In reply to: Scaling down/Centering complete Buddypress

ParticipantAhh. I see! I gotcha now.
I have seen this behavior in IE when you try to put a width on the body tag… which the default theme does. The simple solution is just to get rid of any width declarations on body (or maybe 100% would work) so the entire problem goes away. Just add a wrapper div around your entire site and put your page width on that. Open it as the first thing after body and close it just before the close body tag. Give it an id and then apply your width to that… so…
HTML
<html>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
[everything else]
</div>
</body>
</html>CSS in site-wide.css
body {
min-width: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
}
#wrapper {
width: 970px;
}Of course… this means editing your theme files (header and footer)… not just overriding some CSS. But I think this would be a better solution than relying on javascript hacks. Also, I have not tested this in IE… so I’m not 100% sure it will work. You might have to edit the base.css files to completely remove the min-max width declarations rather than just overriding them with 100% in the site-wide.css file.

MemberThanks for that link- it was very helpful. I’m spending the most time copying functions to the widgets file and renaming css conflicts with my theme.

ParticipantHi r-a-y thank you so much for your help!! Sorry it took so long for me to answer but at first i had no idea how to create a new page template but finally i slowly figured it all out and now it sort of works (its not exacly what i hoped for but i think it will do).
Here is what i did:
- I duplicated my current Page template giving it its own name.
- I duplicated all the “sidebars” (widget areas) i wanted giving them unique names so they only are displayed on the “Commuiny” page.
- I then create a new WordPress page and applied the page template i created in step #1.
- In the WordPress Widget admin i added the BP widgets i wanted to the different Sidebars.
- To get the widgets to look more like how they do on the BP Default Home Theme, i coppied some of the CSS and icons frome base.css to my current CSS.
Im pretty new and pretty sure i made some mistake or broke some kind of “best practice” so please correct me or suggest extra ideas!
Thank you!

ParticipantSo looked around and indeed no decent default solution for a 1 blog per blog.
Could i Make a forum and just link and show 1 categorie of it then?
I could create 1 forum with different categories for differerent users, then integrate each forum categorie for each blog inside my blogs on wpmu, any thoughts about this?
August 8, 2009 at 9:36 pm #50786In reply to: This buddypress forum theme & 1 forum PER blog?
ParticipantOk that;s a shame its not possible to have 1 forum per blog..
perhaps indeed a good idea for a plugin, if anyone interested please let me know in this topic, perhaps we can work something out together.

peterverkooijen
ParticipantNo, not in the header; in a function that puts classes in the body tag and then you can use those classes to highlight current in CSS.
So in my theme I have something like this in header.php:
<body class="<?php custom_body_class() ?>">And then a function custom_body_class in functions.php in the theme.
It’s a different approach, but I noticed the same problem with ‘members’ getting added to just about any body tag. I wasn’t able to figure out why, but managed to sort of make it work by throwing the kitchen sink at it.
I know, not very helpful…
August 8, 2009 at 1:38 pm #50765In reply to: Clean professional user registration?
ParticipantI need a more professional member registration as well. I’ll use this excellent plugin which allows login with email address, but there are a lot of other annoying issues I still have to solve:
Restructuring registration process to an industry standard
How to use full name, first name + last name
Make 2+ part name in full name required + xprofile_sync_wp_profile()
Autogenerate or remove username
Generate username (+ blog url) from fullname
Use full name in confirmation emails
ListMessenger (or PHPlist) integration – plugin?
I’m not sure how much GigaOM actually changed. Their form looks a lot like the regular Buddypress (?) registration, minus that annoying username. Not sure how they did that.
They’re not using Buddypress, are they?
Most of it is just a radically customized theme. I suspect they probably also use one of the commercial member subscription plugins.
I’m working on my new site here. The old site has a registration system based on PunBB. I’m not a PHP programmer, so please keep us posted on any progress you make.

KeymasterI’ve renamed this thread jorrie so the title covers both questions which might make it easier for people to find in future.
August 8, 2009 at 5:32 am #50757In reply to: BuddyPress and wpMU, some expert advice needed
r-a-y
KeymasterRe #3 – Your blogs will stay intact. Buddypress will create a few components called groups and forums (if you have bbPress installed). Groups can be configured by users or admins. BP forums are a part of groups.
Re #5 – There’s a few forum threads about integration and a couple of guides floating around the net.
The next version of Buddypress is scheduled to be released next week (August 11), but I won’t be surprised if they push it back a few weeks since there’s a lot of new stuff being implemented.
Right now, if you want a tight integration, you’ll have to theme WPMU and BuddyPress at the very least. There’s no way around it.
Re #6:
Groupblog plugin – https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/new-groupblog-plugin#post-19344
– It’s still in development… I would just test this for now
Community Blogs for BuddyPress – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-community-blogs/
– A revision was made by Boone Gorges available here – hxxp://dev.commons.gc.cuny.edu/files/2009/07/bp-community-blogs.zip (change hxxp to http)
– I’ve been meaning to test this, but haven’t yet
Keep in mind that these plugins would give a group a blog, but not a forum for each blog like you want… both have a different way of achieving this method.
The groupblog plugin would be more tightly integrated, whereas the “Community Blogs” plugin provisions group members to an existing WPMU blog.
August 8, 2009 at 4:04 am #50754In reply to: This buddypress forum theme & 1 forum PER blog?
KeymasterNope, not available.
This question has been mentioned many times.
As for the second question, right now, you can’t have one forum per blog (unless you manually set it up in bbPress). Sounds like a future plugin to me!

