Those should give you an idea

I have juste released my own plugin to force profile completion BP Force Profile : https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-force-profile/

you can create type of field you want you are only restricted by the types of entry methods there are.

wp admin Users > Profile fields

Click the field’s ‘edit’ button, and that’s where you change the description.

The email and password fields aren’t BuddyPress user profile fields, so they don’t appear in this screen.

It’s working fine for me. Look in the Profile Fields menu under Users.

No plugin but you can hook into the profile fields save hook and send an email. Google a bit. Im sure this has been posted before

HI, I am a recent transfer website owner from ning.com. I have a community there, and i’m moving this weekend to the WP platform. I have many questions, that I can’t really seem to find the specific answers to. The plug-in that this user spoke of (The features and more) can buddypress really manage a social community like the ning platform, and what about other features? Here’s what the user wrote:

@boonebgorges thanks for your response and plugin link, in terms of functionality it is almost exactly what I need, only:
– Need it to manage users instead of groups
– Need it to show their full profile fields (including xprofile)
– Need options to deactivate(very important) or delete users
– Need function to export list to excel sheet

I need similar functions in a plug-in and need to know whats the BEST plugin or what combination of plug-ins will give me the features for a membership community that I want, members want, and that are essentially need to maintain a viable members community. Here is what I need as far as features and functionality:

-Secured membership registration and login seprate from WP admin. So members CAN’T access the backend of my admin panel.

-After they join they are sent to their members profile page to add a bio, photos, videos, music, etc..and everything post in their profile page, and in the community videos, photos, and music display like on a youtube page or gallery style. I also, need profiles that look more custom instead of simple layouts or designs. This is a BIG problem we had with our ning platform. Wish we could offer up to 6 or more profile page templates for members to choose from, complete with comments and a better layout for uploaded videos, photos, music (In a player on profile.)

-Members display in a four/five accross…four/five down style grid instead of up and down like a list.

-Search for members, based on attributes or career choice or find all member in a certain category.

-Want a upload feature on whatever page or place I designate for members to upload content like videos, music, photos.

-Add paywalls on whatever page I need to, for the purpose of selling premium content to members.

-Add featured profile/members and delete/block members at will.

-Don’t want to use multisite plug in if I don’t half to. Rater not use it.

Any help here, or a push in the right direction with plug-ins for buddypress please let me know. Thanks in advance good people. Blessings.

@James – to add more profile fields to registration, go to your dashboard and under ‘Users’, choose Profile Fields. Add as necessary.

Start with:

<?php $formloop = 0; ?>
<?php if ( bp_is_active( ‘xprofile’ ) ) : if ( bp_has_profile( ) ) : while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>
<?php
if (bp_get_the_profile_group_id() != $formloop) {
$formloop = bp_get_the_profile_group_id();
$newfieldset = TRUE;
?>
<fieldset id="xprofile_<?php echo bp_get_the_profile_group_slug() ?>">
<legend><?php echo bp_get_the_profile_group_name() ?></legend>
<?php
}
?>
<?php while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); ?>
<?php$formlist[] = bp_get_the_profile_field_id(); ?>

—– Continue with the form code —-

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php
if ($newfieldset == TRUE) {
$newfieldset = FALSE;
?>
</fieldset>
<?php
}
?>
<?php endwhile; endif; endif; ?>
<input type="hidden" name="signup_profile_field_ids" id="signup_profile_field_ids" value="<?php echo implode(",", $formlist); ?>" />

Finished almost exactly the same requirement for a private community, certain profile fields consist of data needed to be added by the site rather than individual users, so set specific edit profile fields to super_admin only but allowed the public view, then as admin you just need to navigate to the users account and then use the admin links on adminbar to edit users profile.

Users are not a BP managed item, Users belong to WP thus adding new users does not present the same xprofile fields for editing.

streams are not related to profile fields. stream is created by site activity. i don’t think theres a decent way to hide that other then for admin users using a plugin or by modifying code stuff.

Just wondering, in future releases, will hidden profile field data be excluded from site member searches as well or is there a way to do this at the moment?

You can use the regular WP export users plugin. There’s no plugin that I know of that exports user with BP xprofile fields at this time.

@sorbic you’re probably right about it being an example or whatever cause i tried it with new fields and those didn’t work either at least for us.

As @sheffieldlad suggests, wp-fb-autoconnect delivers a good off the shelf solution, and provides some integration with BuddyPress profile fields

[ note: wp-fb-autoconnect is a facebook only solution, and everything is installed / controlled on your site; Pro version is a one off payment. Loginradius is a SaaS solution, with monthly payment plans to enable full features, remove labelling, etc. If you want a full SaaS solution, you should also look at Janrain, Gigya and Oneall. ]
