BuddyPress.org

To get you started create three new profile fields for users to complete, probably radio button choices, the users will select one of these at signup? make the selection obligatory.

Now in the members profile loop you will use a simple check to determine which field has been returned or selected by the user and display whatever particular elements you want for that selection.

The code used here is not the type you want, in a profile loop it’s easier as you can run checks using something like:
if(bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=account type’ ) == ‘special’) :
‘ Do stuff based on the type above’;

maybe you could write full code?
here are several topics on this question, but as I see, those who have done it do not want to share their result.
@janismo please take care not to come across as treating this support forum as though it was a service with some sort of obligation on the part of the members to write code for people

If you look around you will see that many of the experienced BP developers spend a great deal of their time helping out non coders with a great deal of code.

Not including this thread where I didn’t really end up having to help to any real degree I have responded on two other threads today about profile fields, along with other threads I have read or participated in I know that the answers you seek are available. Sometimes you have to piece together bits of the jigsaw to start with, then show us how far you have got and the problems you might be having and we’ll help out further; of course also someone may come along and just write what you want

I only know what I do about the profile fields and manipulating them from needing to do so myself then reading a few posts but other than that I sat down and started coding and worked it out the hard way.

hi @jarvo1980 ,
could you please tell whether is it possible to use your approach/code to make 3 types of account and each of them would lead to different custom profile fields?
probably, this is exactly what you want to do, maybe you could write full code?

thank you!

P.S. there are several topics on this question, but as I see, those who have done it do not want to share their result.
one of them:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/can-you-run-multiple-profile-loops-in-singleprofile-loop-php/

If someone knows how to, please share. I’m sure, a lot of people would love to use it.

Edit// just saw your last post- not sure how that slipped past so you are using xprofile field data and so yes your first example won’t work I think you’re on the right track now and it is easier if in a members loop. There was a post earlier today discussing this. Have a search back about 20 odd posts

Then we would need to know the mechanism you’re using to pass that variable around I guess.

When you say “select account type” what exactly do you mean, is this a snippet of custom code you have written or are you using the custom profile fields to create new profile fields? If new profile fields ( the best way I would have thought ) then you are taking the wrong approach to fetching those fields back.

Thank you very much for responding so fast!

The company wants to develop with different profiles, for example for people in human resources, technology, etc. for different areas of the company.
I’m looking at the function you gave me. My question was if suddenly you had already somewhat developed because i have little experience in PHP.

Thank you very much.

I am also looking for info on passing user_meta to the profile page. Let’s keep in touch.

Thanks @nit3watch

Will test it out tonight. Did you ever release a plugin where you can add more profile fields to groups such as address, website, etc?

Hello Roger, at the company where I work are asking me to do a development similar to your questions …. and you develop something?, suddenly you develop a plugin?

Thank you very much!!!

I’m using:

Si Capthca
BuddyPress Humanity Plugin
BP Signup Xtra (with required birthdate and checkbox)
Extra Profile Fields that require text input.
Bad Behavior with HTTP:BL enabled…

I’ve not noticed any spam logins yet…. knock on wood/cross fingers.

Writing from ignorance but should the Field Name start with the capital letter P?

`bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=Province’ )`

Not to hijack, but I saw this and thought someone might have some suggestions for adding profile updates to the activity feed. (I’ve got custom fields, and want a notification to show up in the feed, when updated).

@rossagrant –

It’s not possible with the current profile implementation to have structured fields made up of several component parts (they’d be useful though!).

As a workaround – you could group them together in their own profile group – and then it would require some rework of the edit / view profile templates to present the profile as you want it.

Okay, so what if I’m looking to do the exact opposite? What if I want to specify which fields are always clickable? I’d like to be have members’ locations always clickable.

Any thoughts?

Thanks and best wishes,
Kristen

1 solution: Add profile fields for them to enter their blog details, create your directory template with a custom members loop that checks for the blog fields and displays them. This may be inefficient for a sparse databse with lots of members

p.s. your profile pages exist, so it’s just the menu / nav bar that’s missing: e.g. http://lumosnorge.no/members/kristin/profile

Once you’ve fixed that problem – your site looks good – you should add your site to the gallery group on here

@lumosnorge

Hej Christine – the code is in the default theme, in the file: bp-default/members/single/home.php

Did you create a child theme, or edit your changes directly over the default theme?

Note: you shouldn’t edit the default theme directly – as you will run into problems when you upgrade BuddyPress.

Have a search in Docs on here for details of creating a child theme.

Anyway, the section of code (from the default theme) that creates the nav bar is:
`

`

It goes between the item-header and item-body blocks.

You need Harry and Hermione helping you write the code!

Oh, that explains the trouble. Any idea where I can get that code? I’m just a beginner at this and don’t know much about coding yet, but I’m eager to learn.
