BuddyPress.org

Socialpreneur: Ok thanks.

Would I have to edit the header.php for both the home and bpmember theme? So I would add the same code to both files?

<div id="header">

<h1 id="logo"><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php bp_site_name() ?></a></h1>



<ul id="nav">

<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>

</div>

If I wanted to add another menu-link would I have to add something like this to both header.php files? Saying the new page was called ‘pagename’:

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

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

<?php } ?>

Or is this wrong? Just wanna make sure I do it right.

Changes 0.13

– Added OCI_Container::delete() to delete the current container and all it’s children

– Removed OCI_Tree::tree_get_containers($node), added tree_get_children($node, $type)

– Changing thing to remove php 5 dependencies.

– Made all class methods static where possible, yes Andy it’s better this way

– Added OCI_Template_Items class for container template loops in themes, no pretty bells and whistles yet. I cut out all non-essential things to understand it better.

– Added a few oci_get_the_item_xxx(), oci_the_item_xxx() template tag functions to test the template class.

– Added a oci-test-template.php file for testing the template class and template tags. I drop it into the bp home theme dir and create a wp page using that as a template for the page. It’ll show up as “OCI Test Template” in the wp back end.

– To use the template you need to point the loop start tag to an existing container like “/recent” if you are testing using blog posts.

<?php if ( oci_has_items(“/recent”)) : ?>

Point it to where ever you are sending blog posts. The following in oci_contents_setup_globals() sends blog posts from any blog to /recent and /other/place

$recent = new OCI_Container(“/recent”, true);

$other = new OCI_Container(“/other/place”, true);

$oci->listeners->blog_posts = new OCI_Item_Blog_Post_Listener();

$oci->listeners->blog_posts->add_destination(“/recent”);

$oci->listeners->blog_posts->add_destination(“/other/place”);

So you can change the loop start tag to:

<?php if ( oci_has_items(“/other/place”)) : ?>

Then browse to your new test template page to view the results instead of using oci_test_print_tree.php to just dump the tree.

I renamed those two files, placed the code in them that I wanted to work sitewide, and uploaded back to the css folder of the bphome directory. Nothing happened. Maybe you could give me a little more direction about exactly where these files should go? I’d sure appreciate it!

I see those files (site-wide-sample.css and custom-sample.css) in the bphome folder. If I change those, do I put them back to the places where they currently reside? Does the bphome folder control the look of these other parts of the site? I’m confused about which files control which parts of the site. If there is some kind of structural documentation on BuddyPress, showing which parts files are controlling, that would be great. It isn’t transparent enough from the structure of the files themselves (at least not for a non-programmer). Thanks!

@Andy,

I tried using the default themes and the same problem persists. I could really use a pointer on where to even begin looking for a fix for this.

Sorry for the confusion! Let me try to re-explain the process I followed.

I’ve loaded the buddypress addon and moved all the folders to their appropriate spot.

Then, I enabled the “BuddyPress Default Home Theme” under the Site Admin dropdown.

I clicked through to the Appearance drop-down, and when I go to activate the theme, the screenshot loads with the error message regarding the misplacement of bp-themes directory. So I double checked the placement of the folder, and verified they are in the correct spot – despite what the error message says.

I activated the file anyway, and then click the BuddyPress drop down and changed the “Member theme” to Skeleton, saved it, then switched it back, and saved it again.

I activated user registration so you can sign up now as well, hopefully that will help.

1. Yes – at the top of my screen it says “You’re logged in as a site administrator.” I’ve been going in through nacdb.com/members/wp-admin/ with the admin login and its password.

2. I reset the error log, visited the buddypress setup, and copied the errors it produced at the bottom of this post. I seem to get the same one over and over.

3. I’ve reselected the member theme (even switched it to the skeleton one and back) without any success.

Thanks for all the help guys!

There’s a new post regarding skeleton theme, https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2522. He states, “So in looking through the skeleton theme I noticed something strange.

I am wondering why the ‘Activity’, ‘Profile’, ‘Wire’, and ‘Friends’ items do not work from the optionsbar?”

response, “It looks like the options bar is showing up on the directory pages when it shouldn’t – most likely because I forgot to add a hide function. All the other pages are working fine. I will update this.”

For the pages i’m referring to i have the same problem, the options bar that shows up on these pages (not user bars links to same sections) links go to “The page you were looking for was not found.”

I’m thinking the solution for that would be the same for me?

that worked for mee too,

Thanks

Jeff,

That’s correct, someone else made the theme that i’m using. I’ve run into the same issue when I tried to customize my own theme where the user bar and options bar are on members pages that they’re not on the bp theme and I haven’t been able to figure out what is causing it.

Thanks
