I vaguely remember a plugin that would allow a file upload in the profile field. Have you searched the plugins for this? I think it was about resumes or something. However, you could just modify the display from a link to a document to display the image.
Yes i did search the plugins but no luck. I didnt get any results with ‘resumes’ either. What do you mean with ‘you could just modify the display from a link to a document to display the image’? Thanks!
Do you mean another image along with their avatar?
Yes so basically the Avatar would show a facepicture of the CEO and the other image the company logo.
I tried to search around too. I couldn’t find the thread either. Maybe it was just someone asking for it. I didn’t need the feature so I didn’t keep track of it.
My point was that I remembered them asking for the ability to upload a document and have it linked from the profile. To do a logo, you’d have to modify it to display the logo instead of the link. Doesn’t matter though if we can’t find a plugin like that.
It’s certainly a doable feature for a developer to create. They could probably leverage the WP media upload and then display it in someone’s profile. You could post the job to the BP job board group if you have some money to fund it.
I did find a couple other options. Not exactly what you mentioned, but they might work for you:
Showing the last image uploaded to the BP Media plugin: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/topic/limiting-photos-shown-and-also-how-to-display-latest-uploaded-photo-on-users-profile/
The latest BP Oembed plugin was working to support embedded image in the profile: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-allow-user-to-upload-image-with-a-field-in-profile/ Basically, users could put a link to a flickr image (or other oembed enabled site) and the image would appear in their profile.
BP Media plugin is very non-user friendly and doesnt fit the bill for me. The problem with BP Oembed plugin is that I dont want to force users to create a Flickr account or anything similar. Thanks for your help so far – too bad we havent been able to find a real solution
What you’re looking for is a *custom* solution. If it’s for a company or client project, why not hire one of the many bp devs out there to build it for you?
