I’m creating a portfolio section and want to display member name, bio and member photo for members from specific member group, in my case photographers. It doesn’t seem like the custom profile data tag can do this. Is there a plugin perhaps?

Also, after enabling member photos and uploading a member photo, I can see it on the server, but on the edit member photo section, it just says “current photo” “my photo”, but no image? So while I’m asking for a plugin that can filter via member groups, is there a plugin that has better profile/member photo functionality that ideally overrides EE’s native one?

Thanks!

I think User from Solspace, might be your best bet.

ok thanks I posted there, where are the EE moderators? Besides displaying only a specific member group, let me point out the entire issue.

I’m developing a photography section. My requirements are:

1. Dynamically show members and related fields from a specific member group
2. Dynamically link from those members to a dynamic template that only displays entries from that member including member name

More detail:

On the photography index template I want to display a member photograph, name, and bio but only members from a specific member group in this case the member group called photographers i.e. no hard coded member id’s. This template must update dynamically as new members are added to the photography member group.

Each photography member logs in and uses channel images to load a bunch of images per entry in a channel called photography, so that the entry names are the different sections of their portfolio. When photographers log in they only see entries created by them (Can view channel entries authored by others: off)

Each member on the photography index template has a link to the portfolio template, but this link must be dynamic e.g. it must take you to the portfolio template and bring along their member id/author id and show images from the photography channel but only for entries for that member/author.

p.s. Maybe I should not use member data and just create a photographers channel and store the photographers details there, that will solve my first issue , but I can’t fathom how to link dynamically from the photographers channel entires to the photography channel and only show entries from a specific photographer in the photography channel?

Thanks!

Hey nomoretables,

I am glad to see that the community was able to jump in and help! Great suggestion Ian, I would have said the same.

It sounds like you have a solid plan and some great ideas for implementation.

As far as your idea with sharing information across channels, you might take a look at Relationships

If you would like, I can move this post over to the Community Help Forum where you might get some more ideas on implementation.

Cheers,
