Good idea sounds like a great plugin gap as I don’t think there is one unfortunately that fits ‘goals’ per say. You have got the Achievements App though http://achievementsapp.wordpress.com/about/ – perhaps that in some ways does what you are looking for? It’s not exactly what you are saying though.

Many thanks @Hugo.

I’d approach this a different way –

something like:
`
$match_ids = $wpdb->get_var( “SELECT user_id FROM wp_bp_xprofile_data WHERE field_id = [whatever the field_id is for State] AND value = [whatever value you want to find] “);
`

$match_ids will be a simple array.
So loop thru the array and create a comma separated string out of the ids.
Then pass the string to bp_has_members() using ‘include’

something like
`
//$get_these_members is the id string you created
$get_these_members = ‘include=’ . substr($get_these_members, 0, -1); //trim the last comma

if ( bp_has_members( $get_these_members ) )
`

That way you could search for any value on any profile field.
Your approach might work, but… yikes.

@bojan85 tried to work with this plugin aswell but seems non functional..anybody involved in developing for bp who knows if this is even possible to do? Seems like a very basic function that should be included…

try:

OMG, this is almost what i need do you already have it working @davidveldt ?

what i need is:

you have the registrationform, the only things i want visible is Name and Email. and then i would like to have a selectbox with 2 options: Company or Student.

When you register as a company and then login you go to the company profile side. if you are a student then you go to the student profile side. The 2 profile have different profile groups to fill out.

how can i do this?

You can use the admin bar by adding:
define(‘BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR’, true);to the wp-config,
above where it says:
“That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging.”

For added customization install the ‘Custom Admin Bar’ plugin. This will give you full control over the Admin bar including the BuddyPress features.

Thanks @nilssvz
Your advice to add: define(‘BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR’, true); to the wp-config file along with a customizing plugin such as ‘Custom Admin Bar’. Have made it really easy to customize my admin bar and retain all the needed functionality of Buddypress and S2Member. Awesome!

@valuser thanks, good spot missed that lack of php tags completely assumed they would be added

@monchibord you need to add php tags around those first two lines – sorry I made the assumption they would get added.

@valuser sounds as though you have styles conflicting if you are calling BP default styles then you need to kill the float:left on avatars so add a new class to that avatar ? ‘group-creator’ or better still add that as an id to the paragraph tag or whatever tag wraps the text and anchor and amongst other styles add ` #group-creator img.avatar {float: none;}` but you may need to play around a bit to find the right rules to override.

I don’t think you can set the online interval just for that widget.

You can adjust the online interval for ‘everything’ by hacking a core file – not recommended.
But it’s a small hack – so as long as you remember it (lol) when you update BP

In plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-classes, ~Line 245
`
if ( ‘online’ == $type )
$sql = “AND DATE_ADD( um.meta_value, INTERVAL 5 MINUTE ) >= UTC_TIMESTAMP()”;
`

change the interval to whatever you want.

@websitevala

Please stick to the other thread as this is all related to the main question you have asked and just gets confusing if you start to create multiple posts.

Get your primary requirements of sidebars/widgets working then move on from there.

Closing this thread.

@monchibord

That’s a slightly different question than the opening post suggested, but you can try something like this (doubtless there are better approaches)

`
// Somewhere before the groups loop ‘while’
<?php
global $groups_template;
$group_detail = $groups_template;
?>
// In your group loop li element somewhere you can do

Created By: <a href="group->creator_id) ?>”> $group_detail->group->creator_id , ‘width’ => 80, ‘height’ =>80))?>

`
I’ll leave you to work out how to fetch the members name

edit// for completeness I’ll add – although it was really a lesson for the class – the name
`group->creator_id) ?>`

It’s actually a useful little snippet and could do with being turned into a function to use in groups loop and single group screens

Please do not post multiple times on a given issue it does not get you a faster response and is bad form

Continue in this thread please:

Closed!

Your developer is possibly correct – can he/she not confirm that? and offer a solution? Asking here is less likely to produce a useful response unless someone has direct experience of this plugin combination – your developer however is better placed to pin down the cause.

I guess you can do a re-direct based on logged in status away from any top level url but that would probably have consequences. You could wrap the index/home page in an if/else saying if not logged in show normal home page content else show something else for logged in users.

Read through this thread as it appears similar to your requirements:
