ok – just adding this here so I have everything in one place:
How to Add an Image Field to Buddypress Extended Profile Fields

ooh what about this one for the file uploads:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/

Can anyone advise which of these options works best?

thanks

What if I just set up xprofile fields in a separate profile field group? If I use a field type of multi line text box then they could enter unlimited credentials. This field could then be searched couldn’t it?

hmmmm, but then how to get the file upload in?..

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profiles-manager/

ok, doing some more research and I’ve found this plugin which would possibly work by only showing the credentials profile fields for the experts. I’m not using S2member, but I am looking at other membership plugins, or I assume I could just use a capability manager to create new roles….

Yes? No? Maybe?

ok – back to Google for some more research…

Hi there, just nudging to see if there’s a work around or hack in BP code I can do to enforce desired x-profile visibility levels as in my case users need not have an option to choose their visibility levels. So I hope someone can point me in the right direction on how to hardcode the visibility levels for my x-profile fields in the code.

Many thanks.

Hi henry thanks for all of your help.

I think I have the code somewhat working, at least it says up top viewing members 1 of 5 (I have 1 member assigned as editor). But it doesn’t pull anything like their avatar and name etc.

Here is my code (the part that you recommended)

<ul id="members-list" class="item-list" role="main">
 
    <?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?>
    
    <?php 
   $user_id = bp_get_member_user_id(); 
   $user = new WP_User( $user_id );
   
   if ( $user->roles[0] != 'editor' )
   break;
?>
 
        <li>
            <div class="item-avatar">
                <a href="<?php bp_member_permalink(); ?>"><?php bp_member_avatar(); ?></a>
            </div>
 
            <div class="item">
                <div class="item-title">
                    <a href="<?php bp_member_permalink(); ?>"><?php bp_member_name(); ?></a>
 
                    <?php if ( bp_get_member_latest_update() ) : ?>
 
                        <span class="update"> <?php bp_member_latest_update(); ?></span>
 
                    <?php endif; ?>
 
                </div>
 
                <div class="item-meta"><span class="activity"><?php bp_member_last_active(); ?></span></div>
 
                <?php do_action( 'bp_directory_members_item' ); ?>
 
                <?php
                 /***
                  * If you want to show specific profile fields here you can,
                  * but it'll add an extra query for each member in the loop
                  * (only one regardless of the number of fields you show):
                  *
                  * bp_member_profile_data( 'field=the field name' );
                  */
                ?>
            </div>
 
            <div class="action">
 
                <?php do_action( 'bp_directory_members_actions' ); ?>
 
            </div>
 
            <div class="clear"></div>
        </li>
 
    <?php endwhile; ?>

And I paste my code :

<div class="bp-widget <?php	 	 bp_the_profile_group_slug(); ?>">

				<!-- <h4><?php	/* 	 bp_the_profile_group_name(); */ ?></h4> -->

				<div class="profile-fields grid_7">
					<ul>
					<?php	 	 while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); ?>

						<?php	 	 if ( bp_field_has_data() ) : ?>

							<li<?php	 	 bp_field_css_class(); ?>>
                            	<ul>
                                	<li class="label"><?php	 	 bp_the_profile_field_name(); ?></li>
									<li class="data"><?php	 	 bp_the_profile_field_value(); ?></li>
                                </ul>    	
							</li>

						<?php	 	 endif; ?>

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

					<?php	 	 endwhile; ?>
					</ul>
				</div>
                <div class="grid_5">
                <?php
                	if( function_exists('upm_single_map_display') ) : upm_single_map_display(); endif;
				?>
                </div>
			</div>

no common usecase?

no idea?

@r-a-y during registration, have you noticed that all the select-list is already filled, although I made none as default, this is how you ended with all the profile fields in your test profile although nothing supposed to be set as default or required, so what could be the reason for it? also, any edits I make child theme css doesn’t work and I’m just about to bang my head in the wall :s

Not sure if I’m really the only one who tries to setup optional fields only…?
