BuddyPress.org

No, the custom profile fields don’t appear in the user’s profile page if they want to edit and add the extra info. That’s the issue. If I create a user from the front end, I have all the filled up fields but if created from dashboard from admin, I only have the name and this is the only field that I can see.

I’m also experimenting another issue here. When a user creates his profile and doesn’t enter info for the non mandatory fields, he doesn’t have the blank fields again in his profile if he wants to fill them later. Only the fields which are marked “required” appear (those he has filled up). How can all the custom fields be present in his profile for later editing???

A real headache right now and if you can help, this will be a real heal for my sore brain

btw, if i go to /members/username i can see their profile (with no imported fields just username and avatar )

Thanks
1. AMU is a plug-in called Add Multiple Users which https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-multiple-users/ It enables a CSV import of users. [Sorry for not being clearer in the OP].

2. Users added manually – ie using the WordPress new user screen – and users Registering using the front end – work fine in BuddyPress – [both those entered before and after doing the CSV import with AMU) ie the user has a profile page and can edit it.

3. All the users imported using AMU have all fields complete including first, last, nick and display names. The only empty fields are www, jabber and AIM.

4. Users from both the CSV import and the manual user added from the Users_Add_New_Screen screen are added to a BP groups using @boonebgorges‘ Buddy Press Group Management plug in. All appear in the group member list (and all members lists) but the ones bulk entered using CSV file do not have profiles.

I’m going to try doing another import and see if I get the same result.

We actually have a pretty limited number of users, who are paired as mentees and mentors. We want each mentor/mentee to be able to select their corresponding mentee/mentor from the list to make sure the spelling is the same. We also want to show linked pairs in another section, which is another headache all to itself.

The first name and last name are stored as xprofile fields because I needed the privacy and user controls that Buddypress provides. Role is also stored as an xprofile field because we’re using our own defined roles (mentor and mentee).

Looks like I’m going to have to get deep into the SQL to do this – was just hoping there was something easy I’d missed!

Does that mean that I can integrate users data with their blog. Right now the two are separated. I want to show blocks of information from a users profile in their blog. For instance:
Show profile fields, avatar upload and other info on a users blog page.
Is that possible?

thanks

Oh, I figured this out. Oddly, if you deactivate “Private Messaging” in BuddyPress it seems (at least for me) that the notifications information and content up until “Send a notification by email when:” stays. I was able to just comment out the Settings tab using CSS and move the update Password & Email fields to my Edit Profile section.

Thanks!

Thanks for the answers,

It would be better with profile fields (users are used to this kind of display for multiple games), but i’ll take a look into other solutions as you told Shane, and i’ll first look at files you mentionned.
I think that later i’ll look after plugin development (skeleton plugin is a very good way to understand basics), because highscores friends notifications + profile tab with games scores is an elegant and efficient way to socialise games activities (facebook proove it well…).

Indeed social + games website can suit well with bp and even better with plugins, Because plugins are often simpler than the bp core functions (like profiles are), it’s quite easy to plug them with other things.
As an example the drawing game connection with bp_album was very easy to develop, cause it was just some very basic php/mysql queries, i use just 2 or 3 queries to achieve this…
I also connect Cubepoints to one my game, the points can be converted in gold coins, by this way i can get more gamers social investisment in community.

Ok i’ll give news if i meet problems.

If any of your profile fields are asking for links, however, and your users input http://, you’re still going to get the same nofollow craziness!

Thanks @shanebp!

@shanebp Thanks so much for your response! I’ve included the source code from my profile-loop.php page. I appreciate your help!

I have been waiting over a month on this as well as my other post.. I am using wordpress 1.6.1, I was fine with version 1.5.7.. I checked all plugins and it is not my theme.. it has to be a buddypress issue. When using the extended profile with emoticons on not only do emoticon’s like this don’t work but other extended profile fields turn regular text into HTML links for no apparent reason at all.. this is very frustrating as I am about to launch a website and can not have this happening.. someone please help..
