I was wondering if there was a way to create a user gallery on the fly for each member (similar to what the Author page does) that can be placed on another page or used in another area of the template?

Could I just swipe code from a file and copy it to another page or widget area?

BTW-love this plugin. find it more useful than nextgen.

Byron,

Thank you so much!!!

It does work

just not for what I was trying to do. You see I have this plugin called Mingle (sort of like a FB for wordpress anywho...), it creates a dynamic user profile that isn't an author page. And it somehow hijacked other widgets so that if they link in anyway to the author page they are directed to this user profile rather than the typical "author" page. But PhotoSmash, which is the perfect photo gallery, goes to the "author" pages. So I have been trying to figure out how to combine them under one roof (so to speak) with the least amount of manual intervention.

On top of all of that I'm using a template (Atahaulpa -sp?) that doesn't have an author.php so the easiest file I'd found to alter the code is in the mingle plugin. At least that was my assessment.

i just updated the mingle plugin and whatever changed broke the compatibility of the 2 plugins altogether. Basically it makes it impossible to pull up the box to upload images. Photosmash is more important so I'm dumping the Mingle plugin.

Just thought I'd give you the FYI since you were interested in the plugin.

Bummer,

Rashell

Mingle fixed the problem on their end, so I tried the shortcode you gave me. Didn't work. But I think it's another Mingle configuration thing. I tried using the author_post template tag and it gave me a strange output too. Anyway... waiting on BP or a fix from Mingle. Not a super supportive team over there, though. Who knows if I keep tinkering on the backend of things I may just figure it out...

Thanks much,

Rashell

Sorry to revive an old post but I'd be interested in having it work with Mingle, has anyone found a solution yet?

BTW, Mingle's next release will have 2 hooks added for profiles, hopefully that'll help.

Cheers,

Here is the profile page for mingle. I believe this is where the code would need to be placed. However, not sure what code to put in from photosmash. I tired the code from the post that Bryon did but I didn't work. Any ideads on this?

Hi Byron,

Sorry to be so persistent but is there some code modification/addition to "mesh" Mingle profiles with Photosmash?

If you could come up with a patch or plugin to make the two work together, a lot of people would appreciate it. Mingle has been downloaded over 45,000 times and has quite a following who are looking for a compatible photo gallery plugin and I'm positive that a lot of them would gladly make a donation.

"Is that Profile page the logged-in user's profile or are they viewing someone else's profile?"

Hi Byron,

Actually, this is the public profile which can be viewed by other users (and the user himself, of course).

Cheers,
Gene

Thanks Bryon - for repsonding! I've been out of pocket for the last two weeks and just came back to check this post. Thank you again and I'll give this a try and let you know how it works out.
