BuddyPress.org

Hi, (My second post in an hour, apologies if that’s too much!)

I’m a developer just starting out on my first BuddyPress project. Really excited about it- after researching for a few weeks and trying out other solutions I determined BuddyPress was definitely the right way to go for creating a social network.

I’m currently trying to adapt the bp-legacy templates to a Bootstrap-based theme. I’d really like to rely purely on the bootstrap css and not load any buddypress css. But some of the buddypress functions include css class names. I have been converting them to accept arguments but I really don’t want to update the buddypress core files.

For example:

from: function bp_get_options_nav() {…}
to: function bp_get_options_nav($css_selected_class = “current selected”) {…}

from: function bp_get_displayed_user_nav() {…}
to: function bp_get_displayed_user_nav($css_selected_class = “current selected”) {…}

It could be taken farther to include the html tags to use, but for now I just use the standard unordered lists.

Is there a better way other than modifying the buddypress core files? Or should I just give in and make CSS classes to fit buddypress?
