@johanna75 – We do need some kind of universal “display public ok” field perhaps?

Some people have fields set to ‘friends only’ – so things in search should only display to them.

Bp has a thing in it when a user is marked as spam, then they are only visible to admins – so I think this kind of functioning is half in there already.

Would be nice for the buddyblock and rtmedia plugins to also consider this visibility thing, and for buddyblock to be able to conditionally affect that as well.

I could see the need for someone to hide certain things from the public and from specific people – what a nightmare it is when things that were assumed secret pop up in search results.. I had this happen with a wp install – pages published but password protected – well either the theme, or the post teaser plugin pulled data from those non public pages and put them smack in the public search results.

Luckily the bp profile search pluing (that I also use – it’s great!) – is under active development – (I see the author has responded to the support forum on wp repo saying it is an issue that is under consideration, but bp does the same thing – so it’s no different in the privacy regard) wonder if we could ping the other bp peeps and rtmedia and buddyblock peeps tp put some heads together on this..

I have a similar problem right now with rtmedia not meshing with buddyblock. When a user blocks and enemy on my site – that enemy can not message them or comment on their activity – but they can harass the sh*t out of them via comments on their media.

You need to pass additional fields – and in the correct order.

with my default bp installs just about everything IS public.. it’s actually not easy to make the bp pages like activity and groups and such private.

I think most of those things are fine to be public – and people can choose to make groups members only, logged in only, or public viewable.. default is all public I think..

Most profile fields the user can choose similar privacy settings for certain fields if you allow..

Sometimes I make a group non-pulbic viewable as super admin..

I also choose a lot of things to be blocked by the robot search engine spiders – as there is no need for them to go pulling 100 pages of activity feed and such – so even though most of my BP site is publicly viewable, only about half of it is (supposed to be) crawled by the big engines – most follow the robots.txt directive – but not all..

Where did you find that code?

Have you tried to replace it by:
SELECT * FROM bp_xprofile_fields WHERE parent_id = 0 AND group_id > 1

You should see all fields, even empty ones, on the Profile > Edit page.

Empty fields will not be shown on Profile > View.
Are you sure there is data in those fields?

You could narrow down the issue by deactivating the LearnDash plugins one at a time and see if the issue persists.

You can change parameters by passing an array in your overload.

Example – you may need to change the passed values.

<?php 
$args = array(  
        'hide_empty_groups'      => false,
	'hide_empty_fields'      => false
        );
if ( bp_has_profile( $args ) ) : ?>

Hi, that’s what i expected. You’re not after coding errors, but enduser errors, ie you omitted this field…

For each xprofile field you create, BP let you select some option. Depending on them, you can see some messages when a field is left blank. These message are displayed by field type, and so far i know, there is no easy way for cibling precisely a given field once you’ve defined a field type.

The xprofile component is not such a sophisticated tool like ContactForm 7 or similar form plugins. It was created to insert more fields inside the basic WP registration page. Because of this, it is volontary left “simple”. If you need more functionnalities over your custom fields, search for a compatible form plugin who allow that.

I don’t think that BP let you do much more in matter of field option as actually. Not out of the box and not without a lot of custom coding.

I mentionned the front-end xprofile admin because you mentionned you want to delete some fields from “base” group. As site admin, you can access any user profile from front-end and modify the fields.

As site admin, you have also the possibility to access those fields from within the admin dashboard, where you can physically delete xprofile fields…

User Extended Profiles

As i don’t want to login to dropbox to see your screenshot, i ignore what you mean precisely at this time… except “delete some fields” which is, so far, enough for me.

FYI, any xprofile field goes on the registration page. And the fields themselves are in the admin under dashboard > users > xprofile fields

You say nothing about where you try to delete your fields.

So i assume you are using BuddyPress the standart way and are working as “site admin” in the backend.

Profile → Edit

Generally, when removing something comes back after you did it, it is because you forgot to save your changes. So far i know, there is no ghost or 4th dimension inside BuddyPress. 🙂

BuddyPress Members Import

In case anyone runs into this forum topic looking for a similar fix. I needed to do two more things to get this perfect (thanks @danbp for the great start).

Under each field, the default privacy is displayed, so you need to make sure that for every option you add, the default is either “All Members”, or “Only Me” so that “Everyone” doesn’t appear as a default under each field, despite the fact that you’ve hidden the option to chose it once the user hits the Change button.

Additionally, under the name field, “Everyone” is the default, and it can’t be changed. This isn’t really accurate if you site is private, so I have hidden the line that says that the Name field is visible by Everyone with an additional CSS snippet.

/* Remove Everyone option from Profile Fields to ease confusion on a private site */

li.public {display:none!important;}

@johanna75 – looks like an interesting plugin – not sure if it’s a free plugin with paid extensions, or a premium plugin altogether – or how it works- you are best off asking those plugin makers more than likely. I see they have 2 premium add on extensions that seem to fit in with what you are asking about though: the geo members directory and the xprofile fields extensioons – which seem to be priced from $29 – $130 each.

again, not sure how any of the plugin is working for you – it kind of sounds like there is some info that has been added to your member’s profiles.. and if it that’s the case – you may have some luck with adding the “bp profile search” plugin – which is free. There some quick docs on how to get it up and running on a page or wdiget with certain features -> http://dontdream.it/

That may be all you need… if not, I would cough up the money for the premium addon and ask the author of the main plugin – sounds like it’ll be faster and easier to get working..

the buddypress forums are likely going to leave you hanging with no answers if you ask about anything like plugins, themes, custom mods that are premium / aka costs money.

I’d love to know if your plugin maker there has a way to turn off the “google maps” part – I mean it sounds nice on the features page – but I’m pretty sure html5 has a geo location feature that can be tapped into without using google maps.. and if I was to use a plugin like that, I would certainly not be sacrificing my user’s privacy by using something that depended on the big G to get their data. Surely there are other ways / other options.

my 2cents.. your situations may be different
