BuddyPress.org

Have a look at the member-header.php file in bp-default theme. It documents how to add fields.

Follow those instructions to add them in the member-header equivalent in your child or standalone theme… or add them in an action hooked on to bp_profile_header_meta

Ok, to set new fields for your members you should read the paragraph ‘Optional: Set Profile Fields’ of this tutorial
http://wpmu.org/the-illustrated-guide-to-installing-and-setting-up-buddypress-1-5/

if you mean login in with email, then you can try this interesting plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-email-login/

then you can add a function in the functions.php file of your active theme to change the label of the sidebar login form :

add_action('bp_after_sidebar_login_form', 'bp_login_by_email_adapt_login_form');

function bp_login_by_email_adapt_login_form() {
?>

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
usernameoremail = $("#sidebar-user-login").parent().html().replace(/Username/ig, 'Username or email' );
$("#sidebar-user-login").parent().html(usernameoremail);
});

<?php
}

or if you’re using a child theme of BP-default theme, you can add/edit the template sidebar.php and replace the label for=sidebar-user-login by Username or email.

To build this kind of feature, you need to be a PHP developer:

• You’d add new profile field groups for each type of stat (or if the stats are too complex for profile fields – a custom component to handle them).
• You’d then assign a role to each member based on whether they are a batter, pitcher or fielder – ideally implemented using the underlying WordPress user roles.
• Finally, you’d implement conditional logic in your templates to display appropriate profile field groups based on the member’s role.

Hi websitevala,

To add custom fields to your registration page, you’ll need to add xprofile fields. To do so in WP Backend, you should go / BuddyPress menu / Profile fields submenu

And for the other thing, as you noticed emails are hidden, there might be a spam risk reason to that. And as a user, i wouldn’t like to have my email shown on my profile.. So i dont think it’s a good idea.

From time to time, we hear reports of this. No-one has figured out if it’s a theme issue, or a plugin issue, or a BuddyPress issue, or some sort of WordPress config issue. I’ve never been able to recreate it, nor have the other core developers, which suggests it’s something outside of BuddyPress or the BP-Default theme.

This has been brought up in the forums before. I recall some causes to pre-filled profile fields in registration page:
– plugin conflict with an SEO plugin and a captcha plugin – can’t recall specifically which ones but deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress, then activating plugins by batches of three helped them identify the culprit/s.
– theme conflict where theme added options for SEO and the like

Hi @creaturis,

I think the best solution is to avoid recording an activity if the post has one of the category you want to exclude from activity stream, in the functions.php file of your active theme, you can try this code :

function do_not_record_this_category( $post_id, $post ){

/* this is the array that contains the category to exclude */
$ids_to_exclude = array( 4 );

if ( 'publish' != $post->post_status )
return false;

$categories = get_the_category( $post_id );
$in = false;

if( count($categories) > 0 ) {

foreach ( $categories as $category ) {

if( in_array( $category->cat_ID, $ids_to_exclude) )
$in = true;

}

/* if the post has at least one excluded category, then we remove the BuddyPress hook that records an activity */
if( $in )
remove_action( 'save_post', 'bp_blogs_record_post', 10, 2 );

}

}

add_action( 'save_post', 'do_not_record_this_category', 9, 2 );

In 1.6 you can set the visibility of profile fields to logged in users, friends or anyone. I haven’t seen the behavior you’re describing.

I believe everything in the Base profile field group is on the registration form.

If you create a new group of profile fields, those won’t be on the registration form.

The only change to the database structure for BP 1.6 is to the bp_activty table. We’re adding the following column, and index:

is_spam tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
KEY is_spam (is_spam)

You’re welcome. testbp.org’s running BP 1.6 trunk and the registration page just has the profile fields you can add as site/super admin.

Yes, there are major changes in upcoming BP 1.6. You can add profile fields via dashboard menu Users > Profile Fields

Usually a custom theme issue. Change to bp-default theme and check if issue is corrected.

you could create custom profile php. save the user type to user meta. then do an if statment to populate page.

Id have one page that switches through user type and then calls a seperate page with profile code

you might have trouble with different fields

I working on getting a list of members based on the fields they selected on the extended profiles fields in buddypress. Here is my code

{
global $wpdb;
$membership_group = “Orange Membership (30,000 Naira/Year)”;
$db_query = “SELECT user_id FROM wp_bp_xprofile_data WHERE field_id = 33 AND value = “” .$membership_group .”””;
$match_ids = $wpdb->get_var($db_query);
$get_these_members = ‘include=’ .$match_ids;

if (bp_has_members($get_these_members, ‘per_page optional=9’)) { ?> //Some Codes here
?>
}

The result is returning just the first member it gets from the query instead of a list of members. Please what i’m i doing wrong.

Thanks

John – have you resolved this question? I’m interested in doing the same thing… would be grateful for guidance if you’ve been able to achieve what you described.

What does this mean “matches the page” ?

You need to know the field_id (numeric) of the profile field(s) you want to match.
Take a look at this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/search-member-profile-fields-by-url/

Untested, but try this:

`
add_action (‘xprofile_updated_profile’, ‘profile_change_notify’);
function profile_change_notify ($id, $posted_field_ids, $errors) {
$global $wpdb;

if( $errors )
return;

$names = ”;

foreach( (array)$posted_field_ids as $field_id ) {
$sql = ” SELECT name FROM wp_bp_xprofile_fields WHERE id = ‘$field_id’ “;
$name = $wpdb->get_var( $sql );
if( $name == ‘Country’ || $name == ‘City’ )
$names .= ‘ ‘ . $name;

}

if( $names != ” ) {
$user = new WP_User ($id);
wp_mail (‘myname@mydomain.com’, ‘Subject ( ‘ . $user->user_login . ‘ just updated the Profile )’, $names);
}
}
`

This Plugin may help, tested on a single site, hasn’t been tested on a multi-site install. I was having the same issue, so I had this developed. Let me know if it works for you.

FYI: I submitted it to WP for inclusion in their repository, should be there soon.
