BuddyPress.org

If you want your bpmember and bphome theme header.php and footer.php files to always be in sync, this is what I do. It’s a little tricky, but it works really well at keeping multiple theme files totally in sync.

Copy the code below into a file called hf-sync.php and put it in your wp-content/plugins directory. Then in your WordPress Site Admin, goto your plugins area and activate the plugin called “BuddyPress Synchronized Header/Footer”

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: BuddyPress Synchronized Header/Footer

Plugin URI: http://buddypress.org

Description: Header/Footer Synchonization Functions

Version: 1.0

Author: John James Jacoby

Author URI: http://johnjamesjacoby.com

Tags: BuddyPress, Header, Footer

Site Wide Only: true

*/



// Call this in your header.php file.

// Rename the function to match your theme name.

function theme_name_header() {

?>

<!-- PUT YOUR HEADER HTML CODE IN HERE -->

<?php

}

?>



// Call this in your footer.php file.

// Rename the function to match your theme name.

function theme_name_footer() {

?>

<!-- PUT YOUR FOOTER HTML CODE IN HERE -->

<?php

}

?>

Then, in whatever header.php and footer.php files that you want to use your universal header/footer code, all you’ll need to do is call the functions above.

This lets you make edits to both of your header/footer files for both/any/all themes that use this code, in one central location.

My guess, is that this would/should work very well in keeping bbPress themes in sync also, provided that you insert HTML code to include what bbPress needs also, and make sure not to include that code if bbPress isn’t loaded.

It’s fine to edit the theme, it’s a theme after all.

For that you have to customize your member theme.

Carpconnect-

You have another thread here that is dealing with related issues. You never did respond to my last set of questions in that thread.

Finally, to answer your question above:

the plugins i am running are

BuddyPress

BPContents

Support

Signup TOS

Additional Privacy

All in one SEO

Simple Site maps

Upgrades

Invite

I would not have thought these would have affected user profile layout?

Yes, plugin conflicts can affect the way data is output to your browser. To debug this issue, you need to distill your environment down to the lowest common denominator. That means disabling all plugins except BuddyPress AND you need to be using the default themes that come with BP.

Do that, and report back here.

I’ve moved this thread to the Miscellaneous forum. Also, I’m closing this thread as it is not a support issue but a request for services. If you wish to offer your services to the OP, contact info. can be found above.

For future reference, requests for services or offers to provide services should be made on the BuddyPress Jobs Board.

Strange thing… this happened to me as well. I deactivated all the plugins (including those in the mu-plugins folder), tried reactivating and it started with no problems. From that point I could reactivate all my plugins and it worked.

However, I think I fixed it because I got a similar problem when trying to add media to a post from the media library.

The issue lies in the require statements, in the case of the media library it was within the bp-themes. If you change the require statements to require_once in the bp-themes folder it starts working.

Mods, I am working quite heavily with BuddyPress atm, if there’s any way I can contribute to the core code please let me know.

do you want something like http://explorewithme.com/forums/ ?

If so let me know and I can help…

So site-wide.css will modify the member & home theme at the same time. Thanks!

Please refer to these notes in style.css

/***

* Rename /css/custom-sample.css to /css/custom.css and uncomment the following line to load your own

* custom styles without modifying the originals (this will preserve your changes across theme updates)

*

* @import url(css/custom.css);

*/



/***

* NOTE: If you rename /css/site-wide-sample.css to /css/site-wide.css you can apply CSS styles to any

* theme that is in use across your whole site. This includes any blog or member theme. You do not

* need to add an @import declaration in this file, it will load automaticaly.

*/

What is the difference between custom.css & sitewide.css?

Uncomment the following line in at wp-content/themes/bphome/style.css

@import url(css/custom.css);

Yeah, that was more of dirty quick fix You’d probably want to have a container for those three bottom cells, but that’d require you to mess with your footer.php file, too. Glad to hear you like Firebug. That’s probably my fav add-on for FF

This error relates to the dp_messages_send_message() function in Welcome Pack, which is a copy of BP’s messages_send_message(). My version of the function is a copy+paste with a “from user_id” argument added and lots of code that won’t get used commented out. Trac https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/673 relates.

It’s the messages_add_callback_values() that the OP’s error is referring to in bp-messages.php. I’m not sure why this error is triggering for some people but not others. It might be custom theme related. Need help!

Treblamah (the other person who has contacted me with this issue) is also running a custom theme with the same error message as in the OP.

I have looked at his header.php and there’s nothing wrong.

Renzokuomo, it is possible if you could switch the theme back to the standard BP home theme (re-download it if you need to), and register/activate a test user account?

I can’t get this error to recreate on my site which is running an out-of-the-box BP Home theme.

I just created this last night. It’s a mashup of a few of the template loops you can use in your themes.

It is custom for each member, and a member can only view their own dashboard.

I’m going to write up a blog post on how to create a dashboard in your themes. Dashboard functionality may end up in a future version of the default BuddyPress member theme, but it will likely be based on the same setup.

Dainismichel-

Since this thread is marked as resolved, you should really start a new thread. However, I did notice one possible issue in your post:

John states that:

you will want to make a duplicate of your “Home” theme…

You then state in your post of a month ago:

Just replaced the 6 instances of get_option(‘home’) in header.php of my member blog theme

Obviously, John was talking about copying the home theme and then altering that copy. You have altered your member theme.

Mikem1986–

You should contact Nicola via bp-dev.org as this is an issue with a 3rd-party plugin, not a BuddyPress core component or theme.

Perhaps Nicola will also see this thread, but he would appreciate the heads up at his site as well.
