BuddyPress.org

Check the value of the “bp-xprofile-fullname-field-name” entry in the WordPress “wp_options”-table.

SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE 'bp-xprofile-fullname-field-name'

Its value should match the name of the profile field containing the Member-Name. Usually the same as whats returned by

SELECT name FROM wp_bp_xprofile_fields WHERE id = 1

If the value in bp-xprofile-fullname-field-name is invalid (for example: in my case it contained “Name” but I renamed the first profile field to “Lastname, Firstname”), BuddyPress goes bonkers and tries to execute an invalid SQL-query resulting in an empty memberlist.

The main problem is the code located in “plugins\buddypress\bp-core\bp-core-classes.php” around line 260:

				} else {
					$fullname_field_id = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT id FROM {$bp->profile->table_name_fields} WHERE name = %s", bp_xprofile_fullname_field_name() ) );

					$this->uid_name = 'user_id';
					$sql['select']  = "SELECT DISTINCT u.{$this->uid_name} as id FROM {$bp->profile->table_name_data} u";
					$sql['where'][] = "u.field_id = {$fullname_field_id}";
					$sql['orderby'] = "ORDER BY u.value";
					$sql['order']   = "ASC";
				}

$fullname_field_id is empty if the value in bp-xprofile-fullname-field-name points to an non-existing fieldname.

Hope this helps others with the same problem.

@reacton What kind of modifications did you make on your BP Default child theme? Note that if made changes in the HTML markup in the template files of the BP-specific pages, you might also have to copy over and revise the JS files of BP Default theme.

You maybe right, and i’m unsure too. The best way to know, is to give a try. But do you absolutely need to ask twice for the user email ?
Or you could simply name the email fields differently.
Private mail
Work mail

Hi @henrywright-1,

i guess you can also filter by group profile ID

<?php if ( bp_has_profile('profile_group_id=2') ) : 
echo bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Email' )
endif;

if ( bp_has_profile('profile_group_id=45') ) : 
echo bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Email' )
endif;
?>

I’m having this same issue, but on a newer version of BP (1.7.1). I’ve submitted a ticket to report this bug, https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5046#ticket. The error doesn’t occur if *all* fields of the extended profile are filled out.

@caspergrimaldi https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/

looks like your theme is hard handing your form css. you will need to find the css and edit it.

$user_id = get this from WordPress;
xprofile_get_field_data( $field, $user_id );

The way you are getting members id is only good on member pages. If you are on a blog post you can get the author id, if you want logged in user id get that.

Do you know how to rearrange the order of those groups?

@ebraxton30 near the bottom of the Extended Profile webpage I linked to above, I’ve listed ways to rearrange profile fields and profile field groups.

@ebraxton30 Change to Twenty Twelve theme and deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress to test if your installation is working as expected -> https://codex.buddypress.org/user/before-installing/

Extended Profiles https://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/

Example of User Profile page which includes four profile field groups containing many profile fields each. http://testbp.org/members/mercime/profile/public/ Only the “General” profile group shows up during registration. Feel free to register at testbp.org, the official BuddyPress test site.

I am running into this problem as well, or maybe just a different form of this same issue.
I have several fields that ask for a URL (to a YouTube Channel or Tumblr blog) and instead of the link going to

http://www.youtube.com/user/myChannel

this link is generated

http://mysite.com/members/?s=www.youtube.com%2Fuser%2myChannel

@adnan0777 BuddyPress Codex is your friend https://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/

Is there a way to show the new groups at registration? I know I can add all my fields to Base, but I want them separated into sections

@jancbeck – i haven’t done much lately to improve the plugin, for me I think next step would be to add the ability to edit fields, then step 2 would be to incorporate some xprofile fields – if i do anything I am happy to share

The issue is in the core of the xprofile fields integration that have been added to buddypress with errors.
The problem is in the bp-xprofile-template.php file in the method bp_profile_get_visibility_radio_buttons()
Currently that function is rendering the visibility levels as radiobuttons, but is using the same id for all radiobuttons, so, if you want to allow multiple field with visibility options, the current version don’t works because the IDs of each radiobutton is repeated.
The current code of this method is:

foreach( bp_xprofile_get_visibility_levels() as $level ) {
			$checked = $level['id'] == bp_get_the_profile_field_visibility_level() ? ' checked="checked" ' : '';

			$html .= '<li><label for="see-field_' . esc_attr( $level['id'] ) . '"><input type="radio" id="see-field_' . esc_attr( $level['id'] ) . '" name="field_' . bp_get_the_profile_field_id() . '_visibility" value="' . esc_attr( $level['id'] ) . '"' . $checked . ' /> ' . esc_html( $level['label'] ) . '</label></li>';
		}

and the correct way to do it should be:

foreach( bp_xprofile_get_visibility_levels() as $level ) {
			$checked = $level['id'] == bp_get_the_profile_field_visibility_level() ? ' checked="checked" ' : '';

			$html .= '<li><label for="see-field_' . esc_attr( $level['id'] ) . '"><input type="radio" id="see-field_' . esc_attr( $level['id'] ) . '" name="field_' . bp_get_the_profile_field_id() . '_visibility" value="' . esc_attr( $level['id'] ) . '"' . $checked . ' /> ' . esc_html( $level['label'] ) . '</label></li>';
		}

Notice how I’m adding the correct ID for each radiobutton, thus the visibility options for each field will have the respective ID and will works!

I’m not sure why this issue is not related in the bugs list.

The developer’s site may be lame, but he developed a much needed (if incomplete) plugin for BuddyPress. It isn’t slowing down my test site, by the way.

I’d just like to figure out to modify it to work…well, fully. I’ll be using it for listing collections, by the way — not resumes.

If you can’t help, then, thanks for the bumps. Be nice.
