BuddyPress.org

Off top of my head can’t recall where I was up to in testing ( I’ve created a ticket on the clear issue I found) but check carefully that you have set the option to allow user override on the profile field settings in backend.

Looking at the function that retrieves this label value it’s checking for an array name that doesn’t exist so is defaulting the label to ‘public’ This probably needs looking into, I’ll raise a ticket.

@scotm I’ve started on a checklist to test features of BuddyPress Components for BP 1.7 to be published in BP Codex, got 3 more components to go. It’s looking to be a long list 🙂 If you’d like to contribute to the Messaging, Profile Fields or other component you’ve started on, please feel free to do so 🙂

did you add that field in the profile fields set up? BP includes it’s own username field so you do not need to duplicate it

yes all items entered into the various profile fields should be clickable and function similarly to the way tags do in regular wordpress.

@modemlooper Hi George, I have your BBG Custom BP Visibility plugin installed but since this will be a new feature on BP 1.7 do I need to deactivate the plugin to avoid a conflict?

Also I have BP 1.6.4 installed but am dying to have 1.7 up and running, any idea when that version will be available? I know I can download the beta version but since I’m not a code guru by any means I prefer to do a standard upgrade via the plugin menu then doing it manually.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks for your reply kizzywizzy! I’ve added this code to the functions.php file but this adds some of the user data to the users activation email which is not what I want. Like this:

`WP_User::__set_state(array(
‘data’ =>
stdClass::__set_state(array(
‘ID’ => ‘827’,
‘user_login’ => ‘user’,
‘user_pass’ => ‘password’,
‘user_nicename’ => ‘stefanlesik’,
‘user_email’ => ’email’,
‘user_url’ => ”,
‘user_registered’ => ‘2013-02-18 17:05:46’,
‘user_activation_key’ => ”,
‘user_status’ => ‘0’,
‘display_name’ => ‘user’,
)),
‘ID’ => 827,
‘caps’ =>
array (
‘subscriber’ => true,
),
‘cap_key’ => ‘wp_capabilities’,
‘roles’ =>
array (
0 => ‘subscriber’,
),
‘allcaps’ =>
array (
‘read’ => true,
‘level_0’ => true,
‘subscriber’ => true,
),
‘filter’ => NULL,
))`

I’d like to display the all the xprofile data in the new user registration email that admin receives. Is this possible?

@km-schafer-1 thank you. The issue was corrected in BP 1.7 beta 1 available for download https://buddypress.org/2013/02/buddypress-1-7-beta-1/

@stephan83 This worked for me in BP 1.6.
`
add_filter(
‘bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_message’,
‘add_user_data_to_message’,
10,
2
);

function add_user_data_to_message( $msg, $user_id )
{
$user = get_user_by( ‘id’, $user_id );
return $msg . “\n\n” . var_export( $user, TRUE );
}
`

Hi, it’s not possibe out of the box and depending which BP version you use.

This perhaps may work on 1.5.x only:

How to Add an Image Field to Buddypress Extended Profile Fields

I’m also looking to do this. I realise this is an old post so there may be an easier way to add xprofile data to the wp user registration admin emails? I’ve tried searching but can’t find anything. Can anyone help? Thanks

You just need to create a WP post loop in the file members/single/profile/profile-loop.php. This function will add a loop to the bottom of profile fields. But it is not very pretty. This is just a base example.

`function bp_profile_show_posts() {

query_posts( ‘author=’ . bp_displayed_user_id() );

// the Loop

if (have_posts()) : the_post();

the_title();

the_content( ‘Read the full post »’ );

endif;

}

add_action( ‘bp_after_profile_loop_content’, ‘bp_profile_show_posts’ );`

It doesn’t really do anything unless you have other profile field groups. If you do, you will see the other groups as buttons also, in that case the “base” (or whatever you have renamed base to) button will bring you back to the “base” profile field group. “Base” refers to the default or required group of profile fields.

Hi, I am using this useful plugin named “Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress” to remove link of any fields I want.

This plugin dont come with admin panel, so need to edit the custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress.php file.

After this line:
`$no_link_fields = array( // Enter the field ID of any field that you want to appear as plain, non-clickable text. Don’t forget to separate with commas.`

You can add in the field (field name must match) that need to be linkless:
`’bio’,
‘something’ ,`

This plugin allows you to setup social field too like just enter facebook username or id and it will auto generate the url.

Note: this plugin is old and not update, there is an error with the social field url, but just need to apply this fixed:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress-new-profile-fields-in-16-ruins-the-functionality-of-this-plugin

Hope it helps.

I realized the secondary fields do show up on the profile page, but under a separate tab within the profile field. It’d be nice if the entire thing showed up, but that sounds like a fair bit of custom coding.

Okay so this topic was started an year ago. I am hoping there is some update being made on this.

I need to be able to do this. Even without the jQuerry just show specific fields for specific user types.

Anyone has any idea on how to do this ?

@Tux Kapono
I need to get this working too. I want the secondary fields to be only visible on the profile page.

Let me know if there’s a solution to this issue.

Thanks for the reply. I understand I could do that but its not quite what I’m after.

I want to be able to filter a custom post type with the details provided in the xprofile. The problem i have is that the data field i want to search by has many items in them (tick box list of attributes). I dont know how to explode them all (if explode is the correct php term??)

What im making is a custom post type of jobs advertised on the site and when they get to that index of posts i nead to search the posts custom fields or tags with their xprofile data field.

I hope that makes sense
