I think to do this correctly, your loop will need a few more logic checks and error traps in the event that all of the info under a tab may be totally empty, or that some of the fields are empty and others are not. This might not be a problem if all of the fields are required, but you’ll need to modify the idea to taste. Example would be taking…

<?php if ( bp_field_has_data() ) : ?> …and displaying something if the field actually is empty. Same with <?php if ( bp_profile_group_has_fields() ) : ?>

I’d also check around the web for a lightweight JavaScript tab library, or do a quick Google for jQuery tabs and use the jQuery library that comes bundled with WP, and then follow the examples. I know there’s a few that just wrap the tabbed content in a container div and use an H3 or some other logical element as the clickable “tab.”

Otherwise the code above should be sufficient to output the profile data into tables, you just need to find the engine to make your tabs go.

For the benefit of anyone who finds this post via Google, you can view the current Roadmap here: https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/

I figured it out, somehow:

http://paste2.org/p/546483 (dirty)

works

or maybe something with unserialize&stripslashes?

I found this in reference to the code mentioned above:

* xprofile_format_profile_field()<br />

955   *<br />

956   * Formats a profile field according to its type. [ TODO: Should really be moved to filters ]<br />

957   *<br />

958   * @package BuddyPress Core<br />

959   * @param $field_type The type of field: datebox, selectbox, textbox etc<br />

960   * @param $field_value The actual value<br />

961   * @uses bp_format_time() Formats a time value based on the WordPress date format setting<br />

962   * @return $field_value The formatted value<br />

963   */<br />

964  function xprofile_format_profile_field( $field_type, $field_value ) {<br />

965      if ( !isset($field_value) || empty( $field_value ) )<br />

966          return false;<br />

967<br />

968      $field_value = bp_unserialize_profile_field( $field_value );<br />

969<br />

970      if ( 'datebox' == $field_type ) {<br />

971          $field_value = bp_format_time( $field_value, true );<br />

972      } else {<br />

973          $content = $field_value;<br />

974          $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);<br />

975          $field_value = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);<br />

976      }<br />

977<br />

978      return stripslashes( stripslashes( $field_value ) );<br />

979  }

and this

function bp_unserialize_profile_field( $value ) {

529 }

This works great on single field entries, but for checkboxes it outputs stuff like

a:3:{i:0;s:19:”Beschaffung/Einkauf”;i:1;s:26:”Marketing & -kommunikation”;i:2;s:20:”Strategie/Innovation”;}

where as in the sidebar (random member) it comes through just fine.

How can I fix this?

thanks

the random profile data function does some magic like this:

How can I apply that to James’ code above to fix the output?

Not yet, but this is on the roadmap for probably 1.3.

There’s a plugin in the WP repository to favorite posts (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-favorite-posts/). The favorites are stored in the database so they can be retrieved with the user id for the profile. I agree this concept should be expanded to other components (groups, blogs) in BP. I plan to create a custom post type and use this plugin (possibly modified) to show favorites of that post-type on the profile (e.g. favorite bars). For example, Tastykitchen.com could use to track favorite recipes as recipes are just posts with custom fields.

This functionality is needed and if it doesn’t exist when I get to that stage of my project, I’ll add it and shsre. The more people think of WP/BP as a CMS, the more the need for these types of functionalities becomes apparent.

Thanks for the tip.

Bug which I think has been fixed. They’ll need to ‘edit’ their profile after registrations and mysteriously things will appear…

Probably because you need to fill them in as a user first. You will see them on the edit profile screen.

I’m most in need of a way to import contacts into a member’s profile. While it would be nice for them to not have to fill in all fields again, initially I don’t plan on having all those fields on my site. The one field that matters is the friend list (or address book).

http://bp-dev.org/plugins/invite-friends/

http://sourceforge.net/projects/freshmeat_openinviter/

In other words, If you would preface #2 with a friend import function, and you would move #2 to #1, I’m on board.

I find the growl/spotlight style searching annoying — that said, predictive suggestions are nice. It would be ideal to set the weight of results, so that chosen links float to the top (even if they arent keyterm relevant).

As far as machine readable pages, I think a mobilepress style module to output your chosen spec would do just fine. Getting the data in is #1 though.

I can offer design, process modeling, testing, documentation and $.

Still waiting on your Achievements upgrade too..

@member11 – rather than enclosing your website URL in brackets (and making your users do the same) you’d be better off specifying the website URL field in the config file as @r-a-y suggests, so that it’s not linked to the search facility:

Open up the custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress.php file and in the $no_link_fields array (starting on line 14) add in your field, so mine looks 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’ ,

‘Web Site’

);

– where my web site field is called Web Site.

Also you may want to add in any social networking URLS that your site uses in the $social_networking_fields array that’s below this array. Same principle.

