I can't get images to show for buddypress search results page

[dandoParticipant]

Hi, I’ve got this problem on my site where when you search for buddypress users, on the results page there are no avatars, just names, in one solid column. I can solve the layout problem with elementor, but try as I can I can’t get the avatars to show up. images show up for any other post type

Hi,

Thank you for all the details. Unfortunately the plugin cannot affect the results page layout, it is fully controlled by the theme you are using. Usually themes support only post types with images, so profile images may not show there. It might be possible to get the images via a modification though. There is a theme function api available, but you will have to ask the theme author as well on how exactly modify the images within the theme files via a child theme.

In your case, you are looking to implement something like this, to pass the search images to the results page:

<?php
$asp_img = get_asp_result_field('image');
if ( !empty($asp_img) ) {
  echo "<img src='$asp_img'>";
} ?>

Is this for groups only? I’m using Jupiter X, and I’ve added your code to the search.php fragment like this;

function jupiterx_post_image() {
	$asp_img = get_asp_result_field('image');
	if ( !empty($asp_img) ) {
	  echo "<img src='$asp_img' />";
	}

after this, if I search for a term that affects both groups and users, the search reveals the groups images, but not the users.

You can see the result here;

No, it should work with anytthing there. Mabye something is overriding those images, I am not sure.

Try maybe a bit more advanced modification:

  $asp_type = get_asp_result_field('content_type');
  $asp_img = get_asp_result_field('image');
  $asp_id = get_asp_result_field('id');
  if ( !empty($asp_img) ) {
    echo "<img src='$asp_img' />";
  } else if ( $asp_type == 'user' ) {
    if ( function_exists('bp_core_fetch_avatar') ) {
        $im = bp_core_fetch_avatar(array('item_id' => $asp_id, 'html' => false));
    } else {
        $im = $this->get_avatar_url($asp_id);
    } 
    if ( !empty($im) ) {
      echo "<img src='$im' />";
    }
  }

just one last thing – if I click on a user’s name, the link takes me to /author/admin/ instead of members/admin. is this a theme thing as well?

don’t stress, I found the solution –

I’m putting it here in case anyone else has this problem, go to your functions.php and add this;

add_action(‘init’, ‘cng_author_base’);
function cng_author_base() {
global $wp_rewrite;
$author_slug = ‘members’; // change slug name
$wp_rewrite->author_base = $author_slug;
}

This will modify the slug for authors

[dandoParticipant]

can the_asp_result_field return a link to the profile?

[Ernest MarcinkoKeymaster]

Hi,

Not sure about that, it may not work, but if so, then it should return the same link as set here.

<a href="<?php echo get_asp_result_field('link'); ?>">My link</a>
