BuddyPress.org

I am using the Colorway Pro theme and the plugins are Buddypress V1.8.1, Buddypress Activity Plus V1.5. WordPress is the latest update.
The site is in testing mode at the moment, but can be seen at http://www.thedogsclub.com/testing/
This is the link to the page I have problems with
http://www.thedogsclub.com/testing/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bp-components

I am trying to achieve something that looks like this screenshot, but at the moment it is more like a dogs dinner! http://wpmu.org/top-3-ways-to-build-a-social-network-with-wordpress/

Many thanks

So I’m trying to figure this out on my own and I got as far as finding out that since BuddyPress 1.7 there’s a new class: BP_User_Query – which should be similar to the standard wordpress WP_User_Query

However the official BuddyPress documentation page for the class is just a holding page (argh!) – https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/class-reference/bp_user_query/

Does anyone have a basic ‘Hello World’ example they could give me for pulling in a list of users based on a custom profile field?

I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks

sorry but actually i finally found the correct plugin, here is the link for those who need it :
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-sitewide-activity-widget/installation/

cheers,

Here are the details:

Wordpress 3.6.1

Plugins:

Buddypress 1.8.1
bbpress 2.4
Private Community For BP Lite 4.0
BePro Listings 1.2.35

Spent the last 30 minutes doing some digging and found an old thread with a detailed explanation from Boone:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/please-help-me-understand-a-wordpressbp-feature/#post-97470

As far as I can tell, two functions perform the ‘syncing’ of data

xprofile_sync_wp_profile()

Syncs Xprofile data (nickname, first name and last name) to the standard built in WordPress profile data

xprofile_sync_bp_profile()

Syncs the standard built in WordPress profile data to XProfile

That’s about it. Nothing exciting really, just two nice little housekeeping functions

@hnla – not quite sure I follow…?
