well, 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?
here’s my workaround for this problem
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/multiple-profile-group-fields-in-registration/?_wpnonce=98e520cdd5#post-98202
as no buddypress gurus EVER botherd to give a feedback on this, and left everyone here in the dark for more than 1 year
the 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 (

I´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.

Hi 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
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.
Best,

I need this xprofile fields import for dropdown menu too, I have many fields to import with big list of options , but this solution above looks like less work by editing it in buddypress one by one – , does someone knows better and a little bit more painless ?

Is it impossible then to get rid of this links?

@hnla
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!
