BuddyPress.org

Thanks for your response! okay maybe I am stating this wrong. I have a list of entries showing various user ids as one of the fields. In the next field I simply want to show are these entries from a friend or not so that I can filter them to only show me entries from my friends. Does that make sense. I thought the purpose of the friends_check_friendships function was to compare to user ids to see if their is a relationship between them and return ‘true’ or ‘false’? Also, are the user ids in buddypress friendships the same user ids in wordpress users without buddypress? For instance the two I am comparing are user_id=1 and user_id=2, so in the function, it should result in friends_check_friendships(1,2) = true right?

It’s my theme and I code WordPress themes for like 5 years now but I don’t see myself as a Developer it’s more a hobby 🙂

I’m solid at HTML-CSS and can read PHP when I see it happen but I can’t write PHP it out of the box.

This error shows up when I try to hide a complete xProfile-group-ID or just an unique xProfile-field-ID from the loop.

This is what I did.
Inside: my-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php
I found the start of the loop

<?php if ( bp_has_profile() ) : ?>
....

My first thought was, maybe there are default options here to control the output of which ID’s will be visible so I started the search how the bp_has_profile() was build and looked into plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-template.php and found this at line 150:

....

$defaults = array(
	'user_id'             => bp_displayed_user_id(),
	'profile_group_id'    => false,
	'hide_empty_groups'   => true,
	'hide_empty_fields'   => $hide_empty_fields_default,
	'fetch_fields'        => true,
	'fetch_field_data'    => true,
	'fetch_visibility_level' => $fetch_visibility_level_default,
	'exclude_groups'      => false, // Comma-separated list of profile field group IDs to exclude
	'exclude_fields'      => false  // Comma-separated list of profile field IDs to exclude
);

This looks very familiar to bbPress so my first thoughts was lets try to add one of those Array’s to the loop and overwrite the default value.
Just like this.

<?php if ( bp_has_profile( array ( 'exclude_groups' => 1 ) ) ) : ?>
...

This works perfect, it hides all xProfile-fields from the first Base primary Tab (back-end). Just like I wanted it because I didn’t want all the fields to show up front-end, I’ve got a few xProfile-fields that I use for user-customization of the profile-page. Each user can add color-codes to change the default menu-color and add background-images to their profile-page to make each profile a little more unique.
Those field-ID’s are just urls or color-codes and don’t have to be visable to the public, thats why I try to hide them front-end.

ok thank you. Ill keep playing with it and deactivating plugins ect. Jetpack has given issues with my theme before so ill see if that fixes it, or ill just wait till my theme dev rolls out the Buddypress support and see if the problems still exist.

When I go to the Members pages ect there is nothing on the page are there supposed to be short codes there to display the correct information when someone goes to that page?

Thank you again

I add the coode in post 1 to twentytwelve
I create a page in WordPress and call it ‘my-members’
I view the page
is_page() returns ‘1’
I install and activate buddypress
I ‘Associate a WordPress Page with each BuddyPress component directory.’ and set members pointing at ‘my members’
I view the page
is_page() now returns null

I don’t know about you, but to me this seems like a bug in buddypress

Okay if I understand correct this Query isn’t safe and the $ID is just thrown (unprepared) in the query.

Can I do something to make it more safe or is this something that the BuddyPress Plugin Developers would have to upgrade, since the error is caused by the BP plugin.

– I’ve turned off all PHP warnings like the first paragraph says so.
