Hi All,

I used WP-FB-Autoconnect plugin. It works well if any existing user logs in using FB credentials. But, it is not stopping unregistered users from logging in. Ideally, it should direct the unregistered users to the registration page for them to fill some profile fields. Is there any way I could stop unregistered users from logging in using WP-FB-Autoconnect plugin? and also to redirect the unregistered users to the registration page.? Please help.

Also, is there any better free plugin that handles registration and login effectively? I am looking for FB login/register functionality something similar to the one in Pinterest..

@ashraf something’s getting lost in translation. Are you asking how to add profile fields (https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#users-profile-fields) and/or asking for a demo site which allows you to add profile fields (none public that I know of) ?

Yes, you can do this, but you need to write PHP code.

Have a look at some of the actions that are invoked when profile fields are saved, and hook on to those. It’s a little complicated because you aren’t told which fields have changed (just field groups), so you’ll probably also have to maintain previous value and compare to latest.

I think here is a good solution,

I am answering what you’ve stated in “I would like for a login to not use the admin bar and it all be a front end deal.”

As for registration, Paul asked you what you needed that was not already in BuddyPress, where by default, you can create xprofile fields in base (primary group) which users can fill up during registration. Then you could create a new profile group and fill it up with fields which users can fill up after they have registered.

== I get the normal wordpress user profile editable fields? ==

If you mean the first and last names in wp-admin user settings, then you have to create a script to call those as BP xprofile fields has its own settings. Otherwise, you can create First Name field and Last Name field in User > Profiles panel https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#users-profile-fields

Yes, you could create this but it would require custom coding. Great idea for using BP. The profile fields can be set up for the required info. The emailing members part is where the custom coding would come into play. You can use WP-Cron to find members with a profile field set to stolen and then execute a notification which will result in an email.

You can create a select menu but you have to enter options on field creation. No way to pull info from db

If you look at the xprofile creation page in dashboard you’ll see it says “Fields in the “Base” group will appear on the signup page.” thus if you create a new group and fields those will only appear on the users profile edit screens.

If you want to auto populate fields from other WP tables then you’ll need to write a script to do this.

I understand , he wants to add this data also below every member in every group’s directory , it means if Group A has 20 members he wants to show their profile fields in that Group A member’s directory, at this moment code shows members profile fields data only in members directory (general)

Nice snippet @ericreynolds007 , it works very well ! Did you managed to get to find a code for Group members directory ? Would be nice to show fields IF are present , otherwise hide

Yeah, a developer could create a plugin that had different info fields for different users. It’s just not a core feature to have profile fields for different users. The main reason for this is BuddyPress doesn’t have different types of users. Everyone is a subscriber. The admins and mods just pertain to groups.

I should elaborate, you could do conditional profile page design but you can not have conditional profile fields

Gravity forms has this very useful feature and I can’t imagine this plugin without conditional fields, I am using it a lot in every single form, try to take a look how this plugin works, maybe you will find some solution how to implement it.

This is far from ‘BASIC’, and also impractical from an interface perspective – for your specific requirement: 50 States each having say 50 cities, equates to 50 x 50 = 2,500 drop down controls you’d have to configure just on your 3rd layer.

It also doesn’t take into account handling this in a generic way, and other fields (apart from drop downs) that might equally well want conditional behaviour attached to them (checkboxes, value entered in number field, etc.).

Specialist form generation software might want to try and tackle this, but it’s not suitable for the base set of profile field functions offered by BuddyPress.

The best way to implement this for your Countries, States, Cities, etc. is to add the fields programmatically — if you search on Github, you’ll find a number of PHP arrays that have already been produced / maintained listing states and their corresponding cities.

You can iterate over these arrays in your code (a plugin, or functions.php, etc) and generate the fields programmatically using the xprofile functions provided in the BuddyPress API.
