BuddyPress.org

I used before only bbpress forum but I decided to add also buddypress. I have old bbpress user profile custom fields that I created.

How to make they works on buddypress user profiles?

I don’t want to use default buddypress fields creator because I want to display some extra stuff like icons and extra text based on selected value, and default profile fields creator doesn’t offer this.

Here is code that I used:

// Display on User Edit Page
add_action("bbp_user_edit_after_contact", "edit_gender_field");
function edit_gender_field()
{
    // a random selection of genders
    $genders = array("Male", "Female");
    // selected gender, if any
    $user_gender = bbp_get_displayed_user_field('u_gender');
    ?>
    <label for="gender"><?php _e('Gender'); ?></label>
    <select name="gender" id="gender">
        <option value="">Select your gender</option>
        <?php foreach ($genders as $gender) : ?>
            <option <?php selected($user_gender, $gender); ?>><?php echo esc_attr($gender); ?></option>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
    </select>
    <?php
}

// Save when updating
// Our profile
add_action("personal_options_update", "save_gender_value");
// Other users' profiles
add_action("edit_user_profile_update", "save_gender_value");

function save_gender_value($user_id)
{
    // exclude profile.php/user-edit update
    if (is_admin()) return;
    // update preference
    if (isset($_POST['gender']) && $_POST['gender']) {
        return update_user_meta($user_id, "u_gender", sanitize_text_field($_POST['gender']));
    } else {
        return delete_user_meta($user_id, "u_gender");
    }
}

// Display on User Profile Page
add_action("bbp_user_profile_gender", "display_gender_value");

function display_gender_value()
{
    // selected gender, if any
    $user_gender = bbp_get_displayed_user_field('u_gender');
    // making sure user has set their gender first
    if (!trim($user_gender)) return;
    // all good
    if ($user_gender == 'Male') {
        return printf('Some stuff to display if user is %s', esc_attr($user_gender));
    }
    if ($user_gender == 'Female') {
        return printf('Some stuff to display if user is %s', esc_attr($user_gender));
    }
}

I guess that I should change action personal_options_update. I found in web something like that xprofile_data_before_save but it doesn’t work.

Also I think that I should change bbp_get_displayed_user_field. I changed to xprofile_get_field_data but it doesn’t work too.

Maybe I’m doing something wrong. Please help me if you know how to make it work.

When I go to my notifications in my profile, I click on a notification. But then it just takes me to the main support page with the list of topics.

It doesn’t take me to the topic I received a notification about…

Also, is it possible to get the same kind of dropdown I see in the bbPress and WordPress support forums, with links to:

Topics Started
Replied Created
etc
etc

https://bbpress.org/forums/

It would be really helpful to be able to link to those areas.

Thanks

I installed bbpress and buddypress fine with the latest updates. However there are a few issues with them.

1. BuddyPress group forums are still listed in main forum page https://www.thosecrazyvegans.net/forum I would like users to be able to create groups, but I want to be able to disable them and remove the existing ones from the main bbpress forum. How to do this?

2. When goind to one of the links or sub forums or whatever you call them on the forum page like News category for example, https://www.thosecrazyvegans.net/forums/news/ nothing is in there. Where are my forums gone to? It was just working awhile ago.

I use Pro theme from http://www.theme.co All plugins are updated. Thanks.

Hello,

We need advanced BBPress development and customization on a very short timetable and I have tried to search Google for BBPress experts and found only a few.

Is there a BBPress development forum or a list of recognized BBPress developers that I can contact for a lucrative project opportunity?

Hello,

I am currently using Buddypress in addition to s2member.
The user has to log in using s2member and give a whole bunch of personal information.
They need to log in using s2member for certain reasons, one of which is another area where this information is required and used.

However, all the information from the s2member registration is visible in their profile.
I really do not want this.

Is there a way to make it so they still login using s2member (site-wide, including buddypress and bbpress areas), but have the profiles not use all the registration fields from s2member?

Thanks.
