BuddyPress.org

I have the same question as well. I have created a couple more field groups in Buddypress profile fields section on the dash. Alas, none but the base group shows up in registration. Any help on how to get around this would be fantastic!

Did this ever get off the ground?

*puzzled* I contributed to some and have used various approaches of my own all post dating 1.1 or the transition to the 1.2 stream, but yes guess some are a little complicated but then BP isn’t that simple a thing to code for requiring as it does a little more than basic knowledge.

A search of the forum would have thrown up a few posts on this subject that have this and alternative examples.

Sweet!

Probably the most efficient way is to do something like this (not beautiful to put in a template file, but functional and lean):

I strongly feel using this documentation you can achieve what you want.
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/

And this should help you with manipulating navigation items in group , renaming them or removing them. (At midway of page)

And this for custom fields (Not sure how much this will help for groups)

Have you tested the solution I’ve mentioned? Just for your interest: I set up a naked wp 3.1. (single) with buddypress 1.2.8, BuddyPress xProfiles ACL, Capability Manager and WP Roles at Registration – works like a charm and requires no coding by hand.

PS: I often think about switching to single installation of wp, your combination of plugins would be the only one working, as described by the author of the stuff in my links. So I don’t have to think about switching again.

Maybe you should try this solution: works for wp3.1 multisite, also there are hints when working with single-site. I have it working on my multisite (but with the old code example).
The first link shows you how to make a selection for roles at signup: http://cleverness.org/2011/01/27/updated-buddypress-user-roles-code/
The second link is for the setup of which profilegroups (fieldgroups) are shown on certain roles: http://cleverness.org/2010/10/13/user-types-in-buddypress-assign-xprofile-groups/

Give it a try, it works for me.

bp_get_the_profile_field_input_name() just gets you what they have imputed in the name. As easily read by the statement.

Why are you trying to input in the file? Just go to your admin section of buddypress, and add “Country” as a new text box for the form.

Unless your trying to put it in core fields?

P.S, for future, check this out: Rich has a Great Directory for other Action Hooks, just like above: http://etivite.com/groups/buddypress/hooks/search/component/?c=bp-core

I am also having a similar error and Yes @djpaul it is the same Lines. I am also using custom fields but I have 3 groups, the group having the problem has only checkboxes and is a required field.

BuddyPress users are essentially WP users there’s no separation and in this and other respects BP is a plugin running under WP and thus using aspects of WP such as users/signups

Buddypress has extended profiles that can be set in the dashboard under the BP menu there you can add new fields to the base group (base group fields are displayed on the initial signup page) or create new filed groups for anything you like and those will be displayed on the users profile screens and accessed under ‘edit profile’ by the user to complete.

As an admin you are very limited as to what you can set on a users profile, basically being restricted to the capabilities under the WP dashboard ‘users’ and ‘add users’

By default, all profile fields which you’ve put into the first (default) profile field group will appear on the registration template.

Did you proceed with it? I need the same thing but i’m unfortunately not good at coding

Just creating new profile page category from my understanding??? Just to go your buddypress admin page under profile setup and create new fields there, no need to hook anything.

P.S, why on your activity page is the header content below the avatar? Go into your theme’s CSS file and remove

`div#item-header div#item-header-content {
float:left;
}`

To clear things up, it should look a-lot nicer.

It’s a syntax error so you need to examine the line it’s referring to and check and correct the syntax php met an unexpected double quote mark and seems to be suggesting there ought to have been an ) closing parentheses. this is an extremely old post you have dragged up and I would expect this plugin/code to necessarily work given the version updates to BP since this was written.

btw editing core files in this manner is not advised really, if it’s a filter it ought to be written to a functions.php file living in a child theme

Hello, Im pretty new to php and i pasted the custom profile code into my bp-xprofile-filters.php file, and it killed my site, i just get the error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘”‘, expecting ‘)’ in /home/richied/plainprofile.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-filters.php on line 158

i tried deleting and re-installing buddypress but im still getting it! site url is: plainprofile.com

Any help would be HUGELY appreciated!!!!

I am definitely interested in this too. Taking it a step further, it would be nice to make users complete a full profile for the site after logging in through Facebook. Right now the WP-FB-autoconnect works great, creates the user and logs them in – but then it brings them back to the homepage without filling out the rest of their profile.

When you create an account in BP without logging in through facebook, the BP registration page asks users to complete all the required and optional fields in the profile – but I haven’t found a way to do this with Facebook, it just gives them a user name and logs them in. So I think what would need to happen is that after the facebook connect, the registration process isn’t complete – it points them back to the BP registration page (or something like it) where they can finish entering other required and optional fields.

Any ideas on how this might work?

A workaround might be that on the *first* login only, the user is redirected to the edit profile page, and on subsequent logins they’re redirected to the homepage and logged in normally.
