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.

Use bp_get_group_member_id() and pass the id to xprofile_get_field_data(…)

If you can’t figure it out and/or you want to honor field visibility settings,
there is a premium plugin available: BuddyProfileData

@maikunari
Looks like you forgot to echo it. Try this!

<?php if ( bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=Profile' ) ) : ?>
     <?php echo bp_member_profile_data( 'field=Profile' ); ?>
 <?php endif; ?>

I am trying something similar with gravity forms, I am trying to pre-populate gravity forms fields with buddypress profile data fields and I can’t get it work too, I am using something like this in functions.php if it helps:

// Buddypress pre-populate phone
    add_filter("form_field_value_phone", "populate_phone");
    function populate_phone() {
            $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
            $current_user_id = $current_user->ID;
            $phone = bp_profile_field_data( array('user_id'=>$current_user_id,'field'=>'phone' ));
            return $phone;
    }

Is this a plugin or BuddyPress? I’m asking as you say custom subscribe fields. Are those profiles or using a custom plugin?

This is the old thread but the same question, I didn’t want to spam here that’s why I will ask the same question here again, I would like to dynamically populate buddypress data into custom post types gravity forms when the user is logged in, I am succesfully populating wordpress user meta, but I don’t know the code in functions.php for buddypress profile fields to make them work, I have already asked on Gravity Help forum, but there are plenty of questions like that and the same as mine question they have never been answered, I hope that maybe somebody from this forum already had to resolve that problem in the past.
