Anyone else have any ideas?
Hey mercime – cleared cache across the board with no result. And my bp template files are in the main theme’s root, per the instructions on the bp template pack plugin.
You can check out an example here: http://s338450341.onlinehome.us/members/taylor/activity/
I have an index.php file (in the activity folder) that has totally different styles yet this old code is still showing up.
@modemlooper, thats a pretty neat little .js library. Cool.
@mohansingh, IE6 is what satan excreted on the internet back in the stone age. You shouldn’t be bothered about IE6 actually. Try this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nomoreie6/
“I’ve been taught not to mess with those files because when update day comes im screwed.”
@porscheheritage, you can mess with those files as much as you please as long as you are not editing the files within pluginsbuddypressbp-themesbp-default
You should in fact have a child theme an entirely new theme to edit so you don’t run into problems if you update buddypress.
1)
uses the same theme activity templates in activity/entry.php – you could add some conditional logged_in checks and display a message
2)
you can modify members/single/activity/permalink.php theme file (but requires some tandem css changes)
Yes nothing supports the bloody IE6 Browser.
I’m not sure what you mean by reformatting “to a stacked output”, but you can definitely modify the output of bp_activity_action() without modifying the core BP files. In your theme’s functions.php, try a function like the following:
`function holt_modify_action( $action, $activity ) {
// $action is the unmodified action text produced by BP.
// $activity is a structured object with information about the activity
// Use those two values to concatenate whatever value you’d like, and then return it like this:
return $my_action;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_action’, ‘holt_modify_action’, 10, 2 );`
Sounds to me like most of your requirements could be met with WP Multisite plus a few selected plugins and themes.
– P2 allows for front-end posting
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/more-privacy-options/ expands WP’s default privacy options to allow blog admins to hide their blogs from everyone but themselves
– Forums could be accomplished with bbPress or a forum-specific WP plugin
Depending on what you need out of “blogs”, you might also be able to repurpose BuddyPress groups to do something similar. For instance:
– Each member is the sole member of a private/hidden group, and uses BP activity to “blog”. Since this happens through BP, there is no WP Dashboard involved.
– Likewise with Notes
– Depending on what you want with “Link List”, that can be pretty easily done with an additional profile field.
– Forums would of course be built in, in the form of non-private groups that the user could join.
How to decide? If you don’t need the rich functionality of blogs (post revision history, out of the box multimedia support, etc), then actually giving each user two WP blogs might be too much overhead. In that case, BP would be a good choice. The functionality that you’d need is all already there; your work would be limited to customizing and configuring the interface.
Nevermind, 0.1.9 breaks everything. Gives error upon install, breaks the theme, returns huge errors trying to use it and a 404 error when trying to upload an image. Back to the old release and one more time request for the core developers to consider adding this as an internal feature of BP.
About #1, I’m using Child theme. According to BP Docs, “if you want to override a template file that is in a sub folder, you must also recreate the sub folder in your child theme”. So, should I copy the whole sub-folder of “/member/single” or “/single” into my child them, or I just create an empty sub-folder of “/member” or “member/single”?
#1 look at the /members/single/member-header.php file in there you will see a commented out line of code that will enable display of extra profile fields, if you have created them – exact positioning of that data is down to where you decide to output it in the theme.
#2 undoubtedly yes, but it’s a slightly big subject to give a simple explanation of. In a nutshell: given that we can check the displayed member id then in theory you could use that to run a conditional to render different markup depending on the member profile being viewed.
#3 ? not sure what you mean by this.
I just checked out your site with Avenue K9 (BuddyPress BuddyPack) Theme. You seemed to have fixed redirect to homepage issues because I’m not being redirected to homepage at all.
“I still have the issue. I changed my theme to Jooc Buddypress Theme”
If you change theme to bp-default theme, is admin bar showing up in front end? If so and it’s not showing up in the Jooc theme, and you say wp_footer hook is in footer.php of theme, then I suggest you contact Jooc theme authors.
Might be a browser issue – clear cache. Open another kind of browser to view your revisions. Also, are you sure you uploaded the revised files in the correct folder?
@bondjamesbond007 shaken, not stirred? 
Before anything else, I see that you’re using the bp-default theme and that you’re making revisions directly on that theme. If or when you upgrade BuddyPress, any revisions you made will be overwritten. I recommend you create a child theme of bp-default theme and make your revisions in the child theme.
As for the “sidebar overlaps part of the content at its left”, this is to be expected when content exceeds maximum or minimum width as indicated in style.css where
`body {
…
max-width:1250px;
min-width:960px;
…
}`
you can instead change body width to fixed width of e.g. 980px or 1000px in your child theme’s style.css so you have a more realistic palette to place your videos, slideshows, etc.
Mercime: I´m using BuddyPress Default 1.2.5.2 Theme. My URL is: http://www.rumbar.co/
Tks in advance for your help!
Too many possibilities to list here. What theme are you using? Site URL?
You need to use a wordpress 3.0 compatible theme or create a child theme based on twentyten or buddypress and use that.
Hej Patrik – are you building your own theme for this (writing PHP, HTML templates, etc.)?
You’ll have to modify the templates for your profile page (e.g. members/single/home.php in the default theme) to include your custom activity loop.
You can access the current user_id within that page, and pass it to your custom loop.
You can create your own WordPress page template or widget and create a loop that calls the group avatars. The current groups widget is a good start to see how it works. Also check the theme files group loop.
And make sure that bp-custom.php goes in your wp-content/plugins directory, NOT in the theme folder.
