BuddyPress.org

I was having similar problems, slow to load and lots of resources. The problems seemed to dissapear when I removed a lot of the profile fields.

I tried xprofile_get_field_data() but it didn’t work, maybe I’m just too dumb..

So I tried it using MySQL, here is my function wp_new_user_notification, I edit wp-includes/pluggable.php

function wp_new_user_notification($user_id, $plaintext_pass = ”) {
$user = new WP_User($user_id);

$user_login = stripslashes($user->user_login);
$user_email = stripslashes($user->user_email);
$buddypress_fields = $user_id;

// The blogname option is escaped with esc_html on the way into the database in sanitize_option
// we want to reverse this for the plain text arena of emails.
$blogname = wp_specialchars_decode(get_option(‘blogname’), ENT_QUOTES);

$message = sprintf(__(‘New user registration on your site %s:’), $blogname) . “rnrn”;
$message .= sprintf(__(‘Username: %s’), $user_login) . “rnrn”;
$message .= sprintf(__(‘E-mail: %s’), $user_email) . “rnrn”;

// Add Custom Fields from buddypress table to admin email – Start

$buddypress_result_ = mysql_query(“SELECT
wp_bp_xprofile_fields.name,
wp_bp_xprofile_data.value
FROM wp_bp_xprofile_fields, wp_bp_xprofile_data
WHERE
wp_bp_xprofile_data.user_id = $user_id
AND
wp_bp_xprofile_fields.id = wp_bp_xprofile_data.field_id
ORDER BY
wp_bp_xprofile_data.field_id”);

while($buddypress_row = mysql_fetch_array($buddypress_result_))
{
$fields = $buddypress_row;
$fields_value = $buddypress_row;
$message .= $fields . “: rn”;
$message .= $fields_value . “rnrn”;
}

// Add Custom Fields from buddypress table to admin email – End

@wp_mail(get_option(‘admin_email’), sprintf(__(‘[%s] New User Registration’), $blogname), $message);

if ( empty($plaintext_pass) )
return;

$message = sprintf(__(‘Username: %s’), $user_login) . “rn”;
$message .= sprintf(__(‘Password: %s’), $plaintext_pass) . “rn”;
$message .= wp_login_url() . “rn”;

wp_mail($user_email, sprintf(__(‘[%s] Your username and password’), $blogname), $message);

}

Excelent… thats works fine, is i was looking for thansk a lot… online a cuestion, how i can display correctly date fields @enailor ???

Anybody? I downloaded and installed this last one but the fields dont match up and the user name is missing to edit from. This is a MUST have!!!

@kirkslater, nice idea! I hope you don’t mind me piggy backing off your post but your idea brought a related one to mind.

@sbrajesh, thanks for planting the seed. Is the following possible? Whether viewing the group or member directory, could the div for the list item; that is the row that contains the group or member, be made into a link that on hover, activates a tool tip that contains group or member profile data? And I’m not referring to hover over the existing member name link; since, in my opinion, this would require the user aim their cursor at a small defined space rather than the “acreage” a row represents.

The purpose behind the request is “context”. When looking at a list of members or groups, having the user click on the link for them to find out the details behind the member or group is wasteful and time-consuming. This is why kirkslater’s idea is so intriguing.

@kirkslater,
you are most welcome. Checking that thread in a minute

I can still see a problem in making this whole thing dynamic. I.e: have seperate loops for lets say ‘students’, ‘academics’ and ‘staff’. Would that be possible to implement? Basically the values that are passed to inclide_by_meta would have to change according to which name/value/role I want to filter by. That is a bit over my head, as I’m not a coder. Any help is appreciated!

Hi there,
how does your code behave in BP 1.5? I am trying to filter members by user role and used the following code:
`

<?php
$user_role = array (
‘role’ => ‘author’,
);

$all_authors = get_users ($user_role);

$members_to_be_included = array ();
foreach ($all_authors as $all_author) {
$members_to_be_included[] = $all_author->ID;
}
?>

`

The problem I run into though is that when I use the filter members by ‘active’, ‘alphabetical’ etc. those filters would not work anymore. Do they work with your code? Will definitely try this out!

I am disappointed that BuddyPress does not simply use and extend the WP profile fields. It complicates things.
And synching profiles with mailchimp plug-ins is now more complex – ok it doesn’t work – for me anyway.
BuddyPress is a WP plug-in, not a standalone system so it should plug in to WP, including profiles. Bp says it offers extended profiles, not different profiles.
Incidentally my users want Last name, First name, just to complicate things further.

Hi

Just what I am looking for I think. So if I understand right I create user profile fields for Facebook, twitter and linkedin and instead of displaying the user entered link it will display the icons for each.

Next question where do and in which file do I place the suggested code?

thanks

Safari browser can use the gps API on an iPhone, I’m not sure about Android. You could create code that attaches user meta to a logged in user and save the gps coordinates then filter members list by distance.

There are a couple location plugins but those are address based in which you enter address into profile fields. They do not update your current info.

So yes it’s doable but no plugin currently exists.

BuddyPress has it’s own integrated with WordPress users – you can add profile fields and have other control things. In theory they are the same but with additions.

Yes, if you want to maximise what the site does getting a theme designed from the start for BuddyPress is a good step. But, with the template pack as said you don’t have to do that.

I’m having this same issue as well, sort of. I upgraded my production site to 1.5, since all worked well with my test installation. Upon upgrade, all Full Name fields were replaced with the data from the usernames field. So, usernames are displayed in place of the Full Name in the member header as well as the profile section. Only after reading jorge’s issues did I attempt to change the field names.

What’s odd is that in the activity stream, new entries retain the Full Name while replies to entries display the username – even when a user is replying to their own activity. I’ve tried rolling back to 1.2.10 – just the buddypress plugin itself, not the whole database – but the problem persists. Any ideas devs? @boonebgorges @djpaul
