BuddyPress.org

Hello,

Within that plugin you can set it (without having to modify the plugin) to just to friends, private or public, this is done from within the plugin page within wordpress, this then allows the user to chose on the front end.

I might also suggest,

http://bp-tutorials.de/2010/09/private-buddypress

This plugin makes your whole install private to non logged in users, thus creating another layer of privacy.

I hope this helps somewhat.

>You cannot use PHP in the button url field, only HTML.

You mean the onClick parameter?

Why not? Something like
`
global $bp;
$this_url = $bp->loggedin_user->domain . ‘profile/edit/group/1’;
<input type=button onClick="location.href=''” value=’edit profile’>
`

I prefer to use this approach
`

`

If you want to include a nonce, it’s a bit more complicated.

I found this plugin to also be helpful, particularly at identifying the field names very clearly.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/navayan-csv-export/

Simply install, go to tools, find the wp_bp_xprofile_data and wp_bp_xprofile_fields and export.

Actually with that info you can do quite a bit. But I think the profile fields is a great reference to complete the code array( above.

Warm regards,

BJ

The profile labels and data are rendered in table rows. You could copy over the profile-loop.php file to your child theme folder /themes/childtheme/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php and change the table/rows/columns into divs/spans etc.

Or how about something like https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/interactive-profile-fields-during-registration/#post-121132 ?

Is there any reason why you can’t have both/all fields on the initial signup and let the user choose which they complete? Fields required to display on registration need to go in the ‘Base’ group.

I do not want to completely turn this off. Instead, I want to disable this only for specific profile fields. How can I do that?

https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/#examples ?

By default everyone has a profile page within a Buddypress site under domain.com/members/username. You can edit the information that gets added to that profile in Buddypress/Profile Fields. If you want to centralize the community around the profile you can add something like this: http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-redirect-to-profile/ which would redirect your users directly to their profile when they log in.

You could also allow them to customize the background of their profile with this if you really want to go wild: http://buddydev.com/buddypress/allow-your-users-to-change-their-profile-page-background-using-bp-custom-background-for-user-profile-plugin/ although that has the potential to get really ugly.

fix? It’s like that by design, it allows a user to search for other .users with similar interests..

However, if you want more control – Their’s a plugin for that. (we should seriously steal apples “theirs an app for that” marketing.)
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/

Could this plugin be the solution for this problem? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-conditional-profile-field/

Anybody got this plugin to work? Seems non-functional to me…

1. Can I control what fields are visible during registration?
By default everything within the ‘base’ profile group is shown in the registration field, you can mess around with the stuff within the registration template, removing the call to the base group and then adding the required fields in manually… but your better off just moving things you don’t want on the register page into other groups.

2. Can I control when certain Profile fields are displayed in the Profile Section?
Sure can. https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-profile-data-loop-bp_has_profile/
3. Can I control when certain Profile Group Fields are displayed?
See codex link above.The profile data loop includes two loops, one for the fields and another one for the field groups.

I would like to have this, but I want to also upload my own avatars in random order out of a list of say 10 different avatars. Similar to what wavatar does but I want my own images.

== I tried to create a group name under profile setting, But it can’t allow me to create one ==

First, in your new test site, do not activate any plugin except BuddyPress; and only use the bp-default theme.

Just so we’re on the same page, when you say you created a “group name”, do you mean you clicked on the button “Add New Group”? Only the fields you create in the base group will show up in the registration form.

Test: click on “Add New Field” as seen here https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#bp-xprofiles then add a field with description and save. Log out. Then clear cache and go to registration page.

What other plugins are you running?

This plugin works in thousands of sites. Re-reading your previous posts, have you checked whether you can add profile fields in BuddyPress > Profiles in base group? Have you contacted your host’s tech support and/or checked your forums re any issues about BuddyPress installations?
