I truly appreciate everyone’s help on this, by the way. I’m learning a lot here.

I think I’m a buddypress addict now.

I agree with @dennis_h,

Gigya has some great (stable) plugins it would be nice to see this adjusted for BP. It sort of works. It will get them logged in, but its setup for WP so everything goes to the WP profile pages and not BP. I would say moding this would be ,much easier than try to make a stable version from scratch.

If this plugin would let you map FB profile info into xprofile fields, it would be exceedingly useful.

Ok, I think I’m close to knowing what I want; But I don’t seem to be much closer to getting there.

Unfortunately, I think my main problem is that the members loop isn’t flexible enough in its parameters for what I want (I want to add it to a child template and for it to automatically show the users of the current blog AND their xprofile information. Seems simple, but I’m lost).

I could hand code in each of users ID’s and get the exact output I want, but this means I have to make a new template for each blog/”art project”, and it doesn’t update automatically when a new artist is added to a project.

There’s hope in the group members loop (I’m using the BP Groupblog plugin, so when users join a group, they are added to a blog), but I still have to enter in the group_id manually in the template.

<?php if ( bp_group_has_members('group_id=1') ) : ?>

<?php while ( bp_group_members() ) : bp_group_the_member(); ?>

<?php $authorBio = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Bio', $user_id=bp_group_member_id() );

echo 'Authors bio: '. $authorBio; ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php endif;?>

But as it is, it outputs: 11Authors bio: 10Authors bio: 9Authors bio: 8Authors bio: 7Authors bio: 5Authors bio:

Should I scratch the whole thing and find a new route?

@mercime Male & female

Actually, the project is moving to a Franciscan monastery nearby. Either way, the real monks and nuns moved out some time ago.

BTW, I’m still getting some errors with https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-widget-for-blogs/

Warning: array_map() [function.array-map]: Argument #2 should be an array in /wp-content/plugins/bp-profile-widget-for-blogs/bp-profile-for-blogs.php on line 110

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /wp-content/plugins/bp-profile-widget-for-blogs/bp-profile-for-blogs.php on line 112

By they way @r-a-y or anyone else:

I’d help out if you can guarantee me some free lodging in that art monastery some time in the future

It looks like this is not out of the realm of possibility. Email me nathan@artmonastery.org to learn more. I’ll probably post a general work/trade offer somewhere on this forum soon.

Have you found an answer to this? It seems like it should be straightforward.

[rsqst]

I found a solution here: http://www.code-zen.net/2009/using-custom-profile-field-data-in-buddypress-templates/

What I needed did in fact exist in the members loop already; just needed some help identifying it.

Line 36:

<?php

/***

* If you want to show specific profile fields here you can,

* but it'll add an extra query for each member in the loop

* (only one regadless of the number of fields you show):

*

* bp_member_profile_data( 'field=the field name' );

*/

?>

[rsqst]

Thanks r-a-y, I’ll look into that!

[rsqst]

Thanks, I’ll take a look here. Are the parameters listed the only ones available for each loop?

[rsqst]

If you know anyone who would be interested in collaborating on this project, I could sure use help, and I think it would be an interesting test case.

I’m a volunteer, though, so it’d have to be pro bono (until we get some grant money).

email me: Nathan@artmonastery.org

Thanks for your help @r-a-y

It’s for the next version of this website: http://www.artmonastery.org

It’s for a network of artists. Each blog will be a specific art project, and each subscriber/author will be an artist participating in that art project. Many artists will be participating in many different art projects, and I’d like their bio information to be publicly displayed on each blog/project.

The blogs will be the public “portal” for each of the art projects, which we will us to promote the projects. The groups that are associated with each blog (with the group blog plugin) will be the internal communication tool for the artists.

I’d like all the subscribers/authors/etc (aka artists) for a given blog (aka art project) to be listed at the top of the blog’s index.php page, with a few fields from the xprofile (bio, specialty, etc.). Ideally, I’d get them to echoed in a way that was easy to feed into a snazzy jquery slider gizmo.

artists.

I’m trying to build a resource for these artists that is really 1 database with many faces, and given that I love wordpress, buddypress seemed like the best way to do that. It’s just stretching my abilities, at the moment

Thanks Bowe, that plugin seems to be not working in BP 1.2. The author appears to be working on a fix.

But I will take a look at how it’s constructed.

Thanx

[rsqst]

Thanks!

Forgive me for being slow on the uptake, but do I add that to functions.php and then call it somehow from the members loop?

I’m not sure what to do with this.

Gratefully,

Nathan

Ah hah!! I figgered it out myself.

Had to update to PHP 5 by adding “AddType x-mapp-php5 .php” to the .htaccess file at the root of the install.

Voilå!
