BuddyPress.org

@natetheaverage –

an outline solution (there are lots of areas where you’d have to work to implement it):

When a group is created, you could write a hook that creates a corresponding xprofile field group (remember to hook on delete group as well to remove the profile field group)
In the member’s profile screens, you would hide that xprofile field group if the member is not a member of the group
In a hook on Join Group, you’d want to display an additional screen that prompts for the user fields, and when that is submitted use the xprofile API to write the data to the user’s profile
I guess finally, you’d also want to modify the members loop inside the group to show that information

There’s a lot of code for you to trawl through

Frank – while I am new to BuddyPress (started it on a site today), i think you are working on similar layouts at moment that I am. The file I just finished re-working was “member-header.php” – I had added Profile Fields like Gender, Age, Etc. to display Gender for Example I used:

‘[?php bp_profile_field_data( ‘field=Gender’ );?]’

basically add the name of the Profile Field you wish to display and use the Field Title name you gave it in the format above.

Other than that its just editing CSS and adding text etc to layout. I am still working on many things – its the one area I really want to pop is the Profiles pages.

I hope it helps!

This is really not easy to change. The options for the date field are generated deep inside the bp_get_the_profile_field_options() function, right near the bottom of it:

`for ( $i = 2037; $i > 1901; $i– )`

I would suggest you use the ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_datebox’ filter and manually strip out the OPTION fields that you don’t want.

Im guessing from what you have said you are using my twitter and klout plugins, what I could do is build a custom plugin for you – having all your requested features in one interface..

It will not be free though it wont cost a arm and a leg, if you are interested contact me at nit3watch@gmail.com

BuddyPress profile fields do show by default when you visit a profile. So, it sounds like either your theme, or a plugin is causing the problem.

Did you create your profile fields from the BuddyPress menus in wp-admin?

The most likely candidate for the problem sounds like the plugin you are using to add buttons and maps to the user profiles.

Try deactivating that plugin – do the profile fields show?

Try switching to bp-default theme – do the profile fields show?

If they are still not showing — deactivate all your plugins except BuddyPress, use the default theme, and go to the Profile Fields section in wp-admin … are they definitely set up correctly in there? Are privacy settings correct? Do the profile fields show now in the front end?

By breaking your search down for a solution step by step like this, you’ll be able to determine what is causing the problem (your theme or one of your plugins).

They will be there under Profile>Public

Where is it you would like them to show up?

For example these are custom fields being called in the group header, same thing can be done with the members header

In 1.6 beta 2 https://buddypress.org/2012/07/buddypress-1-6-beta-2/ there is a facility to restrict visibility of profile fields to —-> Anyone, Logged In Users or My Friends.

In addition there is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-privacy/ for earlier versions of buddypress. This can restrict visibility of profile fields to —-> Everyone, My Friends, or Only Me

I’m interested too. Some users might want that.

It’s possible – but not via the extended profile fields.

The best solution probably involves developing a custom BP profile component to handle the images, and then some front end manipulation to make it appear ‘in position’ in profile edits / views.

See and test https://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/buddypress-1-6-beta-2-is-ready-to-test/

SOME privacy issues have been addressed. But not to the extent of being able to (out of the box) hiding members profile, groups, pages from visitors.

Just, now, visibility of individual profile fields can be allowed to be toggled/or fixed by admin between

bear with the ignorance !

`` What do I replace this with ?

Many thanks for the tip. I presume adding the line to the functions.php of a child theme would have the same effect.

Crazily enough the plugin still works perfectly. Haven’t tried the linking to social networking bit yet. But otherwise all good. Separate words can be links with square brackets, and you can exclude fields altogether.

I’d suggest you look at wp_mail as the starting point https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_mail. You can hook into the profile fields (with some custom coding) and send using that I think.

I would say looking at a plugin would be a good point to see code if not a direct solution for you.

Yes, you need to echo the value returned by bp_get_member_profile_data(), or just use bp_profile_field_data() as you’ve done

To make the URL clickable, add an anchor tag and use bp_get_member_profile_data() to get the value for the href attribute.

Presume this is the best place for feedback. if not let me know and i’ll do a separate topic.

Bp 1.6 Beta 1 and up to trunk 6154 and wp 3.4.1 local install

on a single site with bp default theme and on a multisite with child of bp default.

Changes to Profile fields visibility don’t seem to be sticking

Hobbies – not a required field Who can see this field ? Anyone (default)

Change Anyone to Logged in Users and Press Save Changes.

Green Box arrives on top of page —-> Changes Saved

But the changes are NOT saved. Everything stays the same !

Refresh page/Empty cache —> No help,

Same for non-admin user as for admin.

I have a good few plugins active and that possibly could be the cause.

Will disable these tomorrow to check.

In the meantime it would be great to have this confirmed or refuted.
