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!!!

Sanny

Hey everyone,

I’m dealing with a similar problem: 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”

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

Thanks & Grazie!!!

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

+1

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.

Was this ever solved? I am trying to accomplish the same thing – make some profile fields private. Thanks!

Oho, I learn something new every day!

So r-a-y – since it’s profile-field specific, you can probably skip while (bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field() right? #toolazytotrymyself

Boone is right; however there is a way to post specific xprofile fields!

Check out a nifty function called bp_profile_field_data().

Say I have an xprofile field called “Bio”.

I’d use this code snippet:

bp_profile_field_data('field=Bio');

This will echo the “Bio” xprofile field of the displayed user.

If you want to manipulate the data, use:

bp_get_profile_field_data('field=Bio');

I just discovered the same problem of getting the same “Please try again” when attempting to save a profile with empty not required fields. Also only One (the last) item selected in a Multi Select Box is being saved and displayed on the Pubic Profile page. Check Boxes do work properly and display all checked items on the Public Profile Page. I’ll enter this in the Trac later today unless someone shares some additional insight.

If you want to get information out of the custom xprofile fields, you’ll need to use some of the functions in the profile-loop. I don’t think there are any core BP functions that allow you to pull a specific profile field by name or ID, so you’ll have to create a profile loop (<?php if ( bp_has_profile() ) : while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>), then a profile field loop (<?php if( bp_profile_group_has_fields() : while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); ?>) and then loop through the items, picking out the ones you want by field name. Use the code in profile-loop.php as a template for what you want to insert into members-loop.

That code snippet probably applied to an older version of BP.

If someone posts this on the Ideas forum, that’ll get this flagged for a future BP release. I know John’s working on xProfile in BP 1.3, so it’ll never work again properly *hides*

Thanks for the plug, Erich

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/ is the plugin you’re thinking of. I updated it about a week ago to work on versions of BP 1.2+ (though you should definitely let me know if it does not work!).

@Nick – the plugin will do what you want. Check out the readme file, which will explain how to make it work.

@gregfielding – That’s a good idea, but at the moment BP is not set up in a way that makes it easy to create those check marks with a plugin. Maybe I’ll submit a core patch that does it, as I’d like to see it too.
