Hi Mike. It actually uses the xprofile default ‘name’ field, then display_name, then user_nicename, in that order of priority.
This part of an activity is hardcoded in the ‘action’ column of the activity db table; you’d also have to change it on the way in with filters. e.g. groups_activity_created_group_action
I’ve not seen any such guide, and since it would require someone to figure out it for you, you probably won’t get a quick response. I know one of the core developers of BuddyPress is keen on non -Ajax support, so if it doesn’t work in BPDefault, submit it as an issue to the BuddyPress trac.
We should be stripping HTML comments rather than just parsing out the angled tags, which is what I guess is happening. Please could you report this on http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org? Thanks
Sounds like a lot of info for the sign up form. What about jus putting a dropdown with the ‘person type’ in the first profile field group (which is the one that appears on the registration page by default), and then putting further type-specific fields into their own profile groups.
With a little bit of coding, you can deny visibility or access to these other profile groups depending on user type, without too much diffficulty.
