Featured = most popular members?

Hello,

Thank you for posting. The current plugin version does not have such kind of functionality to mark members as a feature. But it does allow API to mark a user as featured or unfeatured. Please let me know how you are checking members as most popular so that I can help you.

Hello Ravi, thank you for your message.

Well, I use the normal “member” widget that comes with Buddypress/Buddyboss.
It shows (inside a widget – sidebar) members according to “active”, “new” and “popular”.
So users can switch between these three tabs and see a number of members in this sidebar widget.

As far as I understand, I need to mark usres as featured manually in the backend.
I was hoping that it is possible for the “featured member” plugin to tap into this widget and mark popualar users automatically as featured.

That would be fantastic!

Hello,

Thank you for the acknowledgement. In order to set featured members, This plugin needs some events(WordPress Action) to fire. BuddyPress shows popular users using their friend’s count and there is no event available here to determine when a user is deemed popular. So, there is no reliable way to keep the sync.

For the time being, please use the button available on user profiles to mark the user featured.

Will do Ravi ??
Would have been awesome though, you could turn it into a freemium (paid extension) plugin.
All good, I just wanted to know. I will mark them manually then.
