Hi! I would like to view a list of members within a given spf group on a wp page (for instance above the widgets in a sidebar). Couldn't find a template tag to do this… basically the code would go something like:

<ul><?php foreach(member in a group) {echo: '<li><a href=" ' .link-to-profile. ' ">' .member avatar. ' '. member-name .'</a></li>';} ?> </ul>

Any thoughts, anyone?

Take a look at the code in the file:
simple-forum/admin/pane-usergroups/ahah/sfa-ahah-usergroups.php
his is basically what that code does. it is the code that populates the 'show users' on the usergroups forum.

thanks! on another note.. could there be something wrong with the "Keep Forum and WP Display Name In Sync:" setting in the profiles? The sync seems to only go one way – When the profile in wp-profile is changed, it automatically updates the forum profile, but when I update the forum profile, it doesn't automatically update the wp profile… And also – how would you go about making the "Keep Forum and WP Display Name In Sync:" setting to "On" as default for new members?

Oh hmm. I took a look at that file – and I am not that proficient in php… is it something there that could be copied to a wp page template..?

Well no – not as is. Sorry – I thought you wanted to code something and this is a good template to work from as it basically does what you want. But it would need some recoding to work outside of the forum.

Yey… I actually managed it.. with your help and a little help from the code in the plugin "Author Avatars List"

If you're interested – here is the code:

function memberlist(){

// Function to display a list of members in certain spf user groups

// on certain wp-pages with their avatars and links to their profiles.

// Define how to display output

function ph_sfa_display_member_roll($members) {

$out.= '<div class="ph-author-avatars">';

$out.= '<div class="author-list">';

$out.= '<div class="sidebar">';

$out.= '<h3>Medlemmer</h3>';

$out.= '</div>';

if ($members) {

for ($x=0; $x<count($members); $x++) {

$out.= '<div class="user"><a href="'.sf_build_profile_formlink($members[$x]->user_id).'"><span class="avatar">'.get_avatar($members[$x]->user_id, 60).'</span><span class="name"><strong>'.sf_filter_name_display($members[$x]->display_name).'</strong></span></a><div class="biography">'.get_the_author_meta('description', $members[$x]->user_id).'</div></div>';

}

} else {

$out.= 'Ingen medlemmer funnet… På tide å registrere seg?';

}

$out.= '</div>';

return $out;

}

// Define which page belongs to which user group

if(is_page('stv')) $usergroup_id = 11;

if(is_page('fu')) $usergroup_id = 7;

if(is_page('alu')) $usergroup_id = 8;

if(is_page('sr')) $usergroup_id = 10;

if(is_page('iapss')) $usergroup_id = 14;

if(is_page('ifis')) $usergroup_id = 12;

if(is_page('zp')) $usergroup_id = 13;

if(is_page('mf')) $usergroup_id = 9;

// Collect data from spf database tables

if($usergroup_id) {

global $wpdb;

$sql = "SELECT ".SFMEMBERSHIPS.".user_id, display_name

FROM ".SFMEMBERSHIPS."

JOIN ".SFMEMBERS." ON ".SFMEMBERS.".user_id = ".SFMEMBERSHIPS.".user_id

WHERE ".SFMEMBERSHIPS.".usergroup_id=".$usergroup_id."

ORDER BY display_name";

$members = $wpdb->get_results($sql);

echo ph_sfa_display_member_roll($members);

}

// For use with the Thesis theme:

add_action('thesis_hook_before_sidebars', 'memberlist');

And here is the corresponding css:

.custom .ph-author-avatars div.author-list { padding:0 0 0 1em; width:40em; }

.custom .ph-author-avatars div.author-list h3{ font-size:1.4em; }

.custom .ph-author-avatars div.author-list .user { float:left; display: block; padding:0.2em; width:19em; text-align:left; }

.custom .ph-author-avatars div.author-list .user span.name{ display:block; font-size:1.1em; }

.custom .ph-author-avatars div.author-list .user div.biography { font-size:0.95em; }

.custom .ph-author-avatars div.author-list .user a{ /*text-decoration:none;*/ }

.custom .ph-author-avatars div.author-list .user .avatar img{ float:left; margin:0 1em 1em 0; border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px; -moz-border-radius:4px; }

See the result here: http://statsvitenskap.no/foreninger/fu/ (and the other "foreninger"-pages – these are different student associations)

Very nice. You did well.
I'll take a closer look at the code you used…
Thanks for sharing.

Cool.. any suggestions to make it cleaner are deeply welcome!

PS.. I tried using the avatar template tag:

sf_show_members_avatar($userID, $size=0)

But that didn't work very well… I put it where the "get_avatar()" tag is now, and First of all it was dreadfully slow Yes – I enabled avatar template tags in the code optimalization admin page).
Also, when I turned on the option "override wp avatars with forum avatars", that also made the load times very slow.

Secondly, it created a lot of extra code, and it didn't place the avatar where I wanted it.. would it maybe be better if it coughed up something more similar to "get_avatar"?

The reason for why I wanted to use "sf_show_members_avatar()" is of course that it would allow locally uploaded avatars, not dependent on "gravatar.com".
