Hello all

Well I tried doing this myself but I managed to completely ruin one of my sites so I thought I better ask you guys about this one.

Basically I am trying to use buddypress on more then 1 site, but buddypress needs to use the same database tables or atleast sync the database tables of the main installation onto the other database tables of my other websites as I am currently running 4 different sites 2 of which have completely different domains I can’t really enable wordpress multisite and do it that way.

Basically I want to have the same profile fields on all of my sites and have the notifications, messages and etc

Wordpress Version: 3.8 (On all sites)
BuddyPress version: 1.9.1 (On all sites)

So if anyone can help it would be appreciated.
Thanks, Liam

I’ve read this article on Segregated X-Profile Fields for Multisite which explains how to “create separate tables for each site, so Extended Profile Fields work independently on the network”.

Looking at the example code, it only shows how to segregate X-Profile fields.

Before I go down a path that could lead to much frustration, can anybody tell me if the same is possible with groups?

Perhaps by adding a few lines of code to the example:

function add_custom_bp_groups_tables($sql) {
...
  $sql[] = "CREATE TABLE {$wpdb->prefix}bp_groups (
    // bp_groups table fields would go here
  ) {$charset_collate};";
  return $sql;
}

add_action( 'bp_init', 'modify_bp_global_groups_tablenames' );
add_action( 'switch_blog', 'modify_bp_global_groups_tablenames' );

function modify_bp_global_groups_tablenames() {
	global $bp, $wpdb;
	$bp->groups->table_name            = $wpdb->prefix . 'bp_groups';
	$bp->groups->table_name_groupmeta  = $wpdb->prefix . 'bp_groups_groupmeta';
	$bp->groups->table_name_members    = $wpdb->prefix . 'bp_groups_members';
}

And, by default, does the member’s loop only query users of the current blog, or does it query users for the entire network?

Currently I don’t see a plugin for this but wanted to know if there was an alternative to show users country flag based on selection of profile fields. And if it was possible to place around the user name area. Thanks in advance!!!

I have an alumni site and added fields for Graduation Year (drop down) and current residence (City (optional), State (drop down) and Country (drop Down) and About Me (multi line text)
I also added fields for current last name versus name while in school.
The registration form looks fine but when I pull up a member record the data is messed up. An example would be
Last Name while in school: John Smith
Last Name current: EH
First Name: CM
Class of : 1995
City: WK
State: MB Manitoba
Country: Swaziland
About me: BD

The class of is a drop down and the 1995 is correct.
The State is a drop down but MB was not correct for this person.
Country is a drop down but Swaziland is incorrect for this person.

I read that changing the name of the Name field might cause a problem but that post was 2 years ago and appears to have been corrected.

Any ideas what I set up incorrectly?

Note: Some registrations go through cleanly but most are coming through with these types of errors.

How can I set some of the extended profile fields to show up in the admin section under the user list screen?
Or if that can’t be done – can I set a link to the user profiles fields from that screen?
I am currently setup to manually approve new registrations before they can access buddypress, but from the user page in admin I have no way of knowing anything about the subscriber other than their email address.
Thanks!

I am trying to create a Jobs website that reflects both sides – the job seeker and the employer. I am using extended profiles for the Job Seeker to create a resume/profile. I have added Resume type fields and it works as expected. The problem is when an Employer registers to post jobs they need a basic registration process – they do not need to fill out the long Resume type profile. Is there a way to have 2 different types of profiles on the site?
