Can you provide a little more clarification for your use case? As I understand, you want the following to occur:

member of a group clicks on the group’s link
she/he is redirected to the group blog (if not an admin of the group)
admins of the group are directed normally to the group site

Is that correct?  Would non-admin…[Read more]

This a step in the right direction. So with that code we can have our users automatically added to a General group, that’s great.

But as you stated Iurie — the real question now is then how would we show all site activities in one group? A lot of the most valuable info that is coming off the activity stream is…[Read more]

Glad the slider’s working for you now.

As you say in another thread, it would be useful to have some kind of “resolved” flag for topics – like this one – that offer solutions to certain CBOX issues. Alternatively, perhaps there could be a page in the Documentation section that points…[Read more]

My advice would be to stick to Feature Images that are wide enough to cover all likely page widths and to stick to a consistent a…[Read more]

If I were you, I’d rip out the existing menu code and insert your own, or copy code from (say) the Twenty Thirteen theme, which is already responsive. You’ll probably have to deregister the Javascript that converts the menu from list-based into select-based dropdown or else it’ll try and…[Read more]

It’s also a bit confusing because the script now seems to be called bxSlider and I’m not sure exactly how it differs from flexSlider. However, the following code works for me:

The CUNY Academic Commons preceded CBOX by several years and is full of customizations.  It does not use the CBOX theme.  In terms of disabling the responsive theme’s menu – I am assuming you might want a toggle on/off?  Maybe @haystack or @r-a-y might be able to direct you where in the code to begin and give you an idea of ho…[Read more]

I’m not sure about the coding – maybe someone else on this forum can help you out with it – but instead of going through all the trouble of doing this, you might consider installing the “Meta-Slider” plugin which is very easy to use, generates its own shortcode, and lets you create 4 different types of sliders that are…[Read more]

I am not sure but it might be device related.  Anyway, I have opened up a ticket on github for the theme developers to look at and see what they think.  You can track their progress here:

https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cbox-theme/issues/221

Thanks for reporting this!

Are they working when you view on non-mobile devices?  I just took a look at my test site on my Android phone and the icons are showing fine.  I know that we’ve had some issues in the past.  Can you provide the device you are using and any more info that the dev team might find useful – if possible, a screenshot of what you ar…[Read more]

/*
Template Name:My Custom Page

That happens to us, too, if we change themes then change back to cbox-mla! Which is quite worrying. I just opened a thread about it here:

Try going to your activity stream (when logged out) and using the dropdown – you’ll find both types shown when selecting “Posts”. Now in your case, that’s what you want.

@iurie one solution would be to clone the BP widget in a separate plugin, then change the argument to read ‘action’ => ‘new_blog_post,new_groupblog_post’.

The way the plugin works is that it replaces the entire activity stream of a viewed group with the propagated activity stream. This means that filtering the stream…[Read more]

However, you will find entries in the dropdown on the activity stream that allows you to filter the stream by activity type.
