Topic: Search Query and MySQL help
I’m attempting to make a custom search page that lets users browse through the members directory based on certain custom xprofile fields that they select in the search form. I have 3 custom xprofile fields: Member Type, Gender, and Location. With the way the database table (bp_xprofile_data) is setup, all of those values (under the ‘value’ column) are stored in different rows within the same table with corresponding xprofile ID’s (under the ‘field_id’ column).
For the life of me, I can’t figure out how to filter results based on these multiple parameters when they aren’t listed within the same row, but are listed within the same table. For example, normally I would simply query “SELECT user_id FROM bp_xprofile_data WHERE xprofile1=’General’ AND xprofile2=’Male’ AND xprofile3=’Los Angeles'”…..but I can’t do that because of the way the table is setup and the info is organized.
So how do I format the query? Do I need to use subqueries (if so…I’m lost on where to go with those!)? To sum up: How do I filter search results from bp_xprofile_data through a MySQL query matching multiple xprofile values?
I’ve been working on this for 4 hours and I’ve done more research than I care to admit, especially because this is probably a much easier solution than I realize. Any help would make you the coolest person alive. Seriously!
We want to be able to dynamically create new profile fields:
e.g. we have a set of profile fields for employment: employer name, dates employed, etc.
When the user enters one set of employment fields, we want to create another set, so they can enter a second employer, and a third employer and so on.
Creating as many set of fields as the user needs for all his employers. (this is pretty much the way Facebook or LinkedIn works)
It looks to me like we need either arrays of profile groups, or a way to dynamically create fields.
Any thoughts on how to do this in BuddyPress?
Topic: Admin bar links not working
1. Everything on the admin bar is not working.
No profiles for any members, it just goes back to the members list, the URL changes but it does not display/
same thing happens when you click on edit profile2. When you login from the homepage. The enter username and password fields do not change to the logout button, but once you click on “activity” or “members” it shows that you are logged in

I have a function that add some custom profile fields in to the user profile in the backend wp-admin/profile.php. This is WordPress only so do not get confused.
here you can find the function
http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/09/10/adding-and-using-custom-user-profile-fields
There are four actions added.
add_action( ‘show_user_profile’, ‘user_show_define_category’ );
add_action( ‘edit_user_profile’, ‘user_show_define_category’ );
add_action( ‘personal_options_update’, ‘user_save_define_category’ );
add_action( ‘edit_user_profile_update’, ‘user_save_define_category’ );The function will add a input field into the backend user profile of WP. /wp-admin/profile.php
What i am looking for are the equivalents of the WP show_user_profile, edit_user_profile, personal_options_update and edit_user_profile_update for Buddypress.
So that the input field will show up on the frontend profile in g.e. /members/username/profile and /members/username/profile/edit/group/1
so
instead off
add_action( ‘show_user_profile’, ‘user_show_define_category’ );
something like
add_action( ‘show_buddypress_user_profile’, ‘user_show_define_category’ );

Is there a way to remove the counts next to the Friends and Groups fields in each member’s profile?
Thanks
Topic: Registration-Profle fields
I’ve found quite a few posts on registration and profile fields but none exactly about my problem (which makes me think I’m missing something very basic or others would have posted about it.)
I’m running WP+Buddypress both current.
In the WP Profile there are separate fields for User Name, First Name, Last Name and Nick name with the ability to choose which you wish displayed. If these fields are changed in the WP Profile they are displayed properly in BuddyPress. But I see no way to allow users to access these fields in their Edit Profile page in BP or more importantly to include them in the BP registration form.
I definitely need the First Name and Last Name fields to be separate as they are in the WP profile and I want to allow users to choose what form of name is displayed.
Is anyone familiar with this issue?
Is there something basic I’m missing about the integration of WP and BP?
Any links to suggested sources or other guidance greatly appreciated.
I’ve been messing around trying to get a custom second page working in the registration and have run into some issues. Basically I used the bp_complete_signup hook to change the registration step ( $bp->signup->step = ‘example-step’
and then added an if statement to the register.php file to detect the step and display a second set of xprofile fields (by changing the xprofile group #) – things work fine and dandy till here, problem is getting submit to work a second time and register the fields in the db and set the step to the final ‘completed-confirmation’.This should be pretty standard for someone wanting to add additional profile info to registration that isn’t in the “base” profile group.
Right now it refuses to complete the second step. ( I think because the step is not incremented properly)
Also Is it a problem to edit core files directly – sometimes the hooks won’t cut it. How will such edit work with updates?
Thanks for any and all help!
