    Seems simple enough. You can disable a lot of the functionality you don’t want in the admin.

    The custom parts will be the profile itself, but you should be able to do this pretty nicely using the xProfile fields without too much custom work on your end. You might also have to build a custom search to search through those profile fields, but there are a number of plugins you can look at to build out that functionality.

    I’d consider using s2member as the payment method for people signing up. That should work for what you want I think.

    As a side note, I’ve created a sports website that teams can use to fundraise called Giving Sports: http://givingsports.com Athlete profiles is not the core of the site, but each athlete just gets a profile as a means to fundraise for their team. It will be interesting to see how that evolves over time since athlete profiles are valuable and interesting.

    Disallowing bots to follow the signup page link (nofollow on the link), changing the default signup slug and adding new profile fields really really does help. And no plugins either.

    You’re on single WP with BP installed so that BP Profile widget won’t work for you, I should have asked that sooner. In any case, since you have installed BP, you can easily add the fields you want your users to fill in via dashboard > BuddyPress > Profile Field Setup.

    I’m no xprofile field expert, but can’t you just create a page template, have the page template go through the user loop and on each loop display each of the xprofile fields that you want for that user in a table. Copy the table to excel and you’ve got it. There are other ways, but that seems like the simplest to me.

    It does require you to understand the user loop and displaying the xprofile fields, but that can be modified from the list of members page and the profile page which displays the xprofile data.

    Or you could hire someone like Paul or Boone or other BP developer who could probably crank this out pretty quickly.

    Our nonprofit organization is using Buddypress for our Student Program’s online community. We are also using it to gather all of the student members’ vital information—contact info, university, major, etc.—using many extended profile fields, some required, some not. We’ve put many hours/weeks/months into creating and promoting this online community, but have come to realize that there is apparently no way to export the data we collected into a usable format.

    The users’ data is stored in three different tables in the SQL database: wp_users (with the basic login info), wp_bp_xprofile_fields (with the labels of the extended profile fields), and wp_bp_xprofile_data (with the actual extended profile field data). We need the data in either a single Excel spreadsheet or Access database (ultimately the data goes into our Raiser’s Edge and Convio databases). Currently we can export the three tables as individual spreadsheets, but have not been able to then combine the data into one usable document, with the Profile/Extended Profile Field labels across the top row, and all the data (from the wp and bp data tables) for each user across one line in the spreadsheet.

    In the absence of any built-in functionality or plugin, I assume we need to write a SQL query of some kind that does the following:
    1 – copies wp_users into a new table.
    2 – adds new columns to this table for every field from wp_bp_xprofile_fields where wp_bp_xprofile_fields/type value is other than “option” (“textbox”, “selectbox”, etc.).
    3 – takes value from wp_bp_xprofile_data/value and adds it to the correct user in the correct column:
    3a – wp_bp_xprofile_data/user_id corresponds to wp_users/ID
    3b – wp_bp_xprofile_data/field_id corresponds to wp_bp_xprofile_fields/id
    3c – Whenever wp_bp_xprofile_fields/type value is “option”, wp_bp_xprofile_data/field_id will instead correspond to wp_bp_xprofile_fields/parent_id

    However, I don’t know much at all about SQL queries. Has anyone had any luck exporting the user data in this (or any other) way? Does anyone have any ideas that could point me in the right direction?

    I would like add 2 new profile fields (either in Base or as a new Field Groups, doesn’t matter).
    I’d like these fields to be displayed in the member profile pages and search results so they can be searched on directly.
    E.G. Dave has noted himself as a ‘Plumber’ in the profile field ‘Profession’. Search for ‘dave’. It returns a list with Dave in it, and in the column ‘Profession’ he is a ‘Plumber’. Click on ‘Plumber’ and it finds all plumbers.

    Is this possible? Any pointers as to which files and functions I should be using?

    I have a following situation:
    I’m running a BuddyPress Social Network and using the default “Full Name” field as First Name for registration. I also added a mandatory custom field called Last Name… So, the members profile page looks like it should.

    My question:
    How can I use the current field configuration to display members Full Names (using both fields)?

    As far as I know, there is no automatic matching plugin based on a user’s profile fields.

    However, users can manually search for other members.

