Thanks for the help. I understand how to create additional groups and fields. In there it says only fields added to the base group or ID=1 will be displayed on the registration page. Looking at Dorothy’s page it looks like she has multiple groups in there. I wanted to do the same. I don’t see a way of creating a group under that base group.

I could create all of the fields under the base group but this will cause display issues under the profile. I want certain info to display in a certain order (company and contact information). Code in register.php only calls one group. Not proficient in php enough to change it to call one or more by ID. Obviously the base group is 1. Can change this to any other but need to add multiple. i.e. group 1 and 3. Any ideas would help me a lot.

<?php if ( function_exists( 'bp_has_profile' ) ) : if ( bp_has_profile( 'profile_group_id=1' ) ) : while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?
missing closing at the end i know
Do you know also why all of the information in a profile display as a link? Please see http://marketplace.questus5.com for more information. Thanks in advance for any help.

@dorothysulzmann –

No short cuts on jQuery – but it’s quite straightforward to setup a simple script like you’ll need: their site is good and full of useful examples: http://jquery.com/

show() and hide() are basic jQuery – and there are plenty of animation options you can apply.

Also, take a look in the WordPress codex re: wp_enqueue_script – their recommended way of loading javascripts.

Otto playing around the backend probably It’s working now.

looks like something is up with the wordpress.org servers – takes a few refreshes to get the file to download

@questus5

Look at your bp admin section, you will see the custom profile link you use that to create new groups and fields, as long as a new group is created under the ‘Base’ level then it will appear on the registration page.

@dorothysulzmann
As a workaround I would move the three type selections labeled ‘Fan off’? to just after the primary details and use the tree types as just that to confer a user type to each member but also run a simple jQuery show/hide on the further groups so all are hidden and then a check is performed to catch the radio selection and the appropriate group revealed with perhaps a ‘none’ control selection default.

The proper approach would be to complete a section and then pass the form control fields in a session or buffer to the next view to complete further sections but with BP that will likely start to get complicated, as techguy says there is no quick easy way to do this but with client side scripting it wouldn’t be that difficult.

I see that you are displaying 3 profile groups. How did you manage to get multiple profile groups to show in your registration. I can only get the default group to show and would like to add another one. Any help would be appreciated.

ok, with thanks to http://cleverness.org/2010/08/08/add-user-types-to-wordpress-and-buddypress/ found another starting point:

Put this in you BuddyPress theme /registration/register.php file:

`Account Type:

User Type A
User Type B
User Type C

`

Put the following code in your theme’s functions.php:

`<?php
/* Add sign-up field to BuddyPress sign-up array*/
function bp_custom_user_signup_field( $usermeta ) {
$usermeta = $_POST;

return $usermeta;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_signup_usermeta’, ‘bp_custom_user_signup_field’ );

/* Add field_name from sign-up to usermeta on activation */
function bp_user_activate_field( $signup ) {

update_usermeta( $signup, ‘signup_type’, $signup );

return $signup;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_core_activate_account’, ‘bp_user_activate_field’ );

function synchro_wp_usermeta($user_id, $password, $meta) {
global $bp, $wpdb;

$type = $meta[signup_type];

update_usermeta( $user_id, ‘signup_type’, $type );

}
add_action( ‘wpmu_activate_user’, ‘synchro_wp_usermeta’, 10, 3);
`

This should create selection of account types on the signup page.
If anyone knows how to update profile-loop.php, so that every account type would have different profile group, please share your opinion.

thanks.

It means the plugin will only work for regular WordPress installs but not for WordPress MU or WordPress Multisite.

just wrote a plugin but for single wordpress only

fwiw – the wordpress backend checks if the same user_nicename AND user_login exist. if it does, it will attach a suffix (this is part of wp-includes/registration.php – wp_insert_user)

So does that imply it’s not strictly a BP issue/ in which case the ticket really needs directing to WP if it’s to be dealt with.

DOB should never be displayed. In fact that’s not even a default BuddyPress registration option. Did you add in some registration fields of your own or did the Thesis theme?

Right now there’s no really easy way to modify the registration process that way. it’s possible if you know PHP (Boone’s done something close to it), but it’s not very easy right now. Or if you don’t code and have some cash, you could pay a developer to add this feature for you.

You might take a look at this function:

I’m having this issue as well. I am using WPMU and I have selected “user accounts may be registered” in the Super Admin > Options > Allow users to register section. Still no go. I’ve tried all of the options that allow users to register but stil nothing. The register link just goes back to the main blog.

Any suggestions?

My answers to the questions:
1. Which version of WP/MU are you running? WP 3.01
2. Did you install WP/MU as a directory or subdomain install? subdomain (http://yourwebsite.com/blog)
3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? root
4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WP/MU? No, it’s a new install. Was previously a single WP and I used the “Enable Multi-Site” plugin.
5. Was WP/MU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting. Yes
6. Which version of BP are you running? 1.2.5.2
7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? No, it’s also a brand new install.
8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones? Yes, Akismet; BuddyPress template pack; Embedded Video; Enable Multi-Site; Exec-PHP; FeedBurner FeedSmith; FeedSnap; Full Text Feed; If You Liked That; In Series; MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer; Sociable; Wp.com Stats; WP-Page Navi; and WP-Project;
9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? I am using the Twenty Ten Theme through the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin that allows you to use any theme with BP.
10. Have you modified the core files in any way? No
11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php? No
12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in? Not running
13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files. Nobody can register. The registration link just goes back to the main blog.
14. Which company provides your hosting? Bluehost
15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else? Linux and Apache

yeah, I definitely agree!!! How come there is no working solution for this BIG issue? I am already boring of removing tens of Chinese spammers and their stupid shoes, bags, other “cool cheap” stuff every day!!! There are also bloggers who wanna real blogs and real webmasters who wanna keep their network clean from those anoying spammers … I please you, come with a working solution and we will pray for you…thanks

Found that removing the following:

‘define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘memoirsite.com’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );’

from wp-config.php corrects the registration issue.
