    Hello

    I just discovered you have a plugin for featuring members. I am not a developer, but I understand there is a shortcode I can use to display the featured members on a page by creating a new page or post or widget and pasting in that shortcode as a shortcode (rather than say a paragraph). What I don’t understand is how to use the “view(string)” to change the way it is displayed, if I want it displayed as say a slider. Can you explain where it would go and how I should write it?

    Thank you

    Hi Stephanie,
    Thank you for the question.

    you can use the like

    [bp-featured-members view=slider ]

    or you can quote the part ‘slider’ with single or double quote. Please do it manually(without copying from here as the code may get entity encoded).

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hello Stephanie,

    Thank you for posting. You can list the members using shortcodes for different views in a following ways.

    
[bp-featured-members view="list"] // Will show members in list view
[bp-featured-members view="slider"] // Will list members in slide view
[bp-featured-members view="default"] // Will list members as per your theme

    Please give it a try.

    Regards
    Ravi

    Hello Brajesh and Ravi,

    Sorry to re-start an old topic. I tried this and I could get the slider to show, but I couldn’t figure out how to use the other customisation variables. I am not a developer but based on the little I do know from experience that I picked up, I tried the variables from this page: https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-featured-members/.

    For example for the slider speed, I tried
    [bp-featured-members view="slider" slide-speed="1000"]
    since it said (int) where int means integer and the default is 400 (miliseconds I presume) so I put 1000. I also tried
    slide-pauseOnHover
    and
    max
    using
    ="" format as well as the for example max() format, and placed it immediately after the default
    [bp-featured-members view="slider"] shortcode between the two square brackets but nothing worked. Not sure if I am using the wrong code format or if there is a conflict with the theme. I am using a child theme of the BuddyX theme.

    I have version 1.1.3 of the Buddypress Featured Members plugin, wordpress Version 6.7.2, and a child theme of BuddyX version 4.7.7.

    Thank you
    Stephanie

    Hi Stephanie,
    Hope you are doing well.

    I am sorry for the delay.

    Please make sure you do not copy and paste the field/value in editor. some editor might copy the markup and won’t render it properly.

    You may also try to avoid quotes(or do not copy from the plugin page, It is entity encoded and will fail).

    By not working, do you mean that specific feature is not working or the whole plugin stopped with BuddyX?

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hello Brajesh,
    Thanks for your email.

    By not working I mean that the codes I tried had no visual effect at all.
    I tried your suggestion of removing the quotes and there was some effect but not ideal and not every customising shortcode I tried worked. I have an example page. As it is a test site and may be deleted in the future, I will add the link as a private reply in a following post.

    This is what I tried to change the slider speed:

    [bp-featured-members view=slider slide-speed=4000]

    For me on Firefox 115.21.0esr, it slides slowly but it slides back and forth in both directions and it looks very awkward. On Chrome, (I have an outdated version of Chrome so it might not display correctly), it slides in one direction but then it suddenly jumps.)

    I tried to add other shortcodes for other customisations, like this:

    [bp-featured-members view=slider slide-speed=4000 slide-pauseOnHover=1]

    I assumed that the 1 in

    slide-pauseOnHover=1

    means “on”, since the plugin page says the default is 0. But when I hover over it, it doesn’t stop sliding.

    Hi Brajesh,

    Sorry for that. I removed the featured members as a test and forgot to re-feature them. I have made two test members featured members now, you can see them now.

    Thanks
    Stephanie
