@djpaul please help me solving this I see that you managed some trac tickets about something similar, maybe bp_is_component_front_page is the key?

Thanks

[SGr33nParticipant @sgr33n 8 months, 1 week ago]

Right paul,

How can I correct this?
Wanna look at the code?

[SGr33nParticipant @sgr33n 8 months, 2 weeks ago]

42 years, 8 months ago is timestamp 0, maybe the value passed was not an integer or something broke up.

Here it is the full function (untested):

function bpdev_get_birthday_from_dob($dob_field_name,$user_id=false){
if(!$user_id)
$user_id=bp_displayed_user_id ();

$dob_time=xprofile_get_field_data($dob_field_name, $user_id);//get the datetime as myswl datetime

$dob=new DateTime($dob_time);//create a DateTime Object from that

return $dob->format(‘F, d’);
}

Paul, anyway it’s pretty simple to use both methods. We know that default wp_users support first_name, last_name, nickname and description (bio). Maybe you could make possibile to modify each of that from buddypress (i made it in my theme) and make a base group with these fields. Then if administrators want to add more fields and groups you could populate xprofile table. In this way you could have a more deep integration into WordPress.

[SGr33nParticipant @sgr33n 8 months, 2 weeks ago]

Sorry if I asked something already answered

[SGr33nParticipant @sgr33n 8 months, 2 weeks ago]

Same as before but:

echo $dob->format(‘F, d’);

[SGr33nParticipant @sgr33n 8 months, 2 weeks ago]

Cool so a more deep integration into the wordpress core… Speaking of This, i’m just wondering why buddypress doesn’t use user_metadata and have a proprietary xprofile table.

[SGr33nParticipant @sgr33n 11 months, 1 week ago]

Guess that’s for the spam control. So that’s why the DB needed to upgrade, I see it already on the current SVN.

Thanks Paul

Here they are
These improvements will affect the database structure?

Thanks
