BuddyPress.org

function wdw_bp_get_field_options( $field_id ){
	global $bp, $wpdb;
	return $wpdb->get_col( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT name FROM {$bp->profile->table_name_fields} WHERE parent_id=%d AND type='option'", $field_id ) );
}

You can call the above function passing id of the field( fieldabc in your example ). This will return all options of the field in an array.

Do you recommend I create text/content and install a form plug-in for my ‘register’ page associated with the BPress first before working on adding Member Profile Fields?

@dleit please do not install any form plugin for your “Register” page. Leave it blank as BuddyPress will dynamically add the necessary forms. What you need to do is set up the profile fields. Remember that whatever field you add in the first group of the profile field will appear on the right side of the Reigstration form.

It just doesn’t seem like it will solve the “user registration is currently not allowed” issue.

After you add the member profile fields/group(s) you want for your community, I suggest going to the admin menu Settings > General and Allow Registrations. BP Codex is your friend https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/register-and-activation-pages/

I created a page for each component in this plug-in and I don’t know what to do next.

@dleit It depends. You could start adding Member Profile Fields and/or Create Groups and/or install Group and/or Sitewide Forums if you need forums.

btw, spammers have been removed 🙂

OK, I’m a newbie with BP but you have to:
1. edit/set up your registration page form fields that you want in Users > profile Fields.
2. you can edit the actual text found in the Registration page in registration.php file. Found here on your server: plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php
3. you can edit the actual text found in the Activate page in activate.php file. Found here on your server: plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/activate.php

If you read the getting started docs they help a lot, and then search this forum and on the i/net you’ll find heaps more info.

Good luck!

Hi @sjjenkins

This should not be very difficult. Some small change in the template file but since they have no downloadable version its difficult to say.
This may contain some clue –

Showing some profile fields in member’s profile header not working after update

Just curious, how does the Whats New box looks like when you use
buddypress-activity-privacy, buddypress-activity-plus and any Media plugin like rtmedia ?
Whats your site (if its not private) url ?

Thanks.

These may help

Thanks

Those two fields do work fine, I suspect that you are working with an older version of the view & edit templates? The manner in which xprofile fields are looped to be displayed changed so you will need to grab latest versions of these templates from the bp-legacy directory in the core plugin.

Bumping after 20mn is a bit abused, no ?

If you use BP, you can edit, add or remove custom profile fields if you activate the extended profile component.

To add an external plugin to the user profile edit, try to add it to the profile template.
Or modify the plugin so he use BP specific templates.

BuddyPress Plugin Development

Add Meta Box to Admin Extended User Profile

and much more to read on codex and forum.

This works for me. It’s basically just a cleaner version of what eberger3 did.
You’ll have to hack the ‘where’ clauses if you want to include search terms.

function add_sortby_price() { 
?>
	<option value="price">Price</option>
<?php
}
add_action( 'bp_members_directory_order_options', 'add_sortby_price' );

function users_sortby_price( $object ) {
    global $wpdb, $bp;	
	
    // Only run this if price option is selected
    if ( ! in_array( $object->query_vars['type'], array( 'price' ) ) ) 
	return;
	

    $field_id = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT id FROM {$bp->profile->table_name_fields} WHERE name = %s", $object->query_vars['type'] ) );
		
     $object->uid_name = 'user_id';
     $object->uid_table = $bp->profile->table_name_data;
     $object->uid_clauses['select']  = "SELECT u.{$object->uid_name} as id FROM {$object->uid_table} u";
     $object->uid_clauses['where'] = " WHERE " . $wpdb->prepare( "u.field_id = %d", $field_id ); 
     $object->uid_clauses['orderby'] = "ORDER BY u.value";
     $object->uid_clauses['order']   = "ASC";		
		
}
add_action( 'bp_pre_user_query', 'users_sortby_price' );

BuddyPress was made to extend WP standart profile fields. Normally you haven’t to use WP’s profile fields (aim, jabber, bio, etc) I you need a bio you recreate one.

The only required fields for profiles at the registering level are 4 by WP (username, email, password & pwd confirm) and the Base (field group) Name field which is added by BuddyPress.

If you use bbpres as standalone forum aside BP, you can syncing with wordpress

You don’t need to touch any core files to add an Order By.

