Hi!
I’m using WP 3.0.1 multi-site with Buddypress 1.2.5.2.
First of all, the plugin have a minor bug to be fixed: at line 594 of bp-maps.php must be closed the comments adding a / at the end of the line.
Then, I’ve other bugs that, maybe, went fixed yet on the plugin support forum (http://dev.benoitgreant.be/bbpress/forum/buddypress-maps). But that forum no more exist 
1. reported at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/buddypress-maps/?topic_page=1&num=15#post-39374
Everytime I edit the profile the link send me to the top of the page and do nothing. May be a javascript problem?
2. reported at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/buddypress-maps/?topic_page=3&num=15#post-53565
Sometimes i’ve Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress-maps/bp-maps-templatetags.php on line 210 in the profile page.
3. reported at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/buddypress-maps/?topic_page=3&num=15#post-55594
Basically the plugin try to search the location with the xprofile-fields provided, but it don’t find anything so suggest to use the markers. Due to the 1. problem i cannot create a new marker. Also i cannot edit the map pointing a marker on it.
@grosbouff Can you re-establish the old support forum?
I think this plugin is really useful, so any help would be really appreciated 
@tubruk if you are having a problem using Adam at Hyperspatial’s functions for age (they look fine to me), then please leave a comment for him on his blog
The code you have for gender needs to be used inside a loop that’s iterating over fields, and have the correct profile fields and values set up for gender. You say you got the code from somewhere… Have you asked there about why it doesn’t work for you?
If you don’t get an answer on gender… Start a separate thread, but post a lot more information and code showing exactly how you are trying to use the code
Are you deliberately ignoring the other post Dorethy
I gave you that exact example for:
bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=business type’)
Please take a care not to make those that try and help feel as though they are wasting their time 
Thread closed! As I asked please continue in the original one you started.
@dorothysulzmann
You are now running two concurrent threads on the same subject, please don’t. Why have you not simply continued in the original thread? this practice causes confusion and wastes resources.
Did you actually try my half baked example? where did you get the example above from?
Please continue this in the original thread where my examples do work in the members loop
@bowromir if you have code to help can you post it to the thread I linked to above.
Hi Bowe
I’ve got it! On members-loop.php i’ve put:
Business Type: “
So now all if have to figure out is who to get the ‘order by’ drop down menu on Members director to pick up this Business Type field and work! Check out http://www.ineedyourskills.co.uk/members/ to see.
Cheers!
I think the code is much easier then what you came up with.. I’m currently not at my mac, but I’ll check it out in an hour or so, I should have the code somewhere
I’m using buddypress 1.2.5.2 (latest version) and wordpress 3.0.1(latest version).
What i’ve done so far: I’ve gone to ‘Profile Field Setup’ on the WordPress Dashboard under the Link ‘Buddypress’ and added the fields ‘Business Type’ with a drop down box of three options – DJs, Venue or Promoter. So when users register they choose one of these business types. I wanted these to show up on the members directory so put in to members-loop.php this code:
`<?php
//code inside the members-loop.php
$business_type= xprofile_get_field_data( “Business Type” ,bp_get_the_site_member_user_id());//fetch the text for business type
?>`
and i’ve tried:
“
Anyone have any idea where i’m going wrong?
@dorothysulzmann
Not sure I understand your statement ” can’t find anything to help”? what is you other thread about then? and if the help that you are getting in that thread isn’t working why haven’t you posted back to that thread.
We can’t magic up code for you we can help you in the right direction, we all have things like this we are trying to solve or work out sometimes it does take a bit of time to get there.

@katemgilbert
field_5 cannot be the field ID they are numeric so not sure where you have got that idea, did you simply copy an example from the codex loop page/
Read the thread I linked to, not necessarily the solution you are all after but should help. As for simply displaying a particular field it’s a relatively trivial matter and should be clear how in that thread.
@dorothysulzmann –
It’s certainly do-able using BuddyPress, but would take a fair bit of work. What’ve you provided is more like a brief for a full project / strategic consultancy, rather than a support question answerable in a thread like this.
You can look at the documentation section of this website: https://codex.buddypress.org/home/ as a starting point, although it’s doesn’t really have a basic tutorial.
You would need to investigate profile fields in depth, and writing logic to handle your different types of user.
For payments, you might be best looking at one of the “off the shelf” plugins.
@pcwriter It’s weird. I tried a proxy server, and was still able to get to the signup page by typing in the url, which leads me to believe the htaccess change isn’t taking right. Is there anything that could be interfering?
I had another anti-spam idea: Would there be a way to require a user to have an avatar? What I’ve noticed is that all the spam signups have no avatars. Wondering if making that essentially the same as required profile fields would help.
@nettantra thank you. Will be checking it out.
Hi,
You can check this plugin which I recently develop to provide ACL BuddyPress Extended Profiles:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-xprofiles-acl/
Hope you find it useful.
Regards,
NetTantra
I’m using a custom child theme, so the footer copy has been changed. At the risk of inviting more spam, here’s my signup page: http://injersey.com/join-injersey
I’ve got si-captcha, Humanity, alternate slug, htaccess tweak, and 2 required profile fields. At this point it’s just getting kind of absurd. There must be some kind of backdoor that’s letting them in. Like Matt ( @footybible ), every single one of these spam signups is registering for a sub-blog. Unlike Matt, I offer the ability to register for a town via the Group Registration Options plugin ( https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-registration-options/ ) developed by @Messenlehner. Worked pretty well until 2 weeks ago, when we started getting slammed every day at about 2am with spam signups and posts.
