and where did you get the pic from?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

no problem !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

It was quicker to code it than describe it.

Basically I’ve created a new widget called (rew) Login Widget

Copy all the below into your functions file

You’ll see that all it required was taking out the label, and putting ‘placeholder’ into the input line

I even changed lost password into forgot your password !

The go into widgets and you’ll see the new widget (rew) Login Widget

enjoy !

class Rew_Login_Widget extends WP_Widget {

will be at least tomorrow evening before I look at again, but the code does seem to work on my test stite with twenty ten, although I don’t know why it didn’t immediately !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

But when I do that, the the breadcrumbs no longer work.
//69.195.124.253/~ctwocndo/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/brokenBreadcrumb.jpg
(I am sure the “Forums” in this image are truly the “connect/forum”)

ok if you click that breadcrumb – I mean the forums bit, where does it go?

If to forums, then we just need to add a breadcrumb before it to go to the connect page

If not where does it go?

Come back with that answer

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

ok, no easy filters, are you ok at coding, ie getting some code and amending it. If so i’ll come back with more info

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

Come back if you rae still having problems tomorrow, but the code you posted works with bbpress !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

ok, not sure why, but my code is now working without me changing, but I did shutdown all browsers and reload from scratch and that seemed to fix.

I can now change role capabilities at will, but initially like you the changes did not take effect.

by the by if you have several sessions in one browser they will take capabiliites of another session, so have you admin in say IE and your user you are testing in say Chrome !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

it may be just me, it’s getting late but yes I can change the user to member, but it’s not altering the capabilites, I switched everything to false and I can still edit, but as I say it’s late and I’m probably not doing something right – I’ll take another look tomorrow.

Also you’re using buddypress as well, does this give you the secondary roles you mention?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

yes the damn spam filter on this site gets overly keen – not my site I’m just a helper here so can’t change that.

two links or two images seems to be the limit – try that !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

Hmmm.. I’ve just spent some time playing with this code, and it’s not really working.

It is quoted in lots of sites inc http://gawainlynch.com/customising-dynamic-roles-in-bbpress-2-2/

But as far as I can see you get the member role, but the site default role capabilities – can’t work out why at the moment. What is you site default, and would that make sense?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

what other plugins do you have?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

I don’t know what your question is, please state it more clearly

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

They have move the link

try

Child Themes

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

Sorry, using css don’t know how to do that. As before it would I think involve a rewrite of the function bbp_reply_author_link

And lastly, how to modify the css so that I can display the role as its displayed here on this website, ie., role covered in a box.

just add

background-color : green ;

to your

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-author .bbp-author-role-admin,
 #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author .bbp-author-role-admin,
 #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author .bbp-author-role-admin { etc

code above

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

No bbpress doesn’t need these, so if you have a backup of them, then yes they can be deleted.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

ok, there’s a conflict there between something

what theme and other plugins are you running?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

You’d be filtering the function

bbp_get_breadcrumb

in

bbpress\includes\common\template.php

to put an extra link in

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

I have to confess that I’m not quite sure what you are trying to achieve?

Is it just to have another page in the breadcrumb flow

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

Emails not working can be caused by many factors. Try working through the following :
Spam filters
You should be aware that many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address in wordpress settings>general is fred@gmail.com then it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit. You need to set up email to come from your site egfred@mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.
Host Provider
Talk to your host provider about why emails are being stripped

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

no it can be done by this

so

create a post (you’ll delete this after, this is just temporary) and put what you want in the content, including nay images, and get it looking like you want it. you can’t have any single quotes (‘) but can have double quotes (“).

Then switch to ‘text’ view – top right of the content box. This will take you into html mode, and the ‘code’ we need will be there.

Copy all this code into the $content = bit in the code above. It must have a ‘ at either end, and a ; at the end so you will end up with

$content = ‘ whatever the text you copied is in here ‘ ;

then save and upload, and delete the post when you are happy it works.

Come back if any of that doesn’t work, and if you do and are happy to make it public let me know what you have pasted in there so I can make sure it’s right

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

That link works, so not sure why you are not able to access it

Another route to this

Click Documentation above
scroll down until you find
‘Functions files and child themes – explained! ‘ and click

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

@crystalleeanne that might be difficult, as the textarea is only acted on upon submitting the form.

Can you explain what you are trying to achieve

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]

That’s interesting, no it should show all the time.

Can you check that activating / disabling makes it appear/disappear?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 9 months ago]
