That’s it for now

Hi @tubruk,

From what you typed, I can’t really confirm what it is you want to do.

Sounds more like a theme issue, you might want to check modemlooper’s BP Columns theme for hints on how to structure the page into 3 columns:
https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/bp-columns

I’m not sure why this still isn’t possible – in the default theme the image seems to be hard coded to read 150×150 but there is plenty of space all around it. It would be great if anyone could tell me where I could change the dimensions. Stretching the image through css would probably look bad.

Thanks

require( ‘./wp-load.php’ );
require( ‘./wp-blog-header.php’ );
require($_SERVER . “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php”);

These are the dependencies for the BP registration process. Once all 3 are loaded, the form will work.

I have a custom BP installation in which I bypass the main BP index.php file and use WPMU and BP functions as I need them.

To get the slugs to work, I change my .htaccess file as such:

RewriteRule . index.php?slug=1 [L,NC,QSA]

and then my index.php as such:

if (isset($_GET)) require( ‘./wp-blog-header.php’ );

In that way, the BP header is only loaded when a slug is used, and I can bypass it otherwise.

Not ideal but I guess as long as it works. Generally speaking it must be the responsibility of each theme writer to support their theme and to correct any issues that may arise through it, otherwise it would become an increased burden on the main support site.

what params can be passed to the members loop (edit a theme file or create a child theme for members/index)
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-members-loop/

but a small bug, if no xprofile data then not all the members will be returned
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1670

Your first port of call should really have been the themes home having established it is a theme issue or so it would appear.

If you read through this page you arrive at:
http://freebpthemes.com/themes/buddymatic/?replytocom=409#respond

Which appears to be a similar or the same issue? and it might be worth adding to this comment stream? There is also a possible solution that might be tested.

Feature Request: So far plugin runs good on my site but I wold like a option to turn off the share button on my posts. I only want it for the buddypress side as I already have some form of sharing incorporated on my posts and this does not mesh well with my theme. Thanks

To confirm: you can use custom permalinks without problem in the default wp install.. Changing them as suggested to /%category%/%postname% ?

If that’s the case, try installing BuddyPress plugin again using the automatic install, switch to the bp-default theme, and let us know the outcome

@skolbloggense: BP-Slick uses the same BuddyPress translation strings so the theme should just work fine with your Translation. The only thing that is not yet translated is the menu navigation. But that can all be found in one file, which is organized and very easy to edit. I think it will take you about 10 mins to translate it!

I will add po/mo files to the theme pretty soon (to make upgrading easier, so you won’t lose changes) but right now it’s yet added The Theme is now for sale btw.. It can be purchased with 20% discount until the end of the week: http://bp-tricks.com/purchase-bp-slick/.

Here’s the sales page with it’s features: http://bp-tricks.com/pre-order-bp-slick/. And a short video on how to get it running: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMb7tXXV6Rw&feature=player_embedded

@Bowe: Does your theme has the possabillity for translation in a .po file? Its pretty important for me to have the site in Swedish….

Off the top of my head locate the min / max widths and replace them with width:960px or larger if you really wish. Child theme approach is best as then you can move a copy of the bp default css to your own folder to work on , problem is that min/max properties are a nuisance as they can’t be unset as such, once stated you are stuck with the damned things ‘auto’ is not a value for min/max nor is re-setting them to ‘0’ so the original property decs need to be removed really.

It works for me!

As always first question – as in the other thread – is does it work if you drop back to the default theme?

@johnnyscience – does it work if you switch to the default theme?

If so, you know the problem is in your theme, and you should probably try contacting labsecrets.com for advice on this one

If not, fire it back on here

What theme and plugins are you running. if custom theme does this occur when using default. If running plugins disable all but necessary i.e BP does it still occur?

Does that link url have any meaning to you?

The layout of default is a fluid one, the image is going to look diffrent on various browsers depending on their width and screen resolutions.

The instruction to set an image with a width of 1250px is not an indication the image will be fine, an image of that width will only display fully if your browser has at least 1338px width, start to narrow the browser width and the element being asked to hold the background also has to reduce in width thus clipping the background.

Creating graphics and placing them appropriately for fluid layouts is actually a lot harder than it appears.

The method that would ordinarily be used would be to divide the graphics in to two separate slices, the right hand stripes portion would be it’s own graphic this would be placed as a background to an inner element to the main one holding the other graphic, the new element would be left to simply run full width of it’s parent i.e default natural behavior of a block level element the red stripes would then be set as a background to this new element but placed at 100% on the y-axis i.e all the way to the right.

Now what occurs is that the right hand graphic moves independently of the left it will sit to the right hand edge of the header. Drawback to this is that you have to be aware of what has been set as a min-width for the layout if this value is too small it will allow the graphic to move too far together and overlap; min-width need to be sufficient to keep the two images reasonably separate.

I’m afraid that the bp-default theme is not really geared up to handle a graphic of the type you have made, with it’s principle resting on clipping the header image at smaller width thus requiring an image type that still makes sense if pert of it is hidden.

Another solution is to set the bp-default layout to a suitable fixed width and match your header graphic to that width, then the issue doesn’t occur.

Failing all that your last option is to move the stripes to the left by the amount that is appropriate at the layout min-width for it to show fully, now when you expand the browser you will eventually arrive at a blank area where the stripes run out /end so you will need to run the graphic on from the point where the stripes meet the bottom of the header or height, so for ~100px or so you need to continue the graphic albeit it clipped to top and bottom in your graphics software
