BuddyPress.org

the latest trunk of buddypress requires a change in the name of member theme folder:

OLD:

/wp-content/member-themes

NEW:

/wp-content/bp-themes

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1675

Re-read the instructions and try again? It sounds to me like some files aren’t in the correct spots or that some files were corrupted in the upload process.

To address your specific issues:

1.) The BuddyPress admin bar includes the link to your #2 question, but if you want to remove it from the front-end, you would have to check the defined('IN_ADMIN') variable and only load the buddybar if so. Could probably make a filter for this in functions.php, but I’m not in front of the source to give you a turn-key solution at the moment.

2.) The link is part of the buddybar. Otherwise you can type it in the address bar yourself or customize the theme to fit the way you want it to perform. Aside from that, none of the WPMU themes will know how to redirect you to any specific blog admin area aside from their own, and they wouldn’t know which other blogs you have access to. That’s what the BuddyBar is fore. (Note to self: It would be cool to have a link to the admin area of each blog when viewing /blogs/my-blogs.)

3.) Are you using a vanilla install with the vanilla theme? Vanilla meaning included… If so, do you have a link to your website so that I can see what’s happening?

Remember guys (and I realize this is no excuse) but neither BuddyPress nor bbPress are even 1.0 yet. As soon as function calls and display functions are finalized and tweaked for a stable 1.0 release, you’ll see tons of themes and templates and frameworks.

The opportunity currently exists for anyone with the time and motivation to swoop in and start blasting out themes for both platforms, but they would do it knowing that they may have to go back and redo some things after 1.0 is out.

I think right now everyone is waiting for the ball to drop, because no one wants to do the same work twice. I’d love to release my bbPress theme, but I have 0 time to answer questions about it or support it, and that’s not fair to anyone either.

Make sense?

Brian, the file itself is in bp-core/css/admin-bar.css, but like Jeffca mentioned you can also make a site-wide.css file, and place it in your currently active home theme\’s /css directory, and it will work everywhere within your site, even inside the member theme.

That way you\’re only editing one file, and it\’s on your own terms.

I’ve added my fix to a trac ticket so it will get reviewed and possibly fixed in the core for future updates. The goal with all of this is NOT to edit or hack the core, but to have the core be as universally compliant as possible, and still allow for customization later.

You mean the same theme as the main install? The buddypress-home theme? It is possible by using one of the plugins out there to make a theme default (premium.wpmudev.org) or by just renaming the buddypress-home theme to “default” so that wpmu picks it up. Not sure if anything is hardcoded in the buddypress-home or member themes that would screw up, but might be worth testing out.

@Nicola:

Doesn’t work – just kills all styles. BTW: I’m not using your theme. So this is the problem Your hack only with your theme.

CSS hardcoding – great.

@Bbrian017 Each theme has its own header.php, so depending on the theme they select, the titles will vary.

The default theme has more than the website name, ie. http://mayo.testbp.org/2009/03/25/hello-world/

bbPress theme is still missing

looks good but I don’t like that I have to register to download it!

We might want to think about making template and theme developers supply download links to post inside the forums!

You can change your blog titles in your themes\’ header.php files.

I believe there are others using all-in-one-seo plugin too.

Why isnt it downloadable yet !?

And how about the bbPress theme ?!

They develop a ‘thing’ but it still is if you are walking in a supermarket, and evrything is behind glass :S

ehm.. it’s not downloadable yet..

Where can we download this bbPress theme ?

I’ll try to set a little plugin or something later, but for the moment you can follow this method, it’s the Fishbowl81’s code adapted for ebay editor kit:

Edit your bp-xprofile-filters.php by placing the following code after the custom buddypress filters:

function bp_profile_ebay_display( $field_value "", $field_type = "", $field_id = "" ) {

{ // clean up input

return "<script language='JavaScript' src='http://lapi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?EKServer&ai=lwa%7Bfwvw%7Esa%7Cwsyw%60&bdrcolor=CCCCCC&cid=0&eksize=1&encode=UTF-8&endcolor=FF0000&endtime=n&fbgcolor=FFFFFF&fntcolor=000000&fs=0&hdrcolor=FFFFFF&hdrimage=1&hdrsrch=n&img=y&lnkcolor=75179C&logo=3&num=5&numbid=n&paypal=n&popup=n&prvd=9&r0=4&shipcost=n&si=".addslashes($field_value)."&sid=BP&siteid=0&sort=MetaEndSort&sortby=endtime&sortdir=asc&srchdesc=n&tbgcolor=FFFFFF&tlecolor=FFFFFF&tlefs=0&tlfcolor=000000&toolid=10004&track=5336248810&watchcat=63850&width=350'></script>";

