Hi,

BuddyPress use templates to show his stuff.
The registration is part of WP and BP’s xprofile component add only some additionnal fields to the original register form.

If you open a template file you will see a lot of code and many lines starting by do_action( ‘something’ );

These files are all stored in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

Now you have already the where and the what. here’s the how.

To show some text on the register page you have two options:
1) altering the whole template file bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php
2) add what you want by using an action hook

The second method is the fasted and the easiest. You just need to write a function and you’re done.

function valeriemanne() {
   echo 'Here i am !';
}
add_action( 'bp_before_register_page', 'valeriemanne' );

Add this to your child theme functions.php file or into bp-custom.php

Did you see this?
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-view-pending-signup-profile-fields/

For a single field, follow the directions in the code.

Is there any progress on this?

My client needs people to input a product number to sign up for the website.

There are lots of “pending” users but I cannot see the custom Profile fields to review what the new user has put in.

There is no other way of looking at that?

The clients needs to be able to do it and lots of them, the url trick will be too hard.

One solution might be to simply display the xprofile fields, that you want to be searcable in the member directory.
Then you can simply use the member search form to search for xprofile content.

My members have a field with ‘school’ http://historielaerer.dk/medlemmer/

This snippet adds two profile fields to the members loop – add the code to your bp-custom.php:

<?php
function add_info_to_members_loop() {
    $field_content = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=(Xprofile Field name)' );
    if( $field_content != false )
      echo "(label for xprofile field content): " . $field_content;
    $field_content = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=(Xprofile field name #2' );
    if( $field_content != false )
      echo "<br/>" . $field_content;
}
add_action( 'bp_directory_members_item', 'add_info_to_members_loop' );

?>

Just an idea.

Kind regards, Lars

The basic layout of the items on the right side of the registration screen can be affected by moving the fields around in Dashboard>>User>>Profile Fields.

You can drag and drop them and that will affect the order that they are displayed.

An alternative might be to install BP Better Registration, which creates a different type of registration process.

Hi there,

You might like to check out my page on setting up users

http://buddyuser.com/setting-up-site-members-with-buddypress

This includes details of adding additional profile fields to the users profile. Also check out the section “Installing BP” in my site, I’m sure it will give you a lot of useful information.

For profile fields you can enable a rich text editor with http://buddyuser.com/plugin-review-buddypress-xprofile-rich-text-field

It could be, difficult to answer since you have not given a great deal of detail on what features you want. You can create multiple extra profile fields which are searchable, you can use a plugin like BP Profile Search to enable all sections of the profile to be searchable, and of course BP supports public and private forums.

Hi @davidself1001,

i think BP Profile Tabs is a plugin to create “nice looking tabs using the jQuery UI”, it is not the xprofile component !

xprofile fileds and field groups (the tabs) management is located at
dashboard > users > profile fields. What you see on that screen is normally what you have in the DB.
Once you created fields and field groups in xprofile, you will see the group tabs in the plugin.

Hi,

xprofile use 4 tables: _xprofile_data, _wprofile_fields, _xprofile_groups and _xprofile_meta

But your description is unclear. Which settings are you talking about ? The one on dashboard or the one on profile, on front-end ?

Can you give an example of your profile settings and tell what do you think is missing in regard of the DB content.

It relate to this filter bp_get_profile_field_data

This example will hide tabs and fields to all except admin

function bpfr_hide_profile_field_group( $retval ) {
	if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) :	
	
	// hide profile group/field to all except admin	
	if ( !is_super_admin() ) {		
		//exlude fields, separated by comma
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '1';  
		//exlude groups, separated by comma
		$retval['exclude_groups'] = '3'; 			
	} 
	return $retval;		
	
	endif;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'bpfr_hide_profile_field_group' );

These tricks hide the tab content, not the tab itself. (it seems that it doesn’t work for groups at the moment…i asked devs for information) Use CSS display:none to hide the tab or consider this plugin.

Sorry for the outdated trick.
bp_is_profile_edit is deprecated in favor of bp_is_user_profile_edit.

Check for the outdated fn in the plugin mentionned in the error msg.
In case of, here a tutorial with more options.

– Single profile page. From show tab and from EDIT tab (see snippet)

– From dashboard profile edit page: not possible – normally BP users shouldn’t have access to profile dashboard. They can manage their profile from front-end.

– From custom profile fields. (see snippet)
– From tabs every where. (see snippet)

Almost any described areas, as example

function bpfr_hide_profile_edit( $retval ) {	
	// remove field from edit tab
	if(  bp_is_profile_edit() ) {		
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '54'; // ID's separated by comma
	}	
	// allow field on register page
	if ( bp_is_register_page() ) {
		$retval['include_fields'] = '54'; // ID's separated by comma
		}		
	
	// hide the field on profile view tab
	if ( $data = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=54' ) ) : 
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '54'; // ID's separated by comma	
	endif;	
	
	return $retval;	
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'bpfr_hide_profile_edit' );
