Okay…I have more details from my testing. It works now, but I am not really sure WHY. It seems to me that you have to (for some reason) call the get_field_data function (even if its on a useless peice of data) before you can use the set_field_data function.

If you notice from my post above…the only thing that is different is that I have added a new variable that is simply capturing the Name field (number 1). Well when I add this:

$nametestfield = xprofile_get_field_data(1,$wpuid);

And then the set_field after it (with my age variable)…than it starts working, and the field is inputted.

SO….Is there a reason why you can’t call the set_field independently. Calling in the name is basicaly useless in the function above, but it DOES make the whole thing work for some reason.

///////////////////////////////

function BP_Insert_Test($wpuid, $age) {

$age = ‘tester gender’;

$nametestfield = xprofile_get_field_data(1,$wpuid);

echo(‘user name exists already’ . $wpuid . ‘ and userdata is ‘ . $age);

echo(‘Need Field is’ . $nametestfield);

xprofile_set_field_data(2, $wpuid, $age);

}

For some reason…no matter what I try, I can’t inject SPECIFIC variables via the xprofile_set_field_data function….I run this function (below)

ONLY AFTER running two conditionals to make sure

/////////

ONE the buddypress globals are set

and

TWO the check for the xprofile function passes

Both conditionals pass (as expected) then go to my test function below

////////

End result — The echo statement appears correctly…but nothing is appearing in the field values for the user – I am pulling my hair out??????

Sample

////////

function BP_Insert_Test($wpuid, $age) {

$age = ’22’; // Should appear in the profile

echo(‘user id is ‘ . $wpuid . ‘ and userdata is ‘ . $age);

xprofile_set_field_data(2, $wpuid, $age);

}

Any ideas?

Okay….Andy is probably busy, I didnt mean to explicitly ask Andy (only) …if anyone has any advice on this I would appreciate it!

Andy let me ask you….I am playing with the bp-facebook plugin you ported, and specifically trying to add a value to the insert function you have in there now

function bp_fbconnect_insert_data( $user_id, $usermeta )

///////I tried setting an extra value inside that function – statically for now (just for testing) right under the default “full name” insert you have in there now.

I set it up like this:

xprofile_set_field_data(‘Age’, $user_id, ‘Test’);

I have tried setting with double quotes, no quotes, and several different ways, but it never seems to insert into the “Age” field I created in Buddypress.

Any ideas whats going wrong here? I am wondering if this function isnt firing at the right time? OR maybe I am making a stupid mistake

Thoughts? Thanks

If I am sure .. I did a fresh install .. before had given me an error with the same file. but with the following function:

$fields = bp_xprofile_field_deprecated::get_signup_fields();

the error was that he was in all caps and put it in lowercase worked .. but now I get the avatar.

if I upload the files .. but I do a fresh install. bd untouched .. could be solved?

I already have is very progressed to delete it.

excuse my English is not very good

Well, I found that in the BP-blogmeta table the blog in question only had one row (last_activity), but not the Name and Description fields, so I added them manually and now they appear.

I have no idea why they were not added in the first place though…

Oh, and he was also missing from the bp_user_blogs table, have added that too and now his profile shows his blog.

Hope this can be useful for others with the same problem,

Cheers

Thanks DJ

Reinstalled bbpress once again and it seems to respond now.

Still can’t get the Profile Field questions to show up for new users.

I think I’m missing something small.

Thanks Andy, I appreciate it. I can see it now…I will dig through the bp-xprofile.php to figure out the other functions.

Thanks for the great work!

OK Andy solved this one for me in this thread. The answer is this: xprofile_get_field_data( $field_name_or_id, $user_id );

Where $user_id is (in this case) $member and $field_name_or_id is (in my case) 61. I got the number by looking at the Profile Field I was after in Firefox with the Web Developer toolbar and it showed me the number in the class. I can’t work out another way of seeing a custom profile field’s id.. Off we go!!!

Anybody???

I could really use the help please!
