Hello there,
Thank you for such a wonderful contribution and such a supportive and informative community. This is the first time I’ve actually needed to use the forum to ask a question myself, haha.
Anyway, I am hung up on one thing. Seems so simple, but I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.
Upon registration, my new user will select a menu option from a dropdown menu generated with a custom profile field from built-in X-profile. I have done this.
Based on the selection made from this dropdown menu, I would like to display a particular profile group for the user to edit, and only load that particular profile group for that user. This is where I’m hung up.
It is simple to hardcode one visible profile in for the edit page. But to do it dynamically, based on the selection made is really tripping me up.
As an example:
People that choose “producer” from the dropdown menu at registration would only see “profile_group_id=2” when they edit their profiles, which has relevant fields for them that are irrelevant to other users.People that choose “musician” would only see “profile_group_id=3” on the edit profile page. Does that make sense.
I fear that I’m just making it too complicated at this point. I’ve tried several approaches, this is my latest:

I’ve coded myself into oblivion at this point. And the above is a hail mary based on some stuff I’ve seen on these very awesome forums, but I’m not sure if I even know what kind of hooks I need to be getting here. Ugh.
I sincerely appreciate any guidance.
cheers!
Hi I have created some custom profile fields in BP, which I am trying to grab with PHP to send to Mixpanel in the ‘header.php’ (default theme) I have tried the bp_member_profile_data(‘field=SiteName’); but it looks like I’m calling it to early as it is completely empty. Do I have to declare something before this, am I even on the right track?
A very common practice on websites today, like Ning, with 90,000 communities, is to show only a few profile fields at registration, and allow/remind people to fill in the rest later. This keeps the registering user from being overwhelmed and intimidate with too many profile fields.
Is this possible in settings, or does this required code work?
Apparently, out of the box, BuddyPress automatically turns some words and phrases in the fields of a user’s profile into links.
I found this topic http://buddypress.org/support/topic/remove-automatic-links-in-profile/ and followed @boonebgorges instruction to use this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/ to disable the links.
I added my field ID number (Bio field with ID 3) to the top of the plugin like this:
`$no_link_fields = array( // Enter the field ID of any field that you want to appear as plain, non-clickable text. Don’t forget to separate with commas.
‘Skype ID ‘ ,
‘Phone’ ,
‘IM’ ,
‘3’
);`
but that didn’t fix my problem. Has anyone fixed this issue in their user profile fields?
Thanks
I want to provide segregated x-profile fields but I danno where to paste the code. Tell me please what file I should use? Functions.php?
I am trying to set up a site using Buddypress and MagicMembers. The registration page works fine with all of the MagicMembers custom fields and subscription, and those fields appear in the User Profile in the WP Backend. Problem I have come up with is that on the frontend when you try to view a member’s public profile it reverts to Buddypress and the fields are not showing. I can edit a public profile and add all the info again, but that is redundant as members should only need to enter the info once, i.e. on the registration.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Lee
