BuddyPress.org

It’s a field builder plugin, not a filter, so no it wouldn’t help you. BuddyPress already do this (building fields and fields section) for xprofile component, so such a plugin is not to use with BP.

Conditionnal fields is an old and remaining “must have” thing, but the state of the art is far away i guess.
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-conditional-profile-fields-available-now/

i would take a try over Gravity Form at your place.

Just wanted to follow up…we did come up with a solution for this in case any one else is looking for it.

Full details are now on my blog at Revelation Concept.

function rc_buddypress_profile_update( $user_id ) { 
 
     $admin_email = "YOUR-EMAIL@DOMAIN.COM";
     $message = sprintf( __( 'Member: %1$s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_user_displayname( $user_id ) ) . "\r\n\r\n"; 
     $message .= sprintf( __( 'Color: %s' ), bp_get_profile_field_data('field=Color') ). "\r\n\r\n";
     wp_mail( $admin_email, sprintf( __( '[YOUR SITE] Member Profile Update' ), get_option('blogname') ), $message );
 }
 
 add_action( 'xprofile_updated_profile', 'rc_buddypress_profile_update', 10, 5 );

On xprofile component, the default field group is called Name and contains only one field who will contain the username. This group is already tabed on a profile page and is the only group field who appears on the register page.

Now, on the xprofile admin you can add as many fields and group fields you want, and you can set each field to different visibility.
These new field can be grouped and each group you create will automatically be tabed on a profile page.

https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/

If you mean showing groups on the profile, this also made automatically by BP. On each profile, you have (if exist) the groups the member belongs to.

If all this is not what you mean, be more explicit 😉

Hi there, i have an additional question… can this be used to hide profile groups from the edit profile group tab ? I tried;

// commoneasy hide fields
function commoneasy_hide_some_profile_fields( $retval ) {	
	if(  bp_is_profile_edit() ) {		
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '15';	//multiple field ID's should be separated by comma
		
	}	
	
	return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'commoneasy_hide_some_profile_fields' );

// commoneasy hide groups
function commoneasy_hide_some_profile_groups( $retval ) {	
	if(  bp_is_profile_edit() ) {		
		$retval['exclude_groups'] = '4';	//multiple field ID's should be separated by comma
		
	}	
	
	return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'commoneasy_hide_some_profile_groups' );

unfortunatly it didn’t work, i hope somebody can help!

sorry to bump this old topic. I use both BP 2.0.1 and BP custom fields type and i got the the links removed with:

function remove_xprofile_links() {
    remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
}
add_action('bp_setup_globals', 'remove_xprofile_links');

I was wondering if you could use this to only hide the links from certain profile fields, like only for profile field 2, 6 & 7 ?

@simpleone,

Can you show how you solved your problem? danbp‘s code did not work for me. As you, I also wanted to hide some xprofile fields and tabs that I don’t want users to be able to edit.

you should try to hide the fields from the edit profile page but not from the profile page. try editing the wwwroot/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/profile/edit.php. more information here https://buddypress.org/support/topic/ow-to-hide-more-than-one-profile-field/

Hi SimpleOne, I’m working on the same problem here! I tried to hide some fields from the edit profile page . i tried <

div class="clear"></div>

		<?php while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); if ( bp_get_the_profile_field_id() != '15' ) :?>

			<div<?php bp_field_css_class( 'editfield' ); ?>>

to hide profilefield 15 from the editing page, unfortunatly it doesnt work, can you maybe send me a duplicate of your edit.php file? you would help me big time 🙂

Hey, did anyone get this working? I too need a WYSIWYG editor for the text areas in the BuddyPress profiles. Can’t live without that.

Henry – I see your notes above, but a little hazy on where to put that in my edit.php file. Would you be able to spell it out more?

