BuddyPress.org

Hey, did anyone get this working? I too need a WYSIWYG editor for the text areas in the BuddyPress profiles. Can’t live without that.

Henry – I see your notes above, but a little hazy on where to put that in my edit.php file. Would you be able to spell it out more?

Basically, my edit.php file now shows this:

<?php while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); ?>

			<div<?php bp_field_css_class( 'editfield' ); ?>>

				<?php
				$field_type = bp_xprofile_create_field_type( bp_get_the_profile_field_type() );
				$field_type->edit_field_html();

				do_action( 'bp_custom_profile_edit_fields_pre_visibility' );
				?>

				<?php if ( bp_current_user_can( 'bp_xprofile_change_field_visibility' ) ) : ?>
					<p class="field-visibility-settings-toggle" id="field-visibility-settings-toggle-<?php bp_the_profile_field_id() ?>">
						<?php printf( __( 'This field can be seen by: <span class="current-visibility-level">%s</span>', 'buddypress' ), bp_get_the_profile_field_visibility_level_label() ) ?> <a href="#" class="visibility-toggle-link"><?php _e( 'Change', 'buddypress' ); ?></a>
					</p>

					<div class="field-visibility-settings" id="field-visibility-settings-<?php bp_the_profile_field_id() ?>">
						<fieldset>
							<legend><?php _e( 'Who can see this field?', 'buddypress' ) ?></legend>

							<?php bp_profile_visibility_radio_buttons() ?>

						</fieldset>
						<a class="field-visibility-settings-close" href="#"><?php _e( 'Close', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>
					</div>
				<?php else : ?>
					<div class="field-visibility-settings-notoggle" id="field-visibility-settings-toggle-<?php bp_the_profile_field_id() ?>">
						<?php printf( __( 'This field can be seen by: <span class="current-visibility-level">%s</span>', 'buddypress' ), bp_get_the_profile_field_visibility_level_label() ) ?>
					</div>
				<?php endif ?>

				<?php do_action( 'bp_custom_profile_edit_fields' ); ?>

				<p class="description"><?php bp_the_profile_field_description(); ?></p>
			</div>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

Maybe read here, the post and all the comments:

Fetching and Showing only Specific fields from BuddyPress XProfile data

Since BP 2.0, you can use bp_parse_args to customise template loops and on a much easier way as never before.

The example function below will hide profile groups with ID 1 and profile fields IDs 6, 18 & 39 on the public profile screen of each member and stay visible on the edit screen. Tested & approved 2.0.1

If you get some php warning while using this function, be aware that there is a bug in 2.0.1 bp-xprofile-classes.php (fixed. See ticket). Simply apply the lattest patch to get rid of this error.

function flegmatiq_profiles( $retval ) {	
   // conditionnals to set accordingly to your purpose
	if( !is_user_logged_in()  && !bp_is_profile_edit() ) { 
		$retval['exclude_groups'] = '2';	
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '6,18,39';	
		
	} 
	return $retval;
	
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'flegmatiq_profiles' );

In your particular case, you have to play with the conditionnals

The example below is to give you an idea how to handle this. Not tested !

function flegmatiq_profiles( $retval ) {
$myfield = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Faculty', $user_id );
if( empty( $myfield ) )
return; // or echo

   if( $myfield == "Faculty" ) 
      if( bp_is_profile_edit() ) { 
		$retval['exclude_groups'] = '1,56';	
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '6,18,39';	.
      }
   if $myfield == "field_name_2";
     // do something other...

return $myfield;

add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'flegmatiq_profiles' );

@simpleone,
you found the reason why it doesn’t work on one site and not on the other !
1.9.1 and 2.0.1 are sligthly different BP version !
And the function you mention whas only introduced in BP 2.0, so this can’t anyway work on previous versions.

Actually there is a small bug in BP 2.0+ when using this function to modify profile groups. I opened a ticket about this and @imath provided a patch that works and let the function handle correctly on profile groups. I personnally use this function to conditionnally show/hide fields from the base group without problems. My profile form contains over 20 fields in differents groups, even Base, and are all required and viewable by members only.

I advise you to cancel whatever you have done about this so far, to apply the patch, to add the function to bp-custom.php and to test again.

Hi @kizzywizzy.

Thank you for bringing this up.

I’m interested in created an additional Member Directory (keep default, and have a new page with a custom member directory).

In this new Custom Member Directory, I would like to do something similar to what you’re doing (filter members based on loggedin member profile fields). Basically create a list of Member Suggestions.

Any idea on how to use the code you’re provided to make the above happen?

Thank you!

danbp’s function works fine here.
Although in BP 2.0+, bp_is_profile_edit() should be bp_is_user_profile_edit() to avoid the deprecation notice.

Are you sure you’re inserting the correct ids?

Try this and see if it hides the Name field:

$retval['exclude_fields'] = '1';

Hi @SimpleOne,

read from line 154 in bp-xprofile-classes.php file. It contains many information for what you want to do.
See also on Codex here and here

You can also revert your changes back and use this kind of function (goes into theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php):

function simple_one_hide_some_profile_fields( $retval ) {	
	
	if(  bp_is_profile_edit() ) {		
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '48';	//field ID's separated by comma
		
	}	
	
	return $retval;
	
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'simple_one_hide_some_profile_fields' );

May this help ? 😉

1) Change group slug (old plugin does not work).
2) All possible types of X-profile fields (homepage URL, twitter URL, working multi-select boxes etc)
3) x-profile fields that can be set by admin and not edited by user.
4) Shortcodes or other options to display userquery based on x-profile fields. For example: display all users that have checked option ‘B’, all users that have run 2 marathons, all users from Europe etc.
5) easy way to change all base-level slugs (groups -> teams, members-> runners etc).

Try:

while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); 
if ( bp_get_the_profile_field_id() != 'ID # YOU WANT TO SKIP' && bp_get_the_profile_field_id() != 'ID # 2nd field YOU WANT TO SKIP' ) :

@antimuffin are you referring to extending profile fields. If so here’s the link for that which supports drop down select. however unsure if it supports conditional/dependent fields. You may have to look into a plugin.

i.e
Drop Down Select:
– option 1 NAME
– option 2 NAME
– option 3 Other
if other [TEXT BOX]
