BuddyPress.org

Hello to everyone. Sorry If I reup this topic.
I try the method @r-a-y suggests in file edit.php (not in /profile-loop.php) and it worked just fine.

The problem is that I wanted that normal users cannot edit but admins can.
So I think that the easiest way is with user_id (the alternative would be using wp_meta, the role and wp_capabiliets I think?

So I have to put something like that

while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); if ( get_current_user_id()=#ADMIN ID OR bp_get_the_profile_field_id() != 'ID # YOU WANT TO SKIP' ) :

Am i right?
Thanks for the anwser

You shouldn’t need to hack the core plugin files in order to do solve the spacing issue. It’s just going to cause heartache when you update the plugin, and have to make the changes all over again. I know you are embarking on a big learning journey with BP, WP, and PHP, but I would suggest it’s time to learn a little CSS now as well. If you use a tool like Mozilla’s Firebug, you can identify the CSS identifier and tweak the CSS in a child theme (https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)

For example, the profile field by default has a padding: 8px; in the template. If you increase that number, you will increase the spacing between the profile fields.

Regarding adding the profile info in your member directory, this tutorial will walk you through how to pull a file from the plugin and add it to your child theme, so you can update the BP plugin more easily. It explains how to place an item on the Profile, but I’m sure the same thing could be pulled off on the Member Directory with a few tweaks.

http://bp-tricks.com/snippets/displaying-certain-profile-fields-on-your-members-profile-page/

utilize the use of bp action instead, add this to your functions

if ( !function_exists('add_rules_in_register') ) {
function add_rules_in_register() {
echo "<a href='hxxp://www.websitehere.com' target='_blank'>Rules</a>";
}
add_action('bp_after_signup_profile_fields','add_rules_in_register');
}

@cuisire_ceo It depends but found the following most useful after googling so much to only come up with garbage past dated scraped/syndicated content.

The most important question is what the Purpose for Your BuddyPress Use/Community. The only way I have wrapped my head around it is to work backwards but with that said…

Heres What I consider some of the Best Round Ups and Buddy Pep to Follow:

Tammie Lister @mercime http://wordpress.tv/?s=tammie have some great talks and also have just googled for any slides from the various presentations. If not able to see video.

Also check out her book that only seems most current: https://buddypress.org/2013/11/buddypress-theme-development-by-tammie-lister/

Boone Gorges @boonebgorges http://wordpress.tv/speakers/boone-gorges/ and most notable this presentation: http://wordpress.tv/2013/12/10/boone-gorges-herding-cats-with-the-buddypress-activity-component/
or anything Boone from Youtube via WordPressNYC great example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPpU3ySo5q0 in understanding of GROUPS.

Of course John James Jacoby jjj @johnjamesjacoby (sorry jjj: he rambles often:) but found this useful in just using a simple profile I believe this is the session maybe others can reference it “WordPress Profiles” http://wordpress.tv/2013/10/04/john-james-jacoby-everything-you-want-to-know-about-bbpress-and-buddypress/

So you probably thinking Wow but you have not answered anything on installing 🙂 Believe me it helps so much to think big picture of your whole community than start working backwards as single page/components to map similarities to constructed it.

This is one of the most useful tutorial of theme I had purchased which the developer went MIA but it was an AHA moment for me. Because Buddypress are Custom Post Types thats Relational Data/Fields
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc3Er4S4EeQ & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7b9TFw6ZAQ
. I know what you thinking this is not my intent or not relevant. Start watching #2 at 2:16 to think in context of Simalirty.

Finally, The only other best other video tutorial that just a setup instruction. I have found online was BuddyBoss (don’t even own the Theme) http://www.youtube.com/playlistlist=PL5kBYJSuuvEj3KqG_lnAa9MxpZumjtTdY

and Mathis on VIMEO. The biggest problem is finding the resources in a central location so I have to track down.

I hope that helps as resources. It really would depend on how you see your community of your people and how its relational in context

Hi @BuddyBoss,

Try and play with this plugin if you really want to import user data to custom CRM applications (it’s a little old and was developed for another WP plugin):
https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-crm-buddypress-xprofile/

Feel free to download that plugin, study its source, implement whatever customisations you want as per Woopra and test to see if it solves your issue.

P.S. If you end up modifying that plugin to accommodate other important user data fields, don’t forget to rename it to something else and block off ALL its internal call for updates (whenever the parent plugin is pushed for updates, otherwise ALL your changes will disappear should you mistakingly push through with the update).

@thisisbbc,

Before BP is made fully compatible with WP right out of the box, I am afraid integration such as you want will continue to be a conundrum.

However, in addition to @henrywright’s contribution, why not give this plugin a try:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-xprofile-wp-user-sync/

Feel free to download the plugin, study its source, implement whatever customisations you want as per Woopra and test to see if it solves your issue.

