Hi Andy,
Thank you for sharing.
Your image responds beacutifully. I had used some other way ( two containers, inner for content+overlay and outer for the background image). I did set background-size:cover and position to center, center. That saves a lot. My implementation is working but is not the best thing(specially on small screens).

I like your concept of using proper ratio and cropping. Thank you for all the explanations.

Here is the code for the modfied function

http://pastebin.com/DNYqJpjZ

It is almost same of the core handler with 2 small changes. I did not like copying the whole function and I have dropped the idea of multiple cover image for now, It needs more work in BuddyPress core. I will be opening a ticket, If things get in the right direction, the above task could be accomplished in 4-5 lines without any duplication of code.

For now, Please use the above code. Please do let me know if that works for you or not?

Hi ,
sorry about that. In the shortcodes.php, please replace the whole “bp_gallery_list_medias” function by this

function bp_gallery_list_medias( $args, $echo = true ) {
	
	$content = "";
	
	$params = wp_parse_args( $args, array( "show_thumb" => true ) );
	
	extract( $params );
	global $medias_template;
	
	if ( bp_gallery_has_medias( $args ) ):
		while ( bp_gallery_medias() ):bp_gallery_the_media();
		    
			$media = $medias_template->media;
			
			$content .= "<div " . bp_get_media_css() . " id='gallery_media_" . bp_get_media_id() . "'>";
			$content .= "<div class='media-content'> <h5 class='media-title'>" . bp_get_media_title() . "</h5>";
			
			if ( $show_thumb ) {
				
				$content .= "<a href='" . bp_get_media_permalink() . "'>" . bp_get_gallery_media_full_html( $media ) . "</a>";
				$content .= "<br class='clear' />";
			}
			//  $content.="<p class='media-description'>".bp_get_media_description()."</p>";
			$content .= "</div>"; //media content div ends here
			// endwhile;
			$content .= "</div>";
		endwhile;
		$content .= "<br class='clear' />";
	endif;
	
	if ( ! $echo ) {
		return $content;
	} else {
		echo $content;
	}
}

That will solve it.
Hope that helps.

Hi Jan,
No, It won’t do that.

Hi Andy,
Sorry about the delay. Been a little beet inactive on weekend.

You are right about the message. I am also integrating the new cover image to our upcoming theme and have faced similar issue. There is a way to do it by unhooking the core ajax upload handler

remove_action( 'wp_ajax_bp_cover_image_upload', 'bp_attachments_cover_image_ajax_upload' );

and adding our custom handler for the action that generates the error. But I am not sure if that will be the best thing to do(and another issue is future compatibility).

If you are interested in this approach, I can assist with the code.

Hi George,

1. It looks for the the current page( custom post type) associated with group. If it finds an ID, then it tries to display the content.

‘bpge’ is a meta key and has nothing to do with the page slug. BP Extras uses it to store the associated page id. Please try debugging it by doing some print_r on the ID/post etc.
