BuddyPress.org

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.

@cappazushi
Matter of fact that particular users site moves at a snails pace so in reality whatever they did was garbage because who wants to wait for a site to load when it takes 2-3+ minutes?

@cappazushi
Don’t listen to that BS. If that person that replied above that mentioned that plugin really wanted to help then they would period. That user is a phony and I will leave it at that!

I know this thread is over a month old, but I have a question about this plugin. Has anyone successfully modified it to allow for the editing of entries? It looks like the only options are add and delete. “Edit” would really make this plugin complete, though.

I plan on using it for something a little different than resumes, and my using will probably be editing their entries a lot — so forcing them to delete and rewrite them each time would probably make me public enemy number one.

I’ve done this too! Many times. Very annoying i agree!

hi i saw this solution does it help?

If you create a new profile group, then you could move some of those profile fields to these new groups and it won’t show up on all a once in the registration page.

To create a new profile group, login to the WP admin dashboard and navigate to “BuddyPress > Profile Fields” page. Next, click on the “Add New Group” button located in the header text.

here is the link
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/register-page-limit-number-of-profile-fields-shown/

@caspergrimaldi go to admin dashboard menu Users > Profile Fields
Click on Edit Group Link
change “Base” name to what you want
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/

There is a display:none; in the inline styling. Have you figured out how to resolve the issue? I am having the same issue.

@hiboy
Easy fix so don’t panic. Go into your server and rename that plugin. I always append it with 2 capital X’s to the beginning of the plugin name which will deactivate the plugin it can be anything it is just a habit for me.
In your example change the folder containing the plugins name from:
buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type
TO:
XXbuddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type
You can then get back into your site and the plugin will be deactivated and you can delete it via the dashboard if you choose.

I want to know this too.
Would be nice if there would be check marks in the WP User Admin to select which user meta would also appear in BP Profile.
Vice-versa, if custom profile fields made in BP could then appear in WP Admin.

This type of syncing seems necessary as WPSocialLogin populates useful info into the User WP Admin but there is no easy way to now get those WP User Admin fields into the BP Profile. (and I’m sure other plugin that are design to work with WP Admin don’t populate BP profiles). Seems like this “complete” syncing does not exist.
