Sure thing, Peter:

This is a child blog that uses a child of the default BP Theme. Eventually, I’d like to get all the authors/artists listed (with their xprofile info) to show up in a slider.

Interestingly, you’ll see I added the WP Carousel jquery plugin, just for kicks, and that DOES seem to work (I think it has its own jquery calls), but it’s not what I need (unless I tweak it somehow to display bp_member_profile_data).

Here’s a description the big picture of what I’m working on, if it’s interesting or useful to you: http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/how-to-get-xprofile-data-to-show-up-on-child-blogs-eg-author-name-and-bio#post-47421

Thanks!

Hi Nathan,
Thanks for stopping by! I hadn’t come across that slider before, it looks pretty sweet. Can you post a URL of your site where it’s not working? I might be able to glean some info about what’s going wrong.

Thank you for code-zen! I’ve turned here a number of times when I couldn’t figure out what was going on (e.g. Using Custom Profile Field Data in Buddypress Templates)

I have an issue right now with Buddypress 1.2.3, on WPMU 2.9.2, which I thought your wp_enqueue_script solution in this post would solve. It has something to do with how wordpress or buddypress deal with javascript.

I’m trying to install this jquery slider on a child theme, and it’s acts as if javascript were turned off…

The slider is here: http://cssglobe.com/post/5780/easy-slider-17-numeric-navigation-jquery-slider

I’ve tried a few other javascript plugins, and none of them seem to work on this site.

I tried:

I wonder if you would have any ideas what might be going on? My php & javascript chops are limited.

It also might have to do with this topic:

Thanks again for a great resource!
