Search form and other questions

[kriscone]

I am playing around with your theme. I also bought the Kleo theme…where I really like your icon based buddypress menu structure. It seems that the Sweet Date theme is faster…is there anything inherent with the theme that makes this theme faster than Kleo or the Dynamix theme I have been using?

Questions.

1. We are a home related site and want to have a community around home owners and home pros….so was thinking of using the Sweet Date and changing the profile files and various search parameters. Do you have tips on how to customize for other use scenarios? Things like the heart need to be removed but maybe a tool icon could be useful….and the profile needs of a homeowner ideally would match up with a home pro.

2. I want to put the user’s home photo as a background image behind their profile…so kind of like a facebook cover photo (or the rtmedia new theme they have http://demo.rtcamp.com/rtmedia/members/kriscone/ is an example). The About, images, etc can display over it. Ideas on how to add that?

3. how can I change the Woocommerce product pages? I would rather have it be either left sidebar or full screen.

4. The images on a user’s profile as well as in the members are not displaying right. The larger photo of the user is pixelated. The circular photos are off when displayed in the sidebar. They look ok on the members page itself, but if I put the my friends in a sidebar the image does not fit in the circle…it is off. Seems like looking to smaller images than what each content area is needing…

5. The Kleo theme has the latest update showing on the member page…how to add to this theme?

6. Finally…how to add the icons to the menu vs the links, like Kleo. I love how they are responsive and can adjust….

thanks

i should add on the woocommerce i do have no sidebar at the bottom of the product page and it is still showing the sidebar.

A couple of other things
1. Is it possible to add a shopping cart icon next to the Profile | Logout button at the top? That would be cool to indicate items in the cart

2. is there a page with general Theme customizations, short codes, etc? I can’t seem to find where the short codes are. I have an issue with the visual editor in that is it not inserting the short codes on some pages….not sure why…if I have the short code I can add it and it works, but using the menu within the section of the visual editor is not inserting the short code….

Hi,
1. You should add your custom fields from Users – Profile field and have a Type field with your desired values which you can add to the search form in Sweetdate – Buddypress
To change the hearts: https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/removereplace-the-love-hearts-in-site

2. We plan to do that but can’t say when that will be included in the update

3. Cart and Checkout can be changed from page edit to any template you want. For the other woo pages please replace theme files with the one in this archive and you will have a new setting to select woocommerce layout under Sweetdate – Woocommerce https://archived.seventhqueen.com/files/sweetdate-woo-templates.zip

4. Provide a link to understand better. It could be related to buddypress thumb size. see: http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/guides/customizing-buddypress-avatars/

5. You need to edit sweetdate/members/members-loop.php template file and put this inside the div with the class “search-body”

COPY CODE

<?php if ( bp_get_member_latest_update() ) : ?>
            <span class="update"> <?php bp_member_latest_update(); ?></span>
          <?php endif; ?>

6. That can’t be easily achieved.. it requires some significant changes

1. You need to develop that funtionality. To place to add it is inside sweetdate/header.php somewhere around “Login buttons” section
2. That visual shortcodes generator should give you all shortcodes options available so there isn’t a place to explain in detail each one, just the shortcodes page from the demo: http://seventhqueen.com/demo/sweetdatewp/shortcodes/
We haven’t encountered this problem not to generate the shortcodes.. we will do some tests to see if we manage to reproduce that

thanks.
Our site is in lockdown mode…I can email some screen shots if you want on the images. I deleted one I uploaded and it reverted to an older one that looks ok in my profile view but is off on the sidebar view…where to send them to?

Please add my vote on adding an icon based Buddypress menu like Kleo but for Sweetdate…in a future update. It just looks cooler and actually looks better on smaller screens in responsive mode. I own that theme too but then found Sweetdate and like it overall better…..Kleo had a lot of bugs from what I could see…

[kriscone]

if you go here you can see what I mean on the avatars…see the user’s friends on the right…where the image does not fill the circle all the way. If I delete my own avatar, it reverts to an older one that is fine. If I upload a new one, it is fuzzy…..so something in not resized right. I do looked in the Bp avatar file and this is what is there…

function bp_core_set_avatar_constants() {

if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH’, 50 );

if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT’, 50 );

if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’, 150 );

if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’, 150 );

if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH’, 450 );

if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_FILESIZE’ ) ) {

$bp = buddypress();

if ( !isset( $bp->site_options[‘fileupload_maxk’] ) ) {
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_FILESIZE’, 5120000 ); // 5mb
} else {
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_FILESIZE’, $bp->site_options[‘fileupload_maxk’] * 1024 );
}
}

if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg’ );

if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT_THUMB’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT_THUMB’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘bp-core/images/mystery-man-50.jpg’ );

if ( ! defined( ‘BP_SHOW_AVATARS’ ) ) {
define( ‘BP_SHOW_AVATARS’, bp_get_option( ‘show_avatars’ ) );
}
}

Hi, Kleo had some bugs at first but now we have fixed all reported ones and it is a strong theme too.

That comes from those added settings. Try modifying BP_AVATAR_THUMB width and height to something larger like 100 pixels instead of 50

thanks. I got the woocommerce update to work and it now goes to the full screen layout which is what I wanted, as some of the form fields were getting cut off with the right sidebar layout.

Do you have a fix for the buddypress pages too where you can select different layouts for the pages, kind of like you have with Kleo? There are some pages I would like a sidebar, and some where full screen…but it seems that it is all just pulling from the default buddypress selection in the theme settings. With Kleo each page can be adjusted, right?

[Abe]

Hi kriscone, We will add those options for the different buddypress pages in a next update.
Cheers
