echo get_the_author_id() first to make sure it has a value.

If it doesn’t, xprofile_get_field_data will return nothing.

also – If the profile field in question is empty, nothing will be returned.

I’ve worked on sites using WishList and BP and have not seen an avatar issue.

So it’s probably an issue with the avatar path created by Profile Builder.

I’ve sent you an email.

To return a csv string rather than array, try:

xprofile_get_field_data( 'Specialist Sectors', get_the_author_id(), $multi_format = 'comma' )

That approach is okay, but it’s post query.
Starting in 1.7 there are some pre_query hooks. And I think more in 1.8.
Those hooks are very handy, especially on big sites where performance is an issue.

In this context, you would:
Gather all the ids in the stated range
And exclude them from the member query – take a look at the…[Read more]

While very doable, this will require custom coding.

You need to state which versions of WP & BP you use.

You want to ‘hide’ the profile page for a member who hasn’t paid their dues?
What should happen if that page is accessed by that member or another member?
Redirect? Custom message page ?

If ‘paid dues’ is a boolean, then it’s easy to write a function.
Where is that boolean stored?

Or use the unfiltered_uri, for example… `
function restrict_access(){
global $bp_unfiltered_uri;

if ( !is_user_logged_in() && !bp_is_register_page() && !bp_is_activation_page() && ( $bp_unfiltered_uri[0] != ‘some-slug’) )
bp_core_redirect( get_option(‘home’) . ‘/register’ );

}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘restrict_access’, 3 );

I’ve used it with BP 1.6.x.

>how is this ‘too complicated’?
Can you code it?
How would you explain it to membership?

>the user doesn’t know that they are in a sandbox
lol, and that won’t lead to a flurry of support submissions?

For public sites, there has to be a balance between driving membership numbers and ‘protecting’ existing members.
An abuse / spam flag syste…[Read more]

Too complicated, imo.

Harnessing the membership for these kinds of things is a tried & proven technique.

In this context, provide a flagging system to bring activity to the attention of admins.
And provide content sweeping and IP blocking via htaccess for repeat offenders.
Not difficult to write.
I’ve done it for large BP sites and no doubt…[Read more]

You don’t state which version of BP you’re using.

>as soon I start searching (whether it’s the name of the member, or part of the address) the groups-loop stops working.

If I understand you correctly, bp_has_groups doesn’t ‘work’ if you include search terms.

Perhaps it is working but the search terms are not being found, so no groups are b…[Read more]

>I also know the bp_get_member_user_id() is working perfectly inside the user-loop, so that shouldn’t be the issue either.

Classic mistake. Don’t assume – check it.
Create a string and echo it out.$user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();
echo 'user_id: ' . $user_id;

$args = array(
'type' => 'alphabetical',
'user_id' => $user_id
);

There is no ‘paid level of support’ within this site.
BuddyPress has a very ‘internalized’ business model.

Thanks for the update, mercime.

Things definitely are not yet ‘back to normal’ but hopefully will be soon.

To change the output, use the filter hook in
bp-groups-template.php -> bp_get_groups_pagination_count()

return apply_filters( 'bp_get_groups_pagination_count', sprintf( __( 'Viewing group %1$s to %2$s (of %3$s groups)', 'buddypress' ), $from_num, $to_num, $total ) );

You can’t override functions unless they are…[Read more]

Using ‘scope’ will over-ride any filters, as noted in bp-activity-template.

There are various ways to makes this a function, but it depends on your install params, hooks etc.

Following on with your approach, try putting this (untested) at the top of the main activity template.
$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();
$following = array();
