Perfect would be to make it flexible enough that you can fetch from many social networks and not only from Reddit.
I’m not really sure how these bots work on Slack or Discord. Maybe I can try to figure that out and that might shed some light on a possible implementation in buddypress.
I had the same register problem. I couldn’t see any group in “Profile Fields”.
I tried to create another one, i was getting a success message but still not able to see any group.
So i checked in the db and I noticed that there was a the column “group_order” missing in the wp9_bp_xprofile_groups table:
mysql> desc wp9_bp_xprofile_groups
-> ;
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
| id | bigint(20) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| name | varchar(150) | NO | | NULL | |
| description | mediumtext | NO | | NULL | |
| can_delete | tinyint(1) | NO | MUL | NULL | |
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
4 rows in set (0.01 sec)
I reached that finding because I compared with another buddypress installation I have.
I added the column to the table and then everything was working again:
mysql> desc wp9_bp_xprofile_groups;
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
| id | bigint(20) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| name | varchar(150) | NO | | NULL | |
| description | mediumtext | NO | | NULL | |
| can_delete | tinyint(1) | NO | MUL | NULL | |
| group_order | bigint(20) | NO | | NULL | |
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
5 rows in set (0.08 sec)
Here you are how I added the column:
mysql> alter table wp9_bp_xprofile_groups add column group_order bigint(20);
mysql> alter table wp9_bp_xprofile_groups modify group_order bigint(20) not null;
The “Base” group was again visible in the administration page and those fields were visible again in the registration page.
I could not find out what modified that table. Also reinstalling the whole buddypress doesn’t help as I noticed that the buddypress tables in the db are not deleted.