P.S. If you end up modifying that plugin to accommodate other important user data fields, don’t forget to rename it to something else and block off ALL its internal call for updates (whenever the parent plugin is pushed for updates, otherwise ALL your changes will disappear should you mistakingly push through with the update).

They should automatically show up if you added them correctly in Users > Profile Fields. So I’m guessing it was added incorrectly or there is some theme issue.

Hi .. ,

for over 6 months i search for this function.

I need a function to display: “bp_get_member_profile_data”
in activity-stream for each invidually user in activity-stream !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I know the different with bp_get_member_profile_data and xprofile_get_field_data !
It´s all crazy, but whatever.

If i put the this in custom-function.php, in example:

————————-
function show_extra_profile_fields() {
global $bp;
$myfield = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘City’, $bp->loggedin_user->id );
echo $myfield;
}
add_action( ‘my_test_action’, ‘show_extra_profile_fields’ );

—————–

And put this Code in activty – entry.php

<?php do_action( ‘my_test_action’, ‘show_extra_profile_fields’ ); ?>

——————–

It shows the City, but in all activies it shows my City !
Also logically, because i say: –>loggedin_user

But I need the function to display the invidually City for User in entry.php !!

Please Help!

@webauthor
You are looking for similiar features like I did. I understand your frustration, but finally, there’s nearly nothing that can’t be done with buddypress – if you have the right skills.

I found a solution concerning different registration/profile fields or types: give it a try

Also, I know there’s a plugin for conditional fields, but I’m not sure if it works: check it out

Support isn’t always that fast – that’s right. But finally most of my questions could be answered in the past.

Good luck!

I’ve never seen that before. Standard advice is to switch themes and deactivate all plugins, then switch everything back one by one to see if a specific theme/plugin is the cause.

If not, BuddyPress does automatically inject links into some content. Profile fields for example, when viewing a user’s profile. Weird that it’s doing this on a random WP page though.

As for ‘network activated’ I suggest leaving it to just ‘activated’ on your main site that you’re running BP on. No reason to run it everywhere.

Me too, I don’t like the way rtmedia presents the display of media. So I tried to manage a kind of playlist for mp3 by using BP xProfile Custom Fields Type.

I wrote a short tutorial on how I did it: take a look right here

Hi @saleh.hi

Create a new profile fields group ( from wpadmin User > Profile Fields ), then drag & drop all fields from Base(Primary) group to the new fields group.

Do you have a child theme? If so, go to members > single and open up the files ‘member-header.php’ and ‘home.php’ most of the modifications you need to will be in these two files.

If you don’t have a child theme, google how to make one.

You can add social media buttons somewhere in here. you need to add profile fields via the dashboard Users > profile fields, then you can pull the urls that a member fills in into the profile page. You will have to do some googling to figure out how to insert the profile fields into the profile. It is all out there somewhere.

A relatively simple suggestion for 2.0 – Get rid of tables in all templates so developers can style everything for mobile without having to override templates to convert tables to lists. Notifications and Messages use tables right now and they don’t have to.

A harder feature BP could really use is admin editable fields for groups. Basically the exact same thing as xprofile fields but for groups. This is the kind of thing that makes more sense in core than a plugin.

Assuming bppp_get_user_progression_percent returns the percentage completed then your function looks spot on.

The conditional if ( $percentage == 100 && ! current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) ) will ensure the user’s meta is updated only if:

$percentage == 100 – all profile fields are completed
! current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) – they’ve not already reached 100% profile completion at some point

Hi @justineterniawebcom

I’m trying to understand your requirements – do you just want to send an email (perhaps to an admin) once a user has completed all of their profile fields?

if you are talking about editing the regular wordpress profile fields from the front end the same way you edit the extended buddypress profiles that may be part and parcel with a feature i am currently lobbying for for 2.0 which is the merger of the two, both fronted and back.

if that’s something you’d also like to see or is what you are trying to accomplish then i would urge you to enter this code patch as a ticket in trac:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org

and while you’re at it please take the survey for any other input you have as far what you’d like to see for buddypress 2.0 i believe today’s meeting is where the new features will be scoped so the next few hours could be the last chance to give your input:

2014 BuddyPress Survey

also if you want to attend the devchat itself it’s held on irc at 20:00 UTC every wednesday on the channel #buddypress-dev

if you do not have an irc client you can use the web browser version here:

http://webchat.freenode.net

hope to see you there!

CORRECTION: the feature scoping has been postponed until next week.

the front end buddypress profile is not connected to the backend one (for the most part) you may be missing the fact that the front end profile fields need to be set by you in the profile fields section of your users settings in wp admin. those fields are only editable from the front end by default.

I think you can use the default Xprofile fields for this.

Just add a new tab ‘video’s’ and another tab called ‘photo’s’ and let them copy-/paste links to YouTube-/Flickr and others inside a multi-line text input field. ( Xprofile )

I believe the WordPress Embed service will auto complete those links into embedded video’s and images.

If not –> Search: BuddyPress auto embed xprofile – something like that.