Basically, my edit.php file now shows this:

<?php while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); ?>

			<div<?php bp_field_css_class( 'editfield' ); ?>>

				<?php
				$field_type = bp_xprofile_create_field_type( bp_get_the_profile_field_type() );
				$field_type->edit_field_html();

				do_action( 'bp_custom_profile_edit_fields_pre_visibility' );
				?>

				<?php if ( bp_current_user_can( 'bp_xprofile_change_field_visibility' ) ) : ?>
					<p class="field-visibility-settings-toggle" id="field-visibility-settings-toggle-<?php bp_the_profile_field_id() ?>">
						<?php printf( __( 'This field can be seen by: <span class="current-visibility-level">%s</span>', 'buddypress' ), bp_get_the_profile_field_visibility_level_label() ) ?> <a href="#" class="visibility-toggle-link"><?php _e( 'Change', 'buddypress' ); ?></a>
					</p>

					<div class="field-visibility-settings" id="field-visibility-settings-<?php bp_the_profile_field_id() ?>">
						<fieldset>
							<legend><?php _e( 'Who can see this field?', 'buddypress' ) ?></legend>

							<?php bp_profile_visibility_radio_buttons() ?>

						</fieldset>
						<a class="field-visibility-settings-close" href="#"><?php _e( 'Close', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>
					</div>
				<?php else : ?>
					<div class="field-visibility-settings-notoggle" id="field-visibility-settings-toggle-<?php bp_the_profile_field_id() ?>">
						<?php printf( __( 'This field can be seen by: <span class="current-visibility-level">%s</span>', 'buddypress' ), bp_get_the_profile_field_visibility_level_label() ) ?>
					</div>
				<?php endif ?>

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

				<p class="description"><?php bp_the_profile_field_description(); ?></p>
			</div>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

Maybe read here, the post and all the comments:

Fetching and Showing only Specific fields from BuddyPress XProfile data

Since BP 2.0, you can use bp_parse_args to customise template loops and on a much easier way as never before.

The example function below will hide profile groups with ID 1 and profile fields IDs 6, 18 & 39 on the public profile screen of each member and stay visible on the edit screen. Tested & approved 2.0.1

If you get some php warning while using this function, be aware that there is a bug in 2.0.1 bp-xprofile-classes.php (fixed. See ticket). Simply apply the lattest patch to get rid of this error.

function flegmatiq_profiles( $retval ) {	
   // conditionnals to set accordingly to your purpose
	if( !is_user_logged_in()  && !bp_is_profile_edit() ) { 
		$retval['exclude_groups'] = '2';	
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '6,18,39';	
		
	} 
	return $retval;
	
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'flegmatiq_profiles' );

In your particular case, you have to play with the conditionnals

The example below is to give you an idea how to handle this. Not tested !

function flegmatiq_profiles( $retval ) {
$myfield = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Faculty', $user_id );
if( empty( $myfield ) )
return; // or echo

   if( $myfield == "Faculty" ) 
      if( bp_is_profile_edit() ) { 
		$retval['exclude_groups'] = '1,56';	
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '6,18,39';	.
      }
   if $myfield == "field_name_2";
     // do something other...

return $myfield;

add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'flegmatiq_profiles' );

@simpleone,
you found the reason why it doesn’t work on one site and not on the other !
1.9.1 and 2.0.1 are sligthly different BP version !
And the function you mention whas only introduced in BP 2.0, so this can’t anyway work on previous versions.

Actually there is a small bug in BP 2.0+ when using this function to modify profile groups. I opened a ticket about this and @imath provided a patch that works and let the function handle correctly on profile groups. I personnally use this function to conditionnally show/hide fields from the base group without problems. My profile form contains over 20 fields in differents groups, even Base, and are all required and viewable by members only.

I advise you to cancel whatever you have done about this so far, to apply the patch, to add the function to bp-custom.php and to test again.

Hi @kizzywizzy.

Thank you for bringing this up.

I’m interested in created an additional Member Directory (keep default, and have a new page with a custom member directory).

In this new Custom Member Directory, I would like to do something similar to what you’re doing (filter members based on loggedin member profile fields). Basically create a list of Member Suggestions.

Any idea on how to use the code you’re provided to make the above happen?

Thank you!
