Topic: Link Profile Field Type
I’d like to allow users to enter a URL and title on their profiles to link to their external blogs, which are going to be on a subdomain (blogs.domain.com). Currently fields are automatically converted to community searches and are not user friendly for entering URLs/titles.
Has anyone accomplished this profile field type yet or have any recommendations on how to do so?
Thanks!
Topic: missing files?
When I go into my main admin area and click on ‘buddypress’ in the site admin bar I get the following error:
Cannot load bp_core_admin_settings
Same if I go click on the bbpress forums link in the admin I get
Cannot load bp_forums_settings
finally if I click on profile fields I get
Cannot load xprofile_settings
Other than that buddypress seems ok…
Is there a fix?
Okay, these are by no means mission critical. As I just got done adding these profile fields, I thought about this and decided to throw it out there.
1) It would be great to be able to move any new filed we add to a profile up and down -within- a group and -between- groups. Say if I add a “favorite color” to Group A, but decide I want it before “favorite super hero” I’d love to be able to move it. Or if I decide that the “favorite color” field works better in Group B, I’d live to move that too.
And if I could change the order of Group A and B, etc, that would be nice too.
2) Just like you can preview themes, it would be nifty to be able to preview how the Profile page would look with all the new fields and groupings added it. Click a button and see the profile page with all those fields displayed in context.
3) Related to that, if a member of the site can change the order of how things are displayed on their profile, that would be cool tool.
None of the above are super important. Just throwing out some ideas.
Topic: Hidden Profile Fields.
In the site I currently run, we grab a lot of extra demographic information when people set up their profiles — education, income, etc. — stuff that stays in our DB but doesn’t appear on a user profile.
We’re in the process of migrating our existing site over to BP. I added all of the extra info we ask for onto the BP profile page. I’d love to be able to -hide- those fields though. There’s no reason for the general world to be able to see all the information we gathered.
As a feature request, can there be a “Don’t Display” toggle for any new fields we add? That way we can ask people for information, it stays in the DB, but on the BP Profile it won’t pop up?
Wonderful module – these profile fields. In combination with Auto-Linking profile fields can be a great way to find people on your BP site with the same interests, in the same location etc. Great way to start a focused group or, at a minimum, build your friend list for networking purposes.
One suggestion – can we consider allowing the upload of a CSV file when we select “drop-down select box” as field type? The obvious application here is the list of 50 States, 13 Canadian Provinces and Territories and the 8 Australian States/Territories but you drop-downs as a field type are also very handy if you want to control accuracy of user input so you’ll get more out of Auto-Linking later.
In regards to Auto-Linking – there really should be a selector to enable this feature for text fields and multi-line text fields.
Thoughts and feedback welcome.
Hey how do you get rid of autolinking of profile fields on buddypress.. On my network people enter all kinds of stuff on the profile, i want the clickable links for search only for some profile fields and not all of them by default.
who would search for mobile number in the profile?
Topic: Default Groups on signup
I didn’t find this question in the forums yet – otherwise, sorry!
I would need to create profile fields (or similar) that do add new members to certain groups (they choose maybe withour knowing, depending on their pick in profile fields). Is that possible? Does anyone know a solution/hack/whatever?
THANX!
Topic: show user email
I run a private community so we’d like to expose user email addresses (perhaps make it optional) in profiles. Aside form the fact that users are already a tad confused with editing email and passwords in “Settings” as opposed to “Profile” (they’ll get over it), I don’t want to have to create a custom field for email addresses, forcing users to enter their email a second time either during sign-up or after. I’d rather just expose the entered email in a profile.
Also – Any suggestions on getting custom user fields to render url’s nicely? I’d like to let people enter their web page, etc and have it show pretty as a link (doesn’t currently)
Can someone tell me how I can use some of the custom profile fields, only some the one’s I would designate, I do not want to show this data under the profile. I would like to show it on the user page, but keep it private so that only the user can see it.
Can anyone tell me where I could place a php directive to include it on the user page for user eyes only, and exclude it from the profile section, or what plugin I could use?
I see this is what calls the field data, but what can I do?
<?php bp_get_profile_header() ?>
<?php if ( function_exists(‘xprofile_get_profile’) ) : ?>
<?php xprofile_get_profile() ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php bp_core_get_wp_profile() ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you…
Hi,
i’m using Buddypress with the last version WPMU and I want to create a new profile field .CSV format (from Profile Fields Buddypress plugin) in two levels.
For example, you can see here the beginning of countries.csv content, one level:
/*
Field Name: Country
Description: Select Your Country
Author: Justin Ball, updated by phlux0r
URI: http://www.justinball.com
Version: 1.1
Types: checkbox,radio,selectbox,multiselectbox
*/
Afghanistan,AF
√Öland Islands,AX
Albania,AL
Algeria,DZ
American Samoa,AS
Andorra,AD
Angola,AO
…
You can use it to choose your country in your profile.
But I want to go further and purpose a two level field. This means, if I choose the car brand Mercedes in the list, i generate a model brand list (A-Class, B-Class, C-Class, …).
Can I do that in the same .csv file? Another solution?
Thanks. Jordan.
