BuddyPress.org

Is there a Shortcut available to reference to the Template/Theme directory?

I tried something like this, but unfortunately there is no BP_TEMPLATE_URL available:

‘echo ‘root_domain . ‘”><img id=”admin-bar-logo” src=”‘ . apply_filters( ‘bp_admin_bar_logo_src’, BP_TEMPLATE_URL . ‘/images/admin_bar_logo.gif’ ) . ‘” alt=”‘ . apply_filters( ‘bp_admin_bar_logo_alt_text’, __( ‘BuddyPress’, ‘buddypress’ ) ) . ‘” />‘;

?>’

Does anyone knows the correct Tag for this? I also want to move the admin_bar_logo.gif into my theme directory.

alunsina, if you allow others to post to the main blog then then their posts will show up using the standard index.php template. When you select ‘blog’ from the home theme it runs a template called index.php. By default all posts in chronological order are displayed without any filtering by author. Whatever posts are most recent get displayed first. It doesn’t care who is the author.

This really isn’t something that bp controls. It’s just normal blog behavior. You can change what index.php displays when it is run by modifying the index.php template. Or you can not allow other users to post to the main blog.

Theme designers should be able to customize the output as well as look and feel of their themes with this loop documentation. It’ll be nice to see what people come up with.

If I’m understanding you correctly, you want member blogs to use the same theme that you use for your home theme. If this is correct, here’s how you can accomplish that.

In wp-content >> themes, rename the default folder. Something like old-default works well so you remember what it is.

Then, rename the folder of the theme that you want to be set as default.

i.e. rename buddypress-home to default

Have you made ANY changes to your themes? i.e. Changed div’s by adding or removing any of them? Changed anything in the stylesheets? One wrong letter or character can break everything. (believe me I know lol)

I may be mistaken but I’m pretty sure the home theme runs for everything except what you see when at http://yoursite.com/members/”whatever&#8221;

If you could either set up a test user for us or even just set the admin bar to show for logged out users, that’d be helpful.

Hi Matt,

very nice theme !

Does BP not have its own event-calendar build into it ?

Hi Andy,

is there a chance to have an “events-calendar per Group” ?

Many thanks,

Erich

The Skeleton Theme has a bug in header.php. In the top menu (the UL with id=”nav”) there are references for MEMBERS_SLUG, these should be BP_MEMBERS_SLUG of course.

Great work!

my default themes are the ones with rc2, but can’t reply. I’m certain because I had hard time fixing my css as I mistakenly deleted everything when I updated to rc2 official release.

Maythil-

I hope you don’t think I was being snooty to you. Your issue was simply not clear to me.

Anyway, I now understand that you want the entire screen to be constrained to exactly 800 pixels in width, that you do not want the Buddy bar to be resized upon screen resizing.

There are a few ways to accomplish this. But, the best way is to create a CSS selector that will override the selector in the core file.

If you go to the admin-bar-logo.css file and look at the #wp-admin-bar selector, you’ll see that it has a width property set to 100%. This needs to be changed to your desired fixed width. But, do not change it within this file because it will be lost upon the next BuddyPress upgrade.

Instead, you place your custom CSS in the site-wide-sample.css file found in the BuddyPress-home/css directory. You must rename that file to site-wide.css. Now, your custom CSS selector will override the core BP CSS. Here’s what you’ll place in that file:

#wp-admin-bar { width: 800px !important; }

By the way, do you use Firebug with Firefox? If you don’t, it is a great tool. It 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.

I hope this helps!

my admin bar is totally fucked since i am working with

wpmu 2.7.1

and buddypress rc2

the admin bar is as a menu at the footer of the theme

i am using everything standard with no plugin

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url') . '/css/yourfile.css' ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

mmm.. I confused. I deatived twiter to wire plugin and work now! Any idea?

wpmu 2.7.1 + BP lasts trunk (original theme, only change of color) + BPDEV last trunk

@Andy: I\’ll be installing a test build very soon.

My steps will be:

• Install test WPMU+Buddypress
• test
• if this works, migrate all data
• test
• if this works, perfect .. problem solved
• if it doesn\’t, it\’s a problem in the codebase…

Everyone having this problem seems to be having existing data; which might be the first thing to look out for …

It\’s for sure not the themebug with not accepting dashes in filenames; I tested, because my theme is called artistblog-v2 (yep, with a dash).

The problem was not solved, I\’ve noticed a NEW problem even, with the preview not showing up in the right frame (rather in the full frame, making it unable to click the \”use theme\” button), but that could be my theme too which needs to be modified.

Maybe something to think about, themes which don\’t get loaded in the lightbox, what about those to activate them ?

I’m not able to find it. Download contains only following:

Maythil-

I’m not entirely sure if I understand your issue with the Buddy bar. It is set so that it automatically resizes if you reduce the width of your browser’s window.

Give it a try. Drag the bottom, right corner of your browser window to the left, thus making the browser window narrower. The Buddy bar “resizes” as you narrow the window.
