BuddyPress

Hi Chouf1, Perhaps you’ve misunderstood. Accented fields are not a problem to create or use if you’re using the basic template – my problems only arose when I tried to call those fields and use them conditionally in the members loop in a customized theme. So, for example , that would be equivalent to displaying [...]

Alrighty, I figured it out!! So, it looks like the function “bp_get_member_profile_data”, which is suggested for use on the members-loop page, doesn’t work with field IDs, nor accents, nor apostrophes. To get around this, I used the function that is used in member-header.php (bp_profile_field_data), which does accept field IDs, but specified the…[Read more]

Hi r-a-y,

Good suggestion. This worked perfectly for the single members page. However, I’m still having the same problem on the Member Directory page… This returns nothing:

bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=17' );

Ok, here was the solution! Indeed, if nothing is returned, the user hasn’t checked it. The problem was that I had to change the function to include the “get”.

$isMember = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=Member' );
				if ($isMember == "") {
					?><div class="member">Member</div><?php
				}

Thanks for the reply hnla. Apologies, my first instinct was to come here as I thought maybe someone familiar with how the ajax is referenced in the default theme could help me duplicate it in Buddymatic. For the moment, I’ve used the suggestion of the other poster, which was to duplicate and rename each and [...]

How would something like this be adapted for the directory loop? Is it possible? I am hoping to show whether users have a particular checkbox ticked in their profile (for the same purpose, to show a “badge”).

Anyone?? I found this forum discussion: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/profile-field-adds-award/?topic_page=2&num=15

I know it’s possible in the profile page, but can anyone tell me if the above method could be adapted for the directory loop?

I would have thought that too, and that’s the technique I’m using elsewhere to the same effect, with a different function – xprofile_get_field_data (‘Field Name’, $user_id). But using that function doesn’t seem to return anything, member or not, in the member loop.

Ok, thought I’d follow up in case anyone tries to do the same thing. Here’s the code that ended up working: $user_id = $comment->user_id; $isMember = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘Member’, $user_id ); if ($isMember == “”) { } else { ?> Abonné<?php } No idea how this would be done if you were testing for more than one [...]

Great plugin! Personally I am using it ONLY for the email subscription. I would like to see integration with Campaign Monitor, as it’s my email tool of choice, but in the meantime I’ve created a MailChimp account to gather email addresses.

Just wondering, does anyone have any thoughts on this? Still at a bit of a loss as to how to approach this…

Yes, I’m trying to style the comments of a particular group a little differently. The community I’m building is for users and potential clients of a membership-based service. Anyone can sign up, but I’d like to give commenters who are actual members of the service a little bit of a different treatment, so their comments [...]

Ok, update on progress. I finally found some examples in the forums of people calling profile data. Here’s what I’ve currently got in my template files, this seems to be working: $user_id = $comment->user_id; $isMember = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Member', $user_id ); echo 'Member: '. $isMember; The field is a radio button with only one option.…[Read more]
