BuddyPress.org

BuddyPress profile fields are searchable.

any one here to help me
installed and activated plugin and in widget area it is asking to put Birthday field Name (or ID)

from where i can get this ?

and as said in plugin page Birthday field must have been previously created in the Buddypress profile page so i opened USERS >Profile Fields >Add New Field

here i user date selector to create it and after that in registration page user have to put their date of birth .but from where i can get Birthday field Name (or ID) please help .Thankyou

@4ella one bump is sufficient!

@henrywright-1I think this is going to have attendant issues difficult to deal with. Gravity forms allows for forms with repeater fields and you can then tie submissions into existing functionality but profile fields are going to be hard to deal with, if they aren’t created. The repeater fields are created via JS on submission you have to tie it in to creating new profile field label etc then if you can do that you create those extra for all users.

What may be a better approach is to add in advance all the fields you may need then on front end hide them with JS and allow user to show them as and when needed, public profile would be set to ignore any empty fields & labels.

nice idea, bump

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.
