BuddyPress.org

While creating a gaming blog, I used the profile field set up in BuddyPress to set up a bunch of checkboxes for the user to select which consoles they own when registering.

All I want is for the check boxes to be displayed as a list instead of in a row.

They are like this: []Xbox[]PS3[]Wii

I want them like this:
[]Xbox
[]PS3
[]Wii

I looked into the code in register.php but can’t figure out how to do this:

Probably too late for 1.3, which I eagerly await, but here’s something I’d love to see…

The ability to create profile fields that do not use the same value for both the option and the displayed text.
For example, a select box could have: option value=100> Grey option
Instead of option value=Grey > Grey option

Not being able to do that has created all sorts of problems related to search, especially when doing a range search.
I’ve had to make some awful hacks in several places.

It would require an extra db field – not a big deal.
And the admin panel could have a button that says duplicate or use same value for those cases where it doesn’t matter.

Also – why are the values for the ‘first page’ of profile fields serialized? Performance?
And not the others?
If you want to change those form types – you can’t because it screws up the profiles of existing users.
For example: They want the same values but as checkboxes instead of a dropdown.

Hey guys, had a quick question. I’m using the U Buddypress Forum Editor (don’t worry, that’s not what this thread is about) to add a wysiwyg editor to the forum. Anyway, I decided I wanted to add it to some profile fields (using s2Member, so only paying members can fill out these fields). I want to be able to safely remove the wp_filter_kses and xprofile_sanitize_data_value_before_save to JUST those profile fields so that the HTML isn’t stripped. I realize the security risk, but it’s what the client wants. Right now, the only way I could figure it out was to simply add these lines to my functions.php:

`
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘wp_filter_kses’, 1 );
remove_filter( ‘xprofile_data_value_before_save’, ‘xprofile_sanitize_data_value_before_save’, 1, 2 );
`
Works fine, but that remove the filters from EVERYTHING. I just want to remove the filters from certain fields. How do I do that?

A required profile field, a multicheckbox, just started throwing an error when edited by users:

“There was a problem updating some of your profile information, please try again.”

Any changes to any fields on the first page of ‘edit profile’ will throw that error when saved.
However, any field other than one specific field will show the saved change.
There is only one multicheckbox on this page and changes to it are not saved.

All the fields on this page are saved in serialized format.

So I’m stumped.
No changes have been made to profile fields in admin panel.
Subsequent edit profile pages have multicheckboxes that can be edited and saved without problem – these aren’t serialized.

Any ideas re what the problem could be?
Something corrupted in serialization?

Is there a way to get a more detailed error message? Something less generic?

Hello, I have a question.

I have some profile fields that users fill out that they put in the links to their facebook, twitter, yahoo, and youtube in it, (facebook profile URL, etc)

But I wanted it to display an icon linking to their facebook profile, getting data from the profile field. So, simple enough I created something like this;

`<a href="”>`

Worked dandy, but what I want now, is that if the user has *NOT* filled out that field, I want the icon to not appear.

How can I do this?

Hello , how can I restrict 2 different type of members (based on xprofile fields or on 2 different roles ) , e.g photographers versus models or mens & womans to do not become a friends , I want to let the girls speak to each other , and photographers – agencies to speak only between them , I don’t want to let them to send private messages between photographer and girl , I want to let them only speak publicly (using forums ). So I would be using allow only friends private messages plugin to restrict the only friends to speak to each other , but never those 2 groups between them . How could I achieve that ?
