Leave tab active but hide password fields

Nice snippet @ericreynolds007 , it works very well ! Did you managed to get to find a code for Group members directory ? Would be nice to show fields IF are present , otherwise hide

I would make a wizard, that is, splitting a long form in a few more user-friendly steps. I would create the custom fields you need and make them required in the registration, and then add some javascript to show / hide the fields as the user goes through the steps… that way you will not need to touch the backend.

I need to be able to show / Hide XProfile groups based on select value during the registration phase. I’m a newbie to all this so could someone please help on how accomplish this.

Is that possible with buddypress? Has this plugin been created?

@natetheaverage –

an outline solution (there are lots of areas where you’d have to work to implement it):

When a group is created, you could write a hook that creates a corresponding xprofile field group (remember to hook on delete group as well to remove the profile field group)
In the member’s profile screens, you would hide that xprofile field group if the member is not a member of the group
In a hook on Join Group, you’d want to display an additional screen that prompts for the user fields, and when that is submitted use the xprofile API to write the data to the user’s profile
I guess finally, you’d also want to modify the members loop inside the group to show that information

There’s a lot of code for you to trawl through

Many thanks for the tip. I presume adding the line to the functions.php of a child theme would have the same effect.

Crazily enough the plugin still works perfectly. Haven’t tried the linking to social networking bit yet. But otherwise all good. Separate words can be links with square brackets, and you can exclude fields altogether.

I would suggest creating a new profile field group for this sort of field, and put some logic into the appropriate theme template to not show fields in that group.

I’d be interested in this as well.

Very timely question. I came here to ask the exact same thing. (Originally posted here: http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/how-to-hide-specific-buddypress-profile-fields – they suggested I ask here)

My apologies

@mysmallbizu
Please don’t hijack another thread with a different problem. It would be better start a new topic!

Is there a way to isolate the notifications from the other profile settings?

I’m using amember V4 to manage registration and subscriptions everything is working correctly except for 1 thing… The “settings” menu in the subscribers user profile goes to a blank white page “404” is the error I get.
for example…

The other issue is that because amember is handling the login and registration/ username and password etc. I’d only like the user to be able to edit their notifications from this menu… Not their U and P: is there a way to do this?

Until then couldn’t you use https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-profile-privacy/home/

In BP 1.6, we’ve added profile field visibility (privacy); ‘anyone’, ‘logged in users’, ‘my friends’. Try it out on testbp.org when you edit your profile. Not quite what you’ve asked for, but it should open up a new range of possibilities for plugin authors to filter things further.

No such thing sadly; you could ensure the fields are in a specific group of their own and then wrap that in a if is_admin check so only admins can read, if you are creating a theme for general use and wouldn’t know the field names then you may need to write a function of some description with dashboard option settings to manage things or check what BP plugins are available in the ‘privacy’ genre and see if they offer any greater control.

😆 oh if you had a programmer you should have thrown it his way first- anyway it’s an easy enough problem to deal with one way or another.

You’ll need to do something like wrap the custom xprofile loop section in a check for a specific field name ‘birthdate’ and do something like ‘if not’ ‘birthdate’ go ahead and display field item or display if is_admin if you want to be able to see users data as a site admin.

To remove a field you could do:
`

<tr>

`
in the profile loop; equally if you wanted to remove a complete field group you can copy the approach seen in the file for ensuring that the base group is not shown `if ( 1 != bp_get_the_profile_group_id() ) ` adding an OR followed by a check on the group id to hide.
