I think this is actually an AWESOME idea, and one I’ve been poking around at in my head for a while.
Not sure there is a super easy way to incorporate this, but I’d love to see it done!
I hate to take the myspace approach, but could add <style>CSS</style> into the group description.
I’d love to actually just have several themes with different .css files and that’s it. Selecting a different theme would keep the same structure, but allow for different styling.
I ran across something similar.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/art-direction/
Allows ‘per blog post’ custom css. Cool.
In the case of bp the css gets queued up on a very selective basis. This is from bp-groups-cssjs.php in /mu-plugins/bp-groups:
function groups_add_structure_css() {
/* Enqueue the structure CSS file to give basic positional formatting for components */
wp_enqueue_style( ‘bp-groups-structure’, site_url( MUPLUGINDIR . ‘/bp-groups/css/structure.css’ ) );
}
add_action( ‘bp_styles’, ‘groups_add_structure_css’ );
We got actions too. Hook ‘bp_styles’ and define an override for the defaults. You might have a problem getting it in the sequence properly.
function my_custom_group_css(){
// check if the file exists and if it does queue it up
‘group-custom-‘ . $bp->groups->slug . ‘.css’
}
add_action(‘bp_styles’, ‘my_custom_group_css’, 99);
Here is a very very rough attempt,

as a note, you need to modify kses.php to allow style tags.

@fishbowl81, Not bad attempt but don’t go for the myspace route..How did you get the amazon plugin or lastfm?
if (the group is XBOX) add_action(‘wp_print_styles’, ‘your style hook’)
i made a good set of functions in bpdev theme to add stylesheet with condition, look here:
http://trac.bp-dev.org/plugins/browser/trunk/bpdev-theme/bpdev-theme-extra.php
look line 9:
function bpdev_theme_register_style( $slug, $name, $callback, $default = 'off', $admin_show = 'on', $condition = true, $priority = 1 ) {
it means that with this function you will be able to add styles in wordpress/buddypress integrating them in the bpdev admin interface to activate or deactivate them,
in your example you need a plugin like that called for example my-styles-bpdev.php
<?php
/*
Author: Nicola Greco
Author URI: http://nicolagreco.com
*/
require_once( 'bp-core.php' );
require_once( 'bpdev-core.php' );
function bpdev_search_css() {
global $group_obj;
bpdev_theme_register_style(
'my-styles', // your style slug name
'XBOX Styles', // your style name
'xbox_styles_function', // callback
'on', // status "on" on default
'off', // off will not display it in admin interface
$group_obj->id = 1; // the group ID
);
}
function xbox_styles_function() { // example of css content
?>
#header {
background: #FFF;
}
<?php
}
add_action( 'bpdev_theme_extra_setup_globals', 'bpdev_search_css' ); // it will add the style
?>
If you look in the table wp_bp_groups_groupmeta you will see that every group has a theme and stylesheet applied to it. This corresponds with the member theme used to display the group.
I can’t remember if I use the table to load the theme at the moment, but it should make it easy to have multiple themes that you can then pick for each group.
ops stupid error
<?php

require_once( ‘bpdev-core.php’ );

bpdev_theme_register_style(
‘my-styles’, // your style slug name
‘XBOX Styles’, // your style name
‘xbox_styles_function’, // callback
‘on’, // status “on” on default
‘off’, // off will not display it in admin interface
( $groups_obj->id == 1 ) ? ( true ) : ( false ); // the group ID

#header {

<?php

add_action( ‘bpdev_theme_extra_setup_globals’, ‘bpdev_search_css’ ); // it will add the style

Ah I love it when a plan comes together. Woop woop!
The reason for going the myspace route, it allows members to generate themes, and not requiring me to upload css files.
I will take a look at these other options, but this might be a good starting route to allow members to adjust their own group look and feel.
Cool idea,
this week i’ll commit bpdev extra groups,
so groups could have extra field and if you want do that you need add meta for theme like
Add new field for theme:
Theme : – 1 white theme
– 1 black theme
and after do that
bpdev_theme_register_style(
'my-styles', // your style slug name
'XBOX Styles', // your style name
"xbox_color{$color}", // callback
'on', // status "on" on default
'off', // off will not display it in admin interface
( bpdev_get_groupmeta($groups_obj->id, 'color' ) == $color ) ? ( true ) : ( false ); // the group ID
);
wait less than a week to do that
Is there any update on this? Do we have any functionality for users being able to have their own profile themes?
