Why do you think the error is in the code you write?

Like I say before, Alterna is a premium theme so I can’t help you. Try to activate default buddypress theme to see if the error is still here. Many themes are not well coded, they have many mistakes and don’t use the latest hooks from buddypress so maybe you need to contact the support of Alterna Theme.

Hi,

You cannot take the datebox field as an example because datebox is a type from buddypress, it has custom code to save its values.

You can check the function to save profile data in bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-screens.php:
xprofile_screen_edit_profile.
Here, buddypress saves the value of fields:

if ( !xprofile_set_field_data( $field_id, bp_displayed_user_id(), $value, $is_required[$field_id] ) ) {
   $errors = true;
} else {
   do_action( 'xprofile_profile_field_data_updated', $field_id, $value );
}

The only way to make your idea work is maybe concat values and saving all values with the same field_id.

The problem is there is no hook you can use when editing profile, so I don’t think you can do it but maybe I’m wrong.

I believe, a few weeks ago, someone ask me if there is a way to do this or something simliar and I answer the best way will be doing with javascript. Make only one field input text with Xprofile. Then write some javascript to hide this field and create the dropdown boxes you need, when the user select options in dropdown boxes, get it with javascript and write it on the hidden input field. Then buddypress will save it right in the database.

Thank you!
You’re right, I solve it in last version 1.5.7.5.

You can force the wordpress admin role using a hook. Buddypress has various hook in signup, I’m pretty sure you can use one of this.

If you define 5 roles like this: “role1”, “role2”, “role3”, “role4” and “role5”. You can map each role with a wordpress role like:
“role1” => “Administrator”
“role2” => “Subscriber”
“role3” => “Editor”
“role4” => “Author”
“role5” => “Contributor”.

Then you can use the Xprofile ACL Plugin.

There is another way also. You can modify your templates and check what role is the user and what group you are going to display.

If you only need the link, you can use website type or a textbox and then use the filter I provide ‘bxcft_show_field_value’ to show a youtube or vimeo player if you need.

It’s because I removed the filter that is adding the links in my plugin. It was causing errors with my plugin. If you want it back you can filter the values returned by my plugin. This is a sample code:

function my_show_field_value($value_to_return, $type, $id, $value) {
    $field = new BP_XProfile_Field($id);
    if ($type == 'birthdate') {
        // Get children.
        $childs = $field->get_children();
        $show_age = false;
        if (isset($childs) && $childs && count($childs) > 0 && is_object($childs[0])) {
            if ($childs[0]->name == 'show_age')
                $show_age = true;
        }
        if ($value != '') {
            if ($show_age) {
                $new_value = floor((time() - strtotime($value))/31556926);
            } else {
                $new_value = date_i18n(get_option('date_format') ,strtotime($value) );
            }
            $new_value = xprofile_filter_link_profile_data($new_value, $type);
            $value_to_return = '<p>'.$new_value.'</p>';
        }
    }

    return $value_to_return;
}
add_filter('bxcft_show_field_value', 'my_show_field_value', 10, 4);

If you add this filter in your functions.php of your theme. The age will be a clickable field too.

For now, you can use css to display the image the way you need. There is no way to fix a max width. I have this in mind for future releases, but I’m a bit busy these weeks…
