Option to show gallery of profile pictures instead of list of members

[sooskriszta]

On member directory (as well as Groups' members pages) there should be an option to show members as a gallery of profile pictures (overlayed name, username, etc on hover), instead of a list.

A bit like MySpace ​http://vimeo.com/50071857

I would say this is up to the theme developer and not a BuddyPress default option.

FYI, your members directory request is kind of implemented with the new ​Turtleshell template pack.

Check out the following screenshot as an example:

This only works with BuddyPress 1.7.

Could likely turn this into a page template at some point.

Moving to Future Release.

If I'm to understand the idea, then this is what Turtleshell is currently using to display members. The idea there was to make sure Groups and Members was distinctively different.

I'm not sure about a 'switch' or option but a template could work. That or just opt for this as the default to make that distinction from other areas.

With the status being what it is, perhaps it might be a good time to give this another look?

Recommending to close this ticket. Our new template pack, bp-nouveau @ ​http://github.com/buddypress/next-template-packs, has this feature per video shown at ​https://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2016/07/15/the-state-of-the-bp-nouveau-template-pack/

Actually, I don't see that in the videos. While Nouveau allows admins to move the navigation around, at the heart of the current ticket is the issue of choosing what's shown on "Home" tab.

@sooskriszta The first video in the bpdevel post shows the "gallery of profile pictures instead of list of members" and also for group directories.

IMO, it's template territory (design). So themes should care about displaying this, the same they do that with categories/posts/etc.
And as Nouveau already showcased this - I consider this ticket should be manageable by site owners on their own.
