BuddyPress.org

Thanks for the additional clues DJPaul!

In the latest attempt I was going back to my first approach, trying to catch the input straight from the form, so that has to run on initial user registration, not on activation.

Or is user_register not used in Buddypress at all? Is there a wpmu or bp equivalent I could try? Should I use wpmu_create_user? According to this blog post:

the do_action for wpmu_new_user is directly at the bottom of wpmu_create_user in the wp-includes/wpmu-functions.php the wpmu_create_user gets sent the username password and email and checks if the username or email exists, if not create the new user in the database and assign a user_id to the return, also assigning capabilities and level … this happens on *all* levels of registration and is the perfect hook point to add them into the database

the do_action do_action( ‘wpmu_new_user’, $user_id ); so you get the immediate user_id soon as it’s created which you can use in your table

Apparantly this is like a flowchart of registration events in wpmu (wp-includes/wpmu-default-filters.php):

add_filter ( 'wpmu_validate_user_signup', 'signup_nonce_check' );

add_action ( 'init', 'maybe_add_existing_user_to_blog' );

add_filter ( 'xmlrpc_methods', 'attach_wpmu_xmlrpc' );

add_filter ( 'wp_authenticate_user', 'wordpressmu_authenticate_siteadmin', 10, 2 );

add_action ( 'wpmu_new_user', 'newuser_notify_siteadmin' );

add_action ( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'add_new_user_to_blog', 10, 3 );

add_action ( 'sanitize_user', 'strtolower_usernames', 10, 3 );

Should I focus on these wpmu action hooks instead of regular wp hook? Does bp have a list like this somewhere?

I couldn’t figure out how to serialize that $meta data and extract the fullname from it, so I abandoned the approach hooking into wpmu_activate_user for now. Also when I put in the $user_id and $password arguments I got the error messages about missing arguments. wtf?!

I think this bit of code grabs the input from the registration form:

$fields = BP_XProfile_Field::get_signup_fields();



if ( $fields ) {

foreach ( $fields as $field ) {



$value = $_POST['field_' . $field->id];

fullname is the input from field_1, but I don’t know how to finish the php to get to $fullname = … . The two latest attempts above did not work.

I have to give up for now. Deadline at my day job coming up…

Thank you, DJPaul. I’m starting to get a clue lol. Just one question – Say I use “Kubrick” for my home/blog theme. How do I get a login/password field in the sidebar? I noticed it’s not one of the widgets. Do I have to grab the code from the admin bar on top and insert it manually into the sidebar?

Empty?

Someone can help me with this please? Would be higly appreciated, buddypress looks nice just need some little directions.

arezki, there is a Users to CSV plugin. Not sure if it also exports data from Buddypress’ xprofile table, but perhaps you could expand it.

Getting data from the database is relatively simple. You could just write your own SQL queries as well, if you can figure out how and where the data is stored, which is not at all straightforward in the wp-wpmu-bp patchwork.

My original question was about something else; how does data move from registration form to the database?

I’m trying to identify what bit of code “picks up” the input from the ‘* Name’ field, id/name = “field_1”. Is it this function?:

function xprofile_extract_signup_meta( $user_id, $meta ) {

// Extract signup meta fields to fill out profile

$field_ids = $meta['xprofile_field_ids'];

$field_ids = explode( ',', $field_ids );



// Loop through each bit of profile data and save it to profile.

for ( $i = 0; $i < count($field_ids); $i++ ) {

if ( empty( $field_ids[$i] ) ) continue;



$field_value = $meta["field_{$field_ids[$i]}"];



$field 				 = new BP_XProfile_ProfileData();

$field->user_id      = $user_id;

$field->value        = $field_value;

$field->field_id     = $field_ids[$i];

$field->last_updated = time();



$field->save();

}



update_usermeta( $user_id, 'last_activity', time() );

}

For a plugin I need SOMETHING HERE = $fullname. The SOMETHING HERE should be the input value for field_1 from the registration form.

I get lost in the php in the array stuff. Please help if anyone can give any more clues!

Any idea how to acchive above ?

Some pointers or direction would be nice, im still digging into buddypress but it, is, a bit complicated to get the results that are not “out of the box”

Hey

Sorry I haven’t been in here for a while as clients just keep givng me new work

Don’t try and follow that code I posted above as that was specific to the particular plugin I was using and which was messing with the BuddyPress Ajax

From looooong hard experience this issue WILL be another plugin messing with your BuddyPress Ajax so as much of a pain as it is disabling ALL your plugins do it and then repost if you are still habing this issue.

Thanks, Ray.

So if I’d like to have a two-column site, would I be able to activate the default Kubrick theme and use it as the blog portion (front page) of my social network? I’d like to have my blog on the front page just like ReadWritePoem. Or would I need to use a theme made for Buddypress like the ‘home’ theme?

Thank you sir! Not sure I follow the idea. By deleting, do you mean the entire buddypress and WP? Hum! that would take 2 years out of my life. I am sort of willing to let go of the alphabetical listing… but I don;t recall having moved files around. Standard install.

Thanks r-a-y.

I can’t make much sense of most of that code. Does function bp_core_signup_show_user_form take the input from the form? Or does it only output the form? I guess the latter.

I think the code that actually processes the input is in bp_xprofile/bp-xprofile-classes.php, Class BP_XProfile_ProfileData etc. Or bp-xprofile-signup.php?

Back to the other thread to see if it gets me any further…
