Cross-posting this from the How-To forum since it relates to an addon, but hopefully someone can help.

Basically, I use BP on my site and I have an add-on called liveTV Bundle which allows me to integrate a user’s Twitch.tv or Own3d.tv stream into their profile and have it display as a thumbnail on a different streaming page.

Right now, the addon adds a new section to the default WordPress user profile page where the user can add their stream ID and delete existing streams they’ve attached to their profile. I don’t want people to have to edit two profiles, and I’d like to see if there’s any way to hook those fields into the BP profile edit page or if maybe I can just copy the display code into the BP profile edit page.

This is the code that the plugin currently uses to hook those fields into the default profile. What hooks would I need to have them appear in the BP extended profile edit page? Or is there a better way to do it?

`//Now hook to create extra profil fields`
`add_action( ‘edit_user_profile’, ‘livetv_show_extra_profile_fields’ ); `
`//When the current on the current profil has capabilties to edit -> display`
`add_action( ‘edit_user_profile_update’, ‘livetv_save_extra_profile_fields’ ); `
`//When the current on the current profil has capabilties to edit -> update`

`add_action( ‘show_user_profile’, ‘livetv_show_extra_profile_fields’ ); `
`//When the current on the current profil has capabilties to show -> display`
`add_action( ‘personal_options_update’, ‘livetv_save_extra_profile_fields’ ); `
`//When the current on the current profil is the current and edit -> update`

`if(!is_admin)`
`{`
`//Frontend plugins compatibility`
`add_action(‘profile_personal_options’, ‘livetv_show_extra_profile_fields’);`
`//When the current on the current profil is the current and show -> display`
`}`

I appreciate any help I can get. Thank you so much!

Hey Guys,
I am using WordPress 3.3.2 and BuddyPress 1.5.5. I have created custom Group’s pages with the Buddypress Group Extension API and am allowing users to post from the front end on one of these pages and am having trouble saving custom field data when I do this. Everything else (title, content, and image saves to data base perfectly.) You can see example here: http://liveitupsocial.com/groups/san-fran-adventure/add-adventure/

I am allowing user’s to essentially post activities that they think the group should participate in that weekend. I am querying these posts on another custom group page and I want these posts to be group specific. To do this I am sending a hidden field with value equal to the group ID when users add an activity to that group. Through displaying POST values I know the group ID is being sent and posted to my form validation, but not being saved as metadata.

I have placed the form validation in the group’s plugins.php, and the form in the display() in my custom Buddypress Group Extension API. Using that technique all fields save perfectly except for my post metadata which I’m sending as a hidden field (Group ID): Before the code is there a better way to do this?

In my Group Extension API my funciton display() holds the form: ( I will summarize and only show the hidden field not to bloat this post with code)

`funtion display(){

// Custom Function gets current GroupID
<input type="hidden" name="group_id" value="”>

}
`

Then I have form validation on the top of my Group’s plugin.php (Again summarized with the only part, the custom field, I’m having trouble with).

`
groups/single/plugins.php
<PHP

if (isset ($_POST)) {
$group_id = $_POST;

// Insert Custom Fields
add_post_meta($post_id, ‘group_id’, $group_id, true);

do_action(‘wp_insert_post’, ‘wp_insert_post’);

PHP>
`

Again,my title, content, image all save perfectly, the hidden field is posting just not saving to the database. Am I missing something? Is there a better way to structure the whole posting from the front end on custom group pages using the Group Extension API? Thanks in advance.

Hey geniuses of the buddypress world!

I’m new (and totally unsure if I am doing this right so I apologize if I am posting this in the wrong area…)

Anyway onto the problem, and to be honest I am having trouble identifying if it is an automatic redirect in buddypress, wordpress or the theme (Salutation).

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to disable the automatic redirect away from the registration page when you are a logged in user. I essentially need users to be able to go in and register other users and eliminate the ability for anyone who goes to the site to register.

I am using buddypress not for social networking on the site but more for internal members of the company to be able to go and download documents, find information, etc. etc. and I need these internal members to be able to go in and register people that work for them….possible? Maybe? Bueller?

I have been looking all over for someone else that has asked the same question but I can’t seem to find one that fits completely so please if there is another topic thread that would point me in the right direction, link away!

I am working with Buddypress 1.5.5, WordPress 3.3.2 & Salutation 1.4.2 and also have the free version of the S2Member plugin installed (120517 I think!).

Hi guys,
I am having a problem! When editing a users profile, I click “save changes” and the page simply reloads and no changes take effect, this also seems to be effected on almost all BuddyPress forms(messaging, etc). I am using Gravity Forms for user registration, so users can still sign up that way. I have also tried on the default BP theme.

---

– Here are some of the questions to what you guys would like to know…
– I am running the Latest version of WordPress and BuddyPress
– WP is installed in the root
– I did just recently upgrade both WordPress(3.X.X to latest) and BuddyPress(1.2.9 to 1.5.5)
WordPress was functioning fine before upgrade, the issue was there before the upgrade, which I hoped was going to fix the problem
– Running BP 1.5.5
– Upgraded from BP 1.2.9
– Other plugins installed are: Advanced Custom Fields, AutoChimp, BackupBuddy, BP Blog Author Profile Links, BP Chat, BP Members Avatar Map, BP User Profile Map, BuddyPress, BuddyPress Album, Front-end Editor, Gravity Forms, Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types, Gravity Forms Directory Add-on, Gravity Forms User Registration Add-on, Lightbox Plus, Members, Remove Dashboard Access for Non-Admins, Simple 301 Redirects, The Events Calendar, The Events Calendar Pro, WordPress Database Backup, WordPress SEO, WP-Users Online
WP Hide Dashboard, WP Maintenance Mode
– I am using a custom theme, though I am getting the same issue on default BP theme.
– I have not modified WP or BP core
– bp-custom.php includes only “define(“BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT”,”profile”);”
– Not running bbPress
– Do not have access to error log
– Another agency is providing hosting for our “joint client” and they dont like to give us access to anything, I have FTP access only.

Let me know if you need anything else!
