BuddyPress.org

Dashboard menu BuddyPress > Profile Fields.
Note that any fields in the “Base” group will appear on the signup page == registration page. So create another xprofile group for the fields which could be answered at a later date.

I use a combination of xprofile and BuddyPress Profile Privacy. Granted this does not automatically create new ‘tabs’ it does allow you to separate Profile Fields into Groups and give the user control of who has access to what. I have a separate group for Social Networks. This allows the user to enter their social network information. Facebook Profile, Twitter, MSN, AIM, etc. This Social Network ‘group’ is displayed below the user’s other profile information.

Adding them isn’t a problem at all, (although I am sure you know this, sorry if I am being over-simple) you just go to the dashboard, go to buddypress -> profile fields and then add the ones you want in there. You’d need to create a hook into the sign-up process to then restrict the sign-up based on age though, which becomes more complex

@dtay1985 , yeah I just tried it but I dont get how you get the additional profile fields that are unique, dependant on which user type that chosen..

By default, BP has only that ‘name’ profile field. All BuddyPress profile fields are separate and distinct from any field in the WP user profile. For example, creating a field in BP called ‘biography’ won’t have any link or relation to the WP profile field of the same name.

The “profile syncing” option in BP, I believe, only tries to take your BP profile field ‘Name’, and separating on a space, populate WP profile’s First name, Last name, and Display Name fields.

My crop tool wasn’t working and it ended up being an error with the way I had enqueued the scripts and a JS error. After upload I was just seeing two versions of the image I had uploaded but no crop tool and nothing was interactive.

Be sure that jquery and jcrop are actually being called.
And check out those type errors. It could be stoping JS on those breaks.

I had wp-activate-users installed and there was a big typo in the JS that ended up being my main culprit for breaking a few other things as well.

dont look lke a buddypress driven site! specialy he profile fields!

I’m a bit unclear on the use of the word ‘groups’ here (BP is not entirely clear either). There are ‘profile field groups’, which are groupings of profile fields, and then there are Groups. You’re talking about profile field groups, right?

Note that profile fields will only show up on a user’s profile if the user has filled in some data for that field. So if you’ve added new fields, they won’t show up on a user’s public profile until they have filled something in.

Hi @takuya and @cyrille13 – Sorry for some of the miscommunications above. It was only after seeing the linked bug report that I was able recognize that what you were reporting was actually an instance of https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3725, which we’ve known about for a while, but which was very difficult to track down. (See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3725#comment:7 for all the gory details.) It has been fixed for the next version of BP. In the meantime, you can fix your installation either by manually applying https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5778, or by doing what @cyrille13 suggests: changing the name of your Full Name profile field at Dashboard > BuddyPress > Profile Fields.

Thanks for your patience.

I’ve been searching for an answer myself for awhile.. I kinda gave up on it but still was able to put
“ in the css in home.php and created divs and allowed the users to change the size, color, ect of their profile.

My apologies

@mysmallbizu
Please don’t hijack another thread with a different problem. It would be better start a new topic!

Is there a way to isolate the notifications from the other profile settings?

I’m using amember V4 to manage registration and subscriptions everything is working correctly except for 1 thing… The “settings” menu in the subscribers user profile goes to a blank white page “404” is the error I get.
for example…

The other issue is that because amember is handling the login and registration/ username and password etc. I’d only like the user to be able to edit their notifications from this menu… Not their U and P: is there a way to do this?

Until then couldn’t you use https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-profile-privacy/home/

In BP 1.6, we’ve added profile field visibility (privacy); ‘anyone’, ‘logged in users’, ‘my friends’. Try it out on testbp.org when you edit your profile. Not quite what you’ve asked for, but it should open up a new range of possibilities for plugin authors to filter things further.

No such thing sadly; you could ensure the fields are in a specific group of their own and then wrap that in a if is_admin check so only admins can read, if you are creating a theme for general use and wouldn’t know the field names then you may need to write a function of some description with dashboard option settings to manage things or check what BP plugins are available in the ‘privacy’ genre and see if they offer any greater control.
