The test is to load a special sidebar on certain pages, otherwise load the normal sidebar. I’m just going to reverse the test, to load the normal sidebar for other specified pages, otherwise load the special sidebar.

Thanks for your help…

Why does is_page(‘activity’) not work?

I don’t know, that’s why I posted the question.

It seems that if you have a page which you assign one of the BP pages (eg activity) to, then BP somehow hijacks it so that WP is no longer able to recognise it by its slug or, in this case, using is_front_page().

I would suggest that the best way forward is to contact the theme author – Parallelus

In the DynamiX theme I had to edit out a line in dynamix/functions.php

wp_enqueue_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ), $version );

Unfortunately adding add_theme_support( ‘buddypress’ ); is not the answer, though it is certainly something theme authors need to look at for their future updates.

I also own the Salutation theme and after a quick peek I can not find the same or similar string as I posted above.

No point in both of us contacting the author so if you get any joy from them, please let me know how you got on. It will come in very handy, as I plan to use the theme at some point in the future.

In your enquiry to theme author, I would suggest linking them to the top post here: http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/author/boonebgorges/

It will help them in their investigation.

Again, please do let me know your outcome.

Thanks

OK, I tried using bp_is_page(‘activity’) and it [correction] DOES work,

but I noticed dipping into the BP files that bp_is_page() is deprecated.

There is no way to recognise the page using WP core functions is_page() or is_front_page(), true?

Thanks @mercime,

But I understand how it’s suppossed to work. However, I removed “Forums” from the Setting->BuddyPress->Pages Tab. Now I have this:

So what do you do now in BuddyPress 1.7? There should probably be an option to add forums like the initial install has?

I released the plugin..

Still not right, although I format the code as code, it does not quite post correctly.
