BuddyPress.org

Thank you @tolusage, it was very helpful, first I installed “buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type.1.5.8.4” plugin then “bp-xprofile-wp-user-sync” as you said. Some works now, except the profile page tabs and Signup module. Registration form all ok there are first name and last name boxes there.
1-But on profile page there are about me and Looking for tabs. Ans I see the same data in both tabs. Looking for has the same info as About me. Basically the name, age, height, weight etc all base info appears in looking for tab too except in quotes in Looking for css design.
2-And signup module doesnt show first and last name boxes
As you know on signup box there are these element boxes:
.User name
.Your full name
.Your email
.Desired password
.Confirm password
So I want to get rid off that “Your full name” and put “First name” and “Last name” boxes there. So what file do I need to modify? And how, with what coding?
3-And on admin panel as admin I want to be able to edit user data, at the moment I can edit only the names, email, password. But I want to be able to edit the age, height, weight, country, city thinks like that I have in the main registration form already exist. But on admin panel I cant see them for users to edit. How can I put them in users edit page?
Could you please help out, thanx @tolusage

@oscar582234,

Try the above combination of tips by @henrywright and mine…

Additionally, use the following plugin to create your First Name and Last Name fields as XProfile Fields:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/

Then use the above plugin to sync them as necessary!

@boblebad,

What you trying to create is a bit interesting and it might take about 3 or 4 plugins to manage fully… So follow the steps below and you’re well on your way:

Foremost, Install this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/
(NB: That is for the More Profile Fields Option)

Step 2:
Install this plugin to achieve the “ticking off boxes, and also make them searchable, like vegetarian, vegan, smoking a.s.o. ?” that you asked:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-better-directories/
(Although the plugin is a little old, the author is a BuddyPress core developer – see if you can work something out with him)

Step 3:
The 4 Membership Plans Stuff is best handled by the free version of the plugin below,
https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/

Step 4:
About the Profiles Completion Meter (35% Completed and so forth, but without the quality stamp!)
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profile-progression/

The quality stamp part is best worked out with the developer of Sweet Date. Just request custom development services from him and you’re good to go.

I added a profile field to the members header.php, it was overwritten when I updated to the latest bp because I forgot to add it to my child theme.

it became the default:
<?php
/***
* If you’d like to show specific profile fields here use:
* bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=About Me’ ); — Pass the name of the field
*/
do_action( ‘bp_profile_header_meta’ );

?>

But the field still appears in the members header! how is this possible?

My problem is, I’m trying to recreate the same site again, but I can’t duplicate it, I don’t know how to edit the members header anymore, or why it still works on my demo, but not when I use the same copy of bp as my demo?

Im getting this error in the members header

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home/palosverdes1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-template.php on line 662

What’s going on? Please help!

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?
