yeah, it seems strange to turn everything off.

but i too have some things i didn’t want to appear in the interface for users – sometimes disabling leaves the button but returns a “you can’t create a new blog” message (for example).

and it’s definitely not a bulletproof solution, but what i’m doing is just hiding those buttons, forms, etc. via CSS, or removing post-load with jquery calls. it’s true that with any developer plugins, they could turn off javascript or tweak the css, but that doesn’t bother me. if they find a way to get in there and post content that no one can see, sure it’ll get added to the database… but it’s kind of like the tree that fell in the forest that no one was there to hear. other things like the toolbar at the top you can remove via plugins.

I have WPMU setup in the root, but wanted to have the “community” page on a different page as well.

Here’s what I did:

1. Create a new WordPress page template with the BP widget toolbar calls in it.
2. Create a new WordPress page and apply the page template you created in step #1.
3. Add BP widgets to the BP widget toolbar.

That should be it!

thanks again r-a-y, It worked when I moved the bbcode-buttons toolbar plugin from “my-plugins folder” to “bb-plugins folder”!

I have bbcode-lite lying in “my-plugins folder” and bbcode-buttons doing the job in “bb-plugins folder” ))

Interesting that, i had the similar problem with lookslike buddypress theme, when I had it in my-templates folder it would not activate, but activated when I moved it to bb-templates!

It works for me… I’m using bbPress 1.0.1 as well.

FYI, I’m using _ck_’s BBcode Lite and BBcode Buttons Toolbar plugins.

Using Comment Form Quicktags (which puts it for the blog), I was able to tweak a little and get it to work by manually editing files.

For the Wire, I edited my theme’s membertheme/wire/post-forum.php from

<textarea name="wire-post-textarea" id="wire-post-textarea"></textarea>

to

<script type="text/javascript">edToolbar();</script>

<textarea name="wire-post-textarea" id="wire-post-textarea"></textarea>

<script type="text/javascript">var edCanvas = document.getElementById('wire-post-textarea');</script>

In theory the plugin should be hackable, but adding this:

add_action('wire-post-textarea', array(&$this, 'detect_end'));

to

/**

* Start to detect <textarea>.

*/

function detect_start($file) {

ob_start(array(&$this, 'add_tags'));

$this->ended = false;

add_action('comment_form', array(&$this, 'detect_end'));

add_action('wp_footer', array(&$this, 'detect_end'));



return $file;

}

didn’t work so I’ll have to keep poking around.

just like you did it with your logo, simply modify css classes for navigation.

Using dev toolbar on firefox helps you find css functions. I highly recommend this.

If you use Firefox add the Web Developer toolbar. It saves me a lot of time when I need to understand how things work .

The test site is acting a bit odd when I login with my Facebook account. It thinks my profile is http://testbp.org/members/facebookuser/ which belongs to a Trent Adams. Trying to view settings redirects back to http://testbp.org/members/facebookuser/, as does trying to logout through the top grey toolbar.

I’ve restricted my facebook profile quite a bit so maybe its relying on information facebook isn’t providing.

Anything is possible. There is a feature freeze until 1.0 is released. Fine idea though.

Yes, please. That would be awesome.

check out this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymcecomments/

Why the need of a preview box if you have the What You See Is What You Get Editor in the same place as your visitors type in the comments?

This plugin turns the comment field from a primitive into a WYSIWYG editor, using the internal TinyMCE library bundled with WordPress 2.0 or up, without the need of another separate installation. Functions that only available to writers like adding images were removed and will not show up in the toolbar.

If you add to the mu-plugins and add this line to the end of the plugin file:

add_action(‘template_notices’, ‘mcecomment_init’);

This is only the concept, I have not tested it, and don’t have the time but wanted to point you in a direction.

Which ‘toolbar’ are you talking about. We have three that might be the one you are talking about. We have the ‘member adminbar’ which has ‘my account’ ‘my blogs’…, the member and home theme ‘button bar’ which have ‘news’, ‘groups’…

In all cases you have to modify the code or develop a plugin to make additions or modifications.
