Template Updates 2.7
In BuddyPress 2.7 we introduce some new features that specifically require template adjustment.
These changes are of importance for theme developers who may have overloaded the templates to the themes directory and these will need to be updated from the details here. If you are simply inheriting templates then there is no need to worry. Do note however some updates are not critical but are enhancements theme developers might like to carry through to their templates.
Changes for this release are:
Directory search form include part
Groups admin manage screens
Search form for groups manage members screens
Improve group manage members screen.
Group Type front-end integration
Templates heading element changes
Directory Search Form (Trac #6844)
We introduced a new folder for themes to hold common shared parts; in this we have added a revised copy of the directories search form that is included into all main directory component screens.
This is not a breaking change; if you choose not to update templates the search elements will function normally.
Files needing updating are:
buddypress/activity/index.php
buddypress/members/index.php
buddypress/groups/index.php
buddypress/blogs/index.php
If you need to make changes to the shared search form, create a new folder in your /buddypress/ or /community/ directories named common/search/ and copy in the new file from bp-legacy then modify.
In all of the above files, locate the search form block and replace with
Groups Admin Manage Screens (Trac #7079 )
groups/single/admin.php is now broken out by admin screen for ease of editing and overriding indivdual screens.
Although no changes are required, as there is no appreciable change other than convenience for developers, you might like to examine groups/single/admin.php & single/admin/ to see the changes and perhaps copy over.
Search Form for Groups Manage Members Screens (Trac #6385)
Adds search capability to the admin manage members screen.
groups/single/admin.php
If you』ve added the new bp_before_group_admin_form action to groups/single/admin.php, and have not overridden bp-legacy/buddypress-functions.php, then a search form will be added above the manage members list. If you have overridden bp-legacy/buddypress-functions.php, see the changeset for implementation details.
Groups Manage Members Lists (Trac #7105)
This update improves the structure of list items to more closely match members-loop.php.
Although this isn』t a breaking change you may like to update any overloaded templates for this improvement.
groups/single/admin/manage-members.php
Replace the blocks beginning
