That worked! Thanks again

boy you guys sure are rough on a noob… ofcourse I meant 1.0.3, it was late…

Thanks Mariusooms. I will give it a try. I thought it had something to do with my server, but was not sure where.

Thanks

The only change I’m actually going to propose is this:

function bp_core_screen_general_settings_content() {

global $bp, $current_user, $bp_settings_updated, $pass_error; ?>



<?php if ( $bp_settings_updated && !$pass_error ) { ?>

<div id="message" class="updated fade">

<p><?php _e( 'Changes Saved.', 'buddypress' ) ?></p>

</div>

<?php } ?>



<?php if ( $pass_error && !$bp_settings_updated ) { ?>

<div id="message" class="error fade">

<p><?php _e( 'Your passwords did not match', 'buddypress' ) ?></p>

</div>

<?php } ?>



<form action="<?php echo $bp->loggedin_user->domain . 'settings/general' ?>" method="post" id="settings-form">

<p>

<ul>

<li><label for="email" class="settings-label"><?php _e( 'Account Email', 'buddypress' ) ?></label> <input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="<?php echo attribute_escape( $current_user->user_email ); ?>" class="settings-input" /></li>

<li><label for="pass1" class="settings-label"><?php _e( 'Change Password <span>(leave blank for no change)</span>', 'buddypress' ) ?></label> <input type="password" name="pass1" id="pass1" size="16" value="" class="settings-input small" /></li>

<li><label for="pass2" class="settings-label"><?php _e( 'Repeat Password <span>(leave blank for no change)</span>', 'buddypress' ) ?></label> <input type="password" name="pass2" id="pass2" size="16" value="" class="settings-input small" /></li>

</ul>

</p>

<p class="submit"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="<?php _e( 'Save Changes', 'buddypress' ) ?>" id="submit" class="auto"/></p>

<?php wp_nonce_field('bp_settings_general') ?>

</form>

<?php

}

If I can’t get this in core, how can I make sure these HTML changes persist after upgrades? Can I make a small plugin to do this?! I’m a real PHP n00b…

Not sure Nicholaszen. Since there’s a lot of activity going on with BuddyPress patches and MU changes, I’m going to hold off chasing any ghosts on this plugin until the next stable versions come out.

I’m keeping an eye on this daily so I’m still supporting it, but there won’t be a new version until the next versions of MU and BP come out, unless any major flaws or bugs are uncovered.

solved all my problems!

thanks.

I tried searching for the answer to the question but couldn’t find it.

The cleanest way to get separate firstname and lastname into the database seems to be to

1. split the input from Buddypress’ fullname field using xprofile_sync_wp_profile()

2. make a two or more part name in fullname required

How would I do that? Can someone please help, because this would solve a major structural problem in Buddypress imho.

I need to come up with a solution, because integration with most mailing lists depends on having firstname and lastname stored somewhere.

Alternatively I have to use fullname for firstname and create a second custom xprofile field for lastname. That solution will problably cause lots of problems further down the line.
