I installed the new BuddyPress and started customizing. Was excited until I realized that the profiles don’t support WYSIWYG editors, image uploads, etc.

BUMMER. So I’m not able to use BuddyPress at this time. I’m just building profiles with custom post types, and using USP Pro to have a form that registers a user and creates the profile. This gives me what I needed.

If BuddyPress features are enhanced down the road, I’ll take another look.

I’m finally back on this – have installed the new BuddyPress.

Have a problem: there are no WYSIWYG editors as option profile fields. I’m trying to find a solution to this – have you seen any?

I also need to be able to use if and then statements so profile fields that are not filled out don’t show in the template.

Just purchased the book on theming BP, but if you have any pointers on the above two items, that would rock. Thanks!

I’m also trying to figure this one out. Need to have file upload and WYSIWYG editor functionality in the extended profile.

Hey, did anyone get this working? I too need a WYSIWYG editor for the text areas in the BuddyPress profiles. Can’t live without that.

Henry – I see your notes above, but a little hazy on where to put that in my edit.php file. Would you be able to spell it out more?

Basically, my edit.php file now shows this:

<?php while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); ?>

			<div<?php bp_field_css_class( 'editfield' ); ?>>

				<?php
				$field_type = bp_xprofile_create_field_type( bp_get_the_profile_field_type() );
				$field_type->edit_field_html();

				do_action( 'bp_custom_profile_edit_fields_pre_visibility' );
				?>

				<?php if ( bp_current_user_can( 'bp_xprofile_change_field_visibility' ) ) : ?>
					<p class="field-visibility-settings-toggle" id="field-visibility-settings-toggle-<?php bp_the_profile_field_id() ?>">
						<?php printf( __( 'This field can be seen by: <span class="current-visibility-level">%s</span>', 'buddypress' ), bp_get_the_profile_field_visibility_level_label() ) ?> <a href="#" class="visibility-toggle-link"><?php _e( 'Change', 'buddypress' ); ?></a>
					</p>

					<div class="field-visibility-settings" id="field-visibility-settings-<?php bp_the_profile_field_id() ?>">
						<fieldset>
							<legend><?php _e( 'Who can see this field?', 'buddypress' ) ?></legend>

							<?php bp_profile_visibility_radio_buttons() ?>

						</fieldset>
						<a class="field-visibility-settings-close" href="#"><?php _e( 'Close', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>
					</div>
				<?php else : ?>
					<div class="field-visibility-settings-notoggle" id="field-visibility-settings-toggle-<?php bp_the_profile_field_id() ?>">
						<?php printf( __( 'This field can be seen by: <span class="current-visibility-level">%s</span>', 'buddypress' ), bp_get_the_profile_field_visibility_level_label() ) ?>
					</div>
				<?php endif ?>

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

				<p class="description"><?php bp_the_profile_field_description(); ?></p>
			</div>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

Nice man, thanks for that. I’ll look out for the extended profile component, and make sure it’s activated.

I appreciate your time!

Anyone on this? I purchased S2 member and User Roles pro in hopes to do public profiles, but that was a waste of money. So it looks like BuddyPress is in fact the way for me to go, but I don’t want to dive in unless profile pages can be heavily customized, down to the last pixel.

Thanks for any help.

Okay…thanks for the timeline link. I had looked at all of that trying to find an answer before posting.

So will there be a clean upgrade path from 1.9.2 to 2.x? I don’t want to have a messy database and tons of work to change properly to the new release and get rid of the old.

[theatereleven]

Copy that. I’ll start tonight and see what unfolds. Thanks man.

[theatereleven]

Oh I see. And the BuddyPress codex tells me what I need to know?

[theatereleven]

Thanks! The book for sale on Amazon?

I’d love to just call in the exact BuddyPress components I want to use. Is that possible? For theming, I’m a heavy custom post types and ACF guy – I like to be very specific in where everything is placed.

Hoping BuddyPress allows this.

Again, thanks for the response.

[theatereleven]

Sweet man…sounds like this is the way to go.

I’ll check it out and post back on progress if this is still open in a couple weeks.

I appreciate the info!

[theatereleven]

Thanks man.

What I mean by “their own url” is simply: http://samplesite.com/tom-jones. That type of thing.

Regarding the membership plugin, is there one out there that plays nicely with BuddyPress?

Responsive…I’m not using a theme. I want to style from scratch. That’s how I do all WP sites. Does BuddyPress allow this?
