BuddyPress.org

It’s not a dummy question but there is little to go on, the best I can suggest is that you start of afresh create a child theme (which it sounds as though you have done) and start to add your old styles in and try and re-create the previous layout based on the new default theme, more than this and you would need to provide far more detail but i don’t think it would help, just a case of getting stuck in really and asking questions as and when you get stuck.

@svenl77 You said your using it for groups, i tried but it breaks my theme? Did you have any problems? I take it you have it in the group header, think I could look at your code mebe?
Iv’e tried placing the iframe just about everywere..

EDIT: was the unclosed iframe

@intimez – good info – thanks.

I also came across this code: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/removing-members-ability-invite-others-to-a-group/#post-48304

Which promises to hide the “invite friend” links (haven’t had success yet…)–

Or you can create a child theme that removes the links from your template… Though really, I agree the system should be more set up like this:

Public — anything goes
Private — only mods and admins can INVITE (not just approve)
Hidden — same as private – only others can’t see

Cheers

What kind of customization – the layout or functions within? If layout, then make changes in style.css of your active theme. If functions, check
profile loop https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-profile-data-loop-bp_has_profile/ and
member loop https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-members-loop/

What are you BP/WP versions? Have change settings permalinks to other than default? Are you using bp-default or bp-default child theme?

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/ please

Also, let us know which theme you’re using.

While a plugin would be ideal, have you considered just using a script and a DIV block inserted into the header.php file of your theme? I use a jquery banner script – http://www.mclelun.com/blog/2010/01/jquery-rotating-banner/ – on one site. It just cycles through four banners, each with links. BuddyPress already has jQuery in place, so I think it should work if you follow the guidance on the page re. the banner. Yes, it’s a quick and dirty solution – with no clever tracking within the site, but it is at least a solution!

This is the tut I learned from:

http://www.themelab.com/2008/04/18/see-how-easy-it-is-to-widgetize-wordpress-themes/

looks like a theme issue as that function is not part of the buddypress core

Hi cpkid2,

I have the same exact problem. Did you fix it by putting that code into the index.php file of groups/members/activity etc.? Because when I try it the formatting gets all messed up.

UPDATE: Figured it out -> edit header.php in your theme.

@justbishop Well I hope you got everything figured out and working

What I was suggesting is just something I am working on, not to create two admin bars, but to remove the old one and create a setup that allows you to design it into your theme however you want.

Have you tried adding this to your theme’s functions.php?
remove_action( 'bp_register_widgets', 'bp_core_register_widgets' );

Check out the links loop in /buddypress-links/themes/bp-links-default.php.
For parameters in the links loop, check out the bp_has_links() function in /buddypress-links/bp-links-templatetags.php.

The links loop works similar to any BP loop:

Looks good, but I got the following errors at the “accept-invitation” link you posted:

Warning: Division by zero in /home/givingsp/public_html/wp-content/themes/fishbook-buddypress-buddypack/registration/register.php on line 359

Warning: Division by zero in /home/givingsp/public_html/wp-content/themes/fishbook-buddypress-buddypack/registration/register.php on line 365

Can you be specific?

Are you talking about the blog author on the left hand side of the blog entry?

If so, copy over /bp-themes/bp-default/single.php to your child theme and remove the “author-box” div.

Then in your CSS to remove the left margin, do this:

div.post div.post-content {margin-left:0 !important;}

Okay this fixed it for me:

1. Download Jcrop (http://deepliquid.com/content/Jcrop.html)
2. Put the jquery.Jcrop.js file on your server in your theme /js folder
3. Link jcrop in your header.php in the header

get firefox, install firebug then right click on what ever you want in your theme and it will tell you what css rules apply to it or like the image’s location.
