BuddyPress.org

I’ve been searching all night for this, too.

As for the usernames, I just added a note to the field that appears on registration. When people are signing up, and that mandatory username field pops up, I make sure users know that this is visible to the entire community. That way they know not to use something private. Most internet users know all […]

Pretty easy. Just create some custom registration fields for each of the categories you want to collect. You can make them mandatory if you want, too.

Then to make things private you can use the BuddyPress Private Community plugin, and that would prevent prying eyes from seeing things they shouldn’t.

Can’t wait. This will be a great addition.

Yep, that works for me, too.

This is my first pass, and I’m getting a T-string error on the last line – FWIW, I have no Idea if this is the correct path, but it makes sense to me

function add_profile_updates_to_activity_feed(){
global $bp;
}
$bp_member_profile_data( ‘birthday’ )

bp_activity_add( ‘$bp_member_profile_data’,’add_profile_updates_to_activity_feed’)
