please do that !! –
with some explanation or some possibility how to get the content below that Tab or sub Tab (text , images ) the best should be some self creating custom fields form on the EDIT subnav page ( and the content on the publishes part – the similar process how profile EDIT and PUBLIC subnav Tabs works .
hmm … I am afraid that plugin does smth. else, namely automatically registering a new user to a group, but what we meant here were the registration fields from xprofile.
Actually, I figured out a way to have them displayed, although there’s a lot of css fun you’ll have afterwords
In register.php you should look for this
“
and replace with this
“
This will display all the fields, but you’ll still miss the Title of each group.
To get that displayed, you can do this:
Look for
“
and just above it place this: `
`
That should do the trick.
It’s a dirty hack from a no-programmer, so please do not criticize. As anyone can notice, no programmer / developer ever cared to offer any help with this.
Actually very annoying that no one frm the development team ever thought about it, leave alone giving a hand here …
Hope you’ll find the trick useful though
Anyone managed to come up with a solution to this?
It’s a bit lack of logic to allow fields to be set as required in the backend but never show them to the user when registering … what kind of required fields are they than?
Thank you!
I have the same problem – latest BP / WP (3.1.2) versions installed. Fact is that in the buddypress “Profile Field Setup” you are allowed to create different groups of fields and set for each field if it’s required or not.
BUT, all fields other than those from the 1st group are NOT considered in the registration process!
The email is apparently sent once the user completed only the 1 step, and it just stops after asking the user to upload a photo.
So basically, the extra group fields (no matter how “required” they might be) are fully IGNOFRED in the registration process!
Anyone please help?
This is a buggy
Thank you!
It should have been handled by something like stripslashes when redisplaying. The backslash is an escape character to prevent the ‘ being seen as part of the script syntax and tripping things up or entering characters into the DB that could be mischievous.
You don’t say what versions of things you are running but if latest you might want to enter a bug ticket on the trac system using your BP login credentials.
Hello shanebp,
This worked out great!
Thank you very much for the info.

any help on this, please?

Thanks again for the answer. But I have the following problems:
The echo displays the group members user id for each member (the actual number) But the profile field that I am trying to display is showing that of the members page I am on, not the group members.
I replaced :
‘user_id’ => bp_displayed_user_id()
with:
‘user_id’ => bp_group_member_id()
So the output I get is such:
Group Members Name (correct per my use of the group member loop)
47 ( the bp_group_member_id) (this is the correct user id, but I don’t want that displayed)
Displayed users profile field (incorrect- this should be the profile field of the Group member in the list)
Thanks!
One option is to do as @embergermedia stated. To catch everyone, you could hook in a profile edit action and check to see if all the fields you require have been completed. If they have, then you could add something in their usermeta saying they’ve completed everything. Then you could hook into bp_init, check that usermeta field, and if you don’t get the correct response, then you can redirect them to their profile, or display an error telling them they need to complete their profile. However, as both @embergermedia and @brooker said, it wouldn’t be the most user friendly way to go.
Got it – thanks for the direction.
It’s still the same answer. There is a way, but it would take code. You would need to use hooks from the AD Intergration plugin and hooks/functions from BP to handle this. The reason I said talk to the plugin author is because you might be able to request the the plugin author adds this as a feature.
I figured it’d be a BP thing, as the AD Integration plug-in is BP-agnostic and it works correctly w/ WordPress (as proven by the fact that the user accounts are populated).
In light of that, maybe I should rephrase the question to ask if there’s a way that BP could read more than shortname from the WordPress user account when creating the account profile.
That would be something to ask the authors of the AD Integration plugin, but I would suspect that you would need to use a plugin provided hook, and the write you’re own custom function to do this.
Hi,
Under profile field group i have name permanently in there. Is there a way that I can remove that field?
thank you.
This would be a great plugin. Anyone created it? Especially useful for getting people to enter location details for mapping.
I just checked with the suggested edits and it does in fact appear that my edits are not loading.
what is going on? how do I push loop edits out?
