John,

Thanks. I’m sure caching that data speeds things up in normal use, however I do regularly need to export all the extended profile fields, and it doesn’t make sense to try and cache that.

What exactly do you need to know? I’ve got 13302 users, with roughly 115 extended profile fields (many of which tend to be blank for a given user). My little test script is below, although what I actually use is the “Export User Data” plugin.

<?php
/*
Template Name: test template
*/

?>

<h2>TEST of BP_XProfile_ProfileData::get_all_for_user</h2>
<?php
global $bp;
$start_time=microtime(true);
$memory_use = memory_get_usage(true) / 1024 / 1024;
echo "<br/>Start Memory Use = $memory_use  MB";
for ($userid = 1; $userid <= 5000; $userid++) {
        BP_XProfile_ProfileData::get_all_for_user($userid);
}
$times_run = $userid -1;
$finish_time = microtime(true);
$elapsed_time = $finish_time - $start_time;
$avg_time = $elapsed_time / $times_run;
echo "<br/>Ran get_all_for_user for $times_run users";
echo "<br/>Elapsed time = $elapsed_time seconds";
echo "<br/>Avg time = $avg_time seconds";
$memory_use = memory_get_usage(true) / 1024 / 1024;
echo "<br/>End Memory Use = $memory_use  MB";
echo "</p>";
?>

hmmmmm I like to keep buddy press up to date 🙁 and my scripting skills are rather poor! I would have thought that there should be some validation already built in, why have the field as required otherwise?

During registration they enter their account details which consists of a username,email addy, password and confirm password, then they create their profile details on the right of the page, which Ive added fields for first name , last name, gender, DOB etc, and Ive selected that the first name and last name are required fields, so surely if they fail to enter data the form shouldn’t submit??

or am I missing something here 🙁

Apologies, I’m not a developer but trying to find a solution that works.

I tried editing bp-profile-filters.php by adding add_filter( ‘xprofile_get_field_data’,’wpautop’ );

I also tried upgrading Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type plugin, as it was out of date, but this hasn’t helped.

From my rudimentary understanding, What I think I need to do is edit echo $data; to somehow include wpautop but I am not finding a way to do that…apologies if it is simple.

Thanks,

Ian

Thanks Ben,

I appreciate the input. Any chance you may have examples? The more and more I read the more I seem to be understanding. I guess I am trying to accomplish 2 things here.

First I think I am trying to possibly extend and customize the “Portfolio” portion of WordPress.

As a very simple example I would like make the Project = to an Animals if you will.
The Categories would be their Species, Breed, Gender, etc.
The Skills could be Friendly, Likes Kids, House Trained, etc.

I think the part the it troubling be is that this may require some customization in the form of renaming fields to be less confusing to the non-technical user. I consider myself technically savvy and I am lost! 🙂

I am guessing this could be accomplished with a Form like page or a plugin. But I was hoping someone was going to say…”oh ya, easy, just use XYZ”

——————————————-

So this would be my thought…

1.) A generic user with very little technical skill would come in to a very simple profile page of some sort.
2.) They fill in some info about themselves (so other fosters can see it – bio/phone/etc)
3.) They have a section on animals(s) they foster
4.) The animal would have its own profile if you will (because its a foster it can move around)

It would be nice to use the blogging feature so each person can add, stories, pictures, links, videos and everything else WP has to offer.

——————————————-

Again, thanks for the reassurance, I think I am on the right track. I just think I may be putting the cart before the horse right now as there is a ton to do and a ton more to learn!

Anyone else reading this please feel free to send along some suggestions.

Thanks

Thanks for the pointer @henrywright – I’ve tried a few executions but can’t seem to generate the breaks/p tags that are needed.

Here is an example of where I am seeing the problem with profile fields – is there a way within the text that is outputted to enable wpautop? Thanks…

	<div class="keyPeople">
		<?php 
		if (bp_get_profile_field_data('field=Key People') == "") :
		echo '';
else:
// display code
		$data=bp_get_member_profile_data(array('field'=>'Key People'));
		echo '<h3>Key People</h3>';
		echo $data; 
endif;
		?>
	</div>	

Good points.

Initially, I’d be glad to have a check to require completion of all the xprofile fields then automatically (approve) change the user role to allow more access.

Another option might to be to grant access to the xprofile fields while in a pending status, then manually approve when the profile is completed. Currently, I have an intercept in the login routine that logs users out if their status is pending and redirects them to a “Pending Approval” page. Perhaps I could leave them logged in and force the redirect to the xprofile page. Any ideas on how to form the correct url to the xprofile page? Will all xprofile tabs be accessible under the single url?

Thoughts? Ideas?

=> re: “Note that you need to add the correct id(s) for exclude_fields.”

Thanks shanebp. But is this the only way? I mean, I can’t do mucking with the code every time the client wants something new? Can I?

=> re: …/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/

“Add new visibility setting “Nobody”. Hide the field to all members.”

So this means, I presume that custom visibility is possible. Yes?

That said, I want to use standard fields, but I want to create the list via code, and not have to do it manually. Not possible? Mind you, it could be cause I’m new to BP but I’m trying to where / how the profile definitions are stored. I presume it’s an array, or close. So I want to do that but with code.

Thanks again

Hi @danbp

Thank you very much for your response. I really appreciate it!

I think that I understand your points and I will wait for the next update.

My only comment here it that under “My profile fields visibility settings” maybe it would be nice to see the data next to the profile fields (not edit them just see them).

Thank you again 🙂

I found this:

1) If you go through Settings and then Profile you are neither able to edit your profile nor to even see the infos (e.g. your display name)

http://i57.tinypic.com/2i6gvf5.png

2) If you go through Profile and then Edit you can edit your profile as it should

http://i61.tinypic.com/2rpv2gk.png

Well it does make sense but wouldn’t be great if you could at least see the info/fields using the method 1?

Regards

I want the users to edit your own profile.
If the user is currently trying to save his entry in multiple select box, only in the last entry is saved, because the values ​​are not passed in an array. Exactly the same problem at the register page.

However, when I try from the backend multiple typed select and save the changes to take effect. Since this there passed as an array.

Now the question is how do I get it out that the multi-select are passed as array fields in the frontend?

It’s one of those I just have to grind it out I guess. I’m not worried at all about the PHP Notices, that’s fine. The absolutely amazing behavior where the current_avatar function stops working even on a clean install is spooky. I’ll post something if I do make a break through , which seems unlikely right now.

Workaround: bbp_current_user_avatar fetches the gravtar link associated with an email.
At signup I have another custom field which forces the user to upload an avatar and then I replace all avatar references to the user defined profile image.

You could do this with custom fields or a plugin like ‘Buddypress upload avatar ajax’ and then just retrieve the value from the $user.

Anyway you won’t have a website which relies solely on gravatars to begin with.

Until then I’ll stick to this, thanks again Dan for your patience. Cheers!
