Nope, I don’t think so. I was thinking you could remove the ‘profile_group_id=1’ arg from bp_has_profile but that doesn’t seem to allow the registration page to show more groups. I guess it appears that the only “required” fields for registration are the required ones in the Base group.

Might be worth opening a ticket on this one to see if that is the expect behaviour. Alternatively, ping R-a-y or DJPaul and see if they know.

No worries. The code I gave should display everything except group 3 & 4. Sorry, I think I said it backwards in the previous post.

That said, even without the code, I’m only getting group 1 showing up on the registration page so I’m not really sure what’s going on in register.php now.

Well, you should be able to create pretty much everything you need in your theme’s functions.php file.

First you need to decide at what point you want to populate the fields. Find a hook in the code to attach to by looking for do_action(‘some_action_hook_name’) calls. In your functions.php file, make a new function and call something like:

add_action('some_action_hook_name','my_nifty_auto_pop_function');

Then create your nifty_auto_pop_function that fills in the xprofile fields you want to populate.

Look in the bp-xprofile directory for all of the different files/functions to help fill in and read profile fields.

OK, now I’m scratching my head.

When I create a second group, even if I tag the fields in the second group as “required”, they don’t show up on the register page (the bp-default version). The second group only shows up on the user’s profile page where they can edit the fields. They are tagged as “required” but nothing seems to force the user to fill them out.

I’m confused now as to what you’re seeing and/or trying to do.

OK. I’m thinking you can do something like this. Find this part of the file in register.php:

<?php /***** Extra Profile Details ******/ ?>



<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) : ?>

<div class="register-section" id="profile-details-section">



<h4><?php _e( 'Profile Details', 'buddypress' ) ?></h4>



<?php /* Use the profile field loop to render input fields for the 'base' profile field group */ ?>

<?php if ( function_exists( 'bp_has_profile' ) ) : if ( bp_has_profile( 'profile_group_id=1' ) ) : while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>



<?php while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); ?>

At this point, add in a line like:

if( (bp_the_profile_group != "3") || (bp_the_profile_group != "4") ) :

Then go down to this part of the file:

<?php endwhile; ?>



<input type="hidden" name="signup_profile_field_ids" id="signup_profile_field_ids" value="<?php bp_the_profile_group_field_ids() ?>" />



<?php endwhile; endif; endif; ?>



</div><!-- #profile-details-section -->

Before the first endwhile line, insert this:

<?php endif; ?>

I *think* that should spit out groups 3 & 4 (assuming you have groups 3 & 4 defined in your profile groups). You might need to add in group “1” also to get the Base. The only part I’m not sure about right now is if the number need to be in double quotes or just bare. So it might be:

if( (bp_the_profile_group != 3) || (bp_the_profile_group != 4) ) :

I think.

I agree with @dennis_h,

Gigya has some great (stable) plugins it would be nice to see this adjusted for BP. It sort of works. It will get them logged in, but its setup for WP so everything goes to the WP profile pages and not BP. I would say moding this would be ,much easier than try to make a stable version from scratch.

If this plugin would let you map FB profile info into xprofile fields, it would be exceedingly useful.

If it’s on registration, work with a child theme as described in this thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/adding-some-text-to-the-signup-form

Then just prepopulate the fields (assuming it’s static info for all registrants) using standard forms HTML stuff.

If it’s dynamic info, well, same first step, but after that, I’m out of my depth!

You would probably have to do something like:

if( bp_the_profile_group != "3" || bp_the_profile_group != "4" ) {

//display the profile stuff in register.php

}

You should be able to just toss that check near the top of that while loop and then remember your closing brace at the bottom.

Basically, check your register.php main loop and only show the groups you want to show.

You’re looking for the while loop after the bp_is_active( ‘xprofile’ ) call.

Within the loop, you can filter out groups by doing a simple if check using if (bp_the_profile_group() == "group number") where group number is the number of the group you want to show.
