Editing css

You can edit the css in your theme/wire/style.css and It will be automatically loaded.

You can stop the auto loading of the css:-

To stop the plugin from autoloading css, you can add the following lines of code to your bp-custom.php

[sourcecode language="php"]

add_filter("bp_wire_load_css","stop_autoloading_wire_css");

function stop_autoloading_wire_css(){

return false;

}

[/sourcecode]

Change The "Wire" name

[sourcecode language="php"]

define("BP_WIRE_LABEL","Wall");//or what ever you want to change the label

[/sourcecode]

Change Wire link Position in the Profile

[sourcecode language="php"]

define("BP_WIRE_POSITION",20);//change it to some integer value

[/sourcecode]

Change Wire link position In group Wire

[sourcecode language="php"]

define("BP_GROUP_WIRE_POSITION",20);

[/sourcecode]

Making wire as default landing page

[sourcecode language="php"]

define("BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT","wire");

[/sourcecode]

Notification

A user can enable/disable email notification of new wire post from User->profile->settings->notification

Translating:-

I have put a po file in the bp-wire/languages directory.  To translate the bp-wire plugin to your language, please use poedit to generate the mo file. Rename the mo file as "bp-wire_YOUR_LOCAL.mo", and put it in the languages directory.

Using wire with custom theme:-

To use wire with custom theme, you will need to modify a few files. The file of interest for you will be  "latest.php" for user wire and "group-wire.php"  for group wire.

Looking forward to your suggestions and feedback.

PS: My next update will be the site wide activity widget which should be available tomorrow.
