Theres a difference between adding to an established theme, and creating a standalone theme which is what it sounds like wooThemes is referring to and yes they’d be right, BP has yet to tackle this area of theming.

N.B your link is borked!

Fixed ‘http://’ is required for for external links

It’s not really at hard once you figure it out. The bp templates are easy to add. I’ve added bp to numerous woo themes over the past year with little fuss.

If you are talking about the adminbar (very top) then the template plugin references the file from the bp-default theme in the buddypress plugin directory but you can disable that file and code your own styles or place a copy of the file in your themes folder and add an @import call to it in your style.css, then changes will be preserved when you update BP (that can be a good or bad thing depending on the changes)

@Chaotic_Cannon You are forcing mercime to follow and respond to two threads on the same topic while trying to get you to focus on one; note the links posted! Please stop this it’s bad board nettiquette, choose one thread (likely this one given the direction of the questions) and stick to it.

A SC isn’t going to be much use to someone trying to help you with coding issues

You simply have styling issues and need to work through the stylesheets adjusting where necessary you may or probably have still to ensure that the markup in BP files copied to your wp theme match to the WP theme files if you have ‘alignment’ issues.

Above all if you need help with code you will need to let coders have sight of code, a link to the site – if it’s up live – would be best.

Er. No. Did you try copying and pasting the groups create template into this other part of your theme?

This is all possible but you will need to know how to create WordPress themes/templates. If you can’t, you’ll need to hire someone.

Likewise, because of the scope and complexity of this question, you’re unlikely to get any meaningful replies. Again, you’ll need to consider hiring someone, or at least installing BuddyPress and attempting to achieve these things, one step at a time.

@modemlooper – thanks!

I forgot to check for just members/groups so here’s the corrected version…

`
function sort_alpha_by_default( $qs ) {
global $bp;
if (!$qs && ( $bp->current_component == BP_GROUPS_SLUG || $bp->current_component == BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) )
$qs = ‘type=alphabetical&action=alphabetical’;
return $qs;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring’, ‘sort_alpha_by_default’ );
`

Yeah, I was in midst of correcting that hopefully before you saw it. Haste made waste.

function my_adminbar_name () {
global $bp;
echo '<a>root_domain . '" id="admin-bar-logo">Welcome Connect</a>';
}
remove_action('bp_adminbar_logo','bp_adminbar_logo');
add_action('bp_adminbar_logo','my_adminbar_name');

EDIT – Works when you put this in your active theme’s functions.php file (instead of the bp-custom.php file in plugins directory as mentioned above. Thanks to @DJPaul in this post).

Old thread but good google result… this mod seems to work best for me

1) add selected to your theme/child theme and also put Alphabetical at the top.
2) add this function into your theme’s functions.php
`
function sort_alpha_by_default( $qs ) {
return ($qs) ? $qs : ‘type=alphabetical&action=alphabetical’;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring’, ‘sort_alpha_by_default’ );
`

Hello qprints, if I understand, you could do something like:

– Add a profile field called “Proffession” in the profile settings of buddypress.
– And in your theme, depending on the value each user has on the “Proffession” field, enqueue a css that overwrites the default css and does what it needs. Example:

`
// Get Profile Field value for the $user_id specified and the field name specified
if ( xprofile_get_field_data( “Proffession” , $user_id) == “Engineer” ); {
// Enqueue the css
wp_enqueue_style (‘engineer-style’,’css/engineer.css’);
}
`

Hope it helps…

Gotta love GF.
Use the code below in your WP or BP theme functions.php file to tie a specific form to a custom post type.
Remember to set the form[“id”] to the id of the GF in the backend and then the slug of the CPT in the appropriate place below and that form will be tied to add posts to the CPT.

`
add_filter(“gform_post_data”, “update_post_type”, 10, 2);
function update_post_type($post_data, $form){

if($form[“id”] == ‘1’){
$post_data[“post_type”] = “custom-post-type”;
}
return $post_data;
}

Hello, I am new in the site. It took me a while but I found a solution for the autocomplete feature, but the problem is that it can only be fixed changing a Buddypress core file, and that’s not the way. Anyway here is how I did it (found the code in this forum, don’t remember where exactly, so I am not the author of the code I am sharing, sorry about that). In the file “wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-messages/bp-messages-cssjs.php”:

Line 37, the original code: ( Comment it )

`var acfb =
jQuery(“ul.first”).autoCompletefb({urlLookup:’root_domain . str_replace( ‘index.php’, ‘wp-load.php’, $_SERVER ) ?>’});`

Paste this code right after the previous line:

`var acfb = jQuery(“ul.first”).autoCompletefb(
{urlLookup:’root_domain . ‘/wp-load.php’; ?>’}
);`

It works for me with the latest version of Buddypress (1.2.7) and with the Friends feature enabled. My question is if it would be possible to include this in the latest Buddypress version so the autocomplete feature works out-of-the-box. I thought it didn’t work for me because I was using a custom buddy theme, but I tested it on a clean install with the default theme and it is broken when you first install it. I think that this way it would work from scratch. Probably you have been already told about this, sorry If I am being repetitive, and thank you for reading !

I hope you’ve also read up on creating and using a child-theme rather than editing bp-default. Makes updating BP a lot easier!
