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).

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!!!

Hey everyone,

Does anyone have an idea how to hack the register.php? Or am I missing something? Please help!

– enables blog admins to show their BuddyPress avatar with link to BP profile page plus own xprofile fields

If plugin can also import/export Resumees (CV’s) maked with x-profile fields (with a map fields from linkedin to bp option) will be gold.

issue could only be the Email Domain setting on the Facebook application, as far as I know

That sounds like it to me. Have you checked that Greg? I don’t think it’s anything Buddypress-specific.

Andy’s version of the plugin works brilliantly for me, including custom queries – except a query for xprofile fields, haven’t figured that out yet.

Thanks justin_k. The discussion mentions this function from “Andy”:

<?php

function bp_fbconnect_modify_userdata( $userdata, $userinfo ) {

$userdata = array(

'user_pass' => wp_generate_password(),

'user_login' => $fbusername,

'display_name' => fbc_get_displayname($userinfo),

'user_url' => fbc_make_public_url($userinfo),

'user_email' => $userinfo['proxied_email']

);



$fb_bp_user_login = strtolower( str_replace( ' ', '', fbc_get_displayname($userinfo) ) );



$counter = 1;

if ( username_exists( $fb_bp_user_login ) ) {

do {

$username = $fb_bp_user_login;

$counter++;

$username = $username . $counter;

} while ( username_exists( $username ) );



$userdata['user_login'] = $username;

} else {

$userdata['user_login'] = $fb_bp_user_login;

}



return $userdata;

}

add_filter( 'fbc_insert_user_userdata', 'bp_fbconnect_modify_userdata', 10, 2 );

?>

Where should I add this? Does this use ‘firstnamelastname’ as username and check for doubles? Does it synchronize and update all the fields in wp_users, wp_usermeta and xprofile?

Usernames like this, ‘community.net/members/fb_100000441950350’, are really not acceptable imho.

Where is the query that actually stores the new user data in the database? Is it in the plugin or does the plugin send data back to WP/BP files? I also need to that data stored in mailinglist tables.

Hi r-a-y

I have tried to post specific xprofile fields with no success.
It did work but since I installed the new version of buddypress (Version 1.2.2.1) it seems to have stopped working.
http://www.gaysurfers.net/members/

I have tried the following:

<div class="item-meta"><?php bp_profile_field_data( 'field=Country' ) ?> - <?php bp_profile_field_data( 'field=Surf Spot' ) ?></div>

and also

<div class="item-meta"><?php bp_member_profile_data( 'field=Country' ) ?> - <?php bp_member_profile_data( 'field=Surf Spot' ) ?></div>

I don’t know which one to use, but anyway none of them works. Is there some more code I need to add for it to work?
Thanks

So to sum up:

• Change your signup slug
• Add some required custom profile fields (or use the hashcash trick posted at the start of this thread)
• Disable “Allow blog administrators to add new users to their blog via the Users->Add New page”
• Delete BuddyPress credit in footer.php
• Delete wp-signup.php
• Create a robots.txt file with User-agent: * Disallow: /register/ (or whatever your slug is)
• If all else fails, use CAPTHCA or preferably a simple random question (what colour is snow)

Am I wrong or missing anything?

Also… all of my SPAM registrations were coming from .info domains. I added this to my .htaccess file but I’m not sure it’s correct. I found a million examples via Google search for how to ban full domains or subdomains… but nothing about blocking an entire extension (i.e… whatever.info). Anyway, this is what I wrote:

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} \\.info$

RewriteRule .* - [F]

theres already a plugin who does that, ,you can use the plugin or check the source and adapt to your needs.
