BuddyPress.org

Damn Kunkel, that’s one nice theme. Did you make it yourself or did someone else make it for you?

I’m actually looking for someone who can customize a theme for me and integrate Buddypress and bbPress in it.

How hard do you think integrating BuddyPress into a site already running WP would be? Would it just be a matter of inserting php tags into where you would like certain features to appear? Or would it mean redesigning a whole theme so that it would work with BuddyPress?

I’m not much of a coder, but I know my way around. About how hard do you think integration with a WP theme would be?

Hey vskylabv, wait before leavin Revolution!

I’m currently adapting a Streamline theme to buddypress so I can help you!

You could use DarkPress: it’s cool, it’s for buddypress, and it’s free

http://www.buddydress.com/2009/03/darkpress-theme/

As I’m a Revolution/Studiopress (ab)user I can help you for sure, but you have to wait this late evening (GMT+1) when I’ll come back home.

Looks like it’s a float problem.

Make sure the members list div is on “float:left” and the sidebar div is “float:left” as well. Then you have to make sure that the total width of the divs (INCLUDING MARGINS) is less than the total with of the page. So if you’re working with percentages, make the total width 99% or so (say, members div = 59% sidebar is 30%). If you’re working with absolutes, make the total width 5 or 10px less than the page width. Be careful of the margins as they are OUTSIDE of the div widths and if they add up to more than the page’s width, your floats will not work.

Also make sure at the end of the two divs you put a <div class=”clear”></div> to clear up the floating for the footer.

I’ll jump on the wagon here – has there been any progress since this series of posts?

This support forum looks great, and as all I’m using is a modified buddypress theme whatever this site uses would be perfect.

Anything around that could do the job?

The prospect of starting from scratch isn’t something I’m particularly keen on to be honest.

sgrunt, ya I guess you wouldn’t need to mod the widget code, just the theme code. hmm. Well if Andy says it’ll go away by updating to latest trunk then it will. Warning! The theme directories have changed. See: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1675

I can’t reproduce this. I know this issue has cropped up before. I remember it now. Did you update your themes also?

You’ll have to modify the member theme functions that display the fields in the profile. That gets generated in: /buddypress-member/profile/profile-loop.php

by the function: bp_the_profile_field_value() in /mu-plugins/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-templatetags.php

There’s a filter in there that you can hook: echo apply_filters( ‘bp_the_profile_field_value’, $field->data->value, $field->type, $field->id );

So that you can detect these specific fields and change what gets generated by bp.

Let’s see, are you talking about all the links in the admin menu bar, the member theme or the home theme? It seems you want to know where *all* of them are.

(sigh) Ok.

The admin bar code is in: /mu-plugins/bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php

The code for the member theme is in: /wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member

The code for the home theme is in: /wp-content/themes/buddypress-home

Not specifically… although I have tried using the loader.php to load styles via custom.css over base.css. No effect. I can’t see a reference to bp_styles() in the buddypress templates anywhere… any idea where should I be looking?

Cheers.

update: Scratch that… found it in member theme. But adding that to the home theme has no effect (and it doesn’t appear to be included in the default bp home theme anyway).

Also, using a custom theme seems to break the ajax calls for the BuddyPress widgets (groups, members etc.)… clicking the links in these widgets takes you to the respective directory pages rather than refreshing the widgets.

@Nicola, I’m using the latest SVN build (1228) and I get this same issue.

There’s no doubt this is related to the use of a custom theme but having copied all the neccesary files and functions from both the home and member themes I have yet to discover the missing piece of the puzzle.

I had modified the original BP theme, I am going to go slower this time and watch what I can do to see if I can nail down the problem

and in the home folder here is functions.php

<?php

/* Register the widget columns */

here is the functions.php in the members

}

/* Hook for custom theme functions via plugins */

do_action( ‘bp_member_theme_functions’ );

?>

ah ok i understand your problem,

you’ve made new themes (member/home) or not updated, copy the bp hooks and function contained in the current svn in the functions.php of the member theme & home one to your functions.phps

Change /wp-content/member-themes/ to /wp-content/bp-themes

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

As I can remember, cuz I’m on a mobile, : #center-column has width of 260px, the same is for #right-column, so they are fixed width.

#left-column has only a margin-right of 560px.

Try to change #center-column width:285px and #left-column margin-right: 535px.
