@Annoyed, What theme are you using? Do you have a link I could take a look at. Often the problem is that a theme or plugin includes a different version of jquery to the that comes with WordPress. You could load jquery from google. Put this code at the top of your functions.php (in your theme folder)

`function my_init_method() {
wp_deregister_script( ‘jquery’ );
wp_register_script( ‘jquery’, ‘http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js’);
}

add_action(‘init’, ‘my_init_method’);`

You can use xprofile fields to specify certain CSS values in the users profile. Then you can retrieve the field value in the profile and modify the profile CSS with jquery. Its a bit of a work around but it works for me. Here’s an example:

1. Create an xprofile field and name it ‘Profile Background’
2. Edit your profile in buddypress and insert ‘#000000’
3. Go to wp-content/themes/yourtheme/members/single/member-header.php
4. On the 2nd line, just after “ paste the following code:
`
$(“#wrapper”).css(“background-color”, “”);
`

This will modify the profile background color according to what ever value you put in ‘Profile Background’

This is just off the top of my head, I’ll check how I’ve done it once I’m home this evening. I will be writing a plugin for this. The only drawback is the user needs javascript enabled other wise its pointless.

just go into header.php and add a link to the image that you want to use. You’ll see h1 logo and you could put it there or before but you’ll have to fix it via css to make it look right.

You’ll still have the problem that the dropdown for the “Visit” menu at the upper right doesn’t have room, because the dropdown incorrectly aligns to the right side of the screen. Just scoot it over a bit to the left to make room…

* html #wp-admin-bar ul li.align-right {
right: 140px;
}

Using this will completely fix the admin-bar in IE6, even when using fluid width.

body {
position: relative;
}
* html #wp-admin-bar {
position: absolute;
}
* html #wp-admin-bar .padder {
width: 100% !important;
}

Check out the template file `register.php`, located in `buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php`. You have a couple possible strategies:

1) Copy register.php to your child theme and add hidden inputs directly in the markup
2) Hook to one of the many do_actions littered through the code to add your fields. Eg
`function bbg_add_reg_field() {
echo ”;
}
add_action( ‘bp_before_registration_submit_buttons’, ‘bbg_add_reg_field’ );`

Then you’ll have to catch the data being sent. I recommend doing something like this
`function bbg_grab_reg_data() {
if ( isset( $_POST ) ) {
// do something with the custom data
}
}
add_action( ‘bp_complete_signup’, ‘bbg_grab_reg_data’ );`

I want to add my 2 cents on this. Can we get the default comments to mimic the activity stream?

guess i better upgrade to trunk

And I assume you’re using the BuddyPress Default theme?

Not quite, but here’s how to do it: http://buddydev.com/buddypress/creating-the-sitewide-globalunified-search-page-for-your-buddypress-theme/

You’re pulling in the original one, if you made changes in a copy then they won’t be applied.

path is :
_inc/css/

if you copied the default structure to a child theme.

Are you sure your @import paths are correct, are you actually calling the right adminbar.css? There are only a few rulesets that will govern these dimensions, Firebug is a extension for Firefox that will allow you to observe which rulesets are applied to an element when you hover the element in the viewport.

Then have you adjusted the min/max widths in adminbar.css?

try, rather than using !important, removing/ changing the offending ruleset in default. If you have copied default over to your child theme you are better of removing / adjusting styles in it than overriding. If you drop back to using default theme it will pick up the original styles.
