Are you able to sneak the setting in at the top of functions.php? Or is this for a plugin you’re developing?
@djpaul
It’s for a theme I’m developing and yes, I can put it in functions.php (he says, mouth watering in anticipation…)
@djpaul
Did you have something specific in mind?
Or are you just encouraging further attempts from my feeble mind?
Just what’s linked to in the previous post:
`
if ( ! defined( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’ ) )
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ );
`
Never been able to get this working in anything other than wp-config or bp-custom in functions.php it appears to be too late to be acknowledged – not useful in one wants portability via functions.php for a theme
So, file a bug report if you feel it should work in functions.php
No I won’t
Personally never thought that it should work in functions.php, perhaps it should? not really sure, we’ll leave the bug reporting to pcwriter
@djpaul @hnla
I’ve tried this every which way but sideways, but can’t get it working either in functions.php. Too bad, it would have made a sweet addition to the theme options.
As for reporting it; I don’t think it can be qualified as a bug. At most, an oversight. Maybe the utility of such a function hasn’t been brought to light until now?
OK. Ticket filed for suggested enhancement: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/3007
Lol… got a response in trac… from the same fellow who responded in this thread: can’t be done.
At least now it’s official
