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…
