You are missing some CSS. This is the theme that’s in the WP repo. http://tempsg.com I notice that a plugin is adding @jQuery more than once and this theme is using jQuery to add CSS. Try disabling plugins. Having jquery load more than once can break javascript. Might be the site wide activity widget.

Hey, All
Trying to add the Citizen Kane theme. I am having some difficulties. I have set it up as listed earlier in the thread and in the Read Me file. I do not have the three columns as shown at the download link (http://bit.ly/dSbwAM). Mine is all over the place and I am having a hard time finding where to fix it in the code. My sidebar column is showing up at the bottom of the page under everything else and the breaking news column appears to be under everything else. Here is my page – http://bit.ly/erVTP6 – any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I’m using the buddypress side bar which is great for creating new widget areas for widgets, I haven’t quite figured it all out yet but so far pretty promising. Then more to the point of your question is the “login with ajax” module which allows for redirects and all other sorts of options. This module is very easy to understand. I did have my site crash though, when I used it in conjunction with the “theme my login” module that I forgot to remove first. After setting up the redirect url’s for the “login with ajax” module, I then went into the widget setup area, and added the “login with ajax” widget into one of the side bars. Works great so far!!! I just have to search for a way to get rid of the login link on my buddy admin bar and I am good to go, well I still have to figure out how to put a widget into my header, but that’s for another forum search topic. Hope this helps you out.

Sorry to bother @modemlooper, I was just wondering if you had time to have a look at the second column cut problem with Thin Wide Thin template ?

Thanks

The login stuff should be easy, just modify this plugin to go to activity instead of profile: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-redirect-to-profile/

I think there’s a similar plugin for redirecting after log out. Although, I think the default log out action is to send you to the home page.

To get the landing page as the home page, you can either modify the index.php in your theme to be what you want. Or you can make a page template and set that as the home page in your WP settings or…I think there’s other ways, but that should work.

Thanks – that worked.

that code above is messed, buddypress forum keeps messing with my code?? not sure why? if you open the style.css in your theme directory you will see the code to import css files, but id suggest just add to the new code to your _inc/css/deafult.css file

First off id suggest making a child theme, more info here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

You can put the html code in the header.php found in your theme folder, im not sure where you want it placed exactly so you will have to trail and error untill you find the right position.

The corresponding css code should be put in the _inc/css/deafult.css file, OR you could make a new separate css file and include this in your main css file like so

` @import url( _inc/css/your_new_file.css );`

http://www.woothemes.com/2010/03/cityguide/ plus BP plus BP Template Pack plus One Quick Post or something similar.

Some recommend copying the default CSS over to your stylesheet.

Benefits of this approach is one less data request and full control over your styles (good when you’re designing a completely different look from bp-default).

Negative is if your child theme completely relies on the bp-default theme with little design changes, you might as well use the @import- declaration so you can easily override selected style declarations on a case-by-case basis. Some theme designers frown upon using !important, but at the end of the day, it’s your call.

Re #1 – BP 1.2.7 will fix this.

If you can’t wait until then, try the solution posted in this thread:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/am-i-going-mad-or-are-there-now-avatars-next-to-posts-in-the-activity-stream/?topic_page=2&num=15#post-76621

Re #2 – Most likely a child theme issue. Can you post a screenshot to confirm?

@zomex – You might want to try this in your theme’s functions.php:

`remove_action( ‘init’, ‘bp_core_add_admin_bar_css’ );

if ( !is_admin() )
add_action( ‘init’, ‘bp_core_add_admin_bar_css’ );`

Untested, but give it a shot.

Actually, based on your report, it’s hard to give a definitive answer. What exactly is breaking in the admin area?

@janis It seems to be the avatar of the blog so if you have multiple blogs you can have different avatars for each blog. I’ve been going nuts trying to figure out how to upload a new avatar for each blog so it doesn’t look generic but I haven’t figured it out yet. If the monitors of this thread know please let me know. Also, In regards to the latest post you just need to adjust the CSS on the style sheet of the theme you are using.

There are a few possible approaches to integrating them together, and the ones you need are possible even today. That’s actually exactly how bbPress works in the WordPress plugin repository, attaching plugins to tags in essence giving them their own ‘forum’ in a sense.

The first iteration will probably closely mirror how things work today, for the sake of it being an easy transition for everyone’s existing data. The last thing we want to happen is to force anyone to make changes to their existing setups. In future iterations we’ll include some options on how you want to configure them to communicate to each other. This may be strongly theme dependent though, since all of these components would need to have the proper hooks and CSS in place to style these elements correctly in any of the places they might appear.

mercime’s suggestion will work well if you want to keep people from commenting on certain kinds of activity items. If you want to turn off updates entirely, you may want to do it at the theme level. You’ll need a child theme (https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/). In that child theme, make sure you have a file groups/single/activity.php. You can get the content of that file from wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/activity.php. Then, in the version of activity.php in your child theme, remove the following lines:
`

`

similar problem over here, autocomplete function finds valid users and shows them up, but in the following lines an error is displayed 3 times:

“Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at mountpointwp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-themesbp-default_incajax.php:556 in mountpointwp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-messages.php on line 556”

any idea?

by the way, is there a plugin which enables a better useabbility for choosing multiple user’s to send a private message to? Something like a list with checkboxes for example?

Create a child theme of bp-default theme, upload and activate. Then go to dashboard Appearance > Widgets and drag the “Recently Active Member Avatars” widget to Sidebar and save it.
