[Resolved] BP Compatibility plugin with an Artisteer theme…
-
Hi,
I’m looking for some help with making BP compatible with a theme I created using Artisteer 3.14.
I’ve tried following the instructions to modify the code, but… maybe it’s because I’ve got a cold at the moment and my brain isn’t operating at full capacity… I just can’t figure it out.
While no expert, I’m usually pretty good at just looking at code and figuring out what I need to adjust to get the results I want, but… not this time.
I see from other posts that the way it seems to work is, I post pastebin links to my code here, and the legendary creature known as @mercime (must be a creature of magic it seems, that needs no sleep and can fix everyone’s code problems) waves a wand and highlights the failings of us mere mortal code fiddlers.
Anyway, the instructions say I should look for my page.php or index.php to find the code that should be replicated in the bp pages. My theme has both a page.php and an index.php, so I’ve posted both below. Don’t suppose I need to post the bp code, but in case it changes when the bp compatibility plugin is used, there’s an example of the activity/index.php code, too.
My theme index.php page: http://pastebin.com/r7mBhnG7
My theme page.php page: http://pastebin.com/b7kVsMWy
Comparison BP activity/index.php : http://pastebin.com/b7u8ThP1
Any help would be hugely appreciated, even if it’s just a pointer in the right direction… where I need to change code, and what elements of my theme code I need to put into the BP code.
Sincerest thanks,
Ronnie.

@ronnie_fantastic flattery will get you nowhere
and this “legendary creature” cannot guarantee compatibility with Artisteer-generated themes. Having said that, we could give it a try. Do post the codes for header.php, sidebar.php and footer.php files as well.Hi @mercime
Twas not flattery! I was simply observing your legendary status on these here forums.
I also did not expect any guarantee of compatibility with Artisteer themes, so it’s perfectly cool if this is too much of a pain to figure out, or if it simply can’t be done.
If the two can’t work together, then I will try and adapt a theme that is compatible to look like the theme I created with Artisteer.
As you requested though, here are the codes you requested. Header and footer seems straightforward…
Header.php: http://pastebin.com/5QjaczaG
Footer.php: http://pastebin.com/jcHeRhmsSidebar… looks like it could be a real pain… there’s 5 code pages for the sidebar????
sidebar-top.php: http://pastebin.com/JbghaYq6
sidebar-bottom.php: http://pastebin.com/3bB7kTjf
sidebar-footer.php: http://pastebin.com/6QtsLHmg
sidebar-default.php: http://pastebin.com/899BRFgc
sidebar-secondary.php: http://pastebin.com/0NMSe6mpAs I’ve observed… you do an awful lot to help folks out with code fixes round here. If this one is too much of a headache because it’s been done with Artisteer… just say so and I’ll figure out another way to do it.
Many Thanks.
Ronnie.
Hi @mercime
Aside from the final tweak mentioned above… given the effort to make it all work so far… should I avoid adding further plugins such as listed in the plugins directory on here, or… should they all integrate without any problems now we’ve fixed the theme compatibility issues?
I’m thinking about things such as a login box, removing the WordPress bar from the top of the pages for anyone other than site administrators, adding one of the event management plugins, etc.
Basically… I don’t want to have to keep asking you for help ever time I try to add something new.
Many Thanks,
Ronnie.
Hi @mercime
Just to let you know… I figured out the problem with the background on the menu tabs… all by myself, without any hand holding!
I do hope the instruction you gave me above, helps others that have used Artisteer to create themes and then try to incorporate BuddyPress.
You’ve been a star and a huge help.
I’ll press on with my site and *hopefully* not have to come back and pester you for any more help.
Many Thanks,
Ronnie.
