Boss plus Social Learner Sensei Update

[Varun Dubey]

Hi @mln83

Sorry for inconvenience, I have tested all them before release and it should work fine.
You can keep your custom CSS into BuddyBoss -> Custom Codes
or you can also use a plugin to keep all custom css at single place
https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/

SL child theme will not be required, and it will simply developers work to keep all edits inside parent and website admin to keep their all customization inside their own child theme.

Let me know if you are okay with child theme, else Please send your site login details from our contact page, I will check/add fixes at your site.

Hi @jcleaveand
I have checked for your issues
1) Cover images and Social Links options were updated long time ago , and in our last few updates we have not changed anything related to these. If you remember , Please let me know what was your previous Boss version you were using before yesterday update.
2) Site name in page tab in browser displays test with no favicon : This fixed in our immediate update.
3) Learndash css error
It’s an existing error and it should be fixed in next Boss for Learndash plugin update.
https://www.buddyboss.com/support-forums/topic/404-error-issue/
You can fix it by adding following codes inside child theme.

function sl_child_dequeue_styles() {
   wp_deregister_style( 'sfwd_template_css' );	
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'sl_child_dequeue_styles', 9999 );

Thanks for the info @vapvarun. I was using Boss v2.1.3 and Social Learner 1.0.6 on WP 4.4.2

I reverted yesterday to get back to functional. I will try again today to update everything to the latest and let you know what I find.

Thanks for the support!

Hi @vapvarun,

I just realized I put the wrong info in my last update. I updated to the latest Boss 2.1.3. from 2.1.0. I apologize for the confusion.

After updating to 2.1.3 again this morning, I am still having the background image and social icons issue. I am running WP 4.4.2 and BuddyPress 2.5.0 with no other plugins.

All other issues have been resolved.

Thank you!

@vapvarun Uninstall and delete all wordpress
and did a clean install, but ..
the error persists and now I have another (see screenshot)

I sent my contacts section data access to help me check, do not know what else to do.

Thanks, I hope your help.

Hi @conferenciaslm

I have checked the codes again it should be fixed in our next update. It was not reflected on all the site. Current theme codes are added to make social Profile more dynamic and it will gives you flexibility to add your own social network, with your own icons.

You will need to replace inside
/boss/buddyboss-inc/users-options.php
After line 16

function buddyboss_get_user_social_array() {

	$social_profiles = boss_get_option( 'profile_social_media_links' );

	$socials = array();

	foreach ( $social_profiles as $label ) {

		if ( empty( $label['title'] ) ) {
			continue;
		}

		$key = sanitize_title( $label['title'] );
		$socials[ $key ] = $label['title'];
	}

	return (array) @apply_filters( "buddyboss_get_user_social_array", $socials );
}

with

function buddyboss_get_user_social_array() {

	$social_profiles = boss_get_option( 'profile_social_media_links' );

    $socials = array( "facebook"		 => __( "Facebook", "boss" ),
		"twitter"		 => __( "Twitter", "boss" ),
		"linkedin"		 => __( "Linkedin", "boss" ),
		"google-plus"	 => __( "Google+", "boss" ),
		"youtube"		 => __( "Youtube", "boss" ),
		"instagram"		 => __( "Instagram", "boss" ),
		"pinterest"		 => __( "Pinterest", "boss" ) );
	if (is_array($social_profiles) || is_object($social_profiles)) {
	foreach ( $social_profiles as $label ) {

		if ( empty( $label['title'] ) ) {
			continue;
		}

		$key = sanitize_title( $label['title'] );
		$socials[ $key ] = $label['title'];
	} 
	}

	return (array) @apply_filters( "buddyboss_get_user_social_array", $socials );
}

If it seems hard for your, Please send your login details. I will add them.

With the above plugins and themes, I have spent a significant amount of time this weekend configuring settings, widgets, fixing some styling issues, layout issues and pinpointing and fixing some lingering bugs.

I am pleased to report, that with your recent updates and my efforts in troubleshooting everything, it seems most of the styling and layout is working as expected. However, I am quite frustrated I had to spend so much time and energy in troubleshooting and fixing bugs on something I have just recently paid for, and I haven’t even tested every use case yet.

Below are some of the fixes I made:

• Increased the padding for both the logo background and the search-icon background, so they were the same height as the titlebar.

• Once again, I had to go into boss-sensei -> includes -> main-class.php and get rid of the “public function boss_edu_overide_sensei_courses_template()” in order for my BuddyPress related pages and content to show up.

• I swear, it’s almost like all the issues with using groups with courses has been neglected because that has been the area I have had to spend the most time on since my purchase.

If I would go into a course, that is associated with a group, then click on the “Course Discussion” button and click on the “Course” admin tab, I would see the course modules, but the “course-excerpt”, “listControl” for “Expand All | Collapse All” and the “fa-chevron-up” icon markup were missing. Added was a blank white bar with the header of “Lessons” below the course modules. So, there was no way to see the lessons in the course modules and the styling was not correct.

Apparently, all the views/pages, that the group admin tabs go to are using the same template, which is the “buddypress-group-single.php”, found at boss-sensei -> templates -> sensei-buddypress -> buddypress-group-single.php.

• I basically had to completely rebuild this template and set up some conditional statements for the groups course “experiences” view, so the course modules were functional again.

• As for the blank white bar with the header of “Lessons” at the bottom, I had to make some changes and additions to the “group-extension.php” file found at boss-sensei -> includes -> group-extension.php.

• I corrected the conditional statement on line 88, so it would exit from printing any modules if there isn’t any lessons.

• I added a conditional statement between line 161 and 163, so it would only print out the “Other Lessons” header bar if there were lessons not in the course modules.

• I ended up swapping out some of the markup structure with that from the “lessons.php” template found at boss-sensei -> templates -> sensei -> single-course -> lessons.php, so it was consistent with the lesson markup found on the single course pages.

I hope this is of some assistance to others.

@vapvarun You’re welcome and thank you! One of the things I have noticed while troubleshooting, is that there seems to be quite a few empty HTML tags being printed. So, that would be awesome if you guys and gals could maybe find some time to clean that up. If not, no worries! I will eventually get to it, its just not on the top of my own list of priorities right now.
