You really should search before posting, rather than have us do it

this is most likely a mod_rewrite / .htaccess issue o in this instance on a windows server a lack of mod_rewrite.

It is a question that crops up many times, try this link for some info and follow it’s links as well.

The WP Codex also has advice on url rewriting in particular on windows servers.

@cliffxuan, thanks for the tip!
I’ve been searching for a solution but no luck till read your post. Now I’ve got things showing correctly.
By the way, I think bp developers can solve the problem by watching the difference between activity update and forum post. Activity pages can show things correctly without the setting of utf8_general-ci while forum pages can’t.
Anyway, now I got things right, thanks again

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.

Have you tried to install it? Are there specific issues that have arisen?

There is some issue at present with this plugin whereby the original author is, I think. in dispute with another that he claims has copied his code and released thus the download for the original hasn’t been available, so not sure what version you have or whether this issue has been resolved.

Here’s the documentation for the various filters available for the Groups Loop: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-groups-loop/

There’s a number of ways to skin it. You could do 2 loops on the same page and just check each group to see if it should be in the featured list of groups or not. The other is to use one of the above filters. groups-loop.php is the file you’ll probably want to look at.

@nit3watch wp-config is not a file that gets overwritten otherwise everyones site would go down every time one upgraded Adding Constants to wp-config is an method set out in the codex as is bp-custom, not that I like adding bp stuff to wp-config particularly.

@PiManIII you should always check the documentation and do a quick search first as it’s a subject that crops up often have a look through the bp codex as there is a page on this subject. (scroll to bottom)

@pcwriter go for it, it’s there to be used if it suits the purpose. – API keys were always a pain

@leguis08 Glad it works.

@gunju2221 It is very possibly a custom theme issue, a custom theme will have to have ensured that the correct action hooks exist in pages as the main maps are fed through to the page via these, you could test with the widget instead which was provided really so that site admins could place the map in more refined custom widitised areas of the members profile pages if they existed.

When writing something like this you can only account for that which is known thus the included stylesheet is there simply to try and style the map if it’s dropped into bp-default, therefore those styles may not have relevance to a custom theme, especially where that theme may be heavily modified, however the basic styles are worked on elements and element id’s/classes that should exist in any theme.

The other aspect of course is that you must have created that extended profile field and named it ‘location’ and existing users will then need to actually edit their profile to add an address or partial address for the map to display, if a user hasn’t filled this item in then the map does not display at all.

HI – I was wanting to do the same thing , and made my own functions from the two mentioned here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-edit-user-and-options-nav

Then edited my template files to create my own sidebar and call my function:

/*
/ Create nested navigation items
/
<hr class="bbcode_rule" />
*/

function my_bp_get_nav_nested() {
global $bp, $current_blog;

/* Loop through each navigation item */
foreach( (array) $bp->bp_nav as $nav_item ) {
/* If the current component matches the nav item id, then add a highlight CSS class. */
if ( !bp_is_directory() && $bp->active_components[$bp->current_component] == $nav_item ) {
$selected = ' class="current selected"';
//Get the sub-navigation items if currently selected
$subnav_item = my_bp_get_options_nav() ;
} else {
$selected = '';
$subnav_item = '' ;
}
/* If we are viewing another person (current_userid does not equal loggedin_user->id)
then check to see if the two users are friends. if they are, add a highlight CSS class
to the friends nav item if it exists. */
if ( !bp_is_my_profile() && $bp->displayed_user->id ) {
$selected = '';

if ( function_exists('friends_install') ) {
if ( $nav_item == $bp->friends->id ) {
if ( friends_check_friendship( $bp->loggedin_user->id, $bp->displayed_user->id ) )
$selected = ' class="current selected"';
}
}
}

/* echo out the final list item */
echo apply_filters( 'bp_get_loggedin_user_nav_' . $nav_item, '<li id="li-nav-' . $nav_item . '"><a id="my-' . $nav_item . '" href="' . $nav_item . '">' . $nav_item . '</a></li>', &$nav_item ) . $subnav_item ;

}

/* Always add a log out list item to the end of the navigation */
if ( function_exists( 'wp_logout_url' ) ) {
$logout_link = '<li><a id="wp-logout">root_domain ) . '">' . __( 'Log Out', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';
} else {
$logout_link = '<li><a id="wp-logout">root_domain . '">' . __( 'Log Out', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';
}

echo apply_filters( 'bp_logout_nav_link', $logout_link );

}

/*
/ Edited bp_get_options_nav() to return a string
/ rather than printing directly to screen
/
<hr class="bbcode_rule" />
*/

function my_bp_get_options_nav() {
global $bp;

if ( count( $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->current_component] ) < 1 )
return false;

/* Loop through each navigation item */
foreach ( (array)$bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->current_component] as $subnav_item ) {
if ( !$subnav_item )
continue;

/* If the current action or an action variable matches the nav item id, then add a highlight CSS class. */
if ( $subnav_item == $bp->current_action ) {
$selected = ' class="current selected"';
} else {
$selected = '';
}

/* echo out the final list item */
$subnav_item_render = $subnav_item_render . apply_filters( 'bp_get_options_nav_' . $subnav_item, '<li id="' . $subnav_item . '-personal-li"><a id="' . $subnav_item . '" href="' . $subnav_item . '">' . $subnav_item . '</a></li>', $subnav_item );
}
return '<ul class="subnav">' . $subnav_item_render . '</ul>' ;
}

Yep, you can definitely do this with WP/BP. But as far as photo albums/videos go, you’ll definitely want to figure out the storage/hosting part, because it sounds like your users might be playing with loads of data.

@nit3watch That works great! Thanks!

Would you be interested in improving it a little more? I would like to, but probably could use a bit of help.

Two main things I would like to do:
1. Geocode the address so the use doesn’t need silly cords.
2. Display map of all groups.

Shouldn’t be too hard?

@maui1

The adminbar is triggered by the call to wp_footer. So make sure that call is present in your theme.

I tried the plugin, although it does not show up in the profile?

Must be because I am using custom theme
