This function for bp-custom.php adds fullname from xprofile field_1 to wp_usermeta.

function synchro_wp_usermeta($user_id, $password, $meta) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$fullname = $meta[field_1];

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $user_id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $user_id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $user_id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $user_id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id ), $user_id ) );

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_wp_usermeta', 10, 3);

It shouldn’t be a big step to make the fullname lowercase, strip the spaces and store it as username.

Make lowercase and strip space looks something like this:

$str = strtolower($str);



$str = str_replace(' ', '', $str);

But does the system even allow changing the username at the wpmu_activate_user stage?

The username is stored in four places in the database:

wp_signups -> user_login

wp_users -> user_login

wp_users -> user_nicename (?!)

wp_users -> user_url (as last part)

Manually changing the username at these points in the database does NOT screw up my system. Login with email address continues to work fine with the same password. The profile page and links function as normal.

That is good news. It means it is possible to simply update the username from this same function.

Now I just have to figure out the PHP and the queries for those four fields. Any pointers apprecriated!

EDIT: Is $user_id a number or the username? That could complicate things…

I assume $user_id is the username. Can I make this a two-stage rocket? First run the synchro_wp_usermeta function and then a separate function to deal with username, synchro_name_username? Put them in a plugin with something like this at the bottom?:

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_wp_usermeta', 10, 3);

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_name_username');

Would that execute the functions in the right order?

So how about this then, following DJPaul’s suggestions:

function synchro_wp_usermeta($user_id, $password, $meta) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$fullname = $meta[field_1];

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $user_id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $user_id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $user_id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $user_id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id ), $user_id ) );

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_wp_usermeta', 10, 3);

Can I simply replace $bp->loggedin_user->id with $user_id?

Trying now…

IT WORKS!!! HALLELUJA!!!

Thanks DJPaul for all the essential clues!

How can you identify the user on wpmu_activate_user? Only by the key from the activation link? How does that work?

Then $bp->loggedin_user->id doesn’t work on activation either, does it?

How is Lance Willet able to use $userid on wpmu_activate_user?

Can I somehow use that to pull up the right meta row from wp_signups and store the values in wp_usermeta with the right user_id?

Or can I use the email address as an identifier?

This should work:

function synchro_wp_usermeta( $user_id, $password, $meta ) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$fullname = $meta[field_1];



echo $fullname;



$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_wp_usermeta', 10, 3);

BTW, I see Lance Willet here uses $userid with wpmu_activate_user, instead of $key.

Does $bp->loggedin_user->id even work on activation? Shouldn’t everything be based on the activation key?

This works!

$array = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT meta FROM $wpdb->signups");



$my_vars = unserialize($array);



$fullname = $my_vars[field_1];



echo $fullname;

I know it’s basically DJPaul’s solution, twenty posts back, but minus the apostrophes.

So now I know how to get the fullname, but still not how to get the fullname of the user that is activating = has the activation key?

Why doesn’t this work then?:

function synchro_wp_usermeta($key) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$array = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT meta FROM $wpdb->signups WHERE activation_key = %s", $key);



$my_vars = unserialize($array);



$fullname = $my_vars[field_1];



$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_wp_usermeta', 10, 1);

With this I get four missing argument errors again. Why?

function synchro_wp_usermeta($key, $user_id, $password, $meta) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$fullname = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT meta FROM $wpdb->signups WHERE activation_key = %s", $key);

echo $fullname;



$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_wp_usermeta', 10, 4);

This version also doesn’t work. No errors, registration goes through as normal, but still no first_name and last_name in wp_usermeta:

function synchro_wp_usermeta($user_id, $password, $meta) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$field_ids = $meta['xprofile_field_ids'];

$field_ids = explode( ',', $field_ids );



// Loop through each bit of profile data and save it to profile.

for ( $i = 0; $i < count($field_ids); $i++ ) {

if ( empty( $field_ids[$i] ) ) continue;



$field_value = $meta["field_{$field_ids[$i]}"];



$field 				 = new BP_XProfile_ProfileData();

$field->user_id      = $user_id;

$field->value        = $field_value;

$field->field_id     = $field_ids[$i];

$field->last_updated = time();



$field->save();

}



$fullname = $field_value['field_1'];

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_wp_usermeta', 10, 3);

Again, any suggestions that can move this along are very much appreciated.

The problem really is how to extract the fullname data from the meta field in wp_signups. Can I do something similar to this:

xprofile_get_field_data( BP_XPROFILE_FULLNAME_FIELD_NAME, $bp->loggedin_user->id );

Is there a wp_signups_get_field_data I can tap into?

