The group members list already shows a list of all members with links to their profiles.
Don’t know about any plugin providing a graph of user signups though. You could probably write a plugin to do that but it’s likely to get complicated depending on how you want to do it.
If you have FTP access, you can rename the plugs/buddypress directory to something else, this will stop BuddyPress from loading and that should get you working. If that works you will then need to work out why it failed, but I guess it’s one step at a time.
Might be easier to create each organisation as a group, that way you could use group member functions to create a page to display them. The issue with a profile page is that it’s geared towards a single user_id, you’d have to create custom functions to tie that user to other user_id’s and then create a custom page t display those users. So by using groups you are working with functions already set up to deal with a collection of people.
Slightly different scenario, but I needed to allow users to create posts with maps and link them to other MP Google Maps maps. The solution I came up with was to use two maps plugins – Simple Locator, which allows users to add a site specific map to their post, and WP Google Maps. Simple Locator sets two lat and long fields which a custom function I wrote picks up when the post is saved and sets markers on the WP Google Maps map.
I guess the key question is how do you intend to get the map into the users wall? Would it be an activity update that included a map or some other way?
That function has been deprecated, it simply needs to be deleted, are you sure it’s in BuddyPress/members/…? Typically it’s an overload of this file that is at issue, check with your theme creator to see if they need to update.
In Users>>Profile Fields there is the default profile group – Base, any profile field in this group will be on the registration form. If you create another profile group, the fields in their will not be shown on the registration form.
Possibly the best way of doing this would be to create a custom xprofile field type that encompasses your universities as a drop down list. There used to be the perfect template for you on github – a BuddyPress Xprofile Country Picker – all youd really need to do is swap out the countries for universities. However, I can’t find it, but a deeper search might find it somewhere.
You could use one of the existing Xprofile field types as a template for what you want to do. There’s a number of Xprofile Custom field type plugins around, a quick search in the plugins directory and you will find them, find on that provides a drop down list and fork that. This way you let BP do most of the work for you.
Try [activity-stream allow_posting=”1″] this should test is, I’ve had a look at the shortcode and I’m not sure it’s possible to only display the What’s up screen without showing some activity, but it’s worth testing to see if you get the input form.
