  • Hi Venutius,
    I am using an WordPress listing theme with BP and BP Profile Shortcodes Extra plugins.
    Each listing have an author, and author name can be display by BP.
    Site’s Visitors can check the listing and i need to display for them 2 fields from the author’s record: His picture and his Biographical Info.
    I have try using the short code of: [bpps_profile_avatar] ([bpps_profile_avatar user_id=’:authid‘]) But get nothing…
    Like to ask you if it possible to do what i am trying to do, and if it possible what is the best way to do it.
    The needed fields are: “Biographical Info” and “Profile Picture”

    Thank you from advance,
    Doron

    Hi there,

    I’m going to be away for a week so I may not reply for a while.

    They key to using the shortcode is where you are picking up the user id from. Currently you can either get it from the BuddyPress displayed user id, the post author id or you can manually set the user id from the login name or the numeric user id.

    You seem to be trying to pass a variable called authid, is that correct? I’m assuming its not a username. Where is this coming from?

    Hi Venutius,

    I try to get that details with help of colleague, He is trying to do an SQL procedure but getting nothing.

    Like your kindly help of getting “Biographical Info” and “Profile Picture” of the author’s listing and display that information to the visitors who will see that listing.
    I am using the MyListing theme and the listing are tours that the author is the guide.
    (Visitors are not login to the site. only users are)

    Thank you

    Hello,

    I believe that I have similar issue …
    I am trying to add a button in the post (listing) and redirect to the Author BP profile with the code below :

    [bpps_profile_url text=”View Profile / Private Message” button=”button” displayed=”Author”]

    I can see a button called “View Profile / Private Message” in the post (listing) but when I click on it, then it always redirect to the Admin profile which is mine and not the Author of the post (listing).
    For information, I test it with 2 Subscribers using 2 different browsers (Google & Firefox)

    In fact, the page (not the post/listing) has been created by me, the administrator !!!
    I am a beginner, not really good and not sure to understand well the short-code too …
    Anyway, you are very welcome if you have any idea to rectify this attached short-code … if not, I am going to rent the service of a developer … BP Profile Shortcodes Extra plugin is a good base …

    Thanks in advance,

    Chris

    Look that support is now so good?

    A few people are running into similar issues

    there are some things that need to be worked on regarding [bpps_profile_url] – that the developer has not had time to address

    try this:

    [bpps_profile_header displayed=”Author” ]

    this will show the Avatar (profile image), Cover Image, and @username that links to the profile page. see notes in this plugin description about css if it doesn’t display as you’d like
