maybe you could write full code?
here are several topics on this question, but as I see, those who have done it do not want to share their result.
@janismo please take care not to come across as treating this support forum as though it was a service with some sort of obligation on the part of the members to write code for people
If you look around you will see that many of the experienced BP developers spend a great deal of their time helping out non coders with a great deal of code.
Not including this thread where I didn’t really end up having to help to any real degree I have responded on two other threads today about profile fields, along with other threads I have read or participated in I know that the answers you seek are available. Sometimes you have to piece together bits of the jigsaw to start with, then show us how far you have got and the problems you might be having and we’ll help out further; of course also someone may come along and just write what you want
I only know what I do about the profile fields and manipulating them from needing to do so myself then reading a few posts but other than that I sat down and started coding and worked it out the hard way.
Edit// just saw your last post- not sure how that slipped past
so you are using xprofile field data and so yes your first example won’t work I think you’re on the right track now and it is easier if in a members loop. There was a post earlier today discussing this. Have a search back about 20 odd postsThen we would need to know the mechanism you’re using to pass that variable around I guess.
When you say “select account type” what exactly do you mean, is this a snippet of custom code you have written or are you using the custom profile fields to create new profile fields? If new profile fields ( the best way I would have thought ) then you are taking the wrong approach to fetching those fields back.
Cool
sorry couldn’t resist, was going to place a Borrat quote as well but they’re all too rude! – I’ll remove the hot link later.
When you say ‘left these blank’ then that can be checked by doing:
`
if (bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=instructor’ )) {
if (bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=instructor’ ) == ‘ Heiny’ )
‘do stuff’;
if (bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=instructor’ ) == ‘none’)
‘default selection has been saved’;
}else{
‘User has not visited profile and made a selection or simply re saved profile’;
}`
However I may not be following what you are trying to do here fully. If you have used radio options then you can set one option as default i.e the ‘None’ which would be selected if profile simply re-saved, if the member hasn’t visited their profile then nothing should have been saved.
Think that work, at least it works running it quickly on a test install but I may have overlooked something crucialWith the markup please change the ‘div’ to paragraph tags, divs are a semantically null element their purpose is to aggregate and group structure into logical divisions, they must never be used to contain bare naked cdata.
Try and avoid using inline styling generally it’s a bad thing to style inline, add IDs or classes to the elements to use as styling hooks.
‘Strong’ is an a semantic element that is intended to confer special emphasis to a word or phrase if just needing to draw attention to a word then adding typographic conventions to it would be acceptable e.g <b> to embolden the characters, however in this instance you are probably better off using spans as a means of separating a section of the text to add distinct styling to.
I think that the complexities of working on this site hosted on Automattics servers is not as easy as would be one of our own sites. There are a plans to do a fair bit of work as to the hold up on that I can’t say, I suggest that we badger @Boone in the Ninja group
Have to admit I have said a few times that spamming a site like this especially when it showcases the very app we all work with is far far from satisfactory and something really does need to be done about it.
You might have to restore things by going into the DB and setting values back to what they should be for that user.
wp_usermeta table is a start, look for the user and ensure that wp_capabilities is :
a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;}
and the wp_user_level field is:
10
You may also need to go into the wp_sitemeta table and find the reference there to the site_admins in that row is where the site is told how many admin and who it must I guess have at least a initial value of:
a:1:{i:0;s:5:”admin”;}
As with all things of this nature do NOT do any work before backing up your DB, I cannot vouch for the detail I have shown or that it won’t cause irreversible harm
