I should think it’s just a syntax error your meant to pass a string but you’ve closed it out after =’ to parse the BP user id but not opened closed again try ” on the end.
WP_Query may be better for this but regardless you probably ought to run wp_reset_query() after the loop
The WP Codex will be your friend here though – it is more a WP related matter than BP.
@Hugo Thanks for the response. Reading this article and a few others, (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4907350/php-help-with-using-variable-inside-code) I have to close out the tag after author=
I searched WP Codex in and out… How would I call or filter my query by the buddy press “displayed_user” variable?
Thanks so much!
@yanodnoralov – You do have `global $bp;` inside the function, right? (Just checking, sometimes it’s the simplest things that get overlooked)
@ChrisClayton I’m not so hot with php.. What exactly would my global code be in functions?
A ‘global’ makes a variable available in different scopes – a function creates a new scope and code or variables that exist outside the function need to be passed through:
`global $bp;`
However if you are on a bp screen? you likely don’t need to pull out parts from the $bp global you should be able to use ‘bp_displayed_user_id()’
Ok, I believe I am on a bp screen. Here is my full code. This is the “functions.php” in my child theme. It displays 3 custom tabs and in the last tab is where y code struggle is. I think @ChrisClayton is right, I just need to have global $bp; inside the function. I just don’t know how I could code that. I appreciate the help guys, this has literally kept me up 5 hours of last night!
Hmmm, buddypress won’t let me post the code. Telling me I already posted it… Here is my child-theme’s full functions.php code: http://pastebin.com/ADbF82xL
*bump
guys, any help here would be really appreciate.
`function my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen333_content() {
global $bp;
query_posts( ‘author=’ . $bp->displayed_user->id );
// the Loop
if (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_content( ‘Read the full post »’ );
endif;
}
`
If you don’t tell it to use the global data, then it will assume you have defined it inside the function (and since you haven’t defined it, returns it false)
But, as @hnla said – you can just use the function (which will do the same thing as the above, with less code and easier to use)
`function my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen333_content() {
query_posts( ‘author=’ . bp_displayed_user_id() );
// the Loop
if (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_content( ‘Read the full post »’ );
endif;
}
`
Wow, perfect! So simple and works @ChrisClayton! Thanks a bunch guys!
Cheers
