Yes. Have a test install of BuddyPress and look at the “Profile Field Setup” menu item underneath the main “BuddyPress” menu in wp-admin to see what you can do with the profile fields.

Per my previous post, the registration form is at /bp-default/registration/register.php. Copy that into your (child?) theme, preserving directory structure.

I would suggest you use the BuddyPress Profile Fields to record this information — you can view the template used on the registration screen at bp-default/registration/register.php. You can then pull the information out of BuddyPress and just feed the variables to your existing “grab content” query.

See xprofile_get_field_data() in /buddypress/bp-xprofile.php how to retrieve/set this information programatically.

What are you going to use the extra usermeta for? If you just need an easy way to store and retrieve some data about individual users, then using BP xprofile fields is really the easiest way to go – they can be created in the Dashboard, and all the registration markup & save/retrieve functions are all built in. If, on the other hand, you’ve already built a bunch of custom functions to query across usermeta, then it’s probably best to keep what you’ve got (saving in wp_usermeta) and hook some functions into the BP registration process.

Where can I change the format of the date in users profile. It appears in English, but I would prefer only digits like j/m/Y ?

I use this little plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/

The description is not really that helpful. basically you can define certain xprofile fields to link directly to external URLs. e.g youtube, facebook, twitter, external website….etc etc

you need to manually alter the .php file in the instruction but this is very simple to do and it comes with a few stock media sites setup already.
Very good and very simple

In the wp-admin panel, go to the buddypress tab on the right, see where it says “profile field setup”?

This is the code i have to modify:
```
<?php         /***
* If you'd like to show specific profile fields here use:
* bp_profile_field_data( 'field=About Me' ); -- Pass the name of the field
*/
?>

So what i have to have at the end? I suppose:

<?php bp_profile_field_data( 'field=FieldName' ); ?>

Hi Yall,
I’m having the strangest problem. I have a buddypress profile at ‘mysite.com/members/username’, but every time I save the WP profile ( we are still using that and cimy extra fields ), the permalink for the user adds a ‘-2’.
It’s happened several times.
username-2-2-2-2-2-2 is not cool, huh?

Anyone point me in the right direction here? I’m puzzled!

Hi All,

New here – sorry if it’s the wrong section!

First time experimenting with BuddyPress but I’ve used wordpress many times before.

I need to be able to moderate any user fields that my users have. I’ve read that you can moderate anything on Buddypress but am stuck on this.

Dont mind if its a plugin! Just need to moderate any field in the user profile.

Thanks in advance,

On my buddpress site I’ve got some custom profile fields, one of which being a selectbox. I tried to add an extra couple options to the field, but upon saving I got the error message “There was an error saving the field. Please try again”.

And when I went to edit it again, all of the previous options had disappeared.

Any idea how I can resolve this?

In reply to: Can BuddyPress registration be separate from site registration?

Paul Wong-Gibbs
Keymaster

Thanks for the heads-up, @gunju2221

If by “BuddyPress profile”, you mean the fields and groups you have configured in the xprofile settings screen, then yes it’s certainly technically possible because site admins can create new user accounts without having to complete BuddyPress profiles. I’m not sure how to practically do this, however. Would need to try and find out.

Try to see if there’s a user registration widget (i.e. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/registration-form-widget/ — not tested) and see if it works and does what you want it to do.

(To clarify, there’s no difference between a “WordPress user” and a “BuddyPress”, both are the same.)

I apologize for the different threads, but I had a few different questions and wanted to keep them separate for organization’s sake.

So I’ve found several threads that provide a means to do this, but none were quite what I was looking for. Being a PHP N00B, this may be the simplest question you all see today

I want to (if the field has a value) output specific profile fields on the members’ directory/search result list.

Two of the Profile fields (custom) are Stylist’s Salon Name and Relationship Status.

I have a feeling the Stylist’s Salon Name also isn’t working because of the apostrophe. I looked in the DB and the field name value is:
Stylist’s Salon Name.

As for Relationship Status, the value outputs, but not the strong tags and “Relationship Status:”.

Salon:

Relationship Status:

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone! I hope you are all experiencing the New Year to the fullest.

I am working on a site for Hair Stylists and Salons. Here’s what I’ve got going on:

WordPress 3.0.4
BuddyPress 1.2.6

I am using profile fields to determine a member type (stylist, salon, client).

Is there a way to automatically create a group for the stylist or salon when they sign up?

I assume I would have to:
1) Check the field value to see if they are a salon or stylist.
2) Call a create group function, assigning the member as the admin and assigning the group properties (name, etc).

Has anyone done something similar?

Thanks in advance!

There is a plugin for a photo, gallery, /audio that hookes into their profile.

When users edit their profile, if you add custom profile fields via admin, every word they fill out will become a tag to member searches and inquiries, so lets say a member puts in their location as “Kentucky” If any such user would to search on the site “kentucky” that member would pop up.

For the chat, I would recommend evolve chat.

“It seems silly that a “universal” field like a profile field wouldn’t update it in all circumstances across user profiles. Why is that?”

Think of an option field as a stencil, and think of the database as the surface you paint onto through the stencil. When you change the stencil, it doesn’t automatically go back and repaint all the previous surfaces. You would have to go back and re-paint them yourself, which would be like doing an update on the database. No way to avoid it.

Hi all,

I’m trying to create a custom profile section that users could have multiple instances of. Being a relative newbie with BP, I’d value some advice on the best way to go about it. There may also be a plugin for this that I’m not aware of. I’m familiar with coding for WordPress.

Specifically, I’m trying for a group of profile fields that together describe an item. I would then like a “new item” link, which would provide another set of the same fields to describe an additional item. A user would have as many instances of these items as they like.

I’ve played around with the custom profile fields a little, and looked at the database tables involved. It’s a little overwhelming, though!

Thanks for any thoughts.

@techguy Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m hoping to avoid. Not because it wouldn’t work, but it just gets messy.

It seems silly that a “universal” field like a profile field wouldn’t update it in all circumstances across user profiles. Why is that?

I think a query on the database is likely going to be the only solution that I can think of for this.

Bump. Any thoughts on this?
