@vkick Thank you for the report. I can confirm that this happens consistently when using CBOX Theme 1.0.9.

@r-a-y @bowe your thoughts on this would be appreciated… Somehow, in the latest version, the overlay div is written into the markup *after* the dialog div, whereas in 1.0.8, it is written into the markup *before* the dialog, thus producing…[Read more]

Hi onzii @vivianny –

Good question (and I’m not sure) –

Hi @r-a-y or @bowe – can you help out with this one?  Thanks!

any ideas? @bowe @haystack @bowe

@bowe I can’t seem to find available translations / localization files for CIAB and this thread seems to suggest there aren’t any. Am I looking in the wrong place? I’m specifically looking for German.

If you folks are not already using Zanata (free, open source, web-based) to gather translations, perhaps that would be where to place the project…[Read more]

Hi @localfrs –

Probably a question the dev team might be better at answering.

@bowe / @haystack – can you provide some background about why these tags are stripped out, and maybe a possible workaround?  Thanks.

Hi Marci –

For number 1 – this is a known issue.  You might want to look at this post – https://commonsinabox.org/groups/help-support/forum/topic/footer-top-bottom-menus-background-color-change-not-working/

I think the theme updates the dynamic css file, so it is really not possible to override (I’ve tried too).

I think if you locate your menu…[Read more]

Thanks @bowe . Please let me know when you made those comments.

Are you using a child theme, @sepidpooy? If not, @bowe, can you say whether these changes will be wiped out the next time the theme is updated?

@bowe Thanks for your interest. It would be a pleasure to do something in return of your favor. However, I am sure you are not interested on the way I implemented it now. I have moved all tooltips from activity page to the main group page. Therefore, in my case there is no tour in the activity case. I need to fix that first and then send it for…[Read more]

@sepidpooy – Thanks for sharing what you learned.  I am sure it will be useful to others who want to use JoyRide to guide new users.  @bowe @cbox-admin – do you think it would be helpful to add this modification to the CBOX default theme?

Hi @sepidpooy –

Joyride has some pretty good documentation here –

http://zurb.com/playground/jquery-joyride-feature-tour-plugin

Not sure if you are aware.  It seems to require five steps, and they are described in pretty good detail.  Can you look at the way the theme developers are implementing it in CBOX and mimic for the group home p…[Read more]

I’ll let @Bowe chime in with details about any robust hook documentation, but for a simple list of hooks, you could do the following:


$ grep -nR apply_filters wp-content/themes/cbox-theme
$ grep -nR do_action wp-content/themes/cbox-theme


Hi John – I looked around too and didn’t see any list.  Maybe @Bowe can let us know if one exists.  There is some information about hooks in the CBOX documentation (in “CBOX Theme Developer Guide”):

https://commonsinabox.org/documentation/themes/developer-guide/overwriting-theme-templates-and-using-hooks

and here in PressCrew’s s…[Read more]

Hi Eli – if you just want to change the look, or not display the BP Sidebar or some of its components, you might be able to just use CSS.  If you really want to change the way the theme displays the information, you’ll probably want to create a child theme and change the way the profile information is generated.

@bowe or @r-a-y would know better…[Read more]

Hi Muhammad – I don’t believe we have any plans to add mega menu to the CBOX theme.  I took a look at free mega menu plugins – it seems they are all widgets that could be placed in sidebars – I tried a couple on a test site and they work – but they don’t come close to the functionality that the UberMenu premium plugin provides.  From the d…[Read more]

Thanks @bowe. I will try.

I know upscaling images is bad practice (worked in advertisment). But slider that changes shape is not so good either. A dilema for non designer people maintaining systems. Which ‘evil’ to chose 😀

I’m having issues on mobile with the slider and menu though. I’ll open a new topic.

Hi Helene – I think this is a question for @bowe who did all the work on the slider enhancements.  I have opened up an issue on github, and you can track it at:

https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cbox-theme/issues/174

I think he is on vacation – but will probably be back soon.

Hi Sam – I know there are a lot of ways to do this – but when I create sliders, I use some kind on photo editing software and resize the images before uploading to WordPress.  And Helene is correct – 635 wide and 345 height seem to work well.  Correct me if I am wrong @Bowe – but I think the images do get scaled according to the width you set on t…[Read more]

Hi Helene,

Two thoughts/questions/observations:

1. It’s possible that the issue you’re having has to do with the Read Later plugin. Have you tried disabling that to see whether the slider issues persist?

2. Have you looked at the documentation for the slider? It looks to me like there may be some issues with the image sizes you’re using.

For…[Read more]

@Bowe sorted adding this to my main menu and it works brilliantly. I have the rest of my menu in bold and I would like the My Profile/My Home tab to be the same. Where/how would I alter the font weight from normal to bold.

/**
* Add a Custom “My Profile” link to the Main Menu
*
*/
function cbox_custom_profile_menu_item ( $items, $args ) {…[Read more]
