Page Header & BuddyPress

Hi Stephane,

BuddyPress sets these pages up like a WordPress blog, which ignores any metabox options set on the page itself (unfortunately).

As of right now, you would have to use GP Hooks to add a page header to these pages (I can provide code if you like).

In the future, I plan on having a settings page that allows you to set a header easily on the Blog, and on BuddyPress pages (plus more) - just trying to figure out the best way to approach it.

Let me know if you'd like the code for GP Hooks :)

Thanks!

Thanks. Yes, I would like to have the process. Thanks.

Ok, here we go :)

First off, you'll need to use GP Hooks - we'll be working inside the "After Header" hook.

Basically, we need to target which BuddyPress page we're on using PHP.

Luckily, BP provides us with some conditionals to work with: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/bp-is-active/

So to target the activity page, we would do this inside the hook:

https://gist.github.com/generatepress/ba49bc497a9571038a42

Then we would duplicate the above for the other components, the only important part is to change the name of the component on this line:

<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) { ?>

So the above would be for the activity page.

This would be for the groups page:

<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'groups' ) ) { ?>

And so on.

It's complicated, but achievable.

Like I said - I hope to add options to use the Page Header addon on all of these pages.

Let me know if you have any issues :)

Whooo! Thanks you very much! I try it and I give you a return.

Hey Tom,

I bought GP a couple days ago.
I'm trying to style the BP related pages a bit, especially the Profile Page. Eg hiding the title..
There was no further development in this direction or?

Best regards,
Dorian

Hi Dorian,

It would be best if you could create a new topic with more details on what you're trying to achieve. Then I'll try my best to help you :)