I use a plugin by Boone Gorges called Custom Profile Filters:

http://dev.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2009/06/21/updated-version-02-of-custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/

Needs some manual configuration in the $social_networking_fields array, but you should be able to do what you need.

Give that a shot.

Is that a premium theme ?,I don’t have access to it,so my opinion may not be good enough.But I hope,you can achieve it using the following approach.

1.Do some css modification,that can help you to make it 2 column

if not then.

Look at the function

bp_get_the_profile_field_options in bp-xprofile-templatetags.php, Here resides the logic for what you are looking for.

But Note,editing this is not a good idea,so better try it using css.

Try the custom filters for BP plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/

Allows you / your users to be more prescriptive about what BP ‘auto-links’. Don’t think it will completely stop BP auto-linking some things – though you could, if you wished, tell the plugin to exclude ALL fields from being auto-linked.

You / users can also use the square brackets ‘[ ]’ in profile fields to specify words or phrases they do want linking.

The plugin’s pretty handy for specifying fields like web site / twitter that shouldn’t be auto-linked.

I had a similar issue, and this is how i fixed it. Maybe it will help.

BTW, using WPMU 2.8.4a and BP 1.1.1.

bp-core-classes.php: around line 224:

$total_users_sql = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_users_by_letter_count_sql’, $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT DISTINCT count(u.ID) FROM ” . CUSTOM_USER_TABLE . ” u LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_data} pd ON u.ID = pd.user_id LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_fields} pf ON pd.field_id = pf.id WHERE u.spam = 0 AND u.deleted = 0 AND u.user_status = 0 AND pf.name = %s AND pd.value LIKE ‘$letter%%’ ORDER BY pd.value ASC”, BP_XPROFILE_FULLNAME_FIELD_NAME ), $letter );

$paged_users_sql = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_users_by_letter_sql’, $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT DISTINCT u.ID as user_id FROM ” . CUSTOM_USER_TABLE . ” u LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_data} pd ON u.ID = pd.user_id LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_fields} pf ON pd.field_id = pf.id WHERE u.spam = 0 AND u.deleted = 0 AND u.user_status = 0 AND pf.name = %s AND pd.value LIKE ‘$letter%%’ ORDER BY pd.value ASC{$pag_sql}”, BP_XPROFILE_FULLNAME_FIELD_NAME ), $letter, $pag_sql );

For me, it was the pf.name in the WHERE that was coming back with nothing. I understand the MYSQL, but not understanding the logic behind that. I changed it to what I was hoping to nail in the first place:

$total_users_sql = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_users_by_letter_count_sql’, $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT DISTINCT count(u.ID) FROM ” . CUSTOM_USER_TABLE . ” u LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_data} pd ON u.ID = pd.user_id LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_fields} pf ON pd.field_id = pf.id WHERE u.spam = 0 AND u.deleted = 0 AND u.user_status = 0 AND pf.name = ‘Last Name’ AND pd.value LIKE ‘$letter%%’ ORDER BY pd.value ASC”, BP_XPROFILE_FULLNAME_FIELD_NAME ), $letter );

$paged_users_sql = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_users_by_letter_sql’, $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT DISTINCT u.ID as user_id FROM ” . CUSTOM_USER_TABLE . ” u LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_data} pd ON u.ID = pd.user_id LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_fields} pf ON pd.field_id = pf.id WHERE u.spam = 0 AND u.deleted = 0 AND u.user_status = 0 AND pf.name = ‘Last Name’ AND pd.value LIKE ‘$letter%%’ ORDER BY pd.value ASC{$pag_sql}”, BP_XPROFILE_FULLNAME_FIELD_NAME ), $letter, $pag_sql );

Works fine for me. I’ve heard the latest edge version of BuddyPress fixes this somehow… but this worked at install for me so something must of changed. I have ALOT of custom profiles and the member import was a-typical so maybe in my case that had something to do with it.

I installed WPMU and buddypress and all work great but blogs subdomains dont work – blank page

can you help me? whats wrong… install was OK

hi Phillip

Yes yo can.

By default your registration page will show only the fields from first profile field group.

You can change it.

You will have to edit registration/register.php

Look for the code

and replace it with

Now your register page will show all the fields.

But stop,This is not enough,you need to aggregate all the field ids and put it as hidden field.

So Take a look at the the line

remove it from the profile loop.Now create some code inside the profile loop,aggregate all profile ids and then

put this code outside the profile group loop,

where I ssume you have aggregated all profile fields in the variable $all_pf_fields.

Please note,all $all_pf_fields should be the comma separated list of all profile ids(say 1,2,3,)

This will make it work,and your registration page will show all profile groups fields

Each field group has an ID value. You can modify the registration.php file to include additional groups by repeating the following and changing “1” to “2”:

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

to

<?php if ( function_exists( ‘bp_has_profile’ ) ) : if ( bp_has_profile( ‘profile_group_id=2’ ) ) : while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>
