    Greetings code monkeys. I’m new here, but not to WordPress. I have been searching hard and long for a plugin with no avail. So I’m asking for a mod. I need a visual editor, wysiwyg editor if you will for the member profiles on my buddypress site. Each profile info page has your typical fields I have created: facebook url, twitter id, website, about me, etc…but I need to give them an html field where they can add a small snippet of script.

    Now, I am still learning php, brand spanking new at it, but still, learning the basics. I don’t have a dedicated server yet or the skills to run a cpanel on limited help from my host. I wondered if it would be better to run buddypress on WordPress MS(mulitsite) install instead. I only have about..147gb of server space so I will eventually have to move it over to a dedicated server(heard that sucks)

    In any case, I need a hand or advice on the mod versus moving to multisite.
    If the mod adding a wysiwyg front end editor on profiles for BP is easier, then how to??

    Site is still in tweeking mode..but you can take a peek if you choose: http://artfirelink.com

    It’s dangerous to allow code to be entered into profile fields. Why HTML?

    My network is a bunch of baby boomers selling crafts. I teach them how to be a merchant more effectively. Their stores on Artfire.com has a widget per seller where they can add a rapid cart, shopping window or a collection. All the code is clean and safe, no other code will be allowed. I’m aware of the spammer risks..been there, done that.
    The field should look similar to a blog post editor or text widget. Besides, the rapid cart code won’t work unless a shortcode is made by adding the script to the widget area and then shortcode for it in the field. This is why I’m wondering if the multisite is a better fit, harder, but better fit for what I want to offer.
    The Ning sites had pages for members like such. They were drag and drop fields with the ability to accept code. Like a comment box might. This is what I need for members. I already have a member approval mechanism installed. They have to attend the basic instructions of how to blog, to be able to use the field I need made. A sign of who they are.

    Is the widget code the same for every user but maybe a different id number to differentiate the widget?

    You can do it safer by hard coding the widget and pull in the id number per what ever each user has entered into a text field. Does this make sense?
