BuddyPress.org

Something is missing certainly, all I have in the registration page are the fields for members,, with no choice for either models or members.

I have 2 field groups, Models and members, I ve added in each of the field groups diferent fields for name, country, city etc, different fields since I don,t want the same informations.

In member types, I have also Models and Members

In the registration page of WordPress, should I find a widget for the registration? Or Something else like that? Because I don’t see anything to add in the widget list. Thanks

@sharmavishal thanks again for the response I was able to find some relevant info on the matter from these sources external to this site

Functions.php vs. Functionality Plugin

Separate theme display and functionality with a build-your-own custom functionality plugin

While not specific to Buddypress it is sufficient help me understand what should go into the decision making process.

SOLUTION (finally)

Thanks @henrywright and @coffeywebdev for pointing me in the right direction. Here is what I ended up with.
1. Enable child theme and copy the BP register.php file to the child theme.
2. In the child theme’s style.css, I entered to remove the xprofile fields from the register.php page:
.editfield {
display: none;
}
3. In the child theme’s functions.php file I have this (again, reassign the xprofile fields ‘field_3’ and ‘field_4’ because of their position in the DOM:

add_action( ‘bp_signup_pre_validate’, ‘assign_username’ );

function assign_username(){
if ( isset( $_POST[‘first_name’] ) ) {
$_POST[‘field_3’] = $_POST[‘first_name’];
$_POST[‘field_4’] = $_POST[‘last_name’];
$_POST[‘signup_username’] = create_username();
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
echo $key . “: “;
echo $value;
echo “<br>”;
}
exit();
}
}

function create_username() {
$i = 0;
$username = $_POST[‘field_3’] . $_POST[‘field_4’];
while (username_exists( $username )) {
$username = $username . ++$a;
}
return $username;
}

I am simply creating a username from first name and last name and then start to append a number when inevitably someone with the same name registers. I need to add more validation on the username to ensure that it is <= 50 characters, but this finally worked for me.

Thanks again to the community for pointing me in the right direction!

this is what I got:

Thanks for the response, I had already used bp-custom.php to build a custom post-form before. I’ll read that thread on child theme js. Thank you for confirming for me that there was no reason for the last dev to alter those core js files.

Started to get this error because I think my host added both when I already had GD.

“add_filter( ‘wp_image_editors’, ‘change_graphic_lib’ ); Â Â Â Â function change_graphic_lib($array) { return array( ‘WP_Image_Editor_GD’, ‘WP_Image_Editor_Imagick’ )};”

And it wouldn’t add the group page.
add_filter( ‘wp_image_editors’, ‘change_graphic_lib’ ); Â Â Â Â function change_graphic_lib($array) { return array( ‘WP_Image_Editor_GD’, ‘WP_Image_Editor_Imagick’ )};
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/bahamalife/public_html/wp-content/themes/colormag/functions.php:127) in /home/bahamalife/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1171

Fixed

Reason
Whenever your host does a php upgrade/install they ask if you want it as the default version (on for everything automatically) or side by side (optional). My 5.6 was put as side by side but that handler has to be set for each cPanel that wants to run 5.6 as a side by side install was elected
so it needed to be enabled and wasn’t.

Sounds like the plugin should show a checklist for all this somewhere. The plugin is working so that means all the requirements are met.

I have

PHP version 5.6 or greater
MySQL version 5.6 or greater
BuddyPress 2.6.0+ with WordPress 4.1.0+
Apache Module mod_rewrite enabled for “pretty permalinks”. (Wenet to settings> permalinks> checked plain> saved)
WP was installed via cpanel’s wordpress installer and BP is working
Using subdomains not subdirectories
Folder name for any subdirectory or subdomain WordPress/BuddyPress installation must be in lowercase.BP is on the main blog.

Tested not using the child theme.

Is this supposed to be a created file and folder?
“AllowOverride should be set to All in folder where .htaccess is, for example”

thanks for all the help. I ended up doing something like this in my functions.php child theme:

function assign_username() {
    if ( isset( $_POST ) ) {
        $_POST['signup_username'] = create_username();
    }
}
add_action( 'bp_signup_pre_validate', 'assign_username' );

function create_username() {
    $i = 0;
    $username = $_POST['field_3'] . $_POST['field_4'];
     while ( username_exists( $username ) ) {
         $username = $username . ++$i;
     }
    return $username;
}

However, now I have some weird behavior that is asking me if I want to leave the page when submitting the form (typical window.onbeforeunload event when entering information: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1119289/how-to-show-the-are-you-sure-you-want-to-navigate-away-from-this-page-when-ch) although I have no idea what is triggering it on my custom register.php (https://pantest.centralus.cloudapp.azure.com/register/).

So I think my code above solves my $_POST issue, but now I have another one. Going to run through some tests to debug it now.

Thanks again for the prompt help. Was hoping people still check out these forums.

Dan,

I spent some time on this and have figured out the loop that will give me the activity entries I need. I’m trying to add the list of activities on the same page I display the Beer custom post type. So show the beer info at the top and the list of related activities below it. I’m doing that on a theme page and would need to call the activity/entry.php for each of the entries. Is there a way to do that or would I need to copy the code from there?

The query will look something like this:

$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'check_in',
	'posts_per_page' => '-1',
	'post_status' => array(
		'publish',
	),
	'meta_key' => 'check_in_details_beer-id',
	'meta_value' => $current_post

);

// run the query
$query_checkins = new WP_query ( $args );

// check the query returns posts
if ( $query_checkins->have_posts() ) :

	while ( $query_checkins->have_posts() ) : $query_checkins->the_post();

		$ci_postid = get_the_ID(); 

		if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' )  . '&secondary_id='. $ci_postid ) ) : 

Thanks for the help and support,
Ben

Thanks it’s a settings in theme editor let me try your steps

Hi Stacy,
I found the solution to this issue on another forum:

Copy and paste the following code into to the functions.php of your child theme:

add_filter( ‘bp_core_avatar_original_max_filesize’, function() {
return 5120000; // 5mb
} );
