BuddyPress.org

A quick google reveals several bulk-import scripts and plugins for WordPress/MU. Have a look at http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/import-users-plugin-for-wordpress/.

Regarding bulk import of xprofile data: Manjor Kumar had done some BuddyPress-specific import plugins for a very early version, but I can’t vouch for if they still work:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bulk-import-members-users/

and

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-import-for-buddypress-all-fields/

Confirmed; please report this as bug on http://trac.buddypress.org, using your username and password from this site. It affects both the Profile Fields UI, both backend and frontend (missing a stripslashes call).

@gian-ava: For your second question, check out this post https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/faq-how-to-code-snippets-and-solutions#post-13243

I haven’t tried this but it would suggest you could do something like:

<?php if ( bp_has_profile('profile_group_id=9') || bp_has_profile('profile_group_id=7') ) : ?>

<?php while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>

<div id="widget1">

<?php if (bp_the_profile_group() == "9") : ?>

// Do whatever you want with group 9

<?php endif; ?>

<?php if (bp_the_profile_group() == "7") : ?>

// Do whatever you want with group 7

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<? endwhile; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

The only part I’m not sure about is if you need the first call to bp_the_profile_group() on the second line (after the start of the while loop).

It’s not been made yet.. but it would be great if someone made it I think you should have a box on your profile page. I’ve made an example of how it could look an a profile page (the initial badge creation box like on facebook).

Colors are a bit bright, but it should give you an idea.. If you user clicks on “edit this badge” he should be able to choose which profile fields he who like to show.. I hope this helps

I took another look at this and I think I have a potential solution.

You can filter xprofile_get_field_data and make sure that the return value is not a blank or some other non value. The downside of this method is I think you would need to then set the returned string to a known value that indicates it is not populated. The only reason I say this is ideally, you probably want to make bp_custom_get_member_list_xprofile_data return FALSE if the string is blank but I don’t think you can do this within the filter.

As for your second issue, a really hallf-assed way to do it is with two loops. I’m sure there’s a more elegant way but I’ve never written elegant code.

That said, I don’t see a way to dump out two groups in one loop but I’m not very familiar with this code.

Yes, but your custom_xprofile call just does an “echo”. echo will always return something. Something might be a string or it might be a blank but it will always return something. You can’t test a function return value if you aren’t returning a value. Inside custom_xprofile, you need a “return TRUE” or something like that to be able ot use it in a boolean logic check that the if does.

I think you need to look at what @DJPaul said. If your function always returns true then you’re always going to output something, even if that something is blank.

function custom_xprofile( $field ) {

echo bp_custom_get_member_list_xprofile_data( $field );

}

That echo will always return something. You need to dig into bp_custom_get_member_list_xprofile_data and see if there’s a way to determine if $field exists.

Nah, you can leave semi-colons off the end of lines when it’s used like that. Good spot though. It’s because your function just retrieves the value from the database, and if it’s blank, then it’s blank. Problem is, you are printing the <h3> regardless.

You’re missing a semi-colon after the custom_xprofile call. That will likely bugger up PHP and might be the source of your issue.

One thing that the code doesn’t do is turning off auto links for url’s.

I want members to fill some fields with their personal social profiles links: Facebook, Twitter, Personal Homepage.

I’d like to link it from the words: “Facebook”, “Twitter”, “Personal Homepage”, without having http://facebook.com/user, ect.

Now, I tried something like this within the profile fields loop:

<li><a href="<?php echo bp_the_profile_field_value() ?>"><?php bp_the_profile_field_name() ?></a></li>

But of course it messes everything up because the function “bp_the_profile_field_value()” generates a <a href="..."> itself.

Is there a workaround for this?

To answer your second question, no, there’s no plugin available to add custom fields to groups (that I’m aware of).

Please refrain from bumping similar threads.

All replies should be made in the above thread.

I’d like to remove auto links for profile fields. I retrieve their values and dispaly it on a sidebar, but don’t find any use in linking any word to nothing.

That is really an annoying feauture that should be turned on and off at will.

The above code doesn’t seem to work anymore with the latest version of BP.

Is there a way to turn auto links off?

This is a ‘Field Group’ or fieldset for the profile. It is not a way to create extra fields for groups.

Just rename those fields in the Profile Field Setup in wp-adminb

Hi jozik,

I’m dealing with a big problem regarding Buddypress multlingual: no matter what I do, I can’t figure out how to make the BP Registration page multilingual, since the Registration/ Sign Up Fields are dynamic I guess, I don’t know how to translate them from EN to IT once I set them up??? Also because at the moment my Italian version is a mixture of the following fields to name just the first 2 that can’t be translated:

Dettagli Account (obbligatorio) –> is fine

Indirizzo Email (obbligatorio) –> is fine

Scegli una Password (obbligatorio) –> is fine

Conferma Password (obbligatorio) –> is fine

Dettagli Profilo –> is fine

Name (obbligatorio) –> here its starts since Name is set in “general settings”

Last Name (obbligatorio) –> and Last Name was added by me in “profile field setup”

…

.

.

Do you have an idea how to solve this problem? Or am I missing something? Please help!

Thanks & Grazie!!!
