    I have been looking through all documentation, but I still figure out, how to set up the plugin to my requirements.

    What I need is a simple way, for BuddyPress users, to upload and display eg. four images in their profile, which are permanently displayed, like featured images, meaning that visitors do not have to click on a gallery tab first to see the profiles images. I will use a hook element to position the images.

    Is this possible to achieve with this plugin?

    Best regards
    Carsten

    At profile tab only option is by clicking on gallery tab.
    Or,
    You can have Flexi ‘User Dashboard’ where own submitted image is shown.

    Can hide edit/trash icon so that user cannot control it. Only View allowed.

    Hi, thanks for the update, the errors disappeared by that.

    This is the display I get with Flex

    And this is with UPG, which is what I am looking for:

    So should I go with UPG instead of Flex, or can I achieve the same with Flex?

    Another issue when clicking

    https://imgur.com/RG4faP3 is user dashboard page.

    You need to create a gallery.
    Use [flexi-gallery user=”username”] where you gallery of particular username.
    Eg. [flexi-gallery user=”john”] will display all images submitted by jhon

    But you if you need dynamic username based on user login.
    Eg. [flexi-gallery user=”show_mine”] will display gallery of loggedin user.

    But in BuddyPress profile,

    1- You must enable buddypress from flexi settings
    2- At buddypress, images are visible only by clicking on gallery tab
    3- You don’t have to write any shortcode, it is all automatically done.
    4- It is totally depends on settings you have saved. You cannot add any parameters yourself as a shortcode.

    Thanks, I will follow your instructions and try again.

    1. I have.

    2.

    2- At buddypress, images are visible only by clicking on gallery tab

    But with upg using [upg-form] shortcode, no clicking on gallery tab is needed to view the image?

    3 and 4, I don’t, I use the shortcode to position the short code with a hook element supported by my theme.

    Any explanation why I get logged out clicking

    Post image

    ? with upg?

    3 and 4: I think it’s because I position the shortcode directly into this BuddyPress hook bp_before_member_body that I do not need to click the tab in BuddyPress.

    Ok, so I inserted both
    [flexi-gallery user=”show_mine”]
    and
    [flexi-gallery user=”username”]

    in the same element to display in the bp_before_member_bodyhook.

    This should display respectively my gallery and visits users galleries,
    depending on whether you are visiting your own profile or other user profiles.

    But in both cases, is says

    No records

    even if there are images in the gallery.

    Any support on this issue?

    I use this shortcode to display user submitted images [flexi-gallery user=”show_mine”] on their profile. But it says “No records”

    https://imgur.com/undefined

    despite images have been added successfully

    So the images are there but they do not show in the profile, is it the wrong shortcode I use for this purpose?

    To display in buddy press, you don’t need any shortcode. Just enable it from flexi extension and do required settings.

    [flexi-gallery user=”show_mine”] will show gallery of current logged in user.
    If it is blank and you are sure there is a files,
    Do check at Flexi admin dashboard
    check number of rows & column
    try changing layout.

    Thanks for your prompt reply, my intention for using shortcode is to display featured images under the profile header using a hook element like this:

    View post on imgur.com


    Its working in UPG but not in Flexi

    But even if I click and open the image tab, no records are displayed?

    If i open the Edit Flexi Post page I get this information, so this page is PRO only?

    okay, when I use [flexi-primary] shortcode in the element, the images are actually displayed as I want it, but it is not dynamic = the same images are displayed on all profiles.

    View post on imgur.com

    Is there another shortcode for showing the primary images dynamically?

    Thread Starter Carsten Lund

    (@carsten-lund)

    eg. [flexi-user-primary], or [flexi-primary user=”show_mine”]

    I have been looking at the Flow chart of Flexi plugin and trying to understand this, what am I missing here?

    Please explain why [flexi-primary] displays the gallery

    View post on imgur.com

    but these shortcodes do not show any records?
    [flexi-user-dashboard]
    [flexi-gallery user=”user_name”]
    [flexi-user-dashboard]

    [flexi-user-dashboard] gallery will be displayed if user is logged in and will display own submitted images.

    Hi there,

    [flexi-user-dashboard] does show the gallery on my page,

    but [flexi-gallery user=”show_mine”] does not show any records?
