BP Nicey theme for BuddyPress Updated with Vertical Nav

I am glad to put an updated version of Bp Nicey today with the vertical navigation back.
Yes, It is for BuddyPress 1.2.x and this version brings back the vertical navigation. The good thing is, It not only brings back the vertical navigation for profile/group but for all the BuddyPress components. I have used some hack and I am sure if some theme developers look at that, there are going to be a flurry of themes with vertical navigation. There is one sweet hack to get it working on all the pages. I will leave it for you all to figure out the hack πŸ™‚

Some Screenshots will be good, won't it?

Screenshots:-

Header with login form

User Profile when viewing as Non logged In user:-

Self profile view for logged in user

Viewing Other Users profile:-

Group Page:-

and finally the members Directory:-

Features In current version:-

  • 2 column layout
  • Vertical nav for User profile
  • vertical nav for group
  • vertical nav for any BP component(Be it Achievements/links/events or anything)

Future Update will be mainly concentrated on refractoring the css and making it simple. Currently, the css may contain the remnants of BuddyPress 1.x era.

Hope this theme will of of help to a few of you who are looking for a theme with vertical navigation.

And before wrapping the post, I will like to extend my thanks to Ruchi from my team for working hard on the css and putting the fixes here and there. She will be contributing with other themes too and hopefully we will have a lot of new things coming in future. Please keep visiting the site, the week is not over yet, and I have to put a couple of new themes as I promised earlier this week.

Please do let me know your views/suggestions in the comments.

In case you are looking for another alternative with more powerful features, you should really check the BP mag Classic Child Theme.

  • Hello Brajesh, you are doing great stuff..

  • Hello Brajesh! I saw the sweet hack, very cool, thank you πŸ™‚

    • Thanks for the comment Mercime πŸ™‚ That was some css hack with one hack on how the css classes are generated πŸ™‚

  • Tested the theme further and following are some enhancements to add to style.css:

    /* Since this theme is fixed width, widen up the item body. Own personal choice to change borders */
    #item-body {
    border: 0px;
    border-top: 1px solid #cccccc;
    float: right;
    padding-right: 20px;
    padding-bottom: 20px;
    width: 620px;
    }

    /* Background of optionsbar and userbar to be a continuous line to end of content */
    body.column-component div#content {
    background: #ffffff url(images/userbar-optionsbar-276wide.jpg) left top repeat-y;
    }

    • Hi Mercime,
      Thanks for the css.
      I will include it in the next release πŸ™‚

  • Hey great theme but I have one problem. When I try to make new pages they are not showing up in the nav bar. It has been working fine on other templates but not with this one. I have tried deactivating all plugins but still no luck. Any idea what may be wrong?

    Great theme though.

    • Hi Craig,
      Since the main menu of the tehem does not allows many link(they will break it), I had dropped it in the core. Incase you want it back, plese put this in bp-custom.php or functions.php

      Hope that helps.

  • Hi i really like the themes and got 1 question how am i gonna change the header i mean replace it and put some jpg. in dashboard like bp default theme

    • Hi Karding,
      we have disabled the header upload for bp-nicey at the moment. So, currently you won't be able to do that from dashboard. Instead, please change it using css. I will certainly put back the functionality in next release.

  • I love BP Nicey! But is it possible to use this theme for a mobile phone/iphone etc..

    Robin

    • Hi Robin,
      I think you can not use bp-nicey for mobile as it is. As you may know, for mobile, we need specific change in themes, so most of the time It is left on the plugins to do that. Please check BuddyPress Mobile plugin by modemlooper, you can use that to serve to mobile clients.

  • Hi Brajesh, i really love BP Nicey
    i wanna ask you one thing, why my BP Nicey cant be like yours, like in screenshot,

    • Sorry, my problem was solved πŸ™‚

  • Hi There, great work Brajesh. I love BP Nicey and BP Chat. However I was wondering if I can create a custom login page and registration page. Where is it currently referencing to and where should I edit as I am new to this. Thank you.