}

}

function bp_profile_ebay_groups( $group_name "") {

if($group_name == "My Ebay listings"){

remove_filter( 'bp_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 2);

add_filter( 'bp_the_profile_field_value', 'bp_profile_ebay_display', 2, 3);

}else{

add_filter( 'bp_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 2, 3);

remove_filter( 'bp_the_profile_field_value', 'bp_profile_ebay_display', 2);

}

return $group_name;

}

add_filter( 'bp_the_profile_group_name', 'bp_profile_ebay_groups', 10, 1 );

Also it depend of your css code but it can be useful to put this in your member theme’s stylesheet (base or your custom stylesheet).

Then create a profile field group named “My Ebay listings” and a profile field like ebay username and you’re done!

If you\’re talking about your #nav, then in:

http://gigbuddy.org/wp-content/themes/gigbuddy-home/css/base.css

Line 97

The below will sit it lower and mostly match your sites margins. I think that looks the best to me.

Change your margin to:

margin: 120px 0 15px;

Design wise you will then still have rounded corners to worry about:

http://gigbuddy.org/wp-content/themes/gigbuddy-home/css/base.css

Line 105

Change accordingly:

-moz-border-radius-bottomleft:0;

-moz-border-radius-bottomright:0;

-moz-border-radius-topleft:3px;

-moz-border-radius-topright:3px;

Regarding the width of the nav, Are you saying that you want each one of the links to be a fixed width? To stretch them all across the 900px page width?

if you’ve bpdev plugins installed you can do that without touching the code:

<?php

function register_my_css() {

bpdev_theme_register_style(

‘my-css-hack’,

‘My Css hack’,

‘my_css’,

‘on’,

‘on’

);

}

function my_css() {

?>

#wp-admin-bar ul {

height: auto !important;

}

<?php

}

?>

and save it in a new file under /mu-plugins

So when bp will update that, you can switch this thing off via the WP Admin-> BPDEV Admin -> BPDEV Theme

Possible that something is just being stubborn here.

Member-theme is fine, searching for groups and members is fine, member profiles are fine, but viewing specific groups are not.

According to firebug, Andy is right and your structure.css file is missing.

I would say more mysterious, the optionsbar.php and userbar.php are also missing. This leads me to believe the TEMPLATEPATH variable is also getting the wrong idea as to where it’s at maybe when viewing a group profile?

It’s crazy – I tried to figure that out for hours… no it works. It wasn’t a plugin, but a js-conflict from the theme. Strange is only, that it once worked, and then not anymore.

For me the issue is solved…

Thanks

I’ll post them in good time, they’re a bit down on the list right now.

You can just remove the search login bar from the template – Just remove:

<div id="search-login-bar">

<?php bp_search_form() ?>

<?php bp_login_bar() ?>



<div class="clear"></div>

</div>

From header.php of the home and member themes if you are using both.

I have managed to customize the theme, moved the columns according to my design and even modified few things..

Do let me know the feedback.

Deep

You can disable the admin bar completely by putting this in your bp-custom.php:

function my_remove_adminbar(){

remove_action( 'wp_footer', 'bp_core_admin_bar', 8 );

remove_action( 'wp_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );



remove_action( 'admin_footer', 'bp_core_admin_bar' );

remove_action( 'admin_menu', 'bp_core_add_admin_css' );

}

add_action( 'bp_home_theme_functions', 'my_remove_adminbar');

add_action( 'bp_member_theme_functions' , 'my_remove_adminbar');

If you want to leave the gap that the css reserves for the bar then don’t put in the remove_action()’s for the css. You can disable this by commenting out the two lines: add_action(‘bp_home_theme_functions’…) and add_action(‘bp_member_theme_functions’…).

You can selectively disable/enable it for the home theme or the member theme by choosing to disable/enable it with the above technique also.

The member and home theme’s functions.php file triggers those two functions as the last thing that happens in both areas. The hook is designed to allow just such a thing. I’m so glad that Andy is ‘hook happy’.
