Doh! You know, I was using explode() later on to extract the individual elements – don’t know why I didn’t think of using implode() to clean up the array.

Thanks @hnla – that works now. For reference, here is the full code – basically this uses the data derived from checkboxes in the member’s profile (in this case it’s called “Areas of Interest” with the field ID of 25 – change this to reflect your name/field ID) to hunt down related content tags and display a random list of content relevant to that member (remember to put the code mentioned by @boonebgorges (above) in your theme’s functions.php):

`

<?php //for use in the loop, list 5 post titles related to user profile interest areas – checkboxes in extended profile
$backup = $post; // backup the current object
//Fetch profile tags from custom field ‘Areas of Interest’ and clean up data
$profileTagFull = xprofile_get_field_data( ’25’ , bp_loggedin_user_id() );//Fetch the text for the tags
$profileTagClean = implode( ‘, ‘, $profileTagFull);//Clean up the data

$profileargs=array(
‘tag_slug__in’ => explode( ‘, ‘, $profileTagClean ),
‘post__not_in’ => array($post->ID),
‘showposts’=>5,
‘orderby’ => rand,
‘order’ => DESC,
‘caller_get_posts’=>1
);
?>

Content of Interest
()

<?php
$profile_query = new WP_Query($profileargs);
if( $profile_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($profile_query->have_posts()) : $profile_query->the_post(); ?>
• cat_name . ‘: ‘; ?><a href="” rel=”bookmark” title=””>

<?php endwhile;
} else { ?>

• No related content

<?php }

$post = $orig_post;
wp_reset_query();
?>

Thanks to @hnla @r-a-y and @boonebgorges for their help.

Hi Dan,

Something like this, but just under the group picture.

@nuprn1 @r-a-y Just a little update,

Finally got around to it, actually the lastest Buddypress update kinda forced me to and it worked like a charm. I had to educate my self on wordpress’s apply_filters and add_filters.

I wrote a custum function that filtered the results of the groups_get_groups function, basically removing my “handy dandy” code from the core files into my cutome plugin class file. Thanks for all your help.

I’m using a theme called buddypress daily that I got from buddydress so yeah, I guess so.

@hnla , @rogercoathup : One thing I donot understand (surrendering that I am a novice) , the snippet suggest that `if user is logged in then the condition is to padd 0px` , but what is need according. to the scenario is `if a user id logged out the padd 0 px , else padd 25 px`
isn’t it ?

`
function cancel_header_padding_for_no_adminbar() {
if (is_user_logged_in())
body {padding-top:25;}

else(defined( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’ ) || $bp->doing_admin_bar = false) ?>

body {padding-top:0;}
<?php
}
add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘cancel_header_padding_for_no_adminbar’ );
`

could it be like this ? I have not tested as I think it has some syntax error

Thank you guys, would you please help me in this:

Thanks! I’ve almost finished the illustrated theme manual to help newbies (like us!) to get started on customizing the basic theme. Then I still need to update the code for BP1.2.6

The whole impetus behind the development of this theme was to provide as simple a framework as possible while offering several options and as much easy customization as possible for non-techies. All that while keeping the pricetag low (premium = $20), yet still offset the time invested for development and support.

However, along with the unexpected code updates and my father’s declining health (I’m taking a week off to spend some time with him) comes an unfortunate delay: the freebie will be available by the end of the 2nd week of November, while the premium should follow a few weeks after that.

I apologize in advance for the delay everyone, but please take consolation in that the premium will include a few surprises.
Ooh… anticipation is a fun thing!
