very simple

remove_filter( ‘bp_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 2);

That removes the autolinking

I have developed a nice plugin (now a pair) which changes profile values rendering depending on the name of the group. I have not yet released the code, as I’m offering it as beerware.

Here is my profile on my beta site:

I made the social details, normally clickable so people can enter myspace, facebook, or personal sites.

I also made a fun mp3 player plugin to allow people to suggest music for their profiles and listen to samples.

This post maybe a little more clear, as it has a full working music player.

#1, the 2 is priority of the filter.

#2, I have been lazy and just made everything inside of the “social details” group active links. In the future I maybe validating them with some regular expressions or substring checking.

#3, check for an @ and at least 1 period in the string and no spaces? There are some very complex regular expressions which can validate e-mail addresses, but regular expressions are slower then substrings.

i’ve found this function –

function xprofile_filter_link_profile_data( $field_value, $field_type, $field_id ) {

if ( $field_type == 'datebox' )

return $field_value;



if ( !strpos( $field_value, ',' ) && ( count( explode( ' ', $field_value ) ) > 5 ) )

return $field_value;



$values = explode( ',', $field_value );



if ( $values ) {

foreach ( $values as $value ) {

$value = trim( $value );



if ( count( explode( ' ', $value ) ) > 5 )

$new_values[] = $value;

else

$new_values[] = '<a href="' . site_url() . '/' . MEMBERS_SLUG . '/?s=' . $value . '">' . $value . '</a>';

}



$values = implode( ', ', $new_values );

}



return $values;

}

add_filter( 'bp_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 2, 3 );

so EVERY field is ‘link’ field.. i think this is not so good ;/

next stape i think should be creation of new field_types, and applying filters to this field_types in this function. but where are this types and how to create new ones i don’t know..

Great! It works!

I also wanted to remove the linking in the profile fields, so I added the following line (given above by Fishbowl81) to bp-custom.php, which is in the “plugins” directory.

remove_filter( 'bp_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 2);

The profile fields still have the links though. Is there something special I need to do aside from putting the line in bp-custom.php?

UPDATE: I believe that bp-custom.php should actually go in “mu-plugins”. Also, I did add the php script tags (<?php and ?>) around my code in this file. Still the links appear.

I believe that bp-custom.php should actually go in “mu-plugins”

No. bp-custom.php goes in /plugins/. See line 9 of bp-core.php.

@Reboot

Okay, thanks to Burt for waking me up enough in IRC to point out my errors, here’s what you need to place in your bp-custom.php file:

<?php

function remove_links(){

remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 2 );

}

add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'remove_links' );

?>

That should work.

I’m going to get some sleep now.

I’d like to remove auto links for profile fields. I retrieve their values and dispaly it on a sidebar, but don’t find any use in linking any word to nothing.

That is really an annoying feauture that should be turned on and off at will.

The above code doesn’t seem to work anymore with the latest version of BP.

Is there a way to turn auto links off?
