This is a basic mysql table structure issue.

The id field is set to auto increment.
So it you really want the id to be 1, you need to flush the bp_xprofile_groups table.
But that may orphan any data you have in bp_xprofile_fields or cause mismatches with data in the
bp_xprofile_data table.

Perhaps the id field should not be an argument in xprofile_insert_field_group.

Does it really matter what the id is?

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

I can’t create a profile field for every possible group.

You can create a custom profile field by extending BP_XProfile_Field_Type.
That custom field could pull in the group names for that member and allow them to enter a name per group name.

You can filter the member name by using the filter hook in bp_member_name(), found in:
buddypress\bp-members\bp-members-template.php

How, when and why you apply that filter is up to you.

The same filter may not work for bbPress, but they probably have something equivalent.

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

Creating some custom fields won’t be enough.
afaik – you want separate and multiple ‘sub’ identities for each user.
That won’t be easy, but even so, creation of sub-identities is only part of the issue.
Parsing out which sub to use in which situation for content creation and display will be a tangle.

But take a look at group meta

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

In the activity loop, there is no such thing as $post->ID.

Try:

$item_id = bp_get_activity_secondary_item_id();
$songurls[] = get_metadata('post', $item_id, 'wpcf-song-upload', true);

But if you know it’s post meta, why not use that function?
$songurls[] = get_post_meta( $item_id, 'wpcf-song-upload', true);

And put your foreach loop after the endwhile;

Your image is broken.
Have you tried switching to a theme like WP 2013?
If the arrows go away, then you know there is an issue in your original theme.

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

I’m not aware of any existing code for that task.

Can you export the group posts from Yahoo?
Then a developer could look at the structure and probably write code to map the fields.

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

No, afaik, his name will be the same across the site.

There are probably ways to filter group member names, but it would require extensive knowledge of BP and access to your site – iow. you should hire a BP developer.

If my-theme/buddypress/members/single/index-component-profile.php
is your version of my-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile.php
then don’t use a different file name.

It’s much easier to do a template overload.

You’re probably making a mistake with single vs double quotes.
Try:

function getCustomMembersForm(){
  $str = 'This will be the start of my form.<br/>';
  $str .= 'Put "something" in quotes.<br/>';
  $str .= 'And this will be the end of my form.';
  return $str;
}

I’ll bet you’re using echo in your shortcode functions.

So their output appears before the page content is rendered.
Use return instead of echo.

If you want networking and messaging and forums – you need both BP and bbPress.

Some info re BP and forums:

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

The first argument is an integer, not a string.
groups_join_group( $group_id, $user_id = 0 )

Since you are only handling 2 specific groups, you could hardcode the $group_id.
groups_join_group( 3, $user_id );

Or you could get the id like this:
$group_id = groups_get_id( 'Teachers' );

bp = BuddyPress
bbp = bbPress

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

I think bp_has_forum_topics() only works on BP pages.
Try bbp_has_topics()

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

I’m calling it from the buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type plugin, do you think could be some filter that intercept querystring and reset it ?

I doubt it.
Where in the plugin are you calling it?
In a function?
And what is that function hooked to?
Is that hook being called on the page where you manually call the $_GET? Probably not.

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

if I print $_GET it return an empty array

Then there is nothing in $_GET. You should see $_GET variables in the browser address

if (isset($_GET['var1'])) 
    echo "OK";
else
    echo "There is no variable called 'var1' being passed.";

…

$myjob = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Job', $user_id );

if ( is_array( $myjob ) ) {

  foreach( $myjob as $job ) { 

    $search_url   = add_query_arg( array( 's' => urlencode( $job ) ), bp_get_members_directory_permalink() );
    echo '<br/><div class="my_job"><a href="' . esc_url( $search_url ) . '" rel="nofollow">' . $job . '</a></div>';
  } 
}
else { 
    $search_url   = add_query_arg( array( 's' => urlencode( $myjob ) ), bp_get_members_directory_permalink() );
    echo '<br/><div class="my_job"><a href="' . esc_url( $search_url ) . '" rel="nofollow">' . $myjob . '</a></div>';
}

<?php 
$country = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=Country' );
if ( $country != false ) {
    
    $href = site_url() . '/members/?s=' . $country . '&members_search_submit=Search';

    echo '<a href="' . $href . '">' . $country . '</a>';
}
?>

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

Try:
$href = site_url() . '/members/?s=' . bp_member_profile_data( 'field=Country' ) . '&members_search_submit=Search';

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

Probably a javascript conflict. Check your browser console.

In general, it’s best to use wp_editor instead of ckeditor.

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

a:3:{i:0;s:7:”English”;i:1;s:4:”Math”;i:2;s:10:”Substitute”;}
is a serialized array.

BuddyPress will unserialize profile data via
xprofile_get_field_data( $field, $user_id = 0, $multi_format = 'array' )
and return an array.

But if you want to do this in the context of a search query, you probably want to use wildcards in the mysql statement, for example: %math%.
This can be tricky to implement if you haven’t done it before.

There is already a good plugin that does member searches based on profile field values:
