you need to add more fields to either “base” (unless you have renamed “base”) or you can also add new groups and add the new fields there.

@pete-deane,

the xprofile component offers all type of html forms fields, except upload box for security reason. This is simply not possible “as is”. The only thing you can do is to copy/paste an URL into a a single line textarea.

Or invite your user to enter their CV into a multiline textarea. And copy/pasting a formated CV in this box will loose his formating.

So there is no possibility at this time to join a separate document to a profile.

See perhaps what you can do with bp group documents plugin.

Anyone have a solution to converting the vertical xprofile field database structure to a horizontal more efficient structure?

I have 10 million entries in my xprofile_data table and my site crashes everytime i try to filter anything with ajax… very frustrting.

i am going to extract the important xprofile fields and convert them to a horizontal database structure and point my search box to the new table.

anyone done this before?

Add this to your themes functions.php or bp-custom.php:
`
/*
* Remove autolinks created in buddypress profiles
*/
function remove_xprofile_links() {
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 9, 2 );
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘remove_xprofile_links’ );
`

how can i have an “About me” section in the registration … keywords

“About me” section like http://testbp.org/members/johnjamesjacoby/profile/ was done by creating a new Profile Field Group then adding xprofile fields for that group. As for keywords, you could create radio or multiple select boxes et al with defined keywords for members to choose from or create a text boxes with instructions to members to list interests separated by commas

@danspeak12 what specifically are you looking for? xprofile fields can already be set by members to show publicly, for friends only, or for admin only. There’s a plugin to make activity streams show up for friends only https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-activity-for-self-and-friends-only/

Hi,

I’m using BP 1.6.4, and the link doesn’t work for me to be able to turn off the linking. I still have the linking showing. Please advise.

Not sure what your issue is here, create a new profile field with a select drop down then start adding the 202 countries as option fields, set it as required and ensure it’s in the base group so it shows on the register page. On members display you can then check the profile field to see what selection a user has.

hi @jmetzger631

Assuming you used xprofile component to do so.

You have to enter the correct profile field name. This means the name, in fact the field title, you entered when you create the profile field.

Probably “Company” or “Your company” or something readable for your public.

In BP 1.7/bp-default/members/members-loop.php:67 there is an example who explains this too.

/***
* If you want to show specific profile fields here you can,
* but it’ll add an extra query for each member in the loop
* (only one regardless of the number of fields you show):
*
* bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=the field name’ );
*/

You can also create a function to insert a do_action in the members-loop.

In the function, intented to work outside of the profile loop, you need the user id and the xprofile data

$user_id=bp_get_member_user_id();
$anything = xprofile_get_field_data (‘the_field_name’, $user_id);
echo $anything;

add_action ( ‘a_name_of_your_choice’, ‘your_function_name’)

and somewhere in the loop, do_action( ‘a_name_of_your_choice’ )

@supernaturalbrews user profile extended fields doesn’t show up in the dashboard. you can however click on a member in the front end then as an admin you will see the toolbar change up near the left where it says edit member. click edit member/edit profile and then you can see what info they entered in the extended profile fields.

That is not the experience I’m finding, required fields left empty are returning an error, so please check all your mods and alternative methods of signing in/registering

Chouf1,

Merci pour ta réponse ! Je suis désolé, je continue en Français mais ça sera plus simple pour moi de comprendre et d’expliquer ma problématique… En fait, tu me conseilles d’installer BP User Profile Map (ce que j’ai fait, je passais avant par une solution codée à la main qui nécessitait une clé pour l’API de GG Maps donc je vais abandonner ça) et de laisser les utilisateurs rentrer eux-même leur pays manuellement lors de l’inscription ou de l’édition de leur profil ?

Cette solution m’a effectivement l’air séduisante mais pour les villes surtout, qui sont effectivement impossibles à toutes recenser. Penses-tu qu’il soit possible de dire au plugin de prendre en compte deux profile fields au lieu d’un (Ville + Pays) ? De manière à ce qu’il localise encore mieux, et pour éviter les erreurs (il existe des villes qui ont le même nom dans des pays différents).

Pour l’intégration d’une liste de pays dans BuddyPress, j’ai suivi le process décrit ici :
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-a-country-drop-down-list-in-profile-field/#post-147697

J’en suis à l’étape de copier coller une liste des pays du monde dans mon fichier CSV extrait de ma BDD, mais je bloque sur les ID par pays : dois-je les étendre simplement sous Excel ? J’ai peur en faisant ça de me retrouver avec un ID de pays identique à un ID d’autre chose de mon WordPress (ID de post, ID de catégorie ou autre)… ça serait problématique ?

Merci pour ton aide et désolé pour l’emploi du Français.

Hi,
It is coming from members/single/profile-loop.php

It seems you don’t have the xprofile fields(or the user has not entered data) or you have some sort of privacy enabled on those fields which are preventing the fields to be visible. Otherwise, the xprofile fields should be visible there by default.

@jordas Yes I’ve created a ticket for the issue and it looks like a general issue rather than just affecting you.
