BuddyPress.org

Hi, just took a look at your site and my first thought would be to try deactivating some plugins – I see quite a few javascript errors going on and it may be one of those is not playing nicely with your posting or something is misfiring. It’s kind of the first port of call but one I think may at least rule out some things to look into this further.

I’d also suggest you check your permlinks are saved (or resave just to be sure) and your BuddyPress pages all linked up under settings – did you do that as part of the configuration?

Hmm not sure ‘out of the box’ BuddyPress can do this you may want to look at one of the membership plugin options out there. Most of those are paid though but perhaps a good start would be to look at a few of those. Alternatively someone else may have an idea of how that can be achieved without a plugin.

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…

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.
