Hi @stevedtj,

I’m part of the CBOX development team and recently started a new venture focused on development and maintenance for all BuddyPress/CBOX communities. I’ve sent you an email with my contact details so we could discuss your needs further 🙂

Have a good Sunday,
Bowe from WeFoster

Interesting question, and something I have to do for a project in the near future as well. So far I only aware of the “Recent Networkwide Posts” widget that shows recent blogs from across the network.

If you want to have something more robust or flexible I don’t have a clear answer yet. I’ve done a little bit of research but have not found the…[Read more]

I’ll take a look at the templates again and see if I can track down why this happens to some of you.

Hi guys,

This should all be fixed in the most recent release. Including a nice icon for the notifications menu item. Are you positive that you have the most recent version of the CBOX theme? Could you make sure that you have the following files in your CBOX theme:

cbox/members/single/notifications.php
cbox/members/single/notifications/

And…[Read more]

@sepidpooy I’ll commit the code for the Members Tour to my CBOX Fork on GitHub (. You can then see how I’ve done it exactly https://github.com/BoweFrankema/cbox-theme. I’ll then advise you to create a CBOX Child Theme like @mkgold advised. Follow the tutorial here: https://commonsinabox.org/archives/3324

If you could then post the changes you…[Read more]

@sepidpooy & @scottvoth this is cool! I think it would be nice to add a guided tour to the Groups page. I recently also made a tour for the Members page (for a client) so that can be added as well. @sepidpooy could you maybe send me your modifications through a zip file (email them at bowe@presscrew.com)?

Thanks!

Hi @helenef,

Sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation 🙂 In this case I’m afraid I don’t have the answer you’re looking for. Upscaling and/or stretching an image that is less then the height/width you’ve set is not currently possible. I understand that you might have used this in the old version of the slider, but upscaling images is…[Read more]

Hi Dale,

Sorry to hear you’re having issues with the slider to behave. You’re not the only one who’s ran into issues with the slider, and we’ve been hard at work on completely re-doing it. This is pretty much done and has been tested by some of our community members. You can find the latest build here:…[Read more]

@geoffreysfmac-com: If you made any changes to the slider template file yes!

@visionsynergy: I’ll get in touch with Boone and Ray and see if we can get it into this release. It’s been tested so I think it’s ready 🙂

Hi Jason,

Could you make a screenshot and show me which content you mean exactly? The WIKI page should be completely customisable.

yep that’s the way to do it! Add your snippet to style.css of your child theme and that’s it 🙂

@nguyendam I understand that you want to make changes to your site but the support questions you are asking all are about customising your community and/or using 3rd party plugins. We (the dev team) are often more focused on squashing bugs or adding new features to CBOX, we simply can’t help you with all of these customisation requests. When our…[Read more]

I think in this case it would be easier to create a new sidebar file. So do something like:

create *posttype-archive.php* in your Child Theme
create new-sidebar.php in your Child Theme
Replace infinity_get_sidebar(); in the *posttype-archive.php* with infinity_get_template_part( 'new-sidebar' );
Register the new sidebar widget in…[Read more]

Hey Lucas (@visionsynergy),

Yes there is! We’re currently testing a new version of the CBOX Theme which incorporates all the new slider features and fixes. You’re welcome to help us test it so we can hopefully release it asap. You can find the theme here: https://github.com/BoweFrankema/cbox-theme/tree/slider. Here’s a direct download link

The solution Alan provided is perfect if you’re not using a CBOX Child Theme and want to make some small adjustments. If you want to dive into advanced CSS customisation check out our CBOX Developers Guide:

https://commonsinabox.org/documentation/themes/developer-guide

Good luck 🙂

editing an icon is not possible I’m afraid. There are ways to completely change the entire icon font and replace ALL the icons, but this is not an easy task. I hope to write a tutorial about this someday.

Hey Alan,

Could you maybe give me access to your site so I can take a look? you can make a temporary admin account and email me the login details (myfirstname [at] presscrew.com) Could you attach a zipped version of your Child Theme so I can see if there’s anything that could break your homepage?

Thank you 🙂
