BuddyPress.org

Okay, so I would edit feild_name and user_id or just feild_name? and how would I get the users full name or just first name? Would I use something like:

<?php echo xprofile_get_field_data( $full_name, $user_id ); ?>

and for the first name:

<?php echo xprofile_get_field_data( $full_name-first, $user_id ); ?>

or what. Would I have to create 2 separate fields for first name and anither for their last and use something like:

<?php echo xprofile_get_field_data( $first_name, $user_id ); ?>

or what?

Thanks.

ha,

apparently bp-xprofile.php wasn’t uploaded. Just like bp-wire.php isn’t uploaded.

I now see the edit profile and update avatar. Where can i add some more profile fields??? like city, country

regards,

So … if I enable the extended profiles and create the fields I want, will they then show in the A-Z area of the site? I think you can see what I’m trying to do … I’m trying to create a directory of businesses using the members area of the site … eventually we want folks to sign up on their own and enter the information for the listing themselves …

Yes, I am in the member directory. Each member shows up in the directory. Isn’t that where profiles are displayed?

Check this link:

This is what shows up when “Extended Profiles” are disabled. Yes, I said “disabled.” Shouldn’t this be what shows up when the profile is “enabled”? Yet … are we talking about the same animal?

When I create a custom field, it also does not show in the entry form on the admin section of the site, so even though I’ve created several custom fields, those fields don’t show up and aren’t available for anyone to see/use.

Well, I thought the same thing, but someone else told me to disable it. If I have the Extended Profiles enabled, nothing but the name of the member shows in the public profile. If I disable it, then all the information in the About the User section shows up. Makes no sense. What I want is to be able to 1) create fields for specific kinds of information that I want to show in the public profile and 2) have that information actually show up in the public profile! As it is, the only way to have anything show is to disable the extended profile … which is the opposite of what I’m looking for …

Actually, I haven’t figured it out. If I want to add fields to the profile so that the person’s information (Address, City, State, ZIP, etc) isn’t displayed as a jumble of sentences, then how can I add those fields if I disable the extended profile option? Why would BuddyPress actually carry a feature that is attractive and then for any usable information to display, one would have to deactivate it? Am I missing something here?

So tell me … how do I add custom fields to the profile AND have them display on each member’s visible public profile?

flickr thickbox is a nice improvement….

for my site admin, everytime i refresh the profile, the username in the flick settings changes to a random user

I left the flickr settings fields blank

?

I think it was after i added the option for new user registrations and i added some extra profile fields that “Recent Blog Posts (side wide)” and sitewide activity for new posts broke.

Please help.

Actually, no, the issue is there with the default bp-member theme as well. I’ve tried it with both the default and my own customization of the same. For whatever reason, all of the entries in my profile fields are hotlinked.

Thx

I think we might be thinking of different things. I was just saying I used the “Profile Fields” option under the “Site Admin” drop down in wp-admin to add a few more fields beyond just name and email (the defaults).

There are only two users so far – “admin” (where I alter stuff) – and a basic user account I made just to test out the site and see if from the subscriber standpoint – not admin.

However on the page that should load up a users profile, including their name, avatar, etc – it loads the header, footer, sidebar, but in the “content” area it just says “Edit this entry.” with a link that just refreshes the page.

Update: This issue was on my end. I’ve customized the bp-member theme and found part of the problem (new profile groups not showing up) but the entries in those fields continue to be hotlinked. When clicked, they all go to the member directory.

Cheers

I made 8 custom profile text fields, like City, Company, Title etc. They “worked” as in when a user goes to the signup page they show up and get filled out they way they are supposed to.

The default email thing is in the WMU options where you can automatically send an email to folks who sign up. The default value is something like “Thanks for signing up for your blog… etc”. I changed it to “Thanks for creating your profile… etc” in the settings. However the email I got when I created a subscriber account was the original blog one.

Hope that clarifies it.
