1. Activity Embed
The Activity Embed block let authors embed an activity into their post or page. Itโs very similar to the WordPress Embed block except that it is specific to BuddyPress Activities. Copy the permalink to the Activity single view page, add the Embed an activity block to your post or page, paste the activity link into the placeholderโs input and click on the โEmbedโ button to have it rendered.
Once rendered, you can adjust its alignment and include a caption under the embedded activity.
2. BP Members Block
Use this BP Block to select community members you want to feature into a post or a page. Itโs a different approach than what weโre doing into our Members widgets. These are sorting members rather than allowing the author to pick the ones heโd like to include in his custom list.
It looks very similar to the BP Member block at first sightย . But as soon as youโve added the first member, the Autocompleter control will still be available at the bottom of the block. Use it to add as many members as you need.
From the blockโs settings you can choose whether to display the user names, mention names, the full/thumb version of profile photos or no photo at all.
From the blockโs toolbar you can select the display mode to use : List or Grid. If you chose the grid one, youโll be able to customize the number of columns to use for this grid from the blockโs settings. You can also choose to add extra BuddyPress information about the displayed members. For this grid display, only the information about the last time members were active is available.
When you select the List display, you can include the latest activity the members posted .
If you need to remove a member from the list, Simply click on theย xย button at the right of the memberโs line or cell.
3. BP Groups Block
Use this BP Block to select the groups you want to feature into a post or a page. Itโs a different approach than what weโre doing into our Groups widget. Instead of sorting groups according to the date they were created, to the last time they were active, to their amount of members or alphabetically, authors can pick the ones theyโd like to include in their custom list.
Just like the BP Members block, once youโve added your first group, the Autocompleter control will still be available at the bottom of the block to let you choose as many groups as you wish.
Using the blockโs toolbar you can select whether to display the groups in a list or in a grid. If you chose the Grid display, youโll be able to define the number of columns to use from the blockโs settings.
Still from these blockโs settings, you can show or hide the group names, decide to use the full or the thumb version of the group profiles photo and include some extra information about the Group.
The List display lets you select any of the available extra pieces of information :
- the group descriptions,
- or the last time the groups were active,
- or the amount of group members.
When the grid mode is active, only the two last pieces of extra information will be available.
Finally, if you need to remove a group from the list, Simply click on theย xย button at the right of the groupโs line or cell.
