Hi, if i understand well: you are looking for a way to display the latest idea a member posted inside the BuddyPress members loop.

here’s how you could do :

function natty_latest_idea_in_members_directory() {
	// Ideally, there should be a cache strategy to improve performance.
	$idea = wp_idea_stream_ideas_get_ideas( array(
		'author'   => bp_get_member_user_id(),
		'per_page' => 1,
	) );

	if ( empty( $idea['ideas'] ) ) {
		return;
	}

	$latest_idea = reset( $idea['ideas'] );

	if ( ! is_a( $latest_idea, 'WP_Post' ) ) {
		return;
	}

	// always use this function to build the idea permalink!
	$latest_idea_link = wp_idea_stream_ideas_get_idea_permalink( $latest_idea );
	?>
	<p>Latest idea: <a href="<?php echo esc_url( $latest_idea_link );?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( $latest_idea->post_title );?>"><?php echo esc_html( $latest_idea->post_title );?></a></p>
	<?php
}
add_action( 'bp_directory_members_item', 'natty_latest_idea_in_members_directory' );

You must know this will bring you some overload in the display of the members directory. There should be a cache strategy to avoid to request for posts at each member. So i think, i wouldn’t advise you to use this as is, but i would advise you to ask a WordPress/BuddyPress developer to build the feature so that it doesn’t overload too much the loading of this specific page.

Ah.. is it possible to have infos about your config ?

I haven’t downloaded it, but have you tried to name your file wp-idea-stream-de_DE.po/mo. Because the plugin will look for this kind of name (eg: wp-idea-stream-fr_FR is loading because it’s prefixed ‘wp-idea-stream-‘).

It’s at the right part of the ideas archive page title, or you can use the nav widget to put it in your sidebar

No, i’ve just tested it and it’s working fine for me.
