thanks, yes that is how I ended up doing it as well. I just changed that plugin to allow public tab viewing on the profile page and then added a function to show the posts based on the buddypress user’s profile instead of the logged in buddypress user. To do this you can use:

$favorite_post_ids = wpfp_get_users_favorites($GLOBALS['bp']->displayed_user->userdata->user_login);

to get the buddypress users favorites who’s profile you are viewing. Then, you can add the code to display the favorites in the same function. After this, you can use a custom shortcode function to display it on the tab you created.

In the current version of this plugin(Version 1.6.0 with WordPress 3.8), I was able to figure out how to add a custom post type as follows…

In wpfp-page-template.php, change this:

// custom post type support can easily be added with a line of code like below.
//$qry['post_type'] = array('post','page');
query_posts($qry);

To this:

// custom post type support can easily be added with a line of code like below.
$qry['post_type'] = array('post','page','YouCustomPostType');
query_posts($qry);

Where, ‘YouCustomPostType’ is the non-plural form of your custom post type. You can add on as many custom post types as you need. Hope this helps!

Hi,

I would also like to get it so that when someone adds a post as their favorite it shows up on their buddypress profile.

I think I understand most of your steps.

However, can you explain how to post the loop?

After you add…

$fav_array = wpfp_get_users_favorites(bp_get_member_user_id());

how do you post the loop to get it to show the posts?

Thanks for answering my question guys! I will have to look into using that plugin jkhongusc. It is nice that I am not the first one trying to do this. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to help me out. Thanks!
