Changing Name and Order of Buddypress menus

[kriscone]

Hi
Just bought the theme and playing around with it. How can you change the names of the icons, change the order (like show some and put others under the + More icon) and even change the icon associated with a menu item.

I tried custom profile plugin but that really did not work…

other suggestions without a plugin?

Thanks

Without digging into the code you can put some reorder code in your childs functions.php file. There’s a ton of posts about it if you google it.

You’ll have to override the css using your childs style.css file to change the icons. I’m pretty sure its using fontello icons, so just figure out which the icon code you want to change it to, or specify your own.

This would change the activity icon to an upload icon

COPY CODE

#buddypress div#item-nav ul #activity-personal-li a:before, #buddypress div#item-nav ul #home-groups-li a:before {
  content: "\E84D";
}

This will change it to your gravtar 🙂

COPY CODE

#buddypress div#item-nav ul #activity-personal-li a:before, #buddypress div#item-nav ul #home-groups-li a:before {
  content: url(http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/80a2e1d15672dff15d528369d607005d?s=60&d=retro&r=G);
}

As far as putting icons under the + more icon, that is determined by screen size. There’s no “put this icon under there’ code. Its automagically starts stacking the last icon under there when the screen width is reduced. Try changing your browser width to see what I’m talking about. So, basically, the ones you want to move under there should be put at the end of the nav menu when you figure out the reordering.

I dont work here, I’m just bored. Good luck.
