IE:
`
$avatar_options = array ( ‘item_id’ => ‘1’, ‘object’ […]

`
function bp_get_group_avatar( $args = ” ) {
global $bp, $groups_template;

I can’t seem to get anything returned other then a blank image.

My issue was that I have a fairly large project that is loosely integrated with wordpress. A lot of my database inserts are performed outside any do_action() or any “official hooks”. I think one thing that threw […]

What I learned: How to cook a custom event ———————————————- 1) Action must be defined, ie: add_action(‘action_name’, ‘function_reference’) 2) If using a class method for your function method, use an array, ie: add_action(‘action_name’, array(&$obj,…[Read more]

I got some sleep and then opened my editor again. The fix for me, was probably not an elegant one: 1) includes/achievements_templatetags.php, around line ~1630, Updated the method dpa_change_picture_has_pictures() to return $wp_query->post_count instead of $wp->post_found 2)…[Read more]

First thing I looked at was includes/templates/achievements/single/change_picture.php dpa_change_picture_has_pictures() is a method that returns $wp_query->found_posts. This attribute looks sort of bare:…[Read more]

Now I see the event show up in “Other” when I’m in the “create achievements” form when I select “event”. Cool! When I reload the achievement details page after I created it, the % goes up every time I reload the page. Now […]

So many great extensions but very limited ability to find what I’m looking for. The things I want to know, quickly are: 1) Top extensions […]

I will have to give this plugin another look. When I first installed it, nothing worked with the version of WP and BP I have installed (most recent).

I’ll check out the code and see if I can’t help 🙂

I’m still evaluating a few different plugins vs writing my own. Have you guys made any progress with this or need any help?
