Datepicker field is an html5 field, maybe you are using a browser that don’t support html5 fields.

@siewolf: If you are using my plugin with a version before 1.5.5, I was using an old hook of buddypress “bp_custom_profile_edit_fields”.

Since buddypress 1.7, there is a new hook introduced by buddypress called “bp_custom_profile_edit_fields_pre_visibility”. When you use a custom theme, and you update buddypress to 1.7, there is a chance your theme is not updated with the new hook, so the fields of my plugin cannot appear.

I can’t imagine another reason for this error.

Hi,

If you have 777 permissions on uploads directory and inside uploads profiles directory needs to be with 777, it should work. The problem ocurrs when the plugin try to create the directory of the user.

The images are stored in this directory:

‘wp-content/uploads/profiles/USERID’

Your problem is when I try to create the directory “USERID”.

Is this error happening in edit form profile too?

If you need to convert field values, you can use the filter of my plugin. In the faq, you have an example:

add_filter( 'bxcft_show_field_value', 'my_show_field', 15, 4);
function my_show_field($value_to_return, $type, $id, $value) {
    if ($type == 'birthdate') {
        $value = str_replace("<p>", "", $value);
        $value = str_replace("</p>", "", $value);
        $field = new BP_XProfile_Field($id);
        // Get children.
        $childs = $field->get_children();
        $show_age = false;
        if (isset($childs) && $childs && count($childs) > 0) {
            // Get the name of custom post type.
            if ($childs[0]->name == 'show_age')
                $show_age = true;
        }
        if ($show_age) {
            return '<p>'.floor((time() - strtotime($value))/31556926).'</p>';
        }
        return '<p>'.date_i18n( 'F j' , strtotime($value) ).'</p>';
    }
    return $value_to_return;
}

In your case, you need to check the name of your field maybe, and return what you need to embed media.

First, thanks for reporting this. I download Custom Community theme and I see what you say. In your case, the problem is caused by the missing hook. Custom Community Theme doesn’t have the new hook introduced by BP 1.7.

So, for edit.php, go to custom-community/members/single/profile/edit.php. Just before this code:

<?php if ( bp_current_user_can( 'bp_xprofile_change_field_visibility' ) ) : ?>

Write this:

<?php do_action( 'bp_custom_profile_edit_fields_pre_visibility' ); ?>

The fields should appear. For registration page, do the same thing, before:

<?php do_action( 'bp_custom_profile_edit_fields' ) ?>

Write this:

<?php do_action( 'bp_custom_profile_edit_fields_pre_visibility' ); ?>

Try it and tell me if it solves your problem.

When you install buddypress with xprofile module, you can see only one field “Name”, it’s not possible to delete this field. Maybe you installed a plugin who can delete this field. The last name field doesn’t appear if you don’t create it.

Sorry, but I’m not sure what you are talking about because on profile fields you can only modify the fields you create not the wordpress fields. Maybe you have another plugin to modify those fields but with buddypress or my plugin you cannot.

mmmm, but where is the problem in this? I don’t see where because you are seeing exactly what you need to see. In the first image you are seeing the form choosing datepicker field.

A datepicker field is an html5 field. So it will return what you see in second image:

<input type=”date” name=”xxxx” value=”” />

It’s not an error, it’s working as expected. Maybe you don’t want a datepicker, you want a birthdate or date selector.
