Hi @danbp,
I Have this plugin indeed, however what I want to do is automatically populate my signature with existing fields. I don’t believe this plugin achieves that. All it does is adds a ‘signature’ field to the BP x profile field that my member would need to populate themselves.
Any other idea?
Any other idea? Yes !
Use bbP Signature instead. This plugin has a filtrable function where you can easely add custom fields near signature.
Activate the plugin. Create a field called signature and add this snippet to bp-custom.php
function my_bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature( $content = '', $reply_id = 0, $args = array() ) {
// Default arguments
$defaults = array(
'separator' => '<hr />',
'before' => '<div class="bbp-reply-signature">',
'after' => '</div>'
);
$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
extract( $r );
// Verify topic id, get author id, and potential signature
$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id ( $reply_id );
$user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );
if(function_exists('bp_has_groups')) {
$signature = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Signature', $user_id );
// here we add our custom fields
$wowi = '<br>'. xprofile_get_field_data( 'Industry', $user_id );
$wowt = '<br>'. xprofile_get_field_data( 'Type', $user_id );
}
else {
$signature = bbp_get_user_signature ( $user_id );
}
// If signature exists, adjust the content accordingly
if ( !empty( $signature ) )
$content = $content . $separator . $before . $signature . $wowi . $wowt . $after;
return apply_filters( 'my_bbp_reply_content_append_signature', $content, $reply_id, $separator );
}
if ( !is_admin() ) {
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature', 1, 2 );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'my_bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature', 1, 2 );
}
Thank you very much @danbp for your answer.
I have set it up – however I am not seeing the signature in the bp forum
I suspect it could be because of the bp_has_groups? I am actually not using the groups forums but the sitewide bbp forums.
Also, would this work for existing users or only for new users?
Thanks a lot, I cannot wait for this to work!

It works for all users (past & new) as soon as they added a signature to their profile.
Try to replace if(function_exists('bp_has_groups')) by if(function_exists('bbpress') )
Thanks again @danbp.
Unfortunately, I think what I am experiencing is described here: http://www.tourismtribe.com/wp-admin/plugin-install.php?tab=plugin-information&plugin=bbp-signature&TB_iframe=true&width=600&height=550. My signature doesn’t appear at the bottom of my forum post (even if I add a standard one). So I think the plugin isn’t working.
Do you have any other trick up your sleeve?
@fabwintle Hi Fabienne,
i’m pretty sure the plugin is working. So you probably do something wrong somewhere, perhaps with your theme or another plugin.
IMHO, a link formated like the one you indicate in your post is unusual. And a register page with over 45 javascript runing is… very unusual too. So i’m not surprised that you have some issues with a custom function.
Aside, i haven’t seen any description on that page, at least because i’m not logged in ?
Honestly, I encourage you to hire a dev to configure and optimize correctly your install. If you want to open it publicly in a mounth, it’s not tool late. Once you get memebrs, it will became difficult to repair.
Hi Dan,
You are totally right, my job this week is to secure a web dev to help me polish and optimise the site. I have sent a few requests for proposals out already, would you like to receive one or maybe recommend me someone?
