BuddyPress.org

Okay, since this seems like a test site, I would start from scratch and test one more time. This caught me eye:

I copied the db and data to a new working domain for messing around.

If you are going to start from scratch, you need to get rid of everything. This means dumping the MySQL DB and creating a brand new one. Do not import your old data into the new DB. There could be something in the DB that is causing this issue–that is my guess.

BUT–emphasis added on purpose–please keep a copy of your old database if there is data you need to save. If not, then just get rid of it all together.

So, with a brand new install of everything–new blank DB, WPMU, BP, default BP themes, no other plugins–how do things work?

Doug-

I can’t speak to the reason why the CSS was implemented this way, but it may have something to do with the fact that bphome is a default theme which can be replaced with any WordPress theme with a few tweaks here and there. So it follows the standard WP theming protocol.

The bpmember theme, on the other hand, is unique to the BuddyPress world. As I’m sure you know, you cannot take a standard WP theme and tweak it into a custom BP member theme. Andy created the CSS coding protocols from scratch for BuddyPress member themes. Andy can speak to this more directly–and correct me if my assumptions are wrong!

I could see a lot of value in pulling all of the color values & branding (logo) out of base.css and into branding.css

I like this idea a lot!

gwsa, you don’t have access to the wp themes? Site Admin > Themes > Activate some on that list. Then Appearance > Themes > All those you activated should be available for selection.

dawnsinger, the universal blog theme is the theme that lives in /wp-content/themes/default. All blog themes are wordpress themes.

Andy — I’m probably just missing it in the documentation somewhere, but my user-created blogs are showing up as default WordPress themes. How/where do I set a universal member BLOG theme?

Thanks,

Hi Milan,

Thanks for the code. Where would I paste this code to allow me to show the 5 topics on my default buddypress home theme (guessing I would have to create a widget?)

Let’s start with the easy one first. The css issue is due to the fact that the css must be hard coded in the actual css files. You need to override the standard css in your theme to reflect the fact that your elements such as #my-friends are now #my-freunde. When you are updating the css in your theme you’ll see where the icons are based on the css selectors.

The activity that you see is stored in tables and then displayed. It stores the slug you changed for the component in the activity table. Changing the component slug means that the new activity works and the older activity that refers to the default slug doesn’t work.

I don’t have any immediate answer for the infinite recursion issue when changing the profile slug.

Good job

Ben, I do believe you are the first person to submit video with their support issue. Congratulations on your submission and finding the solution.

The two themes are completely independent. The home theme has nothing to do with the member profile area. You can run any theme you want as your ‘home’ theme in wpmu on any of your blogs. You, as site admin, can also select from any available member theme for all users on your site. They get what you pick.

We talked about this on irc. I just wanted to make it clearer for people browsing this thread.

I reckon as much as 25% of my users are using ie 6

Well, based on the most recent browser statistics, you have an unusual group of users!

It is very difficult to optimize a theme design for IE6. Are you using a custom theme? If so, look at the header.php file that comes with the default BP theme and make sure that you’ve included the calls to the ie6.css files.

Also, here’s a thread that about IE6 issues that may help out: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2262#post-14161

I said this in another thread about IE support:

Getting themes of any platform (not just WordPress) to work in all versions of IE can be frustrating and tricky at best, impossible at worst. I would focus on optimizing your users’ IE experience on IE8 and IE7. Some designers are not even supporting IE6 anymore. I wouldn’t even worry about IE5.5 Of course, this is only my opinion.

Doug your users do not have the option to choose a member theme. Only the blog theme. Site admin determines the member theme.

I am not sure in which sidebar you want to implement this.

If you are talking about blog sidebar in default BP theme.

1. Open sidebar.php from wp-content/themes/bphome/

2. Replace all content with following code

<div id="sidebar">

<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')

|| !dynamic_sidebar('blog-sidebar') ) : ?>



<div class="widget-error">

<?php _e( 'Please log in and add widgets to this column.', 'buddypress' ) ?> <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl') ?>/wp-admin/widgets.php?s=&show=&sidebar=sidebar-4"><?php _e( 'Add Widgets', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

</div>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php bp_adminbar_notifications_menu(); ?>

</div>

3. Check by clicking on any post from main blog.

We could use a link to your site, the version of bp what theme you are using. Have you looked at your issue with firebug? http://getfirebug.com/

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to show so many functionalities in the Skeleton Component.

I’m not sure if it is an encoding thing or the fact that I’m using a Mac, but on line 88 of “bp-example-templatetags.php”, the TAB showed up as a  . May be my goof, but just in case others have this issue, I just replaced with spaces.

I do have a question..Is there a hack-free way of changing the order of the components in the optionsbar?

Thanks!

OK, this looks like the issue I am having. Using WooThemes Premium News. The free one.

I’ve hacked it for BP including the featured image thing. All fine, but this jquery conflict.

I’ve read this thread and another.

http://headonradionetwork.com

I understand the version conflict. I am however having real trouble finding where to fix it.

Firebug outputs the following.

$ is not a function

headonradionetwork.com()()headonra…twork.com (line 1272)

[Break on this error] $(function() {

headonra…twork.com (line 1272)

$ is not a function

[Break on this error] $(document).ready(function(){

[Break on this error] function() {

widget-m…ver=2.7.1 (line 3)

I feel I’ve wandered down the right path, yet I can’t read the street numbers.

Any help would be appreciated.

This hasn’t been reported by others. There have been a couple of ‘The bp themes are missing and it’s showing /themes in the bp backend instead of /bp-themes.’

Reinstall of wpmu/bp seems to solve the issue. Haven’t been able to track it down.

I’ve closed the ticket for this, I’ve not heard of anyone with the same problem. If anyone else can confirm this problem on their setup I will take a look at it.

Hi, this is my WP/BB/BP integration: http://ryuuko.cl

it’s currently beta, but open. Only the blog registration is disabled because I haven’t uploaded themes :p I use a custom BP/BB theme that uses the markup of the WP theme (Thesis in this case).

We’ve been a small forum based community for almost 10 years. The next step is something more social, so BuddyPress was just what we needed.
