@bofw Ah, there you are. Was wondering when I’d find your username on here.

Sarah – are you trying to hide particular fields, or field groups, on the ‘edit profile’ page?

Inside of the while( bp_profile_groups() ) loop for each member, check to see if bp_the_profile_group_name() is one that should be displayed to that particular user. In other words, put the template markup inside of a big conditional:

if ( bp_the_profile_group_name() == 'awesome' && get_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'awesome_user' ) ) {
// Show the profile fields in the 'awesome' group only for those users with the usermeta 'awesome_user'
}


Do that for each user type and each profile field group. Only the right stuff will be displayed; groups not meeting the criteria will be hidden.

Hi @pollyplummer. You have basically got the right idea, but there are a few problems.

First, your check for usermeta is not formatted correctly. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_usermeta for get_usermeta syntax. In any case, get_usermeta gets stuff from the wp_usermeta table, and I used it as an example in my code to give you a sense of the kind of check you’d want to do. But that’ll only work if you’re checking against a piece of data that is stored using update_usermeta. BP xprofile fields are not. If the “114” information is stored in a bp xprofile field, you will probably have to do some magic with xprofile_get_field() to get it to work. The following will check for a field called “Type” and check to see if the current user’s Type value is 114:

$field_id = xprofile_get_field_id_from_name( 'Type' );
$field = xprofile_get_field( $field_id );
$value = $field->data->value;

if ( bp_the_profile_group_name() == 'awesome' && $value == '114' ) {

There’s probably a slicker way to do this, but it works. Again, this is only relevant if you’re storing the salient data in the xprofile tables.

The second problem is that you don’t want to repeat the bp_has_profile etc stuff inside of the if statement. If you want to feed a profile_group_id argument to bp_has_profile, you should do it in the initial loop.

Then make sure that you include the markup inside of the conditional if statement. In edit.php, that means everything, including the

@ehegwer – post your question as a separate thread, if you want users to find and answer it

cross reference is good – answered now!

@janismo I’ve slightly lost track of what you are trying to do and need to reference the other threads, if this is running in a profile loop then I’m not sure there isn’t a simpler approach than this one outlined here (not sure you really need to do xprofile_get_field_id_from_name), but it’s late , I’m tired and not thinking clearly

thnaks @boonebgorges ,
somehow first place where I get mistake is your mentioned `if` before `bp_has_profile`
taking all together I got this code for profile-loop.php :

`

<?php
$field_id = xprofile_get_field_id_from_name( ‘Account Type’ );
$field = xprofile_get_field( $field_id );
$value = $field->data->value;

if ( bp_the_profile_group_name() == ‘Account Type’ && $value == ‘Selection 1’ ) {
(if ( bp_has_profile( ‘profile_group_id=1,4’ ) ) ?>

<div class="bp-widget “>

<tr>

}

`

does this code make any sense for anyone?
Am I correct, that even if I will get this code to work, it still returns only one selection of radio button?

thank you!

@janismo take a care asking everyone and their dog to look at your problem you must allow some time, generally the people that can help are pretty busy themselves.

Last post I saw mention of ‘Can only get one value for radio button’ radio form controls can only be in one state or value, if you were needing to see if a profile should do something based on a number possible radio selections can you not do:

if radio == ” || radio == ” || radio == ” it’s probably a little long winded and better done by doing something like an array compare or some other more elegant approach.

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.

@Janismo: does this work?
