Seems there may have been a country list in version 1.0 : https://svn.buddypress.org/branches/1.0/bp-xprofile/prebuilt-fields/

I strongly feel using this documentation you can achieve what you want.
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/

And this should help you with manipulating navigation items in group , renaming them or removing them. (At midway of page)

And this for custom fields (Not sure how much this will help for groups)

After searching Google for hours I found your post, and was happy at least someone had the same issue.
Have you found a solution?
–> I found the same file and I have exactly the same issue –> and even though I added a text on my registration page right after that profile field to please add the http:// , many users still just type in www
–> hence their website link becomes a mixture of my mainblog and their address and their link doesn’t work, due to the this part I guess
in the “else” where the Members Slug is added. (I was thinking of just removing it, but I’m not sure)

I am not a developer and on my journey I found a solution in order to get rid of all profile links which didn’t make sense either but the issue with the website still remains. Maybe you found a solution and you can share it? I’d be really thankful.

Here is what I found in order to get rid of the profile links, thanks to Jeff Sayre:
1) add a file named bp-custom.php just to your plugins folder
2 ) with the content that I can’t insert here unfortunately but from the first post of Jeff Sayre on this link:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-autolinking-on-profile-fields/?topic_page=2&num=15

That did it for me!

@thomas – this is something we are also looking at. @hnla is on the right lines, the following thread throws some more light on the problem:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/dynamically-create-new-sets-of-profile-fields/

yeah but maybe you want to have somethink like nickpage ….

and it would be cool if you could show fields/categories in a new tab on profile homepage

A quick google reveals several bulk-import scripts and plugins for WordPress/MU. Have a look at http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/import-users-plugin-for-wordpress/.

Regarding bulk import of xprofile data: Manjor Kumar had done some BuddyPress-specific import plugins for a very early version, but I can’t vouch for if they still work:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bulk-import-members-users/

and

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-import-for-buddypress-all-fields/

just buy a bag of buns

there are quite a few wordpress plugins for extending user profiles…

i once used cimy extra user fields for a project, and it worked fine for my purposes. it looks like there are a bunch of options nowadays.

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!

@mikepratt, Burt nailed it on the head, but I’d like to add that I think many people are still stuck in the forum world, and haven’t peeked their heads out to see that social networking has evolved in the past 5 years or so. I know on lots of car or video game forums, it’s basically just a free for all chat fest, and trying to convert those minds into using BuddyPress or WordPress alone is too big of a change; I’ve tried it twice now with little success. Having a dedicated familiar looking forum but using BuddyPress to emphasize the social atmosphere helps those stubborn users transition a little easier and allow them to fallback on the features of a dedicated forum in the event it doesn’t work out.

@burt, I noticed on your Common Interest site that you have the forums separated between public and group. I would like to do something similar, and am curious as to how you did so. Also, is there an easy way to tap into the profile fields/user information from BuddyPress and display it as post author information in bbPress?
