I am definitely interested in this too. Taking it a step further, it would be nice to make users complete a full profile for the site after logging in through Facebook. Right now the WP-FB-autoconnect works great, creates the user and logs them in – but then it brings them back to the homepage without filling out the rest of their profile.
When you create an account in BP without logging in through facebook, the BP registration page asks users to complete all the required and optional fields in the profile – but I haven’t found a way to do this with Facebook, it just gives them a user name and logs them in. So I think what would need to happen is that after the facebook connect, the registration process isn’t complete – it points them back to the BP registration page (or something like it) where they can finish entering other required and optional fields.
Any ideas on how this might work?
A workaround might be that on the *first* login only, the user is redirected to the edit profile page, and on subsequent logins they’re redirected to the homepage and logged in normally.
I have the same requirements. I guess I am not advanced enough to use the solution posted above. I tried messing with the solution above but am really getting nowhere. Can you elaborate on this? Does anybody else have a solution?
Hey. So my site has 5 different ‘Sets’ of Profile Fields.
The thing is at the end of filling out each set, in addition to the ‘save changes’ button,
I would like a ‘next’ button which will take the user to the next set of profile fields.
Instead of having to scroll up and select the next set of profile fields to fill out.
What would be the php code for this and how could I insert it?
Thanks in advance!
When users add a new group, there are required fields for Street, Postal Code, City, and Country. But, most groups are virtual and without a specific location. How can I make these fields not required?
Also, I use a “Location” field that I have a separate code to load maps on my users’ profile pages. It would be much better to simply have a “Location” box – not required – for groups.
Are there settings somewhere that I am missing? Thanks!
btw, still on BP 1.2.7
Take a look at xprofile_insert_field() in xprofile.php
I’m working on a plugin that pulls data from some custom profile fields, but it requires the fields be named a specific way. Rather than depending on the site admin to name the fields correctly, is it possible to have the plugin create the custom profile fields? What hook would I use and does anyone have any working code for doing this?
I’m sampling with the buddypress right now and I created some make-believe user accounts that I would like to get rid of.
Now, I haven’t created anything else under these user accounts: in other words, no groups, friends..etc. The only thing that is extra is the xprofile data.
I’ve noticed that the database fields associated with xprofile data and basic user membership are: wp_bp_xprofile_data, wp_usermeta, and wp_users. How are these fields linked to each other per user? Do I have to just go in and figure out what fields to delete and what not to delete?
The issue is that I wp_users is laid out simple and I can delete users from there, but I’m noticing all of these different wp_usermeta fields per user and I don’t want to delete the “admin” information…
When I set up my profile fields, I chose the “datepicker” type to have my users’ birthdays saved. (It’s also a required field for registration). But when I pick my correct birthdate, it displays on the public profile as one day prior to the actual date selected.
Any idea how to fix this?
No plugin exists for this at the moment.
This has to be manually coded. If you’re a plugin developer, check out this codex article:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/
And also check out the groupmeta functions in /bp-groups.php.
There are a few threads about this on buddypress.org. I’d suggest doing a search on Google.
An example can be found here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/profile-fields-for-groups#post-78706
It should be
`echo bp_member_profile_data(‘field=province’); `
And another bump!
I am still stuck on this, searching specific x-profile fields and excluding others
PLEASE HELP!!!
Just started up Buddypress and Easy Albums. All ok except for no ability for a visitor / friend to ’register’, ’create account’ or ’sign up’ in the Members fields.
I have icons of Newest – Active and Popular but nothing for visitors to register and create profile. Currently I am the only one listed on site as a member with ability to create / edit my profile. Am I missing something obvious?
Can someone tell me where to start at getting a registration Sign up function operating?
This way when you set up textarea profile fields for say “Movies”, each line would be a searchable item and could help users find other like minded folks. As it is now, the entire textarea data is one link and the entire set is attempted as a search which will never garner hits.
“I don’t believe it does anything in BuddyPress itself.”
I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you mean with this line. From my understanding, every action has a function associated with it somewhere in the BuddyPress files. The line `do_action(‘bp_after_signup_profile_fields’)` (in the register.php file), seems like it does something like in the registration process…maybe some sort of an evaluation to make sure the user is ready for the next step…whatever that something is I’m trying to figure it out…
Now, I’m not familiar with “grep” and never used it. You say that it’ll tell me all of the instances of that text. Does that give me the function(s) associated with that action?
Use grep. That’s what I do. From the UNIX or Mac Terminal command line, cd to your buddypress installation directory. Then:
`grep -nR ‘bp_after_signup_profile_fields’ ./`
That’ll tell you all the locations of all the instances of that text.
In the case of this particular do_action, I am pretty sure it is just there for the use of other plugins. I don’t believe it does anything in BuddyPress itself.
Is there a reference that gives me the functions associated with certain actions? or do I have to search through all of the buddypress files? I’m looking for the function associated with
`do_action( ‘bp_after_signup_profile_fields’ )` as well as a several other registration actions.
Hi there,
I’m using the plugin Buddypress Profile Privacy for controling who could view which profile fields on the profile page.
What I need now is a way/plugin to control who can edit certain profile fields and when (during registration & on the profile page)… Is this possible?
Cheers
Adam
A user needs to fill in these fields in order for them to show up on their profile page.
The profile page can usually be found here:
example.com/members/USERNAME/profile/
Need to be a little more explicit with info please. You added extended xprofile fields, with new group or under the base group? What versions of BP and WP are you running? Are you using a custom theme? If you are can you try deactivating it and using the BP-default theme and verify whether the same problem still manifests.
I had users fill in several fields that I added through buddypress admin when they signed up. Where are these?? From front-end, when click on a user name those fields do not appear anywhere. Am I missing something? How can I display this information on each person’s “profile” page?
I followed the latter of the suggestion..it was the easiest because all of the conditional statements are to much to follow…but the error I’m getting now is
`Fatal error: Call to a member function profile_groups() on a non-object in /home/content/s/o/c/socialowner/html/21andolder/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-templatetags.php on line 160`
I’m researching this error as I speak…
To find the profile group id, navigate to “BuddyPress > Profile Field Setup”.
Then under the profile group you want, hover over the “Edit” or “Delete” link.
You should see a link that looks like this:
`/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-profile-setup&mode=edit_group&group_id=2`
“group_id” is the variable you’re looking for.
—
The alternative is to remove the `’profile_group_id=1’` declaration in the register template, that should show all profile fields that you have created.
I created a second group in the admin panel called “Professional Information” and I noticed that the code says:
`
…(whatever)
`
where I think profile_group_id=1 is the first group….so I created another group in the admin panel and began adding fields..so I figured I need add a conditional that says:
` if ( bp_has_profile( ‘profile_group_id=2’ ) )`
but I know that the second group isn’t identified by “id” because the code isn’t reading any
tags that I place after the conditional statement..it just jumps/skips to the bottom and adds the submit button…
so how do I identify additional groups in the admin panel for the register fields?
No, uploading an avatar is the second step in the registration process. Once a user fills out the form on your signup page (filling in all the fields you define in “Profile Field Setup – Base Group”) and clicks the “Complete Sign Up” button, the next page they see will allow them to upload their avatar. Users can also change their avatar right in their member’s profile after they have registered on your site.
after they sign up the xprofile fields there is a second screen that asks to upload an avatar.