KeymasterHey pollyplummer,
I replied to a similar post:
But you have the right idea!
August 7, 2009 at 7:57 pm #50747In reply to: How to get a section identifier in the body tag?
KeymasterSince you’re using conditionals, I would comment out the following in your body class function:
$c[] = $bp->current_component; //outputs current component
$c[] = $bp->current_action; // outputs current actionTo know what component or action you’re on, I would output that info in your bp member theme header.php.
global $bp;
echo 'type: '.$bp->current_component; //outputs current component
echo '<br />';
echo 'action:'.$bp->current_action; // outputs current actionThen you can clearly define your conditionals in your body class function… the rest is up to you!
August 7, 2009 at 7:35 pm #50745In reply to: How to access home page while using another theme
MemberI’m trying to avoid doing a redirect. Is there another way? Would it interfere with any of the functions if I took the index.php from the buddypress home theme and added it as a new template like so:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Home Page
*/
?>
and then assign my /subpage to use that template?
August 7, 2009 at 12:54 pm #50724In reply to: changed base.css color and width where else please?
ParticipantYup… use custom.css or site-wide.css… that’ll hit everything and you can leave the original theme alone. When the theme gets updated… just make sure to save your custom CSS file.

ParticipantHi!
It would be fantastic to have the ability to use the My blogs this way. With the upcoming BP feature (as per the roadmap):
Blogs:
* A quick post form via the theme
.. this would be a welcome addition! I’ll only be using one blog for all the users so this would be fantastic!

KeymasterWhat’s in your .htaccess?
August 7, 2009 at 3:03 am #50704In reply to: template_directory in members blogs theme
ParticipantThanks for the quick response r-a-y.
I guess the rewriting is not taking place or only partly, because I see the wrong adresses in the source, get some error messages in the page (‘No such file or directory in…’ etc.) and some weird behavior (the remove-buddypress-adminbar plugin now and then doesn’t work on member blogs, but only in Firefox).
Where does this rewriting take place?
Isn’t there a more direct way to get the right adresses in the template without rewriting after the fact?
August 7, 2009 at 2:53 am #50703In reply to: template_directory in members blogs theme
KeymasterThat sounds about right, Peter.
WPMU does some rewriting so the theme is actually pointing to mywebsite.com/wp-content/themes/default/.
Oh… and no question is a dumb question!
August 7, 2009 at 2:50 am #50702In reply to: changed base.css color and width where else please?
KeymasterRecommendation #1: Instead of editing base.css, rename “custom-sample.css” to “custom.css” and start making your changes in there (make sure you uncomment line 17 in bphome/style.css so this will take effect).
Why make your changes in a custom CSS file? Because when you upgrade BP and your BP Home theme, your changes won’t be affected!
Recommendation #2: Use Firefox and install the Firebug plugin to pinpoint which classes you have to apply your colors on.
Another method is doing a search and replace for the color(s) in question for your styles.

Okay I’m just reading this over again… and I’m being an idiot!
You’re talking about the BP member theme… which is an entirely different theme from the bphome theme altogether!
You need to edit a bunch of CSS files in /wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/css/.
I still recommend making your changes in /wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/css/custom.css, so when you upgrade BP, your colors and theme will stay intact.

ParticipantYou can use http redirects
August 6, 2009 at 4:23 pm #50680ParticipantBP-member-theme is made so that there are two menues at the left side. Even the graphic hints at that since there are two “hardcoded” grey backgrounds at the far left. If you’d remove the userbar & optionsbar there would still be two grey areas there.
I’m modifying the bp-member-theme and putting horizontal navigation on my BP webite. When doing it that way you could do a workaround to not show the userbar/optionsbar at some webpages. You could do it if you take away the call for nav-bar in the header.php. Then you’d have to add that call to all pages you want the userbar/optionsbar to appear.
But as far as BP-member theme goes you’d have to do something about those grey background-areas if you remove the userbar/optionsbar.

ParticipantI’m starting a work at home community site. So far, it’s just the basic theme.
August 6, 2009 at 2:54 am #50661In reply to: Skeleton Theme & Component for Developers
Keymaster@gaganawhad, the “Skeleton component” is for BP plugins!
What you want is the BP Skeleton Member Theme, which can be found in:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bpskeletonmember/
Move that folder to:
/wp-content/bp-themes/
Activate it in the WPMU admin area – “BuddyPress > General Settings” and you should be ready to start theming!

ParticipantI am interested in developing a custom theme. I installed the “skeleton component” plugin, to use along with the skeleton theme, but I do not seem to get any clue as to what it does…or how it works. May be i am missing out on something, but can anyone tell me how to use it?
Thanks!
