Topic: Adding more profile fields to the register page

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

Larsswemmer
Member

Greetings,

I’m having trouble adding more profile fields to the register page. I’m adding the new fields in the admin section, but they are not showing up on the register page itself. I had trouble finding a solution so I decided to make a post here.

I hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks in advance!

Lars

I checked the entry.php file in the theme/activity folder but I was unable to find an explanation to insert xprofile fields. Any hints?

In the file entry.php in the activity folder you can see a comment that explains how to show xprofile fields in the member loop

Topic: Displaying “member” custom fields in Group member listings

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I apologize in advance if this is a repost but I was unable to find the answer in the forums. I am running BP 1.51 and I have a question about the information displayed in groups/members. By default, the information displayed is the member’s user name and the ‘joined’ data.

Is there a way I can display a user’s data from custom user fields rather than their user name. I was unable to call upon my custom profile fields.

I’ve been poking around in theme/groups/single/members.php

I tried using the following line of code with no success:

bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=First Name’ );

Thanks in advance.

Topic: How to make car community with these functions

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

We are a large car club in Norway, and we are looking to expand our website posabilities. Today we do not use WordPress or Buddypress, but we are testing a Buddypress system on our test server.

How can we make a “car profile” function for our members with posabilities like for example to make a page about their own car with pictures, text, input fields like engine, make, model etc.?

And the “public message”, can it be changed with something like Facebook wall on others users profile instead of the “ @user” method?

Thanks

The only way to import generated profile fields at the moment is to do a straight database export of the xprofile field tables and then import them into your new site. (These database tables are “wp_bp_xprofile_fields” and “wp_bp_xprofile_groups” by default.)

The codex is basically a WordPress blog. I believe everyone who has an account with buddypress.org should be able to login at codex.wordpress.org/wp-admin/ and post something. Though, your post might be held as a draft until someone with higher permissions can look at it.

If you have ideas for codex articles, please feel free to post them. If you encounter problems, let us know.

There isn’t a single document to reference for documentation. I don’t believe WordPress has a document like that available on their codex. (I could be wrong though!)

I, too, am looking for documentation. I found the BuddyPress codex [1]. However, I find it somewhat lacking. Is it a wiki like the WordPress Codex[2]? If so, I may add what I learn to help others.

Ideally, I am looking for a single-document version of the documentation. I would like to print it and have it as a reference as I work. Has that been done before? What would it take to write a script to combine the existing docs at [1] into a single document (HTML, PDF, etc.)?

@mercime, I am specifically looking for information about user profile fields: I’d like to import an existing set of user fields. I haven’t searched the plugins yet; I’m still trying to get oriented to the BuddyPress support system. As for “submitting articles,” where do the articles live? How do I submit one?

Thanks!

Your solution

I had this same problem.

TO fix it, go to the BuddyPress Profile Fields Admin Area,

Rename the Full Name to Name
Rename the Main Profile Field Group to Base

Save.

This will fix the issue.

Sure. In your theme, edit up /members/index.php and /members/members-loop.php. In the latter, which is where you will most likely want to make your changes, there’s a block of text starting “If you want to show specific profile fields here you can…” which explains how to add in extra fields.

Hi everyone. I’ve looked through the forums to find an answer but haven’t found it. Currently in my members directory, for each member, it displays the profile picture, primary field (which i set as first name) and their active time. Does anyone know how to change this so it displays other fields in the member directory?

I’m running on WP 3.2.1, installed as a directory in root, fresh install, BP version 1.5.1, using a customized theme, have not modified the core files, a few custom functions, and no bbPress installed.

Thanks in advance everyone.

In reply to: BP 1.5 required fields become prefilled with the first option on reg page – Watch Screencast

Boone Gorges
Keymaster

Yes, it’s a change: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3378#comment:2

The plugin you’re using is using for search is using core functions to render the dropdowns. That’s great, of course. But, in all the ways that the dropdowns are used in BP core, it does *not* make sense to have a null option for required dropdowns. So, while it’s inconvenient and I wish it had been raised at an earlier point, I think it’s incumbent on the plugin to create the fields in the way necessary for the plugin’s functionality to work right.

