Major theme pain
-
I posted elsewhere about the default theme, and therefore my child theme, throwing up a nastily unformatted page when a View permalink is clicked in the Activity stream. @thekmen made these suggestions;
it’s pretty easy to theme, in your child theme, just add:
div id=”content”
div class=”padder”
for default theming after the get_header call in members/single/activity/permalink.php of your child theme.
Don’t forget to close off the extra DIVS though.
Sorry, forgot, you will need to add
locate_template( array( ‘sidebar.php’ ), true )
just above get_footer() in that file.… which didn’t work, unfortunately. I’m struggling with BP theming, as it’s certainly not straightforward compared to a standard WP one. While I said that the View link seemed absolutely useless, and many of our target audience won’t know what the heck it is, I’d like to pull the theme back on track. It’s the base BP Default theme which is at fault, and I don’t know how to make this particular view/page display in the same way as every other.
Help..?!

@thekmen, It’s pasted at http://pastebin.com/KZhQ1mU3. That includes Rich’s additions (except I forgot the last line, but it makes no difference when in). It’s basically a clone of the Default BP theme. (I’ve tried switching to the Default, and it comes up with the same mess in View permalink). Every other page, including WP pages I construct, or Post pages, all appear perfectly well and within the normal theme page structure, ie., correct width, header, sidebar, content, etc.
@nuprn1; Update the css width? Sorry, but my head’s a shed at the moment, with trying to sort out a stack of other inconsistencies.
Edit: I added the following line and the sidebar appears, but in the wrong place. And there’s no header bar and links. My head’s gone!
[?php locate_template(array(‘sidebar.php’), true); ?]
@thekmen; Yes, it’s at http://lincme.co.uk/conversation/. The View permalink page works now (thanks for the css tip Rich) but the display is still a bit odd, and there’s no header bar links. I’ll leave it up until tomorrow morning, then back on ‘maintenance’ so it doesn’t scare anyone.
