i have a plugin that do tabs and other stuff with shortcuts [Shortcodes Ultimate] …
i like buddypress but from the look of the profile and messaging , notifications …. are kinda old … no one is loading the whole page once click on sub-title (like View/edit under profile)
i wanted to make tabs for the whole thing ( they are fast , easy and look smarter )
could u guys help me because everytime i try … i get a white-screen on my whole website … and the only thing i can do is to delete Buddypress from file manager to save my website , then reinstall it again .
Firstly you do not need to delete/re-install BP every time, if you are having issues with white screen and you reckon that is BP having the issue then simply re-name the BP plugin folder which will force deactivate the plugin and allow you back in.
As to why you’re having a problem it’s hard to say as you say you are doing stuff yet fail to provide any level of technical detail on what you are trying so it’s near impossible to help further.
Try to provide a little more detail, although if you’re trying to bring ajax functionality to those subnav links then you may struggle.
well , thanks a lot for reading and replying to my post , i appreciate it.
also thanks alot for the tip that will save me a lot of time.
i am not a develober at all .. and i have very little interest in being one to be honest , i am an architect , but i want to make a very nice website for me and my friends ( since i have almost no money because i hadnt work yet – i decided to build it myself with wordpress plugins )
buddypress looks promising and that is what i like about it.
one thing i dont like about it so far …
when i press edit profile i see ( view, edit, change profile photo ) … when i ever click on anyone of them .. the whole page refresh like if i am visiting anther page .. which is really old ! … that is very bad.
i want to make tabs for everything. so that whenever i click on any of them … everything stays the same (no page refreshing ) , faster , fewer time loading and look much better .
tbh you state you’re not a developer and have little interest in being so, problem is there is a level of requirement where you will need some coding experience.
Maybe ajaxing those links would be good but it’ll require some work, however a page refresh is not an old thing it’s how things properly work.
More importantly I wouldn’t give up on BP just for the lack of ajaxed links, many sites are happily using BP installs with those links functioning in a standard fashion.
i can learn a tutorial or too to get this part done .
ofcourse i have no idea what ajaxing means .. but no please no refreshing pages , if i see it poor everyone else will see it poor.
i already have shortcut plugin that i have mentioned above.
[Shortcodes Ultimate]
this is how the shortcode look like for 3 tabs
[su_tabs][su_tab title=”Title 1″]Content 1[/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Title 2″]Content 2[/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Title 3″]Content 3[/su_tab][/su_tabs]
i have 3 Titles and 3 COntents … i suppose to put title on those titles and maybe the function in the content parts …
it doesnt look so hard maybe i can do that in Bp-custom.php … and refer to the functions somehow , i will need some help with that tho please.
where to start ? what code i should try ?
also i would like to check if bp_custom.php is working because i tried some couple of codes , the never work or gave any error or changes.
yes i have it in /wp-content/plugins … also in buddypress folder … but it doesnt seem to be doing anything at all ! .. please can we also make a test to check if everything is working correctly
???
I dont quite understand what you mean tbh about page refreshes when clicking a link or menu item? that is how web pages tend to work in general lol 🙂
However i do understand what you are saying about what you want to achieve, but you have to realize one thing first, if something doesnt work as your brain imagines it to work out of the box it does not mean you cannot make it work that way, as hugo said you should be really looking towards ajaxing certain parts of your website to acheive what you asked (you said you have no idea what ajaxing is yet you only need to type it in google to find out and read a few articles on what exactly ajaxing does to find out), ajaxing basically will let you do exactly what you are describing, you can read about it here https://codex.wordpress.org/AJAX
There are quite alot of wordpress ajax plugins around i have messed around with myself with mixed results when used with wordpress and buddypress, i suggest reading the link above then searching for a few ajax plugins and try them out for yourself 🙂