Alternatively, I would be happy to see a patch for BP that allows bp_get_the_profile_field_options() to take an argument along the lines of show_null_value_for_required (maybe not that wordy, but you get the idea). That way, we could default to false (1.5 behavior) but allow the 1.2.x behavior optionally, at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-template.php?annotate=blame&rev=5230#L431. It would be an easy patch to write; I encourage you to do it yourself, or at least to open a ticket for it.

I’ve done a screencast to illustrate this point a little better.

Does anyone agree that the required profile field behaviour should revert back to how it behaved pre BP 1.5?

Would love to hear opinions as this may affect other plugins for people.

in forum Creating & Extending

mrgarethnunn

Is their a way to customise BP Profile search process? If yes I’m interested to pursue and donate. I need two things (1) I have created 3 groups within BuddyPress Extended/Custom Profile Fields, is their a way to alter BP Profile Search script where by all fields within Group 3 are mapped to fields within Group 2, meaning when a user selects certain fields from Group 3 dropdown menus, BP Profile searches these selections against fields in Group 2, then returns partial/best match profiles.

(2) Is their a way to display which profiles returned in results are closest match to search criteria using a % indicator i.e “this profile is a 90% match” or “this profile is a “30%match”?

Keen to progress this project asap. Any assitance or bids truley welcomed.

Thank You!

Screencast now at http://screenr.com/Fjrs

Hi all!

This didn’t used to happen in BP 1.2.x. but when you have required profile fields in BP 1.5, the fields get prefilled with the first option in the list when you visit the registration page. They are already filled in with those first options as opposed to how it used to be with a

line above all options in the dropdown.

This isn’t a big problem in itself, but I use a ‘search profile fields’ plugin which needs to be able to search by say just one profile field.

The way the profile fields now behave (prefilled) means that ALL of the available fields are always filled with the first option. I need there to be the line above the options which was displayed as

back.

Therefore people can just select one option from one prodile fields to search, leaving the rest displaying

.

I hope this is clear, it’s quite hard to explain.

I’m sure this will cause others problems though. Users will no longer miss required fields but it would be very easy for them to overlook the prefilled option and end up with wrong info on their profiles.

I too have asked how to get the extended profile fields to display….NO ANSWER FROM ANYONE. This support forum is really quite poor. Sorta ‘open source’ – you get what you pay for in terms of support (or lack of it…).

Topic: Possible to require fields ONLY if another field is enabled?

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

Falafelhead
Member

Hey All and thanks for the help in advance!

I’m creating a new registration form for users that has multiple Field Groups

One of the groups has a ‘radio button’ asking if they want to supply their personal address for a physical subscription to our newsletter (YES/NO buttons)

How I’m hoping this could work is IF a user selects ‘YES’ then the Address profile group will slide down and the user is required to fill in their address information. However if the user choose ‘NO’ to the newsletter subscription, then the Address profile group stays hidden (display:none) and the user is NOT required to fill out that information.

Is this possible? To make fields required ONLY if the value of another field is defined?

THANKS!

I have a similar problem.
I have installed the latest Buddypress and since then my profile settings in the registration page have been reset to basic “Username” and “password”.
When I go to Profile Fields in Buddypress I can’t change any of my basic profile settings.The only option I get is to add extended profile fields.
How do I set up my basic profile fields?
Any ideas?

Thanks.

I have several profile fields created and one is using the cheeckboxes field type. After selecting the checkboxes that are appropriate when editing a profile, buddypress is listing them out in a sentence like format and separating the selected options with commas. I would like to set it up so that rather than showing them next to each other separated by commas, the selected options are broken out on a different line, but I can’t find where I would make this change in the .php file.

Any advise on this would be much appreciated!

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

spennis

Hi,

I have searched for hours to try to understand how to properly use the extended / custom profile fields in Buddypress but I am still puzzled. How come the Buddypress team have created the extended profile fields without giving users the possibility to actually show those fields in a simple way??

I need to know:
– How to I get all the custom profile fields I create in Buddypress to show on the register and members page and have this data to be properly stored in the database?

And I would also like to know:
– If it would be possible to have a drop-down list with the different profile field sections that the registering user can choose from, eg. the user could choose what type of member he/she would like to become (eg. private member, company, organisation…) and depending on what he chose from the drop-down menu, a different profile field / register page would appear.

Many thanks!
