BuddyPress.org

You could use BuddyPress’ x-profile fields to create a required, custom radio button for gender.

The hard part will be hacking the activity feed to show the pronoun differential.

You’d have to create your own function similar to Buddypress’ bp_your_or_their() function.

Then apply that function as a filter on bp_activity_content_filter.

like dateboxes? See this:

I’m not sure what you want to do, but with this code, you can get a list of the options and the amount of users who have selected the option. Note: for selectbox and radio fields only.

$field_id = 1; // this should be the id of the

// field you want, see your wp_bp_xprofile_fields

// database table to find it



global $wpdb;



$sql = "SELECT value FROM {$wpdb->base_prefix}bp_xprofile_data WHERE field_id = {$field_id} ORDER BY id DESC";

$result = $wpdb->get_col($wpdb->prepare($sql));

foreach($result as $row){

if(strlen($row) > 0){

$values[$row]++;

}

}

$i = 0;

foreach($values as $key => $value){

$i++;

if($i != 1){

echo ", ";

}

echo $key . "(" . $value . ")";

}

Ahh okay… forget my last post entirely then! haha.

Not sure if this will work at all…

$myxprofileFields = new BP_XProfile_ProfileData::get_value_byfieldname('Hair Color');



echo $myxprofileFields();

This is where my knowledge of PHP stops here!

I’m not that great with classes and objects.

Hey Chris,

I’m assuming you’re using one of the prebuilt fields called “State”.

I didn’t look too closely at the classes or template tags, but check out /buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-classes.php.

There’s a function called “get_prebuilt_field_data()” that might help you out there.

You’d have to pass the CSV file to that function, but that might help…

Another way to output the “State” data would be to parse the actual CSV itself that is used for the data. The CSV can be found in buddypress/bp-xprofile/prebuilt-fields/states.csv.

Hope that helps somewhat!

Are you using a custom theme? Have you added any required fields via the “BuddyPress > Profile Fields Setup” in WPMU’s backend?

By default, WPMU with BuddyPress installed is setup to do exactly what you are asking–have one “Username” field and one “Name” field on the signup page.

Look at /bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-signup.php. I’m not writing your code for you, but from the looks of things, I think you need to remove_action() the xprofile_add_signup_fields() call, and add_action your own version of this function, but obviously removing the avatar form field.

Best place for the code would probably be /plugins/bp-custom.php and make your add_action have a priority of 11.

I just went through this so I am a voice of experience.

Each additional profile field you add in the profile field setup is added to the xp_bp_xprofile_fields table. By default, there is only one field filled in on the wp_bp_xprofile_data table, which is the “full name.” Once you or someone else begins to add their additional information and hits save, the data table will expand and in a strange albeit normal way. The id of the user, say ‘2’ will be listed repeatedly, as they have multiple pieces of information stored. The id of the table counts sequentially, so you’ll begin to see that number grow exponentially.

Hope that helps.

Jeff, fantastic, this works.

Just to make sure I understand *why* it works… by just running the remove_filter() function in bp-custom as I was doing earlier, I guess it was running before the filter was added. What you are doing is delaying the remove_filter() call until all plugins are loaded.

Do I have that right?

Thanks very much.

Okay, thanks to Burt for waking me up enough in IRC to point out my errors, here’s what you need to place in your bp-custom.php file:

<?php

function remove_links(){

remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 2 );

}

add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'remove_links' );

?>

That should work.

I’m going to get some sleep now.
