xsn0wThe plugin @Pisanojm suggested might work if we can add the custom profile loop fields to it.
Jenny BeaumontI just found this: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-edit-user-profiles/
Jenny BeaumontI’m looking for something similar – need to be able to update user profiles as an admin from backend…let me know if you find anything! 
Brajesh Singh @all, great going, nice to see the movement
@mercime, thanks
@djpaul,
just updated the xprofile template tags to cutdown the query for select/multiselect fields. Please have a look here https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/3233
Brajesh SinghI am interested in improving the xprofile fields to allow developers to add new field types. currently we have a limited set of fields(say multiselect/checkbox etc). An example extension could be allowing to add an specializationn of select box with Country drop down which will save numerous times for many site owners. I am not sure if that needs to go in the core plugin, but certainly we need to add some action/filters in the core to make that happen. Also, currently, xprofile needs to improve the queries for fetching select field(My benchmark shows one query per item in the dropdown list of a field). So, if we have a field with 100 items in select menu on the edit profile/register page, It will do 100+ queries for that single field.
If improving xprofile fields is still on the card, I will be very happy to work on it.
latinosamorirThanks!!!
I have not tried this yet but soon will. I’ve been waiting for a year for this solution. I wonder why the BP gurus dropped the ball on this.
ARHistoryHub1. Go to members/single/profile/edit.php in your theme.
2. Find and delete this line `
`
3. Paste this `
` after each instance of this line ` `.
And it’s a similar sort of process for the register.php – found in the registration folder in your theme.
Sloppy, but oh well.
vbsql7Thanks for the help so far.
Knowing that the extra tags were coming back, I tried to take the quick fix and strip them like this:
`
`
…but I still get the same result — data wrapped in P tags.
I spent some time trying to learn about the xprofile functions but I did not find a clear example that I could make work.
Would I would like to find a loop that gives me rather tight control of what is happening.
Perhaps like this (pseudo code):
`
$user = bp_get_profile($user_id);
for ($i = 0;$user.fields.count;$i++) {
$field = $user.fields($i);
echo $field->name;
echo $field->data;
}
`
Paul Wong-Gibbs`
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘wpautop’ );
`
would do it but also remove the paragraph tags from all other fields
Paul Wong-GibbsThanks!
BoweYou can map profile fields from Facebook to BuddyPress with WP-FB-Autoconnect with custom code. It is indeed on the roadmap!
javiervdWill do, hopefully you guys already fixed it
Paul Wong-GibbsCould you report as a bug on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/? We may have already fixed it in our development version of BuddyPress, but you reporting the issue would prompt us to check. You can use your username and password from this site. Thanks!
Paul Wong-GibbsUnfortunately, you can’t do this out of the box. It’s possible with some code, but I wonder if anyone’s done a plugin for it; I’m sure someone will link if there is
José M. VillarI use https://buddypress.org/community/groups/wp-fb-autoconnect/ premium version. Its developer has automatic profile fields population in his roadmap, but with no release date unfortunately
SlushmanThanks Paul! I took a break to finish the other parts of the plugins and the rest of that project, but now I’m back working on this part again. Unfortunately, I can’t make head or tails of that function. I’ve tried sending a variable array to that function based on the parameters it gives on line 584, but it never adds the field. It appears xprofile_insert_field() requires a the group_field_id too, which I’m also trying to create a new Field Group, but I can’t find a way to get the ID # of the group I’m creating, and it doesn’t appear the group is created either. Is there a tutorial or a working plugin that does the same thing I can see HOW they did it?
candy2012@ivoss – God bless you for posting that link! (http://pastebin.com/RLreXE7X)
I lost days on this already!
These lines (aroung 150) are CRUCIAL for getting the values posted to the database (basically that `$fields_ids[]` function
`
<input type="hidden" name="signup_profile_field_ids" id="signup_profile_field_ids" value="” />`
candy2012well, that (velomash) will not help much unfortunatelly .. nor will the required fields be cheked or the information for all group fields saved to the database!
Buddypress is so damn buggy on this one, wonder if they really thought of the purpose of implementing those fileds without proper connection to teh registration form; who the h* (sorry!) will go to fill in the fields if not requested upon registration?
candy2012here’s my workaround for this problem
as no buddypress gurus EVER botherd to give a feedback on this, and left everyone here in the dark for more than 1 year
candy2012the above still sucks of course (or rather the whole registration process for buddypress sucks!), anyway, the above code will unfortunatelly NOT validate the fields! So it would be possible for a user to register without filling those fields in …
Yeah, you tell me how happy I was as I realized that!
1 more day lost with this s*, but eventually found a workaround (I am sure it’s not the perfect solution, but at least it’s SOMETHING!)
So in order to have the required fields really checked, please add this to your header:
`
$(document).ready(function() {
$(“#signup_form”).validate();
});
`
where signup_form is the id of your form (

webrgrHi I also am interested in this type of development, country – state using drop-down lists still have not found anything about agardeseria any help that can be done about it.
thanks beforehand

Andres RicheroI´m looking for the same kind of thing as Natasha but just different environment (university).
Has anybody gone further on a real case (solution) and any piece of code that might be picked up as a starter.
Thanks a lot.
Andrés
Andres RicheroHi everybody. Has anypne made any advance on this? I´d love to make something as the example that Rlwpub2 presents but for a university, so the first set of options would be teacher / student and then particular profile options for each of them.
Thanks in advance for any help you may supply.
Andrés
