Hey!
I’d like to change the h1 contents of the members (by default, first name and last name are being displayed). Ideally I’d like to replace these first and last names by specific profile fields.

In this post, I got on how to do so for any part below the h1 tag (through the copy of the BP templates and the modification of the member-header.php).

Yet it doesn’t work for modifying the h1 content itself.
Please help me 🙂

Cheers,

Laurent

Hi,

I’ve created a series of profile field groups for different user types. There is one for a rider (Base), event organizer and finally a business user.

Currently im using the ‘BuddyPress Conditional Field Groups’ plugin to hide and show the event organizer and business groups based on the user but the Rider(Base) panel is there for all 3 user types.

Is there anyway to to hide the base panel based on the user either through coding or through the above plugin. Alternatively is there another plugin we could use?

I’ve created a custom field (Checkboxes) in WordPress > Users > Profile Fields. My site is an omni site for news, so it collects news from 20 different sources via RSS, and adds them ass posts in my WordPress site. This is how my custom field looks like:

enter image description here

If you’re only a visitor on my front page I’ll show all posts on the startpage.

If you are a logged in user; then you should be able to select and save wich of the 20 sources you want to read in your startpage on my site. This is possible to select and save today, but only from BP User Settings page:

Select and Save sources from BP User Settings

Now, the issue with the Users Profile Settings page is:

a) I do not want to have the form in the tab “Profile > Edit”. I want my form on my startpage (above the news flow, for logged on users of course) and perhaps in a widget sometime – anyhow – the most important this is freedom to place (and style) the form wherever I want.

b) The form includes fields I want to remove (Name and Description, i.e. “sources” = field name) etc.

The user on the image above has selected and saved to read news from 2 different sources on my website. The code that handles this is on the startpage in my index.php is:

$sources = xprofile_get_field_data( 'sources', $current_user_id, $multi_format = 'array' );
query_posts(array('category__and'=>array($sources)));

Question: Is there a way of retrieving this form and update in from anywhere for logged in users? I don’t want to be bound to the idea of only having the form in the Profile Settings page. I want the user to have to form above my news flow on the startpage of my site, so the users gets the feeling of “Oh, I can customize my news flow if I create an account!” – and this should be done from anywhere for logged in users.

Hello,

I am using the latest buddypress and wordpress. I have a number of Profile Group fields and would like to change from a Tab navigation to a Dropdown Select in the edit field.

I am new to code but have found

<?php if ( bp_profile_has_multiple_groups() ) : ?>
<ul class=”button-nav”>

I am guessing that changing the class will change the button (tab) type to a dropdown. I have no idea on what is required on this though. I want to do this in a few areas, but first of all in the edit profile area.

Any help gratefully received.

Thanks

I’m adding profile fields to the profile header using this function:

add_action( ‘bp_before_member_header_meta’, ‘display_user_phone’);
function display_user_phone() {
// echo ‘I choose this color: ‘;
$args = array(
‘field’ => ‘AD Roles’,// Field name or ID.
);

$args2 = array(
‘field’ => ’16’,// Field name or ID.
);

echo ‘<h5>’;
echo bp_member_profile_data( $args );
echo ‘</h5>’;
echo ‘<h5>’;
echo bp_member_profile_data( $args2 );
echo ‘</h5>’;
}

However, when I attempt to use the field ID, it doesn’t display the profile information. Using the Field Name works perfectly. I need to access the ID b/c some of the Field Names are long and involve punctuation.

How do I enter the field ID to make this work?

Thank you!

Using WordPress V. 4.2.3 and BuddyPress 2.3.2.1
I am running a multisite on theathleticgrade.com (master) with sub sites being theathleticgrade.com/coaches (and reflecting coaches fields ONLY) and theathleticgrade.com/students(and reflecting students fields ONLY) from the extended fields. Before adding the code to segregate the tables for the X-Profile Fields, both coaches and students fields were showing up on all sub sites. I need coaches to ONLY show up on theathleticgrade.com/coaches, etc.
I then created a file called bp-custom.php and loaded it with code, then uploaded that directly to the plugins folder. The code was copied and pasted from this link: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/guides/segregated-x-profile-fields-for-multisite – NO MODIFICATIONS were made.

2 things happened:

1. In the back end and on both sub sites – the profile fields groups and their content disappeared. – Which is fine. BUT–when I made the attempt to add a new field group, I kept getting an error message:
There was an error saving the group. Please try again..
2. I created a temporary sub site to see how it would react and same thing, along with these error messages referring to the code I just added and uploaded:

My question is..what do I need to do to create the groups in the coaches and students dashboards, so that they can be displayed appropriately on either website?

Was there something that needed to be manipulated within the code? If so, what is the exact location and where do I pull the information from? Specific instructions are essential, so that there is not any misunderstandings. Is there an example that can be provided on a live test website?
