Anyone have any ideas as to how to sort the members list by a certain profile criteria? For example if I’d like to show users of only a certain type (example: buyer / seller) how would I do so?
Also Is there a way to setup a second stage to the sign up process and actually require different classes of users to fill out divergent profile fields? (ie: require a buyer to fill in different info than a seller)
I’m not sure how complex this implementation will get – Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Topic: Spam Blogs
Buddypress 1.2.4.1 and WordPress MU 2.9.2
I am constantly getting attacked by Spam Blogs registering to my site and creating blogs.
I have done the following:
Modified the .htaccess file with the code that is supposed to stop them
Edited the fileds on my registration page
Changed my registration slugUse the following Plugins:
1. Akismet
2. Bad Behavior
3. WP-Ban
4. WP-SpamFree
5. WPMU-Block-Spam-By-Math
6. WPMU Super Captcha
7. Invitation Code CheckerI also have required fields in my buddypress profile.
What’s happening is these spam blogs are signing up, but somehow bypassing all the required fields. When I look at their profile, the only field filled in is their username. How is this happening? Is there some sort of backdoor signup page that I missing?
When I go to try and signup and leave fields blank it won’t let me on my registration page. So this is just puzzling me.
I have all this protection, but there is a hole somewhere that they are squeezing through. I have googled wordpress spam blogs and followed all the steps in the guides and still, they get in. The only way to stop this is to de-activate people from joining. Which is not what I want to do. I want real people to join.

I eagerly look forward to more help on this.
Basic info about my site:
WP version 2.9.2
BP Version 1.2.4.1
installed in Subdirectory
Using standard BuddyPress theme#1 – How do I change the linking and URL structure?
I have my site installed in a directory /WPplatform/ and have wordpress setup so it is my main website (meaning go to example.com and it is the blog). I did this by moving the .htaccess file and the index.php file to the root directory. This made is that at no time did it ever so the directory structure in the URL, so all the URLs left out the /WPplatform/ part, example, if you went to a category it was example.com/category/ (which still words).
After installing BP many links (not all but many of the main ones BP created) link using the directory structure like /WPplatform/members/, even the main link to my home page is /WPplatform (which is a 404 page).
How do I set it up that the BP plugin does not show or link to any part of my site with the /WPplatform/ in the URL?
#2 – How do I only show base information in profile, but not additional fields I added?
I want to setup the profile page in a way that when an NON logged in person veiws a members profile page they only see the base information and not the additional fields I created. I created these fields in a different field group.So…
Field group A – shows to non-logged visitors
Field Group B – closed to members onlyIs this possible? Anyone know were to even start trying to do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Topic: Yet another splog question…
Hi all,
As are most of us, I’m continually faced with the nuisance of splog signups. My site has not yet gone public, so I’m not deluged with them at the moment. But I do anticipate a day when my site is so popular (one can dream…) that it attracts the sploggers to what they may perceive as a potential link-stuffing goldmine.
We’re faced with 2 types of sploggers – bots & a**holes (sorry, I mean humans). The stubbornly annoying human sploggers will always be around, and will always have to be dealt with by manually deleting and blocking. The upcoming “Report Spam” features/plugins discussed elsewhere in these forums will hopefully help our users join the fight.
That leaves us to deal with the bots. To prevent the plague, I’ve implemented 3 things which, until recently, have worked flawlessly:
1 – Installed WP-Super-Captcha http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/super-capcha/
2 – Created a membership options page where users are directed when clicking any “Signup” link/button (this page must be visited before the register page).
3 – Changed the name/slug of the register page where users are sent when clicking a “Create a free account” link/button (links to the register page are found only on the membership options page).The above had effectively stopped the bots dead in their tracks. But there seems to be now something new in the “enemy’s” arsenal. I’m getting the occasional signup where only the Name (core field) is being filled in – out of three required profile fields in my Base Group.
My question then is double-barreled: does anyone have any idea as to how are “they” getting around “required” fields on the register page, and how that can be prevented?
We’re trying to figure out a way to show tags from an extended profile field on the sidebar. So tags from ALL site members in the category “skills” would show up as a clickable tag cloud which would link to a member list page with users having this skill.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hello,
I’ll break this down into 2 parts.
xProfile Custom Fields
I’ve looked around and can’t seem to find the solution to my problem.Basically what I’m trying to do is display a Headline at the top of my users profile if they have filled out the custom profile field, if they haven’t filled it out yet then I wanted to display their fullname. Sounds easy right? Yeah but I can’t seem to get it right.. I can get it to display just the username but when it displays the headline it’s also displaying the username.
I’m also doing this outside of the profile_loop.php it’s inside the profile.php using a highly edited version of the cosmicbuddy template. If anyone could help me I’d greatly appreciate it!
Here is an example of what I want the page to display and what my code some-what looks like:
if bp_profile_field_data( ‘field=Headline’ ) is filled out (this is the line i’m having problems with)
bp_profile_field_data( ‘field=Headline’ ); display headline
else
bp_user_fullname(); display fullname
endif
Profile User Css Customization
With myspace and other popular social networks around users want to be able to customize their profile to be unique from other users. I find that this also makes them more active on their profile as well as the website.I’m trying to do the same thing with CSS by letting the user edit their profile page background using div style. I have it working and here is the code I used along with adding the appropriate xprofile custom fields:
<div style=”background-color:<?php bp_profile_field_data( ‘field=Background Color’ ); ?>”>
This is just a small snippet of what I want to achieve, I’ve also created background-image, background-repeat, etc. You would need to create an xprofile field called Background Color and the user would need to type either the color word or an HTML color such as #FF0000 which is Red. Then you would have to place the div into your template wherever you want them to change the background color then close the div.
I’m new to buddypress and I’d call myself a beginner in php so I’m sure there are much better ways to go about this, I simply want to share what I’ve thought up so far and see what others have to say about this.
Ideally I would like to display the background color if only they have entered anything into the field so it would look like..
<div style=”
if bp_profile_field_data( ‘field=Background Color’ ); is filled in
then display background-color: bp_profile_field_data( ‘field=Background Color’ );
endif
“>Another thing I’m trying to do is allow the user to display a banner above their profile if they specify the URL in the custom profile field. The problem I’m having is getting it to display a specific width and height without creating a blank banner space on another users profile that has no image. If i just put the profile field it doesn’t assign a width and height to the URL which means they could put any size of image.
It would have to look something like
if bp_profile_field_data( ‘field=Banner Image’ ); is filled in
then display <div style=”width: 600px; height: 100px;”> <img src=” bp_profile_field_data( ‘field=Banner Image’ ); “> </div>
endifSo hopefully someone can have some input on anything I’ve mentioned above ;
