BuddyPress.org

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.

Did anyone figure out a way to do this without that plugin (which still doesn’t work it seems) ?

I’ve added extended fields per buddypress’s capabilities; however, they don’t show up in my registration process….any idea why not and what I need to do about it:

Here is a completed profile where someone actually went back into their EDIT PROFILE and finished adding all the data: http://www.localjobs.com/blog/members/jimtait/profile/

Yet, even then – not all the REQUIRED fields are showing up on EDIT mode.

And here is the URL to register…and you can see that just a small bit of those initial fields actually during a new registration process – and my REQUIRED fields don’t show up either: http://www.localjobs.com/blog/register

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? I’m asking this here because I’m getting zero responses after 3 weeks in the HOW-TO section having asked the same questions and this can’t be that hard to answer….

Much thanks.

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!
