hidden class and Buddypress Groups

    Hi,
    This is more of a report than a fault, but I think it needs addressing by one or both of Blocksy and Buddypress. Basically there is a class name ‘hidden’ added automatically to the div wrapper of the Join Group/Leave Group and all other group buttons with Hidden Groups in Buddypress, which is based on the status of the group in the database (one of public, private or hidden); BUT there is also a css display: none; rule in the Blocksy utilities.scss file (path /static/sass/frontend/2-basics/) that applies to .hidden (lines 19 to 22) which hides the button on larger screen sizes (anything over 782 px). I have made adjustments to my theme css so the buttons are visible but I think there is a minor change that could be made in either Blocksy or Buddypress to the class name so it wouldn’t be necessary; also it is only by chance I discovered it, so others are possibly blissfully unaware but perhaps wondering either where the buttons are or why no one is joining groups. It was a lot easier to find the root of the issue in Blocksy than find where the status names are in Buddypress, so unless there is a load of elements that need hiding in Blocksy it looks like it is easier for the theme than the plugin to fix it. But a lesson to everyone not to use common words for class names!

  • Hello @awol

    Could you please let us know where this error reproduces, exactly? I’m guessing I’ll have to install buddy press, but I’m not sure where I should be looking for the error.

    Thanks!

    Hi @cteduard,
    It is a pretty obscure fault! Yes you would need to install Buddypress and make sure that the User Groups component is active; then create a Hidden Group, and invite another user to join it. Once that user has joined, if that user visits the group there should be a Leave Group button, but as referenced above, it is not visible. I said above that it was only on larger screen sizes, but realised after I posted that I had some other custom css making it visible on smaller screens. I also incorrectly said that it would hide the Join Group button, but as it is not possible to apply to join a hidden group, only be invited, that can be ignored, but there are other buttons that could be hidden. The button html code is buried about 6 levels deep after <div id=”buddypress”> in the browser inspector, within item-buttons div.

    Hello @awol

    Great. I’ll try to see if I can replicate this – though, it would be perfect if you could provide a video recording of what’s happening, so I will know where to go exactly and reproduce the issue. ??

    Thanks!

    Hello @awol

    I’m really sorry, but I wasn’t able to replicate this using the instructions you’ve provided. Maybe I’m missing something…?

    Would it be possible to provide exact instructions, or better yet the aforementioned video?

    Thanks!

    Hi @awol

    Kind reminder about this one. ??
