Thanks @bphelp, that’s a great option. I’ll have to work on getting the text for that significantly smaller now! See the two options: http://coolurbanhousing.com/register where the BP Xtra Signup formatting is more in line with how one normally sees it (subtle) on a registration page.

[Tux KaponoParticipant @tux-kapono 1 month, 1 week ago]

Thanks r-a-y, turns out it’s a setting in BP Xtra Signup. It looks like that plugin hasn’t been updated in two years and doesn’t work with newer versions of BuddyPress anymore.

[Tux KaponoParticipant @tux-kapono 3 months, 1 week ago]

I posted a straightforward book link on Amazon.

My greatest regret is that the people working on the gamification elements of BuddyPress 1.8, nor anyone else reading the forum, benefitted from knowing that this newly published resource even exists.

Thank you for reinstating my account.

How does one unresolve an issue? I’m actually worse off than I was Rather than have secondary fields appear only on the profile page, they’re not appearing anywhere at all.

[Tux KaponoParticipant @tux-kapono 3 months, 2 weeks ago]

I actually want to keep the registration page as is, otherwise it’s too overwhelming. It’s the profile page that I want the secondary group fields to show up on.

[Tux KaponoParticipant @tux-kapono 3 months, 2 weeks ago]

Actually, how does one get the secondary profile field group to show up in the member’s profile area, ideally on the same page as the base group? It’s only showing the base group on both the registration page (desired) and the profile page (needs both).

Thanks @mercime!

My developer is trying to use Nextend Connect, separate plugins each for Facebook, Twitter, Google. Anyone try them? I’m not sure the individual ratings are real, but they’re pretty glowing: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=nextend+connect

From WordPress forum:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-work-with-existing-registered-buddypress-users?replies=8#post-3783207

“so i have not encountered any problems with wsl with bp and if there is its pretty much manageable via the settings. but it would be epic if wsl will be officially be compatible with bp.”

What does it mean to be BuddyPress compatible anyway? Why is it that the best plugins, SocialAuth-WordPress, WordPress Social Login, AddThis Social Sign In aren’t ‘BuddyPress optimized’?

I’m having a developer implement one of these for our site, and I’d be glad to share what we needed to do to ensure that we have a registration form with a few required fields, and existing users can use this service as well.

[Tux KaponoParticipant @tux-kapono 3 months, 3 weeks ago]

Unfortunately none of these really stand out for a Facebook/Google/Twitter option:

BuddyPress compatible
LoginRadius – External service. Customizing registration page requires $49/mo. option.
WP-FB-AutoConnect – Facebook only. Creates duplicate users?
BuddyPress Facebook Connect+ – Facebook only. $30 (3-months) to $99 (year) to update plugin.
OneAll Social Login – Not customizable. Free up to 2500 users.

Not designed to be BuddyPress compatible
SocialAuth-WordPress
WordPress Social Login
AddThis Social Sign In

Thank Roger,

It took a month to get a response from the developer, thus me trying to figure it out in the meantime. Their answer:

“Yes, this is in fact because i’m generating a random username for users
(since we don’t want them to use it anyway.) But you can modify the code,
which is somewhere in the gantry framework – buddypress plugin folder, and
generate it from the display name or whatever. I just wanted to make sure
there were no invalid characters in it.”

This is the URL I get when clicking on a user via /activity/: http://sourcethestation.com/members/d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e4ffcb0045875362219/
This results in a 404.

This is the URL I get from the same user when clicking on their name via /members/:
http://sourcethestation.com/members/dbel/
This results in the correct page.

This is what shows up under username in the Dashboard: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e4ffcb0045875362219

We do have it set up so that the email is the username, and no one has to enter a username when registering, only an email address.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not possible I assume?

[Tux KaponoParticipant @tux-kapono 1 year, 2 months ago]

aces, that’s a good option, but many simply don’t even want to have to adjust their settings to hide what they view as very private data, and many won’t even check until they get someone telling them, “Hey, did you know a lot of your private data is showing on your profile?” By then, trust is lost, often permanently.

[Tux KaponoParticipant @tux-kapono 1 year, 2 months ago]

Here’s what my developer came up with, though I sure would prefer this solution in the long term: http://csplacemaking.com/images/profile-questions.png. I can’t understand why anyone would be OK with their birthdate publicly displayed. Anyway it’s a hack, but it works…

She put it in the CSS file, and you have to know the numeric field IDs. Scroll to the end of the themes/[your theme, in my case, Tachyon from Rocketthemes]/css/template.css file and adjust the following code:

.controlwidget {display: inline-block; float: left;margin-left: 1px;}
html body table.profile-fields tr.field_3, html body table.profile-fields tr.field_3 * { display: none !important; }
html body table.profile-fields tr.field_2, html body table.profile-fields tr.field_2 * { display: none !important; }
html body table.profile-fields tr.field_15, html body table.profile-fields tr.field_15 * { display: none !important; }

[Tux KaponoParticipant @tux-kapono 1 year, 2 months ago]

Actually, I did. She was wondering if there were more obvious solutions than what she could think of. Though she mentioned that the listed solution only works if you don’t ever have a different field name.

Attached is a screenshot of what I really was hoping BuddyPress would have, a standard Ning feature, which allows you to select ‘private’, so the answer will only be visible to you and other administrators: http://csplacemaking.com/images/profile-questions.png. This is the ideal solution.

[Tux KaponoParticipant @tux-kapono 1 year, 2 months ago]

Thanks Hugo, I’ll have to pass this one on to our programmer
