Setting Featured Members

I'm having a brain freeze - where do I go in admin to set featured members?

Edited: OK, I see that they are random - but they don't have their username under the image so if there's no profile photo, we can't tell who they are. How do we pull in the username?

Within your Admin Panel, there is a checkbox to tick on the member's profile edit page to set the member as featured ;-)

Rather than display the username, you can edit the SQL query to display only featured profile with photo... Add to the query something like: AND 'picture'=1

(Sorry I don't have time to search the file and the correct syntax just now) 

Oh wow, I would have never seen that, you have to go into the profile. OK. Actually I want the username, right now there is none ;-)

See: http://www.truebellezas.com/community4/ (no name in featured box)

Name under featured member profile photo

1) Add user name/user url to featured member box

Edit file: templates/base/scripts/BxBaseIndex.php

Find: function getBlockCode_Featured

Find code bellow, added code is bold:

$ret .= '<div class="featured_block_1">';
$ret .= get_member_thumbnail( $featured_arr['ID'], 'none' );
$ret .= '<center>';
$ret .= '<a href="' . getProfileLink( $featured_arr['ID'] ) . '">';
$ret .= process_line_output( $featured_arr['NickName'] );
$ret .= '</a>';
$ret .= '</center>';
$ret .= '</div>';

Thanks Stuart 038.  That script works perfectly.  Do you know how to make the font smaller so it matches up with the member font size?

Fantastic Stewart - I have a field for "full name" defined, and am now able to add the names of my sponsoring members to this block.  Good job.
