My theme is Klein (http://klein.dunhakdis.me/)

BP ver 2.0.2
Theme name OneCommunity
I’m able to create a new field in another group
I saved changes
I installed Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type and if I select for the field type something that offered by this plugin it works fine.
Regards
I. Lesher

Thank you all,
As ACF doesn’t do the job,
is there any other way to add an edit box to the fields profile as my client wants?
Thanks in advance

Ya I’m using sweetdate. Definitely a child-theme issue. I restored to base SD and it went away. I’ve disabled all plugins (other than BP) and am deleting functions.php code like 100 lines at a time.

interestingly, I added a 4th profile group, and now this problem only occurs on the FIRST profile group. The second profile group (About) no longer repeats fields.

I know it’s not your job to support this! 🙂 just wondering if anything popped into mind. I have the production site in maintenance mode because if people edit + save their profiles with the repeated fields populated, it’s saving the information doubly as well, which will persist even after I fix this bug. D: eek.

PS.:

I have no problem to access the BuddyPress Settings within the Dashboard (components, pages, settings).

I can as well access to “Benutzer/Profilfelder” (users/profile fields), “activity” and “groups” within the Dashboard.

Yes, I’ve seen the calculator, but that’s not exactly what I am looking for. I want a feature in Buddypress profile fields, that when a woman puts her child’s age or pregnancy week, she could see week by week development information on her profile page. Many baby web-sites have this feature, I was just wondering if BP has something similar.

hmmmm!! Ive deleted the additional fields I added and change first name to full name, I then ran a bogus registration, and its given them a username as it should and then gave them a full name as inserted during the registration process, so fingers crossed it appears to have worked!

Now my next big dilemma is can I change those have already registered, so that their profiles read correctly ?? is there a way that you know of??

Thanks

Hi
“The NAME field in BuddyPress is intended to receive first and last name and replace the two original fields (first name, last name) coming with WordPress.”

Does this mean that If I remove the first name and last name fields from ‘profile fields’ then that should fix the issue?

Thanks

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>
