BuddyPress.org

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…

You’re right r-a-y. Tried it. It had no effect on Buddypress’ registration form.

Back to my previous attempt; I’m stuck at intercepting fullname input from the Buddypress registration form. Do you know how?

Based on code in another plugin I put together something based on ‘$input_data’:

function synchro_wp_usermeta($input_data) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$post_data = array();

foreach ($input_data as $varname => $varvalue) {

$post_data[$varname] = $varvalue;

}



$fullname = $post_data[fullname];

...

But I don’t know if that $input_data is a standard wp tag or something else. Also the structure of the xprofile tables is very different from the structure of the regular wp users tables, so I’m not sure if that ‘$input_data as $varname => $varvalue’ is applicable.

Where is the code that processes data input from the Buddypress registration form? I’d like to use that as example, but have no clue where it is.

Here is a plugin that “forces users to provide first and last name upon registration” and stores them in wp_usermeta.

Would this plugin be compatible with Buddypress? Looking into it now…

Hi Gerikg,

The user should have its own bbpress forum with possible several categories like, feedback, general, etc so they can post in that categories and discuss things

I’m not creating a plugin from scratch or doing any complicated manipulations on the data. I’m only trying to pre-populate fields in the RSVP form in this Event Registration plugin.

Adding the ‘echo’ didn’t fix the problem. It probably is something stupid like that.

Which code actually pulls the data from xprofile? I couldn’t make much sense of function bp_user_fullname(). The real magic apparently happens somewhere else.

Getting regular wp data works fine. If I could figure out how to consistently synchronize firstname and last name between xprofile and wp_usermeta, that would solve the problem as well.

Nobody knows ?

Thanks Jeff Sayre!

The plugin has a very messy structure. I’ve tried with $bp added to global in several functions in the plugin, both in the main file and the file with the form. Nothing has any effect.

Are there any downsides to adding $bp if it’s not strictly needed? Can you make any plugin “Buddypress ready” by just adding that $bp to global?

I did get regular wp data working with help from their forum. I had to add this to the php:

global $current_user;

get_currentuserinfo();

Does Buddypress have something like that? Anything else I can try?
