BuddyPress.org

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:

BuddyPress Custom Background For User Profile

Im trying to do the same thing, this is a code that im using to config to something just like it.
Instead im using it to over lay the whole background of the users profile ( just a quick fix for privacy settings ) But for some reason it isn’t working like i wanted it too.. ( nor is it working at all ) Maybe you could use this in hopes it could lead you to your answer. Once again this is not a answer to your question, its just a code to help you get started.

Set to Private!

Ps. Let me if this helps and if you found a fix for it.

I think that is the default way that BP works.. (unless you have some addon).. I have found an addon called Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress which lets you selectively create links so that you can make all fields not links except for maybe twitter usernames, or account type, etc.

The core reason why it’s difficult to do infinite filters like this is because BP xprofile fields are abstracted. That is to say, in order for our profile fields to be extensible (so that your site can have different profile fields from mine) we have moved the profile data to a separate table, which is essentially a key-value table. This is in contrast to a solution where you store all profile data in a single table, making it very easy and fast to filter by many criteria at once (the trade-off being that the table structure needs to be set in stone).

The numbers you cite shouldn’t be much of a problem. You may experience some slowness if you try filtering along 7, 8, 9 criteria at the same time, though I suspect that this is probably an edge case. In any case, some solid MySQL query caching will help.

Hi Guys

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

First, you should enable registration in admin dashboard menu Settings > General

Capture more data from user by adding more profile fields. See Extended Profile fields https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/

It’s actually pretty simple. It’s explained very briefly in the plugin’s installation page: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-export-users/installation/

Step-by-step:
1. Download the plugin to your computer.
2. Unzip it and open the file bp-export-users.php in a text editor (notepad, notepad++, gedit, etc.)
3. Find these lines:
$this->wp_fields = array(
'ID',
'user_login',
#'user_pass',
'user_nicename',
'user_email',
'user_url',
'user_registered',
#'user_activation_key',
'user_status',
'display_name',
'spam',
'deleted');
4. Add the names of any custom WordPress user fields you want in ‘inverted commas’ before the closing bracket ) making sure you put a comma in between the fields. E.g. ‘deleted’, ‘custom field’, ‘custom field2’)
5. Find the lines:
$this->bp_fields = array(
'Name',
'Telephone',
'Job Title',
'Organisation',
'Region',
'Primary Discipline',
'Grade',
'A bit about you',
'twitter',
'flickr');
6. Add the names of any custom BuddyPress (xProfile) fields you want to export in the same way.
7. Save the file.
8. Zip the folder.
9. Install the plugin in your WordPress installation using the upload method.
And you should be away.

I may be way off from what your issue is, but I’m using the plugin Extended Profile Fields to make my new members fill in more information. Anything you create in the “base” group will appear on the signup page.

See BP XProfiles https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#bp-xprofiles last image there.

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…
