I found what’s triggering the Issue. I had changed the names of the profile fields from the admin menu (which should not break this anyway 
). Changed the Profile Field Group “Base” and the default input “Name” for “Info” and “Full Name” respectively. That broke the saving data system.
Hope the core developers cant fix this, thanks!
Please be patient. No, I’ve not seen any customisations of the profile fields that work like this. You’d probably have to hire a developer to build it for you.
@christophg Sorry for the delay in getting the registration/profile idea to you. Here is what I do:
I use S2member to keep my customers and brands separate. I then created a new profile group called “Company Profile”. I made this the last profile group. I then added the following code to the file:
members/single/profile/edit.php
`
<?php if (S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_ACCESS_LEVEL
ul.menu li:last-child{display:none;}
.company-profile{display:none;}
`
The above code hides the profile group on the edit menu from users below level 2, my brand level. And it also hides the profile group edit fields from anyone below level two. In case the menu item shows for some reason. And, unfortunately, this will not hide the menu item from users in IE 8 and below. But it WILL hide the profile group from them.
I tried using jquery to affect last-child in IE. Although I can get the jq to work on a test page on IE, it won’t work on the menu item… not sure why.
Next, my brands all belong to a private group, and I use a group conditional script to show the brands profile info front and center on their profile page with custom styling. This allows the brand members only to have a slick looking page that is different from regular consumer pages.

Let me know if you need anything else. Or if something doesn’t make sense.
@djpaul Thank you very much I’ve fixed the problem 
I take the occasion of your presence here to ask you how to set mention notification in admin bar and if it is fixed in bp 1.5 give me the code because I wouldn’t update my website so far..
heeeeeeeeeeeeelp please @r-a-y @hnla @mercime
Fixed:
`
function DisplayedUserEmail() {
global $bp;
echo ‘
‘;
}
add_action( ‘bp_after_profile_field_content’, ‘DisplayedUserEmail’ );
`
Could present a security risk unless you only allow specific code
I agree with @modemlooper, there’s no need for a plugin if it will be implemented in core(hope it will run quicker), group’s fields is very important feature and I think that for many users who use groups as company & venue’s descriptions like me also much more important than profile fields. If not I hope @slaffik will finish his great work on it globally.
BP should definitely have them in core, just like they do for profile fields.
BP should definitely have this in core – just like like they do for Profile fields.
@r-a-y I have something working but it’s real dirty looking… wondering if someone sees this and can offer a much neater way of going about this. maybe it will inspire someone to make an advanced plugin because this is a very interesting function of xprofile fields driving the content received by members i would think.
`
<?php global $bp;
if (bp_has_members(‘include=’.$bp->loggedin_user->id)):
while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member();
$suggestions = bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=Interests’ );
$nosuggestions = bp_get_profile_field_data((‘field=Interests’) == “”);
endwhile; endif; ?>
`
I’d also like to add a way to recognize no suggestions and display a message that says no suggestions available.
Anyway this is for loggedin user and multisite feed but it can be done on a single blog just by removing the switch_to and restore_current.
@linusf I tried that plugin, and while it installs cleanly in 1.5, it doesn’t seem to work. I don’t see any areas where I can set privacy options on my profile fields.
thanks @DJPaul. Will take your word. I still doubt if the search will be efficiently. I want to have a backup plan in case going forward this slows down the search.
Thanks.
@Alan, or can someone please help me look at this code to know if something is wrong, have tried it and everything seems ok if the member did not add the “country field” as it shows the link and take you to the edit page, but immediately you input the field “Country” e.g “UK” and save, it breaks both Admin bar and the Sidebar.
Thank you Gorges, but I already activated the invite anyone. It needs email addresses; what I want is for users to be able to search for other members on multiple criteria and to invite them. With 10.000 members you don’t want your users to have to scroll through the whole list to find someone.
I’m not a developper but with some reasoning I reckon it must be simple to use the profile form. I put a lot of fields there as required and text becomes links as well. You could let a search and invite feed on the profile information.
Nothing like that available?
And how difficult will it be to create a plugin like that?
@Alan, i will try it and if i run into any problem , i will let you know.
regards
`
<?php
global $bp;
$data = bp_get_profile_field_data(‘field=Country’);
$user_status = is_user_logged_in() ;
$add_data_link = $bp->loggedin_user->domain . ‘/profile/edit/group/1’;
?>
`
Make sure that you change the link in $add_data_link at the end … you can check out the slug and see in what group is the Country field located …
I think it could be achieved by adding an empty checking which i have no clue. i think something loke “if empty return” could do.
Could this work with a empty checking or null value on the $data? That would be my first suggestion.
It’ll be fine. xprofile’s database structure is good.
