BuddyPress.org

Did you move the plugin theme templates to your active theme?

Added this to my style’s css and it works:

/* Fixing Admin Buddy Bar */

#wp-admin-bar img#admin-bar-logo {

padding-top: 13px;

position: absolute !important;

top: 8px;

left: 10px;

}

That 13px feels so weirdly random to me. Ah well. My pm to JJJ was #666, my fix for CSS was #13… There’s a theme going on here!

I don’t really understand what all that above is at all. If you are trying to add a new nav item to the member and bp home themes then you need to do something similar to the following:

function oci_bpc_nav_item(){

?>

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( OCI_CONTENTS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>>

<a href="<?php echo bp_core_get_root_domain() ?>/<?php echo OCI_CONTENTS_SLUG ?>

" title="<?php _e( 'Contents', 'bpcontents' ) ?>">

<?php _e( 'Contents', 'bpcontents' ) ?></a></li>

<?php

}

add_action('bp_nav_items', 'oci_bpc_nav_item');

That’s the way bpc hooks the action ‘bp_nav_items’ that header.php generates after displaying the default nav items. Your ‘Event’ and ‘Content’ items are displayed that way. You need to define a function that responds to ‘bp_nav_items’ and generate the appropriate html for the button.

ok, here’s my first buddypress powered site ready to go public.

As you can see my theme was very much inspired but the buddypress website.

Hope you like.

Can you post your full <ul id=”header”>?

I have a feeling something is messing up there.

Actually you know what?

Use the default header from the original bpmember theme… and see if you get any weird bugs.

<ul id="header">

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( 'home' ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php bp_home_blog_url() ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>



<?php if ( function_exists( 'groups_install' ) ) { ?>

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_GROUPS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>

<?php } ?>



<?php if ( function_exists( 'bp_blogs_install' ) ) { ?>

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_BLOGS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_BLOGS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Blogs', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Blogs', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>

<?php } ?>



<?php do_action( 'bp_nav_items' ); ?>

</ul>

Your code is missing the all-important add_action!

You had the function defined, but nothing is executing it! hehe

Yeah there’s at least three functions in the default bphome theme functions.php that you should copy over.

Just copy the whole functions.php file over from bphome and you should be good to go!

Remember to green light the thread and select “resolved”!

The BP search form is generated from the bp_search_form() function.

Short answer is you can’t modify that function.

But you can add this to your BP member theme:

<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">

<label class="hidden" for="s"><?php _e('Search for:'); ?></label>

<div><input type="text" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" name="s" id="s" />

<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />

</div>

</form>

Copied and pasted from default Kubrick WP theme.

That should work, but report back and let me know.

I think I’ve got it.

Do you have the same functions.php in your “buddypress-home” theme?

This is the code that does the magic:

function bp_show_home_blog() {

global $bp, $query_string;



if ( $bp->current_component == BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG ) {

$pos = strpos( $query_string, 'pagename=' . BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG );



if ( $pos !== false )

$query_string = preg_replace( '/pagename=' . BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG . '/', '', $query_string );



query_posts($query_string);



if ( is_single() )

bp_core_load_template( 'single', true );

else if ( is_category() || is_search() || is_day() || is_month() || is_year() )

bp_core_load_template( 'archive', true );

else

bp_core_load_template( 'index', true );

}

}

add_action( 'wp', 'bp_show_home_blog', 2 );

Okay I think I can safely say it’s a BP theme issue.

You need to make sure your code is exactly the same as the default wp-content/themes/bphome/comments.php (or wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bphome/comments.php)

Try that.

twdsje, by the sound of it, I’m guessing you’re using the default WordPress MU home theme.

You can choose a different theme you know!

Do you even have BuddyPress installed?

If you do, select the BuddyPress home theme or some other WordPress theme in the WPMU admin area and you’ll see something entirely different.

That’s the beauty of themes!

This doesn’t sound like a BuddyPress issue.

It’s a WPMU issue; to be more specific, it’s a theme issue.

Do you want to show a link to comments or do you want to show actual comments?

There are number of ways to do this… theme hacking or adding a widget which displays the latest comments.

Adding a widget would be the simplest, but it depends on what you want to do.

btw, good luck with your conference in November

Oh and be sure to green light this thread… set the thread to “resolved” at the top!

Arghh… your server hates me! Way too slow!

This will work… in your bp-themes/bpmember/style.css, add this:

#header {height:112px;}

Adjust the height to your liking… don’t ask me why I have to define the height… it’s what works the quickest at this time without me going into your CSS and debugging!

Which one is the bad header? The home theme or the member theme?

Looks simple enough… the container holding the bad header needs a background CSS attribute. That’s what my guess would be.

I can’t do anything from here without a link though!

Yes you need deep integration for the BuddyBar bbPress plugin.

Make sure you follow the instructions in the readme.txt.

Also for the forum look… unless you’re using the default BuddyPress look + Manoj’s bbPress theme (http://manojkumar.org/buddypress-theme-for-bbpress/), you’ll have to basically create a new theme that matches your WP/BuddyPress theme.

There’s no really good way around it I’m afraid.

I was adding these lines (from the readme.txt)

if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) & !defined( 'XMLRPC_REQUEST' )) {

define( 'WP_USE_THEMES', false );

//

//  You will need to get the ABSOLUTE path to this file |

//                                                     |/

//include_once( '/usr/home/dragons/domains/dragonsconnect.eu/public_html/preview/wp-blog-header.php' );

header( "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" );

header( "Status: 200 All rosy" );

}

When I add the line you suggested I get the same result, no response at all from any bbpress page.

-edit-

Seems that wp-blog-header.php is causing the error, I’m expirimenting with commenting out some lines there atm.

You need to learn CSS and basic WordPress theming skills. Below you will find a few links to get you started.

Also, since your issue has nothing to do with the proper functioning of BuddyPress, I’m changing the topic indicator to “not a support question”.

4. You should use Firefox with the Firebug Add-on. It is a great tool that not only allows you to find out within which files certain CSS selectors are located, but also to temporarily change them and see what impact they have on the design.