Or some type of database query?:

$wpdb->read( $wpdb->signups, array('???' => 1), array('??' => $key) );

I had a good feeling about this attempt, but still nothing in wp_usermeta:

function synchro_wp_usermeta($user_id, $password, $meta) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$field_ids = $meta['xprofile_field_ids'];

$field_ids = explode( ',', $field_ids );



// Loop through each bit of profile data and save it to profile.

for ( $i = 0; $i < count($field_ids); $i++ ) {

if ( empty( $field_ids[$i] ) ) continue;



$field_value = $meta["field_{$field_ids[$i]}"];

}



$fullname = $field_value['field_1'];

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_wp_usermeta', 10, 3);

This version messes up registration:

function synchro_wp_usermeta($user_id, $password, $meta) {

global $bp_user_signup_meta, $bp, $wpdb;



$fields = BP_XProfile_Field::get_signup_fields();



$field_ids = $meta['xprofile_field_ids'];

$field_ids = explode( ',', $field_ids );



// Loop through each bit of profile data and save it to profile.

for ( $i = 0; $i < count($field_ids); $i++ ) {

if ( empty( $field_ids[$i] ) ) continue;



$field_value = $meta["field_{$field_ids[$i]}"];

}



$fullname = $field_value['field_1'];

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_wp_usermeta', 10, 3);

Registration goes through as normal. The user gets one email with the activation link. But the page on the link says ‘Your account has already been activated. You can now log in with the account details that were emailed to you.’ No email arrives.

So the above code hijacks activation without doing anything (probably because $bp_user_signup_meta was added). Still nothing in wp_usermeta either.

My problem is getting the $fullname from $meta. I don’t understand the array stuff. I’m basically just guessing.

If there are any php coders out there that can spot any obvious mistakes or can suggest other things to try, please help me out.

You mean the 3 at the end of that line would fix that? I’ll try that next with a previous version of my code.

Just for the record, this attempt again didn’t work. No errors, but nothing in wp_usermeta either:

function synchro_wp_usermeta() {

global $bp_user_signup_meta, $bp, $wpdb;



$fields = BP_XProfile_Field::get_signup_fields();



if ( $fields ) {

foreach ( $fields as $field ) {



$value = $_POST['field_' . $field->id];



}

}



$fullname = $value['field_1'];

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'wpmu_new_user', 'synchro_wp_usermeta' );

This fixes the missing arguments errors, but still nothing in wp_usermeta. I’ll need to figure out how to serialize (?) $meta and extract $fullname from it:

function synchro_wp_usermeta($user_id, $password, $meta) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$fullname = $meta['field_1'];

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_wp_usermeta', 10, 3);

Thanks for the additional clues DJPaul!

In the latest attempt I was going back to my first approach, trying to catch the input straight from the form, so that has to run on initial user registration, not on activation.

Or is user_register not used in Buddypress at all? Is there a wpmu or bp equivalent I could try? Should I use wpmu_create_user? According to this blog post:

the do_action for wpmu_new_user is directly at the bottom of wpmu_create_user in the wp-includes/wpmu-functions.php the wpmu_create_user gets sent the username password and email and checks if the username or email exists, if not create the new user in the database and assign a user_id to the return, also assigning capabilities and level … this happens on *all* levels of registration and is the perfect hook point to add them into the database

the do_action do_action( ‘wpmu_new_user’, $user_id ); so you get the immediate user_id soon as it’s created which you can use in your table

Apparantly this is like a flowchart of registration events in wpmu (wp-includes/wpmu-default-filters.php):

add_filter ( 'wpmu_validate_user_signup', 'signup_nonce_check' );

add_action ( 'init', 'maybe_add_existing_user_to_blog' );

add_filter ( 'xmlrpc_methods', 'attach_wpmu_xmlrpc' );

add_filter ( 'wp_authenticate_user', 'wordpressmu_authenticate_siteadmin', 10, 2 );

add_action ( 'wpmu_new_user', 'newuser_notify_siteadmin' );

add_action ( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'add_new_user_to_blog', 10, 3 );

add_action ( 'sanitize_user', 'strtolower_usernames', 10, 3 );

Should I focus on these wpmu action hooks instead of regular wp hook? Does bp have a list like this somewhere?

I couldn’t figure out how to serialize that $meta data and extract the fullname from it, so I abandoned the approach hooking into wpmu_activate_user for now. Also when I put in the $user_id and $password arguments I got the error messages about missing arguments. wtf?!

I think this bit of code grabs the input from the registration form:

$fields = BP_XProfile_Field::get_signup_fields();



if ( $fields ) {

foreach ( $fields as $field ) {



$value = $_POST['field_' . $field->id];

fullname is the input from field_1, but I don’t know how to finish the php to get to $fullname = … . The two latest attempts above did not work.

I have to give up for now. Deadline at my day job coming up…

You’ll need to have all three arguments, even if you don’t want to use them all. You can miss out ones AFTER the one you want, but you can’t miss anything out before the one you wish to use.

