BuddyPress.org

In the admin under BuddyPress menu there is a section “profiles” you can add more fields for users to fill out at sign up . These are not hidden, you will have to come up with your own solution. Hiding fieldsis on the development road map. There is also BuddyPress profile privacy plugin.

hello,

I try to do the same thing. I want to display a specific picture following the gender of the members.

I use add_filter and the picture of the profil is the good one but all others pictures from sidebar, for example, are the same…

Have you finally find a solution for this issue ?

Thanks in advance,

My test code :
function bp_remove_gravatar ($image, $params, $item_id, $avatar_dir, $css_id, $html_width, $html_height, $avatar_folder_url, $avatar_folder_dir) {
$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .’/images/bp_default_avatar.gif’;
if( $image && strpos( $image, “gravatar.com” ) ){
if ( bp_get_profile_field_data( ‘field=Gender’ ) == ‘Female’ ) {
$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .’/images/def_f_avatar.gif’;
return ‘‘;
}
if ( bp_get_profile_field_data( ‘field=Gender’ ) == ‘Male’ ) {
$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .’/images/def_m_avatar.gif’;
return ‘‘;
}
else {
return $image;
}
} else {
return $image;
}
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_fetch_avatar’, ‘bp_remove_gravatar’, 1, 9 );

Get xprofile field result, run it through an if, and just get the avatar out of your images folder of your theme. No buddypress avatar functions needed.

Your code should work because this code : php bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=Country’ ); works for me in members-loop.php – didn’t try it in BP 1.5 yet

BP Media has a nice upload function accesable from the users profile, if you dig through their plugin files im sure youd find a similar function. Or are you looking for some sort of shortcode for users?

Theres also https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/screenshots/ which might be sort of what your looking for…

Hi there,

I am having a major issue in that the registration is not populating the fields in the user database. Can anyone help? intooutside.org/sign-up

Somehow the fields are not inputting the data into the user profile (ie: first, last names are required and they are nowhere in the database). This happened after I installed Buddy Press

Help!

PS I am not a coder and know conceptually, so speak laymen if possible in your response

I have been asking for the same thing but no answer. This should be something that the Buddypress theme should integrate in future versions! It should be fairly simple and very useful! Not to mention a simple way to show the extended profiles…

@katje, were you able to get a resolution on finding a multiple-criteria “search” plugin?

@boonebgorges, Boone, I hope I’m not hijacking the thread because my question reflects one of katje’s questions: Is there a plugin or something close (that I could point a developer to) that would accomplish a multiple criteria search across the membership directory? Here’s a scenario: Let’s say that my membership comprises global athletes, both professional and social. Furthermore, each one of these athletes compete in many different sports. My potential membership could be in the hundreds of thousands, probably millions. My users would need a way to sift through a directory of that size. So, if my xprofile fields contain tria-thletes some of whom have held the profession of astronaut, then I dare say 99.99% of the membership would not meet that criteria. It’s an extreme example which I hope illustrates the need across general searches.

BTW, if this is considered hijacking a thread, please let me know and I’ll create a new topic.
