Yes! And he made me to a lucky man. 😉 Special thanks to @imath and @henrywright for your help and support. It’s working as expected now.

Best!

[Philipp]

Thanks! Yes I do use BP 2.2.

I just used another Browser and cleared the cache. Nothing changed.

[Philipp]

For some its NULL and for others bool(false).

[Philipp]

🙂 Sorry, I got you wrong. It simply displays nothing. It’s blank.

[Philipp]

I set up two types (‘kw’ & ‘max’) so what i want to achieve is that the echo $type; prints ‘kw’ or ‘max’ depending on what the user is.

[Philipp]

Hi @ all,

still it’s not working. Also if I echo bp_get_member_type( bp_get_member_user_id() );.
Here’s my code again to show that I’m in the loop:

<?php do_action( 'bp_before_directory_members_list' ); ?>

	<ul id="members-list" class="item-list" role="main">

	<?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?>

		<?php 
		$user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();
		$type = bp_get_member_type( $user_id );
		?>

I also tried it with global $bp; and global $wpdb; but without success.

BTW the code by @imath is working great.

[Philipp]

Hi and thanks for your answers.

@henrywright: If I echo bp_get_member_user_id() it returns the correct ID for each user. And yes, I’m in the members-loop.

@shanebp: It accepts both with ” and without.

Best regards,

Philipp

Thanks for your reply. It’s absolutely weird and I wasn’t able to find the fix. Might this happen if the function is loaded more then once?

Maybe you’re able to reproduce what I did. If it’s working with someone else it might be another issue with my install. But in general it’s working fine if I hardcode the ID. That’s why I’m confused.

Best,

Philipp

I’m using BP since <1.0 – So for a long time, now.
I also was frustrated from the problem, that I always had to say “Hi Joshua-Felix Mustermann”, but I found several ways to solve this at those places, I just want to say Hi to the first name:

Somehow you’ll have to get the full name and cut it between the names like this:

$fullname = bp_core_get_user_displayname( $user_id );
list($fname, $lname) = explode(' ', $fullname,2);

E.g. I built a Plugin which just takes a look who is logged in, explodes the name and outputs the first name for the short code [name].

So this discussion will never stop and there are easy ways to resolve it. BTW I edited the registration field name to say “Vor- und Nachname” (Pre- and Surname) and it just works perfect.

Best regards,

Philipp

@sarah_lena

I spend a lot of time to find a fix for that. So if you still have problems do the following:
1.) Download the “avatars” folder and delete all bpfull-XXxXX.jpg pictures and reupload it
2.) Take a look here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4092
@boonebgorges gave the comment with the workaround (Thanks for this!)…

So this is the code to replace with in bp-core-avatars.php, line 211:
`// Check for current avatar
foreach( $avatar_files as $key => $value ) {
if ( strpos ( $value, $avatar_size )!== false ) {
$avatar_url = $avatar_folder_url . ‘/’ . $avatar_files[$key];
break;
}
}
`

For me there are no more problems now… It would be great if the BuddyPress-Team could get this into the next release…

Best!

[Philipp]

Sorry for coming up with this again – But I have no idear how to fix this!

[Philipp]

It seems that it’s not generating the 35x35px avatars for all users?! Thats so strange!

[Philipp]

Thank you for the reply @karmatosed !
I do use the latest version of Salutation. But I already asked the developer and he’s sure that it has nothing to do with the theme?!

[Philipp]

I use this PlugIn: http://bp-tutorials.de/2010/09/private-buddypress

It’s not updated since a long time but it still works fine for me…

[Philipp]

Same problem here… Instead of using the -bpfull.jpg it loads bp-full-16×16.jpg and resizes it by css to 80×80… ?!

[Philipp]

Some more ideas?!

[Philipp]

Hi Paul!
Thanks, but the code isn’t working. If I use the code above as a plugin I’m able to use all WP Tables from both installations. So e.g. I have access from both pages on the same articles,…
But with the BP tables nothing happens. Maybe there is another way I could go to reach my goal. Some ideas?!

[Philipp]

I would like to add the following:

function table_prefix_switch() {
global $wpdb;
$options = $wpdb->options; //Save the site 2 options table
$wpdb->set_prefix(‘wp_’); //The prefix to site 1
$wpdb->options = $options; //Put the options table back
}

add_action(‘init’, ‘table_prefix_switch’);

Maybe this could help me to hack it a little bit?!

UPDATE: It’s just using the tables of WordPress – Not of Buddypress! Why?!

[Philipp]

@aljuk Another 6 hours of work and sill no solution. I tried exactly what you said. And I also tried it on my development installation – There it’s working like a charm. I don’t have an idear what to do… ;(
I use the latest versions of bp and wp. On my testdrive I use the same plugins. I also checked another theme.
All this work just to hide ONE profile field.
Do you have another idear?

Thanks a lot!

Philipp

[Philipp]

@aljuk Thanks a lot for you answer. But I also tried that and I logged out as admin and signed in as a normal user. Still the same.
Another idear?

Thanks a lot for the link. I’ll take a look to it!

All the best!

Hi and sorry for the second post. But I’m trying to find out since one week why the BP Profile Privacy PlugIn isn’t working for me.
If I activate it and set a field (e.g. birthdate) to “users only” – nothing happens. There are also no settings for the users in the frontend of buddypress. So there’s something wrong? Any idear what to try to fix it?

I’m looking forward – Hopefully for an answer!

Philipp

[Philipp]

It is in the fieldgroup “ID1”.

[Philipp]

I activated it and made my settings but nothing happens. E.g. I said “Birthday” just for “User” but it’s still visible. There are also no settings in the frontend if I use “Let user decide”.
I already deleted all fields with “bp_profile_privacy” in the database and activated the plugin again. But it’s still the same… No idear!?

Thanks a lot!

[Philipp]

I just tried BP Profile Privacy. It’s not working with the latest BP release, isn’t it!?
So maybe another idear?

[Philipp]

Thanks for the answers. But I just want to hide one of the profile fields from public….
But you could also help me, if you tell me this:

Is it possible to convert a date (e.g. Birthday 12.07.1987) to an “age” “23”?! That would solve the Problem also.
I just don’t want that anyone is able to see the birthdate of my users…

Thanks a lot and all the best!
