You’ll have to tweak the header file a bit to assign unique classes that correspond to those tab links. But while you’re at it, you might as well just turn those tabs into Custom Menu tabs (WP 3.0 feature) like @modemlooper detailed here… http://modemloop.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/buddypress-drop-down-menus/ (just take those li classes and drop in some background pics for your tabs).
The dropdowns look great however they seem like they would be a bit confusing to users. What exactly would i need to edit in the header file?
sorry to bump, but can anyone give me a hand?
– Copy over the header.php from bp-default theme to your child theme.
– Open header.php and add class to the li’s of default BP components starting from line 47 on header.php
<li class="icon-home">
<li class="icon-activity">
<li class="icon-members">
<li class="icon-groups">
<li class="icon-forums">
You would have to ask plugin authors of “Links” and “Achievements” on how to generate addition class for styling hook.
– after you’re done, save and upload to your child theme folder in server
– in style.css add background image to li.icon-members, li.icon–groups, etc.
