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.

Similar sort of idea in this thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/profile-fields-questions

Could be I got the same issue here. 2.92 WordPress (single user) and latest BuddyPress installed via BuddyPress Template Pack Plugin.

With nothing disabled in BP general settings, everything enabled in component setup.

There is no “create group” in the “groups” tab. Only “My Groups” and “Invites”. Clicking the “groups” tab goes to http://www.ultimatecultureclash.com/members/cupedoll/groups/ which seems fine.

But I want forums. And it seems forums are a property of groups. So I need groups. How to create groups?

(After much confusion) I enter MANUALLY: http://ultimatecultureclash.com/groups/create/step/group-details/

This goes to /groups/create/step/group-details/images/images/bg_body.gif which looks good. The heading says “Create a Group” and there’s input fields for “Group Name” and “Group Description”.

But entering group name, group description and pressing “Create Group and Continue —->” button only reloads blog homepage and creates nothing.

Here’s more examples. “Activity” tab + “Personal” tab resolves to http://www.ultimatecultureclash.com/members/cupe3903doll/activity/just-me/ which is probably right. But “Profile” tab + “Edit profile” tab redirects back to home page.

How weird is that?

And one more thing I noticed. When tabs resolve where they should? I get logged out. But when tabs redirect to home page? I remain logged in.

I’m still on 1.1.3. In 1.1.3 xprofile only gets synchronized with wp_usermeta when the user updates his account, which means you can never count on the data being there, which makes it pointless.

Lousy synchronization between xprofile and usermeta is not a bug, it’s a conscious design feature. Why? I’ve brought this issue up many times and have never received a clear answer.

I use a custom function like this below to synchronize member data upon registration into all the different, unconnected places in the database where data is stored:

function synchro_wp_usermeta($user_id, $password, $meta) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$uid = get_userdata($user_id);

$email = $uid->user_email;



$fullname = $meta[field_1];



... whatever you need here ....



update_usermeta( $user_id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $user_id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $user_id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $user_id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id ), $user_id ) );

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_wp_usermeta', 10, 3);

Not sure if this still works in 1.2. I had posted my work-arounds under ‘FAQ: How To, Code Snippets and Solutions’, but they have been deleted. So I guess they solved the issues in 1.2?

To synch xprofile you’d need to create the fields in xprofile that you have in wp_usermeta and then do something backwards like the above function, if that hook etc. is still valid.

I’d like all the subscribers/authors/etc (aka artists) for a given blog (aka art project) to be listed at the top of the blog’s index.php page, with a few fields from the xprofile (bio, specialty, etc.). Ideally, I’d get them to echoed in a way that was easy to feed into a snazzy jquery slider gizmo.

Should be possible, Nathan, using some WP template tags combined with that code snippet I posted above.

I’d help out if you can guarantee me some free lodging in that art monastery some time in the future

@xezo that is correct. I thought he was talking about access to all profile fields for edit/delete, for which you do have access via the extra Admin bar menus created by BP for admins. Those are the ones I use all the time (fixing avatar crop screw ups, as an example)

So, from that perspective, the only use for Skeleton Key would be for additional stuff introduced by less that robust plugins, no?

@dre1080, my post was about creating an advanced search page to search members based on the profile fields. Like the original poster said, “For example you could search for members, by age, location, hobby in one search (taking these things from created fields in profile.”

You could use a Google search to do what you’re asking for.

hey, you are most welcome.

well, you will need to edit registration.php

here is my take on it.

it will list all the fields from all the profile groups,and allow users to fill them. so please beware of it.

If you want to restrict to 1 or two profile groups, change the argument from

bp_has_profile( )

In my edited code and it will work

And a little bit detail, I have removed the argument for bp_has_profile( ), so it lists all profile groups and then put then collected field ids in an array, which is passed via

hidden field ‘signup_profile_field_ids`

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).

http://emberapp.com/bowromir/images/untitled-9/sizes/o

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.
