BuddyPress.org

They work in the twenty ten theme, so it is definitely a theme problem. Can anyone help me figure it out, please?

Thank you for the fast reply!
I changed it to the default, and others I had installed and the error went away. Should I try to download the theme again or just avoid it all together?

I agree 100% with @Travel-Junkie. Functionality should be a added via plugins however the default theme is a kitchen sink and some networks need to weed out some of the functionality built in.

“The only exception I can think of is a mobile theme.”

So true learning this the hard way with my mobile theme. The default theme just doesn’t work well on a mobile screen. It’s got too much functionality. Had to start from scratch and only pull out the content needed. Had to strip all the add actions otherwise any plugin not designed to work with it would break it.

I’ve tried the header.php in budypress as well as the one in my Randy Candy theme…but they don’t seem to be there hummmm….

Stil vaguely new to buddypress as well

Ok, thought I’d follow up in case anyone tries to do the same thing.

Here’s the code that ended up working:

$user_id = $comment->user_id;
$isMember = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘Member’, $user_id );
if ($isMember == “”) {
} else {
?>

<?php
}

No idea how this would be done if you were testing for more than one checkbox though, but for my use (either checked or not), it worked just fine.

I think I solved it!!! Here’s how, in case anybody else wants to do something similar:

Step 1: edit “wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js”

Step 2: Go to line #35 (/* New posts */) and simply copy and paste the the new posts section right after it (line #102)

Step 3: Change every single value that refers to ids of the original form (e.g. change #aw-whats-new-submit to #mini-aw-whats-new-submit)

Step 4: Go to the mini-post code on your template and replace the ids. Obviously you have to use the same ids as the ones you created on Step 3

To make a long story long, here’s my code:
global.js

/* MINI-POST */
/* New posts */
jq(“input#mini-aw-whats-new-submit”).click( function() {
var button = jq(this);
var form = button.parent().parent().parent().parent();

form.children().each( function() {
if ( jq.nodeName(this, “textarea”) || jq.nodeName(this, “input”) )
jq(this).attr( ‘disabled’, ‘disabled’ );
});

jq( ‘form#’ + form.attr(‘id’) + ‘ span.ajax-loader’ ).show();

/* Remove any errors */
jq(‘div.error’).remove();
button.attr(‘disabled’,’disabled’);

/* Default POST values */
var object = ”;
var item_id = jq(“#mini-whats-new-post-in”).val();
var content = jq(“textarea#mini-whats-new”).val();

/* Set object for non-profile posts */
if ( item_id > 0 ) {
object = jq(“#mini-whats-new-post-object”).val();
}

jq.post( ajaxurl, {
action: ‘post_update’,
‘cookie’: encodeURIComponent(document.cookie),
‘_wpnonce_post_update’: jq(“input#_wpnonce_post_update”).val(),
‘content’: content,
‘object’: object,
‘item_id’: item_id
},
function(response)
{
jq( ‘form#’ + form.attr(‘id’) + ‘ span.ajax-loader’ ).hide();

form.children().each( function() {
if ( jq.nodeName(this, “textarea”) || jq.nodeName(this, “input”) )
jq(this).attr( ‘disabled’, ” );
});

/* Check for errors and append if found. */
if ( response[0] + response[1] == ‘-1’ ) {
form.prepend( response.substr( 2, response.length ) );
jq( ‘form#’ + form.attr(‘id’) + ‘ div.error’).hide().fadeIn( 200 );
button.attr(“disabled”, ”);
} else {
if ( 0 == jq(“ul.activity-list”).length ) {
jq(“div.error”).slideUp(100).remove();
jq(“div#message”).slideUp(100).remove();
jq(“div.activity”).append( ‘

‘ );
}

jq(“ul.activity-list”).prepend(response);
jq(“ul.activity-list li:first”).addClass(‘new-update’);
jq(“li.new-update”).hide().slideDown( 300 );
jq(“li.new-update”).removeClass( ‘new-update’ );
jq(“textarea#mini-whats-new”).val(”);

/* Re-enable the submit button after 8 seconds. */
setTimeout( function() { button.attr(“disabled”, ”); }, 8000 );
}
});

return false;
});
/* MINI-POST */

and the form for the new “mini-post-form”

@M What is this custom theme code and where can I learn more about it? Thanks.

@pcwriter Thanks! I will look into it. any other suggestions?
