BuddyPress

Is there a way I could display the users followers or following count outside of a widget?

function follow_deleted( $user_id ) {
global $wpdb, $bp;

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( “DELETE FROM {$bp->follow->table_name} WHERE leader_id = %d”, user_id ) );
$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( “DELETE FROM {$bp->follow->table_name} WHERE follower_id = %d”, user_id ) );

}

add_action( ‘wpmu_delete_user’, ‘follow_deleted’ );
add_action( ‘delete_user’, ‘follow_deleted’ );
add_action( ‘make_spam_user’, ‘follow_deleted’ )

I am trying to do the same thing as @iintense
@phartes – I don’t understand your reply

I am just trying to get a list of the names of the people a user is following / is followed by

Basically what you need to do is create a new BP members loop using bp_has_members(), and filter it so that it returns only the followers / following members. Below is what I am using on my site to return user following avatars.

<?php if ( bp_has_members( 'type=random&per_page=10&include=' . bp_get_following_ids() ) ) : ?>
	<div id="following" class="widget">

		<?php 

		echo '<h2 class="widgettitle">Following <span class="count">'.$counts['following'].'</span></h2>';

		?>

		<ul id="following-list" class="item-list">
		<?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?>

			<li>
				<div class="item-avatar">
					<a href="<?php bp_member_permalink() ?>" title="<?php bp_member_name() ?>">
						<?php bp_member_avatar('type=full&width=100&height=100') ?>
					</a>
				</div>

				<!-- <?php do_action( 'bp_following_list_item' ) ?> -->

			</li>

		<?php endwhile; ?>
		</ul>
	</div>
	<?php else: ?>
	<div class="widget">
		<div id="message" class="info">
			<p><?php _e( "Sorry, this member has no following.", 'buddypress' ) ?></p>
		</div>
	</div>
<?php endif; ?>

@drebabels could you walk me through which files to edit etc?

@henry the code should go into one of your template files (i.e. if you want the followers to appear in your sidebar then you should add the code to sidebar.php). This Buddypress Follower Loop work the same way as Wordpress ones do.

@drebabels, on your site where exactly do you use that on your site?

@drebabels Hello !
Everything works well but I can’t get the number of followers or following…
Is there something wrong ?

Thanks for your help !
