>would it work with BP’s fields

It should.
You can always hard code an ID to find out.

This is for customized comments on custom post types. The specific question is what user ID I would use, to display an xProfile field for each comment author.

I found WP’s comment author name and link, but not ID. If I did manage to get the comment author ID somehow (haven’t managed that yet), would it work with BP’s fields?

This solution worked for me. Thanks.

Having the same exact problem with the website field. Textbox fields also work perfectly fine for me.

WP 3.6
BuddyPress 1.8.1
BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Fields Type 1.5.7.1

All that shows up is “This field can be seen by: …”

🙁

is there a way to do this yet? i’m looking at adding a simple ‘location’ field to the groups. Like a profile field, one that’s clickable to take them through to all groups within that location.

It’s generally preferred to let the user decide whether he wants to open a link in a new window or the same window. That said, you can use jQuery to force content to open a new window to happen:

Or, you could filter the output for the fields by adding a filter to bp_get_the_profile_field_value (you’ll be adding target="_blank" to the anchor tag). Here’s an example that removes hyperlinks from the output for specific fields:

function cpfb_unlink_fields( $field_value ) { 
 
	$options = array ( //These are the ids of the fields you want to target
					12,
					14 
	)
		
	if ( in_array( bp_get_the_profile_field_id(), $options ) )
		$field_value = strip_tags( $field_value );

	return $field_value;

}
add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'cpfb_unlink_fields', 998, 1 );

I was successful at doing this. You can read about the results here on the forum.

I would suggest starting this kind of thread on the “How to/troubleshooting” topic, not this thread since it’s all about showing off the finished product.

I would simply create a custom post type “car” and then add them or in admin backend dashboard as post titles with searchable custom fields as country of origin, year of construction, etc or with gravity forms in frontend. Posts you can after add in every user profile page new tab “My Cars”.

the options for the user privacy setting totally DISAPPEARED! It also doesn’t show on the Update posting boxes.

Not quite sure what you mean for the first one? Privacy setting for xProfile fields?
And what doesn’t show on the update posting boxes (status updates right?)?

That really is not what the unlbocked pages are meant to display. It is not meant for pages that need to generate the unique id of a a logged in user. That would defeat the purpose of the plugin. You can allow logged out visitors to view the members though by entering: members
in one of the unblocked page fields. I hope you understand that is the logic behind the plugin. It would not make sense to use a plugin for privacy only to divulge the most sensitive content on the site which is users profiles to logged out visitors. Its not a bug, it was developed this way purposely. Good luck!

good man 🙂 love bp <3

here is an example on how to add a tab to a user profile. then, in the content function you just output the info saved from the form.

I got exactely the same problem over here. Field types “Website” & “Birthday” don’t show up on the “edit profile” screen. They don’t display on the “view profile” screen even so. All I see is the message from the privacy plugin, telling the visibility for the specific field.

Other field types like “Textbox” or “Checkboxes” work well.

I am using WordPress 3.5.2, BuddyPress 1.7.3 and BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Fields Type 1.5.6.5 – my theme is Custom Community.

Does someone know what’s wrong?

@marcella1981 hello i required same registration form as @davidveldt..and you have already given an solution to it but i cant understand where the ” pastebin ” you gave should be copy in buddypress theam..?

   <?php
  }
  /*EDIT*/
  
  function filter_xprofile_groups_with_acl() {
    global $bp, $profile_template, $current_user;
    get_currentuserinfo();
    foreach($profile_template->groups as $key => $profile_group) {
      if( ! in_array($profile_group->id, $this->user_allowed_xprofile_groups) ) {
        unset($profile_template->groups[$key]);
      }
    }
  }
  /*EDIT*/
  function filter_xprofile_groups_with_acl() {}
  function block_screen_edit_profile() {

azchipka, would you happen to have a copy maybe of the file you edited?

Maybe they changed the scripts in the last three months, but following directions exactly and it keeps giving me a fatal error.

Wow! Great work. A great example of what BuddyPress can really do!

I’m curious, what other plugins did you use when building the site? I’m guessing Advanced Custom Fields is one of them. Did you also create custom post types?

I’m also building a similar recruiting site and I’d like to build member profiles just like you did.