    Use the BP profile search plugin for more fine-tuned searches:

    I’ve been looking, and playing around with different modules to accomplish the following to no avail. As a community music site I want logged in users to click any user avatar and be directed to the users activity stream such as mysite/members/%username%, this works as I like, this is the location that shows the user profile, and the first tab is the personal tab. However, when a person, someone who is not logged in, or who does not have an account to my site, clicks a users avatar. This person needs to be directed to that users mysite/members/%username%/profile url. This is the display area that shows the public tab. This is the part I need to figure out somehow, or another option would be to have the public tab somehow show up on the activity stream display as well. This public tab is what shows all of the extra fields a person can create, and only serves a useful purpose to those first time viewers, and people not registered to my site, such as bio etc, and of course the users themselves. Appreciate any help on this, thanks

    Couple of thoughts that may help:

    Have your profile fields got different IDs on the new server?
    What version of BP were you on on the original server?

    Hi there,
    Somewhere in moving from one server to another, a bit of template code I’ve written has stopped working. In short, it seems like the bp_get_member_profile_data/bp_member_profile_data functions have stopped working — and thus I’m unable to make the members-loop.php display my custom fields. See: http://pastebin.com/bUUVWBPx starting at line 64.

    To make this even weirder, the profile-loop displays the fields fine (I’m guessing because they’re done via a while loop, maybe?).

    This is driving me crazy and is the last thing I need to do before being finished this project. Anyone have a clue what might be causing this? Any help you can give me will be much appreciated.

    Edit: I’m using WP 3.02 and BP1.2.6

    Hi im trying to do a check on a xprofile field “Gender” as i want to have a different default avatar depending on whether the user is male or female, i have the following code which doesnt seem to work (it displays female avatar for both).

    Im guessing you cant check xprofile feilds like this in bp-custom.php, can anyone point me in the right direction on how i can accomplish this?

    Thanks in adavnce for any help.

    Regards

    Tony

    `function myavatar_add_default_avatar( $url )
    {
    global $bp;
    if (bp_get_profile_field_data(‘field=Gender’) === “Male”) :
    return get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .’/_inc/images/default_avatar_male.jpg’;
    else:
    return get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .’/_inc/images/default_avatar_female.jpg’;
    endif;
    }
    add_filter( ‘bp_core_mysteryman_src’, ‘myavatar_add_default_avatar’ );`

    I’m dealing with a very similar scenario. I have a similar amount of traffic, and will get some unexplained spikes in memory usage that take my server down.

    It’s pretty much impossible to diagnose the problem in development, as it really seems to be tied to our peak traffic times.

    Does anyone have any good direction they can point me for simulating load?

    Good idea with the wp-cache concept. My database traffic doesn’t seem to be dreadful, but it couldn’t hurt to back-off on the queries.

    Plugins are:
    Akismet
    AudioPlayer
    BuddyPress
    BuddyPress Profile Privacy
    Featured Content Gallery
    MagicFields
    Gravity Forms
    WP-FB-Autoconnect

    Hi guys,
    I LOVE the plugin, BP -Profile search.

    It enables you to search for members across any number of profile fields and goes far beyond the normal search capabilities for BP.

    The only thing is, on my site the search form is very large and takes up too much space.
    See http://www.actonthis.co/members/

    Is there anyway to control this form by ajax so that you click a button and then the form drops down? It would be exactly like posting a forum topic or creating a group from the forum or group directory so I know it’s possible, but i don’t know how to code it.

    Does anyone know how to do this or indeed are willing to do it if we can get some funds together from the users of this plugin?
    THANKS! :)

    I fixed most of mine by adding a few fields in the Profile Field Setup. I added City, State ( as a dropdown menu and a zipcode. I got rid of 70% just from this. also, I have seen in my log files they are searching for
    “yes i d like to create a new blog”
    “registering for this site is easy just fill in the fields below and we ll get a new account set up for you in no time yes i d like to create a new blog”
    “intext yes i d like to create a new blog blog with wordpress inurl register”
    “i d like to create a new blog”

    maybe someone can tell us where this text lives so we can remove these tags from the search engines. just by this they are able to see all wordpress sites. I tried it with google and it does work.
