BuddyPress.org

any profile fields you add to the first field group get added to the registration form.

Your task is very logical – but fraught with danger.

Have you noticed that emails can be edited from a Profile page via Settings?
And how a confirmation email is sent?

And this setting: wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-settings > Profile Sync ?

So it’s possible but not easy.
Display of those fields is fairly simple – but writing handlers to save those fields… eek.

If it was me, I’d just add Profile fields for bio and website – and move on.

are you using this one? https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/

i use donmik’s excellent plugin “BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Fields Type” for this…you can add a TOS to xprofile field

It won’t work unless you pass a ‘valid’ value. And you don’t have to use an array for a single value.
So if you have not changed the option value ( via Users > Profile Fields ) to ‘Subscribe to Newsletter Digest’, it will fail.

To ‘uncheck’ the box – just delete that row for that user in the _bp_xprofile_data table.
xprofile_delete_field_data( field name or ID, $user_id )

You can update a field with this function

xprofile_set_field_data( $field, $user_id, $value, $is_required = false )

$fields = field id
$user_id = current login user id
$value = inserted value
$is_required = boolean

Hook your function to

do_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', $user_id, $key, $user )

BuddyPress users are the same as WordPress so you can create a user using https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_create_user

To set profile fields data:

xprofile_set_field_data( $field, $user_id, $value, $is_required = false )

$fields = field id

$user_id = current login user id

$value = inserted value

$is_required = boolean

BuddyPress searches username and profile fields to find a member. You would need to develop a custom solution for this. Is this requirement for site admins? If so, you can find members by id in the admin -> Users menu item.

Any profile fields you create in the admin that are in the first section are automatically added to the registration form.

User Extended Profiles

This doesn’t happen for me. When I set the page “Register” to a static front page, I can still see custom profile fields in the sign up form. Can you post some details about your set up?

• Theme
• Plugins active
• Do you use custom code snippets in bp-custom.php or functions.php?
• etc

I still can’t get it to work. I do have header images enabled so I edited this file:

buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\cover-image-header.php

as follows:

<?php

				 /**
				  * Fires after the group header actions section.
				  *
				  * If you'd like to show specific profile fields here use:
				  * bp_member_profile_data( 'field=About Me' ); -- Pass the name of the field
				  *
				  * @since 1.2.0
				  */
		

bp_member_profile_data( 'field=city' );
bp_member_profile_data( 'field=state' );

		 do_action( 'bp_profile_header_meta' );

				 ?>

			</div>

I tried this and it isn’t showing up on profile pages:

<?php do_action( 'bp_member_header_actions' ); ?>

		</div><!-- #item-buttons -->

		<?php
		/***
		 * If you'd like to show specific profile fields here use:
		 * bp_member_profile_data( 'field=About Me' ); -- Pass the name of the field
		 */

bp_member_profile_data( 'field=city' );
bp_member_profile_data( 'field=state' );

		 do_action( 'bp_profile_header_meta' );

		 ?>

I’m sorry, but where exactly in that code would I enter that? Like this?

<?php
/***
* If you’d like to show specific profile fields here use:
* bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=About Me’ ); — Pass the name of the field
*/
do_action( ‘bp_profile_header_meta’ );

bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=City’ );
bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=State’ );

?>

You have identified the correct code location:

Assuming your field names are City and State, try:

bp_member_profile_data( 'field=City' );
bp_member_profile_data( 'field=State' );

If you need to do some formatting or add text or check for empty fields, use:

$city = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=City' );
echo $city;

Hi @ch1n3s3b0y @jokyfoot @ksimpson1986 @ksimpson1986 ,

I think I found something something close.

A free plugin called ‘Conditional Profile Fields for BuddyPress’ on buddydev.com/
It allows you to set conditions for profile field so each user has a different set of fields based on their previous answer or input.

Plugin Link: http://buddydev.com/plugins/conditional-profile-fields-for-buddypress/

It does it by hiding or showing fields based on specific answer given. The great thing here is that you now have to use just one dynamic registration form for all user types or groups.

Use this tutorial for a better understanding how the plugin works http://wptavern.com/new-plugin-adds-conditional-profile-fields-to-buddypress/

I hope it helps.

The second ask — i can’t usefully contribute!

for the first ask

Assuming your new user fills in her/his profile fields on registration

Something like the following MIGHT work.

On FIRST login a user is redirected to say .$user -> user_login.’/profile/change-avatar/’;

then add something like this to the functions.php file of your theme

function alaiam(){

global $current_user, $wpdb, $bp;

get_currentuserinfo();

$user_id = get_current_user_id();

$firstname = xprofile_get_field_data( "First Name" ,$user_id);
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'first_name', $firstname);

$lastname = xprofile_get_field_data( "Last Name" ,$user_id);
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'last_name',$lastname);

$gender= xprofile_get_field_data( "Gender" ,$user_id);
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'gender',$gender);

$xdob= xprofile_get_field_data( "Date of Birth" ,$user_id);
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'dob',$xdob);

/*and so on.........*/

add_action('bp_before_profile_avatar_upload_content', 'alaiam', 10, 0);
