BuddyPress.org

This has also been raised in the following post: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/registration-page-has-prepoulated-full-name-field-help/

have a look in the codebase at bp_the_profile_field_name() and you’ll see the ‘get’ function that it uses.

Trawling the codebase is the best way to find functions for BuddyPress (or the site phpftwr – google a function name and it will come up in the references)

In this case your function is bp_get_the_profile_field_name()

@djpaul – did you see the last (recent) message to you about this?
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-clear-the-previous-registration-form-data-1/

It’s straightforward to do in BuddyPress – @hotsitez has already pointed you to the basic function for echoing profile field values (which is also documented in member-header.php), and I’ve told you which files you need to look at.

As a PHP coder, you should be able to walk through those files to find the appropriate points in the code to hook actions in or modify your templates. You should also be able to search the BuddyPress codebase to find profile field functions you can call — start with the one @hotsitez gave you.

You can also look on the documentation (codex) area of this site for information about the profile field loop which may help you further – and point you to how base and other profile field groups are handled.

[Edit: and, if you want to learn about the action, filtering paradigm for development, you can find introductory articles on the wordpress.org codex]

I’m pretty sure this came up recently, and the core team had been unable to replicate — @djpaul was this something you were looking at?

I am also having a problem with registration.

Every time I go to my registration page (http://www.bodyweightexerciseblog.com/register) I am returned to the homepage of my website.

Also using s2member plug in with buddypress. In Focus theme with buddy press child theme.

Your error is coming from bbPress, not BuddyPress. Please post on the bbpress.org forums for help.

@natetheaverage –

an outline solution (there are lots of areas where you’d have to work to implement it):

When a group is created, you could write a hook that creates a corresponding xprofile field group (remember to hook on delete group as well to remove the profile field group)
In the member’s profile screens, you would hide that xprofile field group if the member is not a member of the group
In a hook on Join Group, you’d want to display an additional screen that prompts for the user fields, and when that is submitted use the xprofile API to write the data to the user’s profile
I guess finally, you’d also want to modify the members loop inside the group to show that information

There’s a lot of code for you to trawl through

Nope. But when BP 1.6, you can use bbPress 2 for both group and site wide forums, and it comes with backend admin panels.

class wpdev_compose sounds like its not part of BuddyPress Core and is from a 3rd party plugin. This site only offers support for 3rd party plugins if another user helps you or the 3rd party plugin developer offers you support.

This site is mainly to help with the base install of BuddyPress.

@raminjan know that we are all unpaid volunteers helping out here, living in different time zones and have lives outside of BP and WP.

You have created many number of topics, some of which I answered and other topics were answered by others. And private messaging is turned off because others have abused it already.

BuddyPress is an opensource software, i.e., free and we try to help out as many people as we can, not just one. And when I was still a student, I recall doing my own research (Google et al) when I didn’t know the answers. So be patient and stay cool.

== The button on the activity stream for “Joe Schmoe joined . . .” is obscured by buttons ==

@timetraveler As an online visitor, activity stream looks good for Joe joining a group. I will presume you mean the activity meta seen by logged-in users i.e., the Comment, Favorite and Delete buttons. If so, open up your theme’s stylesheet and add the following at the bottom.

`ul#activity-stream div.activity-meta {
clear: left;
margin-bottom: 15px;
}`

If that doesn’t work, create a throw-away username and password and post it here. You can delete that account after the issue has been resolved.

Pretty permalinks are required for BuddyPress sites.
Settings > Permalinks and choose option other than default permalink.

I’m just getting started with BuddyPress, and I was wondering about this myself. I realize that the default WP function to display a user’s articles still works, but I’d like to display them in a BuddyPress tab. I’m on the hunt for a plugin to accomplish this. Any guidance would be welcome!

@rehaugew I see you’re using the Mingle theme. I do not know whether that theme’s been updated for the latest and beta versions of BuddyPress. That being the case, you should change to bp-default theme, clear cache and check registration process there for BP 1.5.6. Are you using Mingle also in BP 1.6beta2 install? Then change to bp-default there as well. We have to ascertain what’s the real culprit.

Did you complete the BuddyPress setup wizard in wp-admin? Including creating the pages?

For new users, you need to enable new user registrations in wp-admin settings

Frank – while I am new to BuddyPress (started it on a site today), i think you are working on similar layouts at moment that I am. The file I just finished re-working was “member-header.php” – I had added Profile Fields like Gender, Age, Etc. to display Gender for Example I used:

‘[?php bp_profile_field_data( ‘field=Gender’ );?]’

basically add the name of the Profile Field you wish to display and use the Field Title name you gave it in the format above.

Other than that its just editing CSS and adding text etc to layout. I am still working on many things – its the one area I really want to pop is the Profiles pages.

I hope it helps!

Yes.

Take a copy of ../wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/post-form.php

Put it in your themes directory using the same sub-dir structure /activity/post-form.php

Then simply comment out line 25 in the script

Quite sure that will do it for you.

Good luck.
