I had to remove this line of course:

add_action( 'xprofile_updated_profile', 'xprofile_sync_wp_profile' );

Plugin now activated. Now testing to see if it does anything…

Edit: The plugin does not derail registration, but doesn’t do anything useful either. The first_name and last_name do not show up in wp_usermeta.

Why doesn’t it work? Any suggestions very much appreciated.

Another attempt! What I really need is a variation of the xprofile_sync_wp_profile function that takes $fullname directly from the registration form and can be executed on user_register.

That shouldn’t be too hard, right?

function synchro_wp_usermeta() {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$fullname = GET FROM THE REGISTRATION FORM INPUT

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'user_register', 'synchro_wp_usermeta' );

I have another plugin that also takes data from the registration form. That plugin has this in the code: $input_data. Is that standard wp? There’s nothing about it in the Codex.

That other plugin has this function, minus irrelevant bits:

function subscribe($input_data) {



// $post_data = array();

foreach ($input_data as $varname => $varvalue) {

$post_data[$varname] = $varvalue;

}



}

$post_data='action=subscribe&group_ids[]'.$this->lid.'&email_address='.$this->email_id.'&firstname='.$this->name_id;

So in my case that last line would become something like this?:

$post_data= 'first_name='.$this->first_name;

Of course somehow put together in one function. Like this?:

function synchro_wp_usermeta($input_data) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$post_data = array();

foreach ($input_data as $varname => $varvalue) {

$post_data[$varname] = $varvalue;

}



$fullname = $post_data[fullname];

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'user_register', 'synchro_wp_usermeta' );

Can anyone please help? What should I put here for the “fullname” field?:

$fullname = $post_data[fullname];

Or is the entire approach wrong?

I think the code that actually processes the input from the registration form is in bp_xprofile/bp-xprofile-classes.php, Class BP_XProfile_ProfileData etc.

Input data is apparently stored with function save() and the input data is a combination of field_id + value for the same $this->id.

In the html ‘* Name’ is an optional field with the name/id field_1. I guess that’s the field_id?

Now I need to figure out how to get a definition of $fullname out of that. I’ll look for more examples/tutorials how processing form input in php actually works…

Would this work? Does it make sense?

function synchro_wp_usermeta($user_id, $meta ) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



// Extract signup meta fields to fill out profile

$field_ids = $meta['xprofile_field_ids'];

$field_ids = explode( ',', $field_ids );



// Loop through each bit of profile data and save it to profile.

for ( $i = 0; $i < count($field_ids); $i++ ) {

if ( empty( $field_ids[$i] ) ) continue;



$field_value = $meta["field_{$field_ids[$i]}"];



$field 				 = new BP_XProfile_ProfileData();

$field->user_id      = $user_id;

$field->value        = $field_value;

$field->field_id     = $field_ids[$i];

$field->last_updated = time();

}



$fullname = $field->field_1;

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'user_register', 'synchro_wp_usermeta' );

I’m looking for a way to define $fullname, to take the input from field_1 (* Name).

Please, anyone, help. I’ve been struggling with this for about four months now.

EDIT: Tried the code in bp_custom.php. It produced (?) a nasty database error, may have even crashed the server…