Example for adding a Contributor option, put in bp-custom.php or theme/functions.php

// add order options to members loop
function ch_member_order_options() {
?>
   <option value="contributing"><?php _e( 'Contributing Members', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
<?php
}
add_action( 'bp_members_directory_order_options', 'ch_member_order_options' );

// filter ajax members by contributing
function ch_filter_ajax_querystring( $querystring = '', $object = '' ) {

	if( $object != 'members' )
		return $querystring;

	$defaults = array(
		'type'            => 'active',
		'action'          => 'active',
		'scope'           => 'all',
		'page'            => 1,
		'user_id'         => 0,
		'search_terms'    => '',
		'exclude'         => false,
	);

	$ch_querystring = wp_parse_args( $querystring, $defaults );

	if( $ch_querystring['type'] == 'contributing' ) {
	
// to get members by xprofile field, you need some custom sql here
// here's an example: 
//https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/loops-reference/the-members-loop/#code-examples

		$users = get_users( array( 'fields' => array( 'ID' ), 'role' => 'contributor' ) );
		
		$users_str = '';
		foreach ( $users as $user ) {
	             $users_str .=  $user->ID . ',';
	        }
		$users_str = rtrim($users_str, ",");

		$ch_querystring['include'] = $users_str; 
		$ch_querystring['type'] = 'alphabetical'; 
		
		return $ch_querystring;
		
	}	
	
	else
		return $querystring;
			
}
add_filter( 'bp_ajax_querystring', 'ch_filter_ajax_querystring', 20, 2 );

Hi @myg0t,

you do it wrong. WP auto embeds youtube videos automagically (and over 40 other online video providers). In a post or topic or mention, simply copy/paste the video URL, and it’s done.

xprofile use a form with different fields. Because these fields are striped for security reason (classic form security), you can’t embed videos like previously described.

But there is a URL field type ?
Yes, this let you enter a video url, but the field will render the URL, not the embed action. It’s a form field and it’s striped.

So what ?
We will use a normal text field, and will only enter an alpha numeric value.

How can i do this ?
As example, we gona use this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZPN9g2pmPQ

And to show the video on a profile, we’ll use only the doc ID: TZPN9g2pmPQ

By entering this kind of text in a profile field, it is not striped and will be handled like an ordinary text field and throwed to DB with his filed ID and field value.

To embed the video, we also have to add what WP does on a blog, but not on xprofile page, an iframe to control the video output, so it can be streamed correctly and be read by browsers.

Now we first create a new field and name it Spotlight (or what ever). No matter where, you can use the Base group or any other custom group.
We select the field type and give it a single text area type.
Save.

We go on a profile to modify it and enter TZPN9g2pmPQ in regard of Spotlight.
Save.

And voilà ! The video is correctly embeded and displayed.

As usual for customisation, we’ll use a snippet which we put into bp-custom.php

function set_video_field( $field_value ) {
	$bp_this_field_name = bp_get_the_profile_field_name();
	// field name (case sensitive)
	if( $bp_this_field_name == 'Spotlight' ) {
		$field_value = strip_tags( $field_value );
        // building the HTML and h/w of the iframe
		$field_value = '<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/'.$field_value.'" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>';
	}
	return $field_value;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value','set_video_field');

Caution: do not remove the iframe, or video won’t work.

Hope this help.

hi @dzagya,

The new BuddyPress comes with SocialMedia fields encoded into the xProfile, and display with the Base profile fields.

Is this gonna require a .php hack? – if so anyone got any tips for me?

or does anyone know a good plugin to handle this?

BuddyPres hasn’t social fields in the Base xprofile field group. There is only one field which is [username] !

Check one of your plugin or your theme setings. Or maybe a custom function…
Give details. Theme & used plugins for example.

It’s not a bug. Read this.

Hi @sbraiden,
if you enter love,apple,pie it’s considered as a list, because words separated by commas are list eleents in form (extended profile fields are in a form). If you enter i love apple pie and muffins, but also spaghetti. it’s mostly not linked, except for one of the words before a ponctuation. Or the first word, or the last word in other case. I’ve never tested this precisely.

For the URL not showing, do you use the URL field type ? Have you tried with a single line textarea, just to see if this makes a difference.

Also important to know, when you enter an URL on front-end (field type URL on), you have to enter the full URL, http included. If you enter only http://www.sometinhg or example.com, it’s not valid and will be linked like other words to user profile.
