Thanks, looks interesting!
This looks like the exact kind of thing that I could do with.
I have a site for actors where actors can network.
So that the profiles are uniform and can be searchable, I HAVE to set many fields as required.
I don’t want people signing up with incomplete profiles as it looks bad, so I have to have required fields.
I want to now enable industry businesses like photographers etc to sign up, and they will need a business profile.
The profile can be the same fields for all business that sign up, (they can select a business type as the first drop down) but the business profiles will obviously require different fields to the actors.
I’ll need things like business name, an about us text field, web address and contact info.
Would this plugin be suitable for that?
Any guidance on how this would be possible would be great!

@boonebgorges Nice one Boone.
I’m not a developer, but I’ll gladly donate to have it put together.
I’ll open a ticket and thanks again.
Sorry to put you through all of the screencasts, but I find it so much easier than writing it all down!
Nice! Glad we figured this out! Nice work team!
Now I just need to find out why blog comments aren’t showing up in my stream!
I can definitely recreate this on 3 installs now, the latest being a vanilla install of just WP and BP
Here is what you do.
-Create a new post
-before typing any text, insert a picture and give it a caption
-you can type anything you want now and then publish the postBasically the picture has to come at the start of the post, so that the [/caption] shortcode is within the character limit of the excerpt.
If you have a post with a picture further down the post, it will be outside of the excerpt character length and you will be okay.
If you want me to make a screen cast, let me know and I’ll knock one up to show you.
As long as your picture is at the top of the post, you’ll 100% see what I mean.
Let me know dude
@boonebgorges I know what configuration is causing this but I don’t know why.
You can recreate this easily by installing a BP version previous to 1.5 (I used 1.2.10).
Alter the base ‘Name’ field to something else. I used ‘Full Name’.
Upgrade to BP 1.5 and you’ll see all of your First and Last names deleted from your DB.
This leaves only the users ‘username’ showing on their profile, set to their ‘display publicly’ name.
If you try editing the name from the front end, as soon as you click save, it reverts back to showing the username.
If you change it in the backend, by re-adding the first and last names, they then show okay, but try changing the name from the front end again and the changes you just made in the back end get deleted and the username displays publicly again, replacing the First/ Last name.
Now to fix this, you have to rename the base ‘Name’ field from your current ‘Full Name’ field back to just ‘Name’.
You can then edit the field in the front end and backend successfully and your changes will save.
You are now free to rename the base ‘Name’ field back to anything you like – again in my case ‘Full Name’ and it will all work again no probs.
It’s as if BP needs clarification when the base ‘Name’ field is anything else but ‘Name’ after an upgrade to BP 1.5.
If you have it set to ‘Full Name’ etc then it won’t play until you have renamed it back to ‘Name’ before changing it again.
I hope that’s kind of clear. I know it’s long winded!

*** So to avoid this issue, make sure your base ‘Name’ field is labelled as just ‘Name’ before upgrading to BP 1.5.
After that, you can alter it again, but if it’s anything but ‘Name’ on an upgrade, you’ll lose all of your First/ Last name data!
Hahaha, nice one Boris! I’ll test it out!
@travel-junkie Cheers Boris! Gonna have a play around on a test DB to see if I can get this to work!
