I am using a clever script to allow users to select a user role on registration:

add_action('user_register', 'register_role');

function register_role($user_id, $password="", $meta=array()) {

$userdata = array();
$userdata = $user_id;
$userdata = $_POST;

//only allow if user role is my_role

if ($userdata == "my_role"){
wp_update_user($userdata);
}
}

I am trying to adapt it to use on the BuddyPress Profile Edit form but cannot get it to work. I guess it needs the right add_action(). Any ideas what that would be?

I think I have answered my own question… the relevant add_action seems to be ‘xprofile_updated_profile’.
