BuddyPress.org

In the admin under buddy press menu you will find “profile fields”. Click that to set profile field options.

i have the same issue. i have also in the wp admin menu only settings, profile fields, components and pages! i use wp 3,2,1 and buddypress 1,5,1 with sitewide forum. forum is simple press. bbpress didnt worked out. so i deactivated it. in the user bar i cant find the genaral groups page. as user or as admin. i have to put site.com/groups manually to see the groups listing page and create link! activitypage also. i mean the genaral pages. there are menus for member releated groups and activity. but genaral member list link is also missing: site.com/members. whats wrong?

I see now that if I go in the admin page of site in the FIELDS PROFILE I have the same problem! I have (normal) no name but I have male, 10-10-1996 etc… and I can’ t set any other default value for these fields.

Anyone resolve ?

Easiest way without changing your theme templates would be to put all your register fields into profile group 1, and all your other fields into another group. By default, only profile field group 1 appear on the registration page.

If, however, your theme isn’t BP-Default (or a child theme of), I’ve got no idea.

This will be very useful for membership sites…

Sounds like good enhancement/plugin

okay reverted back to the default and still the same issue

If I sign in as Admin and view a non-friend profile that has checked the privacy settings I get the message ‘you must be friends with this user to view their profile’ all is good, but..

If I sign in as a member and go to a friends profile – again that has their privacy settings checked I cannot see any of their profile fields – plus there is nothing on display in terms of the above notice – you must be friends blah blah

I got rid of ALL walled-garden edits and still the issue persists dude

The trouble is in total I’m running 10 plugins

I’ve stripped my plugins down to the bone and even sacrificed a couple that I ‘want’ more than ‘need’ if you know what I mean, so can’t afford to lose anymore or major functions on the site will be sorely missed.

Is it at all possible that this issue with the privacy plugin is ringing any other ‘alarm bells’ apart from plugin conflict..?

Just read you don’t want to edit home.php. There isn’t a filter for privacy like there is with messages for showing profile sections. Messages and xprofile fields has logic for output and can be filtered but the actual page needs a code edit.

In the admin under BuddyPress menu there is a section “profiles” you can add more fields for users to fill out at sign up . These are not hidden, you will have to come up with your own solution. Hiding fieldsis on the development road map. There is also BuddyPress profile privacy plugin.

hello,

I try to do the same thing. I want to display a specific picture following the gender of the members.

I use add_filter and the picture of the profil is the good one but all others pictures from sidebar, for example, are the same…

Have you finally find a solution for this issue ?

Thanks in advance,

My test code :
function bp_remove_gravatar ($image, $params, $item_id, $avatar_dir, $css_id, $html_width, $html_height, $avatar_folder_url, $avatar_folder_dir) {
$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .’/images/bp_default_avatar.gif’;
if( $image && strpos( $image, “gravatar.com” ) ){
if ( bp_get_profile_field_data( ‘field=Gender’ ) == ‘Female’ ) {
$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .’/images/def_f_avatar.gif’;
return ‘‘;
}
if ( bp_get_profile_field_data( ‘field=Gender’ ) == ‘Male’ ) {
$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .’/images/def_m_avatar.gif’;
return ‘‘;
}
else {
return $image;
}
} else {
return $image;
}
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_fetch_avatar’, ‘bp_remove_gravatar’, 1, 9 );

Get xprofile field result, run it through an if, and just get the avatar out of your images folder of your theme. No buddypress avatar functions needed.

Your code should work because this code : php bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=Country’ ); works for me in members-loop.php – didn’t try it in BP 1.5 yet

BP Media has a nice upload function accesable from the users profile, if you dig through their plugin files im sure youd find a similar function. Or are you looking for some sort of shortcode for users?

Theres also https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/screenshots/ which might be sort of what your looking for…

Hi there,

I am having a major issue in that the registration is not populating the fields in the user database. Can anyone help? intooutside.org/sign-up

Somehow the fields are not inputting the data into the user profile (ie: first, last names are required and they are nowhere in the database). This happened after I installed Buddy Press

Help!

PS I am not a coder and know conceptually, so speak laymen if possible in your response

I have been asking for the same thing but no answer. This should be something that the Buddypress theme should integrate in future versions! It should be fairly simple and very useful! Not to mention a simple way to show the extended profiles…

@katje, were you able to get a resolution on finding a multiple-criteria “search” plugin?

@boonebgorges, Boone, I hope I’m not hijacking the thread because my question reflects one of katje’s questions: Is there a plugin or something close (that I could point a developer to) that would accomplish a multiple criteria search across the membership directory? Here’s a scenario: Let’s say that my membership comprises global athletes, both professional and social. Furthermore, each one of these athletes compete in many different sports. My potential membership could be in the hundreds of thousands, probably millions. My users would need a way to sift through a directory of that size. So, if my xprofile fields contain tria-thletes some of whom have held the profession of astronaut, then I dare say 99.99% of the membership would not meet that criteria. It’s an extreme example which I hope illustrates the need across general searches.

BTW, if this is considered hijacking a thread, please let me know and I’ll create a new topic.

Hi Boone,
I am trying to create a multi step sign-up registration page. Preferably also include some new profile field such as multi category drop down list and country with flags. Should i create new rows in wp_bp_xprofile_fields?
or just follow the example above and it will create it for me?
I was also wondering if I can have have something like step1, step2 etc like godaddy.com?