Success! It turns out I was much closer than I thought. I had done some extensive rearranging and adding of divs to the editfield divs, and didn’t have the do_action( ‘bp_custom_profile_edit_fields’ ) in the correct place. I also used some code from @sbrajesh that he posted at http://bpdev.pastebin.com/RLreXE7X that was intended for displaying all profile fields on the profile page.
To see (and understand) what I was trying to do, you can see it at http://phrstudents.org/register/. For anyone interested in the complete code for my registration page, with all the appropriate php tags, I’ve posted it at http://pastebin.com/XA0Uii3A. Because of the multiple loops and divs I added for styling, it’s pretty long.
Essentially, for each profile field group I want to display I start each loop with:
php if ( function_exists( ‘bp_has_profile’ ) ) : if ( bp_has_profile( ‘profile_group_id=1’ ) ) : while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group();
I change “( ‘profile_group_id=1’ )” to “( ‘profile_group_id=3’ )” or “( ‘profile_group_id=4’ )”, etc.
I end each loop with:
php endwhile;
php $fields_ids[]= bp_get_the_profile_group_field_ids();
php endwhile; endif; endif;
input type=”hidden” name=”signup_profile_field_ids” id=”signup_profile_field_ids” value=”php echo implode(“,”,$fields_ids); “
And somehow, it all works!
Actually, I’ve already added the fields to the database. And I can code the registration page myself, with a little direction. What I tried already (and this looked great, it just didn’t work) was something along the following line:
After php do_action( ‘bp_after_account_details_fields’ ) and before php do_action( ‘bp_after_signup_profile_fields’ ) :
[ I tried pasting the code, but it didn’t display. I’ve put it in a postbin at http://pastebin.com/bQxzDtc8 ]
It all looked great, was styled beautifully, and all the fields were displayed under their group. However after submitting the form, none of the entered info made it into the database. I’d post the whole register.php page code, but it is very long.
@travel-junkie I would 100% go with option 2. I have many clients who would love for people to be able to attach their CV to their profile. I do a lot of sites for actors and models and this is absolutely perfect if the actors/ models can post their CV’s to their profiles for people to download as a PDF.
One project I am working on this minute would be made SO much better with just the CV option.
I for one wouldn’t mind at all in buying 2 seperate plugins – 1 for CV’s and one for job board if at a later stage it was necessary.
If you were looking at the full job board experience as a 100 Euro plugin then why not sell just the CV component for fraction of that and then promote the full jobboard add on as a premium upgrade.
You could even give away the CV component as a taster of what can be done with job board. that way it gets hundrerds of sites using it, becoming aware of it and a good percentage of those will no doubt want to expand and buy the full jobboard as a result.
Splitting the 2 components could well be a canny marketing ploy.
People will use the CV component and then realise they soon need the upgrade.
What do you think?
I for one would love the CV component whether it’s free or a paid plugin. How easy would it be for you to create the CV component as a standalone? If you can add in the customisation we spoke about before in terms of editing fields and meta data on the CV I’ll put my name down for it now!
You will need someone to code the form and add fields in database as that is where all data is saved.
@travel-junkie Just looked at the CV creator and you know, this could be phenomenal!
The only thing I would need extra really is the ability to change the fields that appear in the CV (in the same way you can add profile fields etc in BP) That would be absolutely superb. Also the avatar doesn’t appear when you download the CV as a PDF. Is that supposed to happen? It would be great to get the avatar also.
Cheers!
If you can make the plugin customisable in terms of the CV profile fields I’ll definitely be buying a copy of this off you!

I am aware that CVs have different formats from one country to the next, so future versions will provide a way to completely customize any aspect of a CV.
This will be loosly based on the new way of generating and sorting profile fields in the BP trunk and on CV templates provided by users of JobBoardr.
Once you signed up to the test site, you can set up your own CV already and then generate a PDF file from it. The user-avatar gets automatically included as of now. The project that sidetracked me from finishing the first stable version of JobBoardr doesn’t actually need all the CV extravaganza, so a CV-rewrite will come with version 1.1.
Saying that, if you know a bit of PHP and OOP it’ll be easy to adjust the function responsible for outputting the PDF file. You’d also need to adjust the theme template for the CV, but that can be copied over to a child theme and does not involve any core-JobBoardr modifications.
What you get out of the box right now is basically an English CV (the one I used when I lived there). I am German, so I’ll provide a German CV as well. Other than that any other templates will have to be provided by users of JobBoardr.
@gregfielding https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-profile-search/activity/
Check it out mate, it’s exactly what we need!
Just need a way of hiding the form through ajax as the search form can be BIG when you have a lot of profile fields to search from.
You know like the ‘new topic’ form is hidden in the forums directory etc?
We just need this hidden in the members directory and it’s perfect. Lets you search with one or more fields selected.
Let me know what you think!
@gregfielding Totally agree there! To be able to find members by searching across multiple profile fields is really a feature that I’m sure most would love on BP. Does anyone have anything in the works?
With difficulty. I would suggest best approach is to create a new field group add a series of text fields the user ‘could’ use, ensure they are optional, user fills in what they wish and you only display those fields that return a value i.e have been completed. note: a new field group will only be editable from the user profile and would not appear on sign up page by default, if required on sign up page then add new fields to the base group.
@r-a-y Not sure if you’ll know this r-a-y but does this plugin allow me to search by multiple fields? e.g. Can I search for ‘females’ with ‘blonde’ hair etc?
I am starting work on a site where models will have profiles set up on attributes such as hair colour, eye colour, height etc and really need clients to be able to search for members matching more than one field.
Cheers.