Are you sure about that? With the three arguments I get two ‘Missing argument’ error messages. With only $meta there are no errors – although it doesn’t do anything either…

EDIT: Tried the code below. Again one ‘Missing argument’ error. Registration goes through as normal, but nothing in wp_usermeta:

function synchro_wp_usermeta($user_id, $meta) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$field_ids = $meta['xprofile_field_ids'];

$field_ids = explode( ',', $field_ids );



// Loop through each bit of profile data and save it to profile.

for ( $i = 0; $i < count($field_ids); $i++ ) {

if ( empty( $field_ids[$i] ) ) continue;



$field_value = $meta["field_{$field_ids[$i]}"];

}



$fullname = $meta['field_1'];

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user',  'synchro_wp_usermeta' );

This latest attempt had no error messages, but also no first_name and last_name were added to wp_usermeta:

function synchro_wp_usermeta($meta) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$fullname = $meta['field_1'];

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user',  'synchro_wp_usermeta' );



?>

I suspect I need some additional code to “unpack” $meta.

In a previous attempt I tried this, based on a function in bp-xprofile-signup.php:

// Extract signup meta fields to fill out profile

$field_ids = $meta['xprofile_field_ids'];

$field_ids = explode( ',', $field_ids );



// Loop through each bit of profile data and save it to profile.

for ( $i = 0; $i < count($field_ids); $i++ ) {

if ( empty( $field_ids[$i] ) ) continue;



$field_value = $meta["field_{$field_ids[$i]}"];



$field  = new BP_XProfile_ProfileData();

$field->user_id      = $user_id;

$field->value        = $field_value;

$field->field_id     = $field_ids[$i];

$field->last_updated = time();

}



$fullname = $field->field_1;

I think it crashed my server…

I’ll need help (un?)serializing that $meta array. I’ll study up on that stuff later.

But first I’ll try if bp_user_fullname() works. After some late lunch…

Thanks Paul!

$meta[‘field_1’] definitely looks like something to try, although I still totally don’t “get” serialized PHP arrays.

I was also wondering if I could just bp_user_fullname() at this point, before activation.

Trying both now…

EDIT:

function synchro_wp_usermeta($user_id, $meta) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$fullname = $meta['field_1'];

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user',  'synchro_wp_usermeta' );



?>

Registration process works fine, but I with this error in the screen on activation:

Warning: Missing argument 2 for synchro_wp_usermeta() in /serverpath/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-custom.php on line 187

I had taken $password out. Thought I didn’t need it. Will try again with it added back in….

EDIT2: Adding $password only gives me a second error:

Warning: Missing argument 2 for synchro_wp_usermeta() in /serverpath/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-custom.php on line 187

Warning: Missing argument 3 for synchro_wp_usermeta() in /serverpath/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-custom.php on line 187

Can I just take $user_id out? Is all the information I need already in that wpmu_activate_user action?

I’ll try that next, after deleting test users. Running out of email addresses…

bp-xprofile-signup.php has a promising looking function:

xprofile_on_activate_user()

When a user activates their account, move the extra field data to the correct tables.

function xprofile_extract_signup_meta( $user_id, $meta ) {

// Extract signup meta fields to fill out profile

$field_ids = $meta['xprofile_field_ids'];

$field_ids = explode( ',', $field_ids );



// Loop through each bit of profile data and save it to profile.

for ( $i = 0; $i < count($field_ids); $i++ ) {

if ( empty( $field_ids[$i] ) ) continue;



$field_value = $meta["field_{$field_ids[$i]}"];



$field 				 = new BP_XProfile_ProfileData();

$field->user_id      = $user_id;

$field->value        = $field_value;

$field->field_id     = $field_ids[$i];

$field->last_updated = time();



$field->save();

}



update_usermeta( $user_id, 'last_activity', time() );

}

Does $field->save(); have something to do with function save()?

function update_usermeta actually updates wp_usermeta. So why is field_1 not stored in wp_usermeta?! Very confused…

… Just the last comment, the add_action works fine this way (last line, moved from the bp-example-admin.php to bp-example.php):

function bp_example_check_installed() {

global $wpdb, $bp;



if ( !is_site_admin() )

return false;



/***

* If you call your admin functionality here, it will only be loaded when the user is in the

* wp-admin area, not on every page load.

*/

require ( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-example/bp-example-admin.php' );



/* Need to check db tables exist, activate hook no-worky in mu-plugins folder. */

if ( get_site_option('bp-example-db-version') < BP_EXAMPLE_DB_VERSION )

I don’t believe we have any issues with sub domains in that respect. We’ve had users sign up to the site and create blogs at the same time, and the blogs and their sub-domains seem to be created and work just fine. We’ve also manually created blogs (not via buddypress but in WPMU) and those also work just fine.

Here are the plugins we have activated:

– WordPress Video Plugin

– Buddypress

– BPDEV Core

— BPDEV Flickr

— BPDEV YouTube

– Featured Member Widget

I had to remove this line of course:

add_action( 'xprofile_updated_profile', 'xprofile_sync_wp_profile' );

Plugin now activated. Now testing to see if it does anything…

Edit: The plugin does not derail registration, but doesn’t do anything useful either. The first_name and last_name do not show up in wp_usermeta.

Why doesn’t it work? Any suggestions very much appreciated.
