Profile stats and location in profile page like buddypress.org
-
How I can insert the widget’s profile with the user’s recent activity and location as buddypress.org?
There are some plugin to do this or do I need to change the profile page? Someone who can guide me. Thanks in advance

couldn’t you specify, where exactly I should put this code?
(probably, profile-loop, but somehow it does not work for me).V3 map api would be good, but my knowledge of html, php, etc..won’t allow me to do this.
P.S. “..Are you asking for permission?..” I just don’t know what all these plugins licenses mean. maybe authors of gPress will decide to eat my tiny www for this x lines of code
It’s gpl code, Apart from the fact that no would know, give due attribution to the original authors of the work/ code snippet and unlikely anyone will eat your www
The code above that Paul shows in the pastebin example is run as a standalone snippet that you would place where you wanted the map to display or you could run it from a functions.php file using add_action function to place the code on the page where there is an action hook such as bp_profile_header_meta.
To see the code working try placing it somewhere in the members-header.php file perhaps for testing purposes before or after the div item-meta block of code. As for where it really needs to go for your requirements that’s harder to say
Just a heads up for anyone else (i.e. – n00bs like me) who wants to implement this on their site: when you insert your new API key in the code where it says [YOUR API KEY] , make sure those square brackets – [ ] – are removed. In other words, don’t just drop your key between them (like I did
) ‘cuz it ain’t gonna work.A little styling and it works & looks just fine. Check it out:

Goody! I’d like to incorporate this into my new theme framework (coming along nicely…). That is, if you don’t mind credit and some link love
I couldn’t figure out how to do it without the key but, now it looks doable. Thanks a bunch!@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.
