Hey, guys!

I’ve got a working code (copied below), which allows me to create a tab on our profiles for articles that were written by the users. It’s working but I would like to customise it a little bit, and I don’t know a lot about coding. If I click on the tab, the full articles become visible including the title. What I would like however is to be able to click on the title, see the excerpt instead of the full article, and the full-sized featured images above the titles. Also, by the Latest Posts option, is there a way to see how many articles were written by our users?

Thanks a lot!

function bpfr_get_post() {
	
	/*
	 * to get all post, comment the line 'author'
	 */
	$myposts = get_posts(  array(
	'posts_per_page' => 3, // set the number of post to show
	'author'         => bp_displayed_user_id(), // show only this member post
	'post_type'      => 'post',
	'orderby'          => 'post_date',
	'order'            => 'DESC',
	'post_status'      => 'publish'
	));
	
	if( ! empty( $myposts ) ) { 
		
		foreach($myposts as $post) {
			setup_postdata( $post );
			$page_object = get_post( $post );			
			
			/* 
			 * uncomment next line to show only a list of titles linked to full post
			 * if you uncomment, you have to comment the 2 echo below
			 */
			
		// echo '<a href="' . get_permalink($post->ID) . '">' . get_the_title($post->ID) . '</a>';			
			
			/*
			 * comment the 2 following echo (or remove them) if you use the above
