Here’s a piece of code I wrote to sync the

-name (core field)

-last name (custom field)

-first name (custom field)

from BP with WPMU :

-BP name becomes WPMU display name

-BP first name becomes WPMU first name

-BP last name becomes WPMU last name

You have to create those 2 fields in the xprofile admin; then set their ids in the functions

$first_name_field_id=…;

$name_field_id=…;

They have to be set in the BASE group of xprofile (group id #1).

function sync_wp_bp_names() {

global $bp;

if (bp_get_current_profile_group_id()!=1) return false;

require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/registration.php’);

$user = new WP_User($bp->displayed_user->id);

$first_name_field_id=40;

$name_field_id=39;

//DISPLAY NAME == BP NAME

if ( isset( $_POST[‘field_1’] ))

$user->display_name = esc_html( trim( $_POST[‘field_1’] ));

//FIRST NAME

if ( isset( $_POST[‘field_’.$first_name_field_id] ))

$user->first_name = esc_html( trim( $_POST[‘field_’.$first_name_field_id] ));

//LAST NAME

if ( isset( $_POST[‘field_’.$name_field_id] ))

$user->last_name = esc_html( trim( $_POST[‘field_’.$name_field_id] ));

wp_update_user( get_object_vars( $user ) );

}

add_action( ‘xprofile_updated_profile’, ‘sync_wp_bp_names’ );

What do you think of that ?

I also don’t understand the differences between display name and nicename in WPMU…
