BuddyPress.org

Hello.

I have a Buddypress site using buddypress 1.5.1, bbpress 2.0.2, and WordPress 3.2.1.
I am hosting our site on Godaddy. The main files of WordPress are sitting the site’s root directory as to avoid the “/WordPress” in our url.

Anyway my issue is this: we are using the Default bp theme. I know you are supposed to create a child theme to make changes to the theme, so I am trying to find the code of file where I can add a “tab” at the top of the page under the heading along with “Home”, “Forum”, “Groups”, “Members”, that would be titled, “About”. I want there to just be an “About” tab next to the home tab. If I have to make a child theme, where would I make this change OR should I just make a stick post?

WP/BP versions? Change to bp-default theme as it should be working just fine as it is in the BuddyPress’ http://testbp.org/

functions.php is the same name in both the parent and child theme.

The name of any functions within should be unique!

ie: in the earlier example `function register_my_menus()` should be the only occurence of ` register_my_menus()` otherwise you might change it to `function register_dude_menus()`

@djpaul thanks for the advice but it still didn’t change… tried searching in the database but still no result.. the main menu works fine it’s the submenu of the profile that’s not working.. please see the image.. http://www.entrepnegosyo.com/entrepnegosyo.gif

thanks for the time..

@junglejinge you need to wrap your code within backticks (`) the symbol between the parentheses for short blocks of code. But for large blocks like the page.php source code, use pastebin.com as aces mentioned above

I gathered additional information from WP.org forums

BP compatibility process for Graphene Theme

A. After you activate the Graphene theme, install and activate BP Template Pack

B. Go to Appearance > BP Compatibility and go through the process till you click Finish. Do not disable the Template Pack’s CSs nor JS. You’ll see this in frontend [before you make the changes, the regular page and the component page]

It’s totally unlike what you have currently at http://www.meetinbradford.org/

Note: this theme has many options which may or may not work with the modifications placed below. In case the following exercise does not work, please contact the graphene theme developer and refer him/her to this post.

C. Download the 6 BP folders which were transferred to your graphene theme folder in server down to your computer hard drive. Because of your theme’s HTML structure, you will need to use the first method for fixing alignment on 16 files within the folders you downloaded. Those 16 files listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

Starting with activity/index.php open it up with text editor
At the very top, replace:
`

`

Save file. Then do this for the remaining 15 files listed in link except for registration/register.php where you do the same for the top portion of the file but at the bottom of the file, replace:

`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

with:
`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();

jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

Save files and upload the six folders with modified template files to your theme folder in server.

D. Styling modifications – you’d most probably want to tweak some styles that come with bp.css. Check out style.css mods used in twenty theme as guide https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

> What are the differences and similarities as to how the buddybar and the WP adminbar are configured? What will be lost and what will be gained and how configurable will it be?

The BuddyBar will still be there, though it will be turned off by default in favor of the WP Admin Bar. (In BP 1.5, that’s reversed – you can enable the WP admin bar manually with
`define( ‘BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR’, true );`
in wp-config.php.)

BP’s WP Admin Bar implementation has:
– a logged-in user dropdown menu (links to logged-in user’s groups, activity, etc
– admin links for current group
– admin links for currently displayed user
– Notifications

There is ‘Visit Random’ button in the current implementation, though it’s worth an enhancement request on http://trac.buddypress.org

In any case, it will be completely customizable. The BuddyBar is mostly hardcoded HTML. The WP Admin Bar is built using an easy-to-use API, making it far easier to customize to your liking. If you don’t like the search, it’s easy to remove. If you don’t like the appearance, it’s easy to modify with CSS.

> Does anyone know yet if BP 1.5 will run on WP 3.3?

It’s mostly fine. The WP Admin Bar, which changes a lot between 3.2 and 3.3, does not work all that well.

> Is there any way to create one nice big CSS for the whole BuddyPress shebang, so it won’t be so difficult to figure out the where, how, and why of formatting?

Most of bp-default’s CSS is in bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css.

Seems like every time for me! Have a great one too!

It happens, the answer comes up just after you post in the forums Have a good weekend.

And of course I figured it out.

I just created a new action and placed it before do_action( ‘bp_adminbar_menus’ ); and outside of the ul.

Ive added bp-custom.php file and all works fine. Im just trying to wrap my head around getting the navigation to appear before the log in and sign up links.

Any ideas? Im sure its something so simple and Im just not seeing it.

i tried to remove Viisit Radom Member, Random Group And Random Site from BuddyBar successfully, Here is link for you how to make changes, edit BuudyBar.

Hope this will help.
