very simple

remove_filter( ‘bp_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 2);

That removes the autolinking

I have developed a nice plugin (now a pair) which changes profile values rendering depending on the name of the group. I have not yet released the code, as I’m offering it as beerware.

Here is my profile on my beta site:

http://gorgeousgamers.com/beta/members/bradmkjr/

I made the social details, normally clickable so people can enter myspace, facebook, or personal sites.

I also made a fun mp3 player plugin to allow people to suggest music for their profiles and listen to samples.

It would be helpful to see your code, Brad. Are you willing to share?

when are you going to release it and also can you apply it for youtube media ?

Filters are very useful, I’ve tried to include filters on every template tag, so you can modify template tag output as you see fit.

This is a good solution (or hack) for when this has to be in the profile page. I can easily see this expanding into it’s own page for bigger sites. And I forgot about the filter hint from Andy. Good job.

Finished,

Wrote it as a customization to the profile fields, managed to do it in about 10 or so lines of php. Read my complete post here:

If I had the time, I’d build a plug-in that 1. added a section to the profile page that 2. worked like myBlogLog in that it showed a bunch of username/profile url fields for the various other social networks and then validated prior to 3. showing on a member profile as a nice icon/button to that site/platform/service. Otherwise, odds are many noob users won’t go the extra mile to paste links or do whatever it takes to make text look right.

lol! OK, I just did a clean install (1and1). Same symptom…tables not created. Here are the relevant fields from wp_sitemeta:

bp-activity-version 1.0b1

bp-core-version 1.0b1

bp-xprofile-base-group-name Base

bp-xprofile-fullname-field-name Full Name

bp-xprofile-fullname-conversion 1

bp-xprofile-version 1.0b1

bp-messages-version 1.0b1

bp-groups-version 1.0b1

bp-friends-version 1.0b1

bp-blogs-first-install 1

bp-blogs-version 1.0b1

P.S. Actually I liked the lady floating in space with the bowl on her head. I have exotic tastes.

Here’s another snippet. This is the first error log entry that appears after invoking BP:

Can you tell I’m desperate?

1and1 just notified me that they’re redirecting Apache error logging to a file I can access. I went to the back site admin area, which is supposed to trigger the creation of the BP tables. Some of the log corresponding to that looks like what I’ve pasted below. Not sure if the SQL syntax error is causing all the trouble. Please let me know what else you need. Again, thanks.

Fresh domain. Fresh upload. Fresh install. Fresh cookies. Triple-checked permissions. Same problem: Can’t create groups, either from back admin side or front side. I always get the message, “”There was an error saving group details. Please try again.”

I’m afraid I’m close to throwing in the towel.

The installation directions say, “7. Head to: “Site Admin > Profiles” in the wp-admin area.” I don’t see a “Profiles” option, just “Profile Fields.” Just a typo?

My install is at: http://exploreouroceans.org

Thanks and Happy Holidays.

zanzoon, dimensionmedia is right in asking what exactly are you referring to? The site linked in your profile looks fine and seems to be operating fine. That error is on what page? What theme are trying to access it on as the 2 default themes seem to be working fine. As well, in your admin the URL to access the xprofile fields is like this:

/wp-admin/wpmu-admin.php?page=xprofile_settings

Are you trying to access the URL directory or something?

sweet, I’ll try that out, thanks!

it will link anything shorter than 5 words and anything between commas, 5 words or less.

any thoughts?

Andy,

Thanks for your reply. I’m not sure I understand “…fill in all fields on the first page when creating the group…” What is the “first page” in this case?

The only place I can add a group is using “Add a Group” under Site Admin>Profile Fields. Does that sound right? Under Site Admin>Groups there are no options to add/edit/delete groups…it simply says “No Groups to Display.” Does that sound right? Thanks.

I’m having the identical issue with a fresh install of the Combo Pack (1.0b1). I’ve followed the instructions for installation of Combo Pack (https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypres-from-combo/) but when I select Site Admin > Profile Fields, then “Add a Group,” I get the message “There was an error saving the group. Please try again.” Grateful for any advice on this.

bp just relies on the mu registration and login stuff wardeh. It adds a few fields by hooking some wp things to add extra profile info but it relies on the settings in site admin > options for ‘allow new registrations’. Thems the standard options in mu. Anything else is a mod or plugin.

If it works for mu (the moderation plugin you found) then it works for mu/bp. Any mu or wp plugin should work for ya. Unless there is some bizarre conflict with bp which I haven’t run into yet.

bp is just another mu plugin like all the rest. Well, more wildly cool and useful than all the rest, but it’s still YAMP. (Yet Another Mu Plugin)

my first guess would probably be the structure.css file in your bp-core (css) folder. look for “inner-tube” and all its other classes (that’s styling for when you’re actually on the member profile). as to the backend view when you’re editing your profile you might want to try tweaking the forTab class and signup-field class.

i notice that it is somewhat working in the latest build. I’m running it on trunk MU 2.7 and buddypress 1.0 beta. i see that some of the fields are links and some are not. i can’t seem to find a consistent behavior. anyone else seeing this?

Oy, just upgraded to 1.0b1 and still have the same problem with messages not working. Here’s what I did for the upgrade:

trial 1) overwrote all plugins with the latest releases (combo download), tested site — messaging didn’t work;

trial 2) deleted all mu-plugins, re-downloaded 1.0b1 (in case the d/l botched the first time), uploaded everything it in their proper locations, tested site — messaging still didn’t work.

I tested private messaging by doing the following:

trial 1) My Account >> Messages >> Compose >> write a message >> Send — pressing Send cleared all fields (Send To, Subject, Message);

trial 2) My Account >> Friends >> My Friends >> click on friend’s profile >> Send Message >> write a message >> Send — pressing Send cleared all fields again;

trial 3) do the same stuff as trial 2 but with a different friend — still the same problem.

Here’s the funny part, when I checked off “This is a notice to all users” the Send button did work. One other piece of information that might help troubleshoot this is that I have this text “(Use username – autocomplete coming soon)” next to the Send To label.

It will be there, I just need to link them up to the member directory search.

This was likely removed by mistake, I will add it back now. I was changing things with JS and CSS inclusion according to WP coding standards.
