BuddyPress.org

Hey @davidveldt this should do it if you are using the default theme. Otherwise you should integrate as you see fit.

theme/registration/register.php

You can add any groups or fields as you require. The groups and fields here are arbitrary.

` ‘player’, 4 => ‘coach’, 5 =>’parent’, 6 => ‘instructor’); ?>

`

Create some profile groups to cater for each role. You can find the group id within the BuddyPress admin… In the url bar or investigate your database.

You should set-up the $roles array above to match your requirements.

Within the loop you can show any fields you have created within that xprofile group. If you have a select box within that group you would add the following code as outlined in the bp-default register.php

`

<label for="”>

<select name="” id=””>

`

Finally add the following jQuery where you house any other code of similar ilk.

`
jQuery(“.role-fields”).hide();
$roles = jQuery(“#roles”);
jQuery(“#field_2”).change(function()
{
$role = jQuery(this).val().toLowerCase();
jQuery(“.role-fields”).hide();
jQuery(“#” + $role).toggle();
});
`

Here’s a pastebin for all that above. http://pastebin.com/QFdTdstz

No need for tabs or accordion this time.

Hope that helps you on the Road.

Oh I can help you with that, lemme set up a local test area.

If you create a new xprofile group, then you could move some of those profile fields to these new groups and it won’t show up on the registration page.

To create a new xprofile group, login to the WP admin dashboard and navigate to “BuddyPress > Profile Fields” page. Next, click on the “Add New Group” button located in the header text.

Just an example here, running with Paul Gibbs start point.

Create xprofile fields as normal.

Each career group would also have its own xprofile group.

Player would have his / her own set of fields.
Coach would have his / her own set of fields.
Parent would have his / her own set of fields.
Instructor would have his / her own set of fields.

None of the above would be required fields. (as far as BuddyPress is concerned (unless you roll some PHP codes))

You’d have another xprofile group specifically for required fields (this would be your first group).

You would make the “type” part of the required group and set it as a select box.

You could then write your registration form mark-up matching the requirements of jQuery tabs or jQuery accordion.

The “type” would be the last item on the required fields. Once that was selected you could then show or hide the corresponding jQuery ui-tab-panel that holds those form fields.

You could then on-the-fly make those fields then required using some jQuery also but a bit hacky.

Sounds like a lot of info for the sign up form. What about jus putting a dropdown with the ‘person type’ in the first profile field group (which is the one that appears on the registration page by default), and then putting further type-specific fields into their own profile groups.

With a little bit of coding, you can deny visibility or access to these other profile groups depending on user type, without too much diffficulty.

If I am understanding you correctly you want people to be able to search for others by category?

You could add a profile field with a drop down selection box with the categories you have in mind.

I don’t know if you can select more than one so you may have to add this field 5 times if you want them to choose up to 5 categories.

I’m fairly new at this myself but I’m sure all the profile fields are searchable.

Anyway – just a thought.

You lost me at “but new members registering in these fields should never be visible only to the four basic fields “

Hi all,

I modified the code from DuableLLC a bit to check for roles. I post it in case someone is looking for a solution like that:

This function goes in the functions.php

`// to exclude only defined roles in the Buddypress Members LOOP

function exclude_by_role($exclude_roles) {

$memberArray = array();

if (bp_has_members()) :
while (bp_members()) : bp_the_member();
$user = new WP_User( bp_get_member_user_id() );
$user_role = $user->roles[0];
foreach ($exclude_roles as $exclude_role) {
if ($exclude_role==$user_role) {
array_push($memberArray, $user->ID);
break;
}
}
endwhile;
endif;

$theExcludeString=implode(“,”,$memberArray);

return $theExcludeString;
}`

Then in the template members-loop.php you use:
`$excluded_roles = array (‘administrator’, ‘author’, ‘subscriber’); // this can be any roles you have set up

if (bp_has_members( ‘exclude=’ . exclude_by_role($excluded_roles) . ‘&’ . bp_ajax_querystring( ‘members’ ) ) ) : ?>
`

What theme are you using? Has it been updated for BP 1.5+ ? If you change to bp-default theme, is issue corrected?

Pinging the entire core team and a forum moderator is not going to help get a quicker response.

This sounds like a weird bug, I have not seen it before. Is it all profile fields? Or just custom fields which you have created? Have you renamed the default profile field (if so, to what)?
Is it always the same user’s data, or does it change? Is this user an admin or have any other special role on your site?

If it’s the same problem, r-a-y suggested a different fix in https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-clear-the-previous-registration-form-data-1/

Facebook book login integration can be done with the WP-FB-Autoconnect plugin. I have tried it myself and it is a solid plugin, however FB avatar support is a tad wonky.

Really will depend on what your needs are. I am actually looking for answers to mapping profile fields between FB and BuddyPress so that I can roll my own integration.

Tried this is custom php, but got error message:(Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_get_profile_field_data() in /home/content/42/8142642/html/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php on line 4)

if ( $data = bp_get_profile_field_data( ‘field=user-groups ‘ ) ) : ?>

Hey! I know, its an old topic.

But did you get a solution?
I have the same problem. I want to have two fields for first- and lastname instead of fullname (field_1).

Best regards,
Razz!

Either you’ve forgotten you created that xprofile group name several weeks ago or another Site/Super Admin created that profile group

It’s not a Groups component but a Profile component. To edit the name of the Profile Group Name, go to wp-admin dashboard menu BuddyPress > Profile Fields and click on the Tab “Getting to know you” and click on Edit Group button under Profile Group Name.

As for adding an image fields in user profile, can’t do that in default and there’s no plugin for that at this time. You’d have to develop this or find a developer to do this for you.

This may get you part of the way there:
