@boonebgorges
Any chance this could be added to Custom Profile Filters?

[@gregfielding Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

As a work-around, I wonder if I could use this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-xprofiles-acl/ to assign roles based on the profile field answer.

Then I could more easily show different sidebars depending on roles.

Not the cleanest way to do it. Has anyone else had trouble with checkboxes?

@pcwriter @johnjamesjacoby
Yup. Bug is definitely still there. Nice find!

[@gregfielding Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

The politest of bumps…

[@gregfielding Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Looks much cleaner, but still isn’t working. I tried using a radio button and that didn’t work either.

What I’m trying to do should be simple

If you are a professional, you get one sidebar. If you are a civilian, you get another. And I’ve got a checkbox on the registration form.

Thanks for all of your help so far you guys…

‘if($type_member == ‘Yes’)…`

Either way, even if I create a second function, It isn’t recognizing the profile field.

This seems fishy to me. Is $type_member really the way to call a profile field entry? Or could it be a checkbox issue?

[@gregfielding Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

@pcwriter – replacing “Yes” with “1” didn’t work – was that what you meant?

@nahummadrid – yes, that works.

[@gregfielding Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Thanks @nahummadrid

I think it’s closer but still not working right. It only shows “Some other Sidebar”.

Here’s my code:

`//CHECK IF THE ACCT IS CERTAIN ACCT TYPE

function My_Function ($user_id) {
global $bp;
$type_member = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘Real Estate Industry Professional’, $user_id );
if($type_member == ‘Yes’) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}`

I wonder if the issue is that I’m using a checkbox, with the option of “Yes”…

[@gregfielding Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Trying to call the loggedin_user_id, but doing to wrong…

`loggedin_user->id) && bp_get_profile_field_data(‘field=783’) === “Yes”) : ?>
sample code
`

Here’s the code I’m trying to use in my sidebar:

@onyx808
Did you ever figure this out? I’m trying to do the same thing…

[@gregfielding Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Here’s the article… http://yoast.com/wordpress-rel-author-rel-me

[@gregfielding Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Here’s an article by Yoast where we explains how to add rel=”me” to standard WP profiles. Any thoughts on how we could incorporate this into BP Profiles?

I’m assuming it could be as simple as a short snip of code that adds the attribute to the profile field, but maybe it’s more complicated…

[@gregfielding Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Thanks patrick…

[@gregfielding Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Playing with this more, it looks like there are 2 parts to making this work. First, we need rel=”author” attributes on all of the links that go to the profile pages. entry.php, single.php, etc. Second, there should be a link from the profile page to a member’s google profile, with a rel=”me” attribute.

Has anyone tried using the farbtastic color picker with buddypress?

Brajesh,
I used your extra snip to change the plugin to affect the container div. Works perfectly.

[@gregfielding Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

I had taken the short snip of code from this plugin https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-profile-as-homepage/ and I put this in my functions.php:

`function bp_profile_homepage()
{
global $bp;
if(is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_front_page())
{
wp_redirect( $bp->root_domain . ‘/’ . $bp->activity->slug );
}
}
function logout_redirection()
{
global $bp;
$redirect = $bp->root_domain;
wp_logout_url( $redirect );
}
add_action(‘wp’,’bp_profile_homepage’);
add_action(‘wp_logout’,’logout_redirection’);`

That redirects users to site.com/activity

[@gregfielding Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Works. Thanks Boone!

[@gregfielding Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Probably should be an option to delete the background image.
Any chance of adding a color picker option?

[@gregfielding Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Brajesh built a plugin for this. It works great if anyone else is interested:

Show BuddyPress community(sitewide) activity on User Profile

[@gregfielding Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

@katemgilbert

It’s not that the profiles are broken, but that the activity and @mention permalinks for prior events aren’t updated. New activity will have the correct, new link, while prior activity links will be broken.

I’ll let you know if I have any more luck with this!

Mine is working and growing well: http://housingstorm.com

[@gregfielding Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Yes, I am.
