    Hi all,

    I just noticed that you can’t save fields with special characters in the profile field, I have setup a checkbox with a couple options using the “&” char as a value and it won’t let me save them (Doesn’t throw me an error or anything though) but when I remove then it works fine. Is there a filter I can remove to let me do this? I tried looking around the core files but I wasn’t able to locate the part where BP filters these values.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello!

    Did anybody work with native Facebook Registration plugin ( http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/registration ) and is it possible to get some fields from FB profile with Graph API ( http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user ) (e.g. fill user’s “Bio” in BP with users “Bio” data from FB)?

    I guess that will be really great functionality & much better user experience… Do u know some ready-to-go plugins or maybe we develop it together?

    Thanks Paul! I took a break to finish the other parts of the plugins and the rest of that project, but now I’m back working on this part again. Unfortunately, I can’t make head or tails of that function. I’ve tried sending a variable array to that function based on the parameters it gives on line 584, but it never adds the field. It appears xprofile_insert_field() requires a the group_field_id too, which I’m also trying to create a new Field Group, but I can’t find a way to get the ID # of the group I’m creating, and it doesn’t appear the group is created either. Is there a tutorial or a working plugin that does the same thing I can see HOW they did it?

    @ivoss – God bless you for posting that link! (http://pastebin.com/RLreXE7X)

    I lost days on this already!

    These lines (aroung 150) are CRUCIAL for getting the values posted to the database (basically that `$fields_ids[]` function

    `

    <input type="hidden" name="signup_profile_field_ids" id="signup_profile_field_ids" value="” />`

    well, that (velomash) will not help much unfortunatelly .. nor will the required fields be cheked or the information for all group fields saved to the database!
    Buddypress is so damn buggy on this one, wonder if they really thought of the purpose of implementing those fileds without proper connection to teh registration form; who the h* (sorry!) will go to fill in the fields if not requested upon registration?

    here’s my workaround for this problem

    https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/multiple-profile-group-fields-in-registration/?_wpnonce=98e520cdd5#post-98202

    as no buddypress gurus EVER botherd to give a feedback on this, and left everyone here in the dark for more than 1 year

    the above still sucks of course (or rather the whole registration process for buddypress sucks!), anyway, the above code will unfortunatelly NOT validate the fields! So it would be possible for a user to register without filling those fields in …

    Yeah, you tell me how happy I was as I realized that!
    1 more day lost with this s*, but eventually found a workaround (I am sure it’s not the perfect solution, but at least it’s SOMETHING!)

    So in order to have the required fields really checked, please add this to your header:

    `

    $(document).ready(function() {
    $(“#signup_form”).validate();
    });

    `
    where signup_form is the id of your form (

    ). If your form has an other id please remember to change accordingly.

    Now go to each form field in your form and add this class:

    ` class=”” `

    example:
    ` <input type="text" name="” id=”” value=”” class=””/> `

    And VERY important, around line 150, see that you have added this piece of code (basically replacing / expanding that `<input type="hidden" name="signup_profile_field_ids" id="signup_profile_field_ids" value="” />`)

    `

    <input type="hidden" name="signup_profile_field_ids" id="signup_profile_field_ids" value="” />`

    So that was it, now it should work. Unlike the buddypress gurus out there, I didn’t want to leave any of you in “half darkness”, so I came back to post the solution I found.

    I hope it will help you, even though it’s just a workaround, and I am 100% sure there must be a much more elegant solution than this.

    But as I said, as the buddypress gurus could not care less about poor users who struggle to get that bpress working as it should, a “second best” solution is always better than NO solution!

    I’m importing a Ning site with about 800 users/members. I have a number of custom (about 20) profile fields and photos that members have uploaded to their profiles. Additionally, some of the members have added their own content. The problem is, however, that the importer is acting like it works…the data appears to be in the BuddyPress system but it does not reflect on the following:

    1) BuddyPress members are able to login, but they can’t access any content that is marked “private” through the “private community” plug-in. The error that they receive is that they must login to view the content, but they already ARE logged in.

    2) None of the user/members custom profile fields, photos (e.g. profile photos) or user/member content displays.

    I will happily pay someone (e.g. someone who is a BuddyPress programmer who understands the bugs I’m referencing) to troubleshoot this…please get in touch with me. Thanks!

    I´m looking for the same kind of thing as Natasha but just different environment (university).
    Has anybody gone further on a real case (solution) and any piece of code that might be picked up as a starter.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi everybody. Has anypne made any advance on this? I´d love to make something as the example that Rlwpub2 presents but for a university, so the first set of options would be teacher / student and then particular profile options for each of them.
    Thanks in advance for any help you may supply.

    I installed a plugin called confirm registration which is outdated, but works well in WordPress 3.1.2
    and what it does holds new users account in pending until an administrator approves it.

    Well when you go in to approve the users you can only see the email and username. I want to
    be able to see the group(s) that they are trying to join as well.

    To show the username: php echo display_name ?>
    To show the email : php echo user_email ?>

    To show the groups they are in: ???
    To show the role (membership type): ????

    hmm … I am afraid that plugin does smth. else, namely automatically registering a new user to a group, but what we meant here were the registration fields from xprofile.

    Actually, I figured out a way to have them displayed, although there’s a lot of css fun you’ll have afterwords :-)

    In register.php you should look for this
    “

    and replace with this
    “

    This will display all the fields, but you’ll still miss the Title of each group.

    To get that displayed, you can do this:

    Look for
    “

    and just above it place this: `

    `

    That should do the trick.

    It’s a dirty hack from a no-programmer, so please do not criticize. As anyone can notice, no programmer / developer ever cared to offer any help with this.
    Actually very annoying that no one frm the development team ever thought about it, leave alone giving a hand here …

    Hope you’ll find the trick useful though

    Anyone managed to come up with a solution to this?
    It’s a bit lack of logic to allow fields to be set as required in the backend but never show them to the user when registering … what kind of required fields are they than?

    Thank you!

    I have the same problem – latest BP / WP (3.1.2) versions installed. Fact is that in the buddypress “Profile Field Setup” you are allowed to create different groups of fields and set for each field if it’s required or not.
    BUT, all fields other than those from the 1st group are NOT considered in the registration process!
    The email is apparently sent once the user completed only the 1 step, and it just stops after asking the user to upload a photo.

    So basically, the extra group fields (no matter how “required” they might be) are fully IGNOFRED in the registration process!

    Anyone please help?
    This is a buggy

    Thank you!

    It should have been handled by something like stripslashes when redisplaying. The backslash is an escape character to prevent the ‘ being seen as part of the script syntax and tripping things up or entering characters into the DB that could be mischievous.

    You don’t say what versions of things you are running but if latest you might want to enter a bug ticket on the trac system using your BP login credentials.

    Hello,

    I have a custom select box profile field and one of the values has a (‘) in it.

    I.E. “besoin d’aide”

    Now it displays in the drop down select box as: “besoin d’aide”

    How can I hide that backslash?

    Thanks,
    C.
