BuddyPress.org

By & large the point was/is with the BP theme compatibility styles that they do  or provide as little styling as possible, to slot into a theme BP has to render just very simple positioning styles more than anything, leaving the theme to provide styles.

You will need to look at the mechanisms the theme provides for adding styles and provide adjustments where the theme causes issues for BP elements.

BP provides a top level namespace type token #buddypress so using that you can apply styles that have a higher specificity.

First.. let me say.. I highly appreciate everyones efforts..

— A paid plugin doesnt guarantee non-breakage…

putting aside the conversation of “hey its free stop complaining” — there should be more efforts like “CBOX” and/or a better ranking system that addresses:

1) Does this plugin work well
2) What are the best plugins that work to do xyz..
3) A better response to forum questions/inquiry..

again.. I highly respect everyone here.. @modemlooper is a kick ass developer and wish i can afford his services…

— But I do think theres gotta be a recognition that… BP & the BP Plugin forums support can use improvement..

It would be unprofessional to say one media plugin over another is better on BuddyPress.org. If it’s not in core then it’s up to you to obtain the additional components to your site. It’s been great that there have been free offerings for a media plugin but I would sleep better buying a paid plugin that I knew was not going to break.

As for no media plugin working with 1.7, 1.7 hasn’t been released. Beta periods are when plugins get updated.

its obvious that theres a lack of clarity if the questions been asked over and over again, because one can only assume that a satisfactory answer has not been achieved

Why is it obvious there’s a lack of clarity? The question of media keeps getting dragged up because people want that elusive magical full on solution available right now for free – or so it seems?

There are  three available media offerings, and media capability to any great degree is in the hands of plugins it’s not a core issue. There are far more fundamental things the small core dev team need to focus on and it’s not things like this.

Take questions about media directly to the plugin authors, hassle bp-media ask why it’s still not near beta.

And as for wiki , FAQ etc contribute, give back write the darned best practise ?blog 🙂 you say you’ve been using BP for years? well BP is community driven – get driving please.

P.S.

So what if this question has been done to death.. its obvious that theres a lack of clarity if the questions been asked over and over again, because one can only assume that a satisfactory answer has not been achieved. I suppose this question and a ton of similar questions can be solved or addressed by having a “wiki” or easily searchable FAQ or Best Practice Blog or.. whatever.. — Ive been using BP for several years (on many of my sites) now as non-technical administrator and Im constantly frustrated.. but anyhoo.. just my 2cents..

Currently no photo  plugin with phot0 tagging works with Buddypress 1.7

yes there are a number of media plugins

but…

Anything is possible if you can code. No off-the-shelf solutions for this. There are a couple location/map plugins.

hi @bphelp, @hnla,

i had the same issue on my test site with BP 1.7b1 / wp 3.5.1 and the theme Roots. This theme is depending of legacy template witch is animating this part through buddypress.js

The affected div is whats-new-options

To avoid the scroll, I increased the heigth of jq(‘#whats-new-options’) from 40 (by default) to 60

Go to /buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/js/buddypress.js and do the change at your need, line 26 and 43

@vegaskev https://buddypress.org/community/members/vegaskev/ You now have 2 activity entries. Patience 🙂

BuddyPress templates are or should all be namespaced with a top level ID ‘#buddypress’  this is allow the ability to create rulesets that target elements that specifically fall under this ID; thus:

#buddypress ul {list-style: none;}

Would remove  bullets on ALL ul constructs generated by BP unless the BP stylesheet overloaded  that ruleset with something more specific.

Also always check the body element class as BP will place many specific BP class tokens in there that can also be used for creating unique selector strings  for rulesets.

@mercime We perhaps ought to create a ticket on this? Why was it removed in the bp-legacy files template?

@39images  @bphelp  Although this isn’t strictly a required line of text that has to be there, it is perhaps  a bit clearer with some instruction – although that could be better done with a little inventive PHP on the textarea value to replicate ‘placeholder’ text.

Remember if you encounter issues like this you do still have the original default buddypress template files in the plugin folder so you can compare the same files to see changes / grab bits of code that have been removed.

@pdillon809 the video was for bbPress 2.2+ and BuddyPress 1.6.1+

Marking this issue as resolved.

Please start a new topic about adding a menu and be more specific re Add a menu to the profile page (subnav). For/about what? Or do you mean you want to add a menu link to the user’s profile page?

I am finding this issue on BuddyPress 1.7 and WordPress 3.4 to 3.6 Beta versions….
