    Hello,
    I can’t find in the codex infos on how to create a new Extend Profile (xProfile) field type (not a field but a field type; like Text, Dropdown, Checkbox…).

    Anyone could give me some hints about it?

    There’s a few plugins that add extra field types, for example – https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-xprofile-custom-field-types/ I’d take a look at these and see how they do it?

    Thanks for the link 🙂

    By the way, really are there no official documentation about it? Someone have to search all the BuddyPress code (ora a third party plugin code) trying to understand how to do it? 😐

    Hi ShMK,
    I’m in the same boat. I found a link on the BudDev site with a bunch of shortcodes. Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the link @tenaciousblindgirl but in this case more than shortcodes, we should need some specific hooks to attach our functions via add_filter or add_action.

    Possibly a good template plugin would be https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-xprofile-rich-text-field/ it’s got the filters and actions you’d need. It’s not straightforward, you’d need to extend the BP xProfile Field Type class in order to have it as part of the xProfile field type collection by the looks of things. I agree it would be nice to have it documented but we have what we have. Maybe one of you can strip down one of these plugins and write it up for the rest of us?

    The other option is to ask either of the collection plugins to add your type to their collection?
