I have two main questions:</p> <p>First, I'm intrigued by the call to "apply_filters()". Does this make it possible for future plugins to use "ra_get_wp_profile_info_keys" as a hook? In other words, the plugin would achieve the same result if it just returned the second argument of "ra_get_wp_profile_info_keys": "array('user_email'... etc."</p> <p>Second, how and when does a new column get added to the database for the custom profile fields?</p> <p>Just curious, and learning about plugin development.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-allow-additional-or-custom-profile-fields#post-18605 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 01:46:25 +0000 Detective 18605@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I use it in WP and bbPress :) It's easy to adapt, and as you have both integrated ...</p> <p>Of course you could also print the "about" text entered by the user in their Profile page in the Dashboard. So you only really need a plugin for the gamertags. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-allow-additional-or-custom-profile-fields#post-18603 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 23:05:18 +0000 pilola 18603@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Detective - Thanks I'll take a look. But it doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for since it's a wp plugin. And the possibility of adding gamertags isn't really the only thing I want to get out of this.</p> <p>I mean what I'm really looking for i some way to catch the value of a field and echo it inside some code.</p> <p>And as i mentioned earlier I'd really like to give my users the op to create "About me"-content.</p> <p>Maybe it's easier to do this outside of the profile-section? But I'm unfortunately not a PHP-coder so I ain't good at writing php from scratch. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-allow-additional-or-custom-profile-fields#post-18599 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 20:55:10 +0000 Detective 18599@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Pilola, you could use this plugin: <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gaming-codes/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gaming-codes/</a></p> <p>I use it here: <a href="http://www.ryuuko.cl/bbpress/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ryuuko.cl/bbpress/</a> (see the "nuestros usuarios" links). </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-allow-additional-or-custom-profile-fields#post-18596 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 18:16:56 +0000 pilola 18596@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Midnightsun &#38; antonskey already mentioned similair things. I have a site for gamers (integrated wp and bbp using the bbp as the member section) and I wan't to give them the possibility to add their Xbox Live Gamertag, Wii Friendcode and PSN ID. </p> <p>There must be som easy way to, from the profile-template, check if the Gamertag field has a value and then just ad the name to the gamertag embed code. I was looking in the template-functions file and took a look att bb_profile_data and I think that's kind of similar to what should be used in the theme.</p> <p>Also I would like to give the members the possibility of creating something like a About Text. So instead of a normal field i would need a textarea. Hope someone knows what could be done. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-allow-additional-or-custom-profile-fields#post-8334 Thu, 21 Jun 2007 00:42:24 +0000 antonskey 8334@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>i have a question much like midnightsun's. i would love to use this to simply ask for the user's last.fm username, then when displayed, it would link to their profile. is this possible? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-allow-additional-or-custom-profile-fields#post-7796 Sat, 02 Jun 2007 03:33:44 +0000 Trent 7796@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I will try and contact Macwise, but until then, I put my copy on my server up:</p> <p><a href="http://onvertigo.com/downloads/ra_custom_profile_keys.php.zip" rel="nofollow">http://onvertigo.com/downloads/ra_custom_profile_keys.php.zip</a></p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-allow-additional-or-custom-profile-fields#post-7793 Sat, 02 Jun 2007 03:16:49 +0000 tommyill 7793@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>The link isn't working for me.

The best description is the abolve Proforum entry, but really what it does is add fields to your profile (and registration) that you can use with your site. I have the extra fields for first name, last name, reason registered, and others on my site using this plugin. You can also put if they are required or not with registration!</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-allow-additional-or-custom-profile-fields#post-6283 Sun, 01 Apr 2007 23:56:27 +0000 wmarcy 6283@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>How about a quick description of how to use in a bbPress site only (no WP).

The options currently have to be edited in the plugin code itself, but it also allows you to pick which fields are required at login as well. In an effort to slow spammers, I added a few fields and made all of them except 1 required!

Maybe you should take a look at having the options in the admin to add the options. As well, I placed in my "number of children" and it didn't save in the database or show up in my profile. Not sure what is going on there! contact me if you want to chat.

This plugin allows custom profile fields which a user will see upon registration and subsequently when editing their profile page. The values will also show up on the view profile page. This plugin also allows the addition of the profile fields from the wordpress' profile page. Refer to the instructions in the plugin for simple configuration details.</p> <p>This plugin was developed in a bbpress/wordpress integrated environment. I'm not sure if this works on bbpress installs only. It wouldn't hurt to try, however, and I'm sure it can be modified to work with bbpress w/o a wordpress integration.</p> <p>Please try it out and let me know what you think. </p> <p>Here's the link:<br /> <a href="http://www.babyquestions101.com/downloads/ra_custom_profile_keys.zip">ra_custom_profile_keys.zip</a></p> <p>Thanks! </p> <p>Ron </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-user-specified-fields#post-2697 Sat, 30 Dec 2006 11:13:21 +0000 Mistainu 2697@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>first an initiative would have to be put out. i REALLY think it will benefit bbPress, hope it gets into the bbPress Core files somehow. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-user-specified-fields#post-2688 Sat, 30 Dec 2006 00:22:46 +0000 spencerp 2688@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Ah, ok.. I'll have to try/test that then Josh.. thanks for pointing that out.. ;) :)</p> <p>spencerp </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-user-specified-fields#post-2672 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 07:29:16 +0000 ardentfrost 2672@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I think he means he wants the ability to add new ones or take away some on his own, possibly through a nice interface. It's not a bad idea. </p> <p>For now, though, if you want to change it, make a file in your my-plugins directory and put this in it:</p> <p><code>&lt;?php<br /> function get_profile_info_keys_personal() {<br /> return array(&#39;user_email&#39; =&gt; array(1, __(&#39;Email&#39;)), &#39;user_url&#39; =&gt; array(0, __(&#39;Website&#39;)), &#39;from&#39; =&gt; array(0, __(&#39;Location&#39;)), &#39;occ&#39; =&gt; array(0, __(&#39;Occupation&#39;)), &#39;interest&#39; =&gt; array(0, __(&#39;Interests&#39;)));<br /> }<br /> add_filter(&#39;get_profile_info_keys&#39;, &#39;get_profile_info_keys_personal&#39;);<br /> ?&gt;</code></p> <p>Then you can add or take away whatever you want.</p> <p>However, you will need to know a little more about how other plugins work. For instance if you use my avatar plugin, you would need to add into that file <code>&#39;avatar_loc&#39; =&gt; array(0,__(&#39;Avatar URL&#39;))</code> (into that long line) and comment out part of my plugin.</p> <p>A plugin to do all of that automatically wouldn't be hard, but would need to be done in such a way so that people can write plugins to interface it (so, for instance, I could interface it from my avatar plugin to make sure that the part I need is inserted into the line).</p> <p>I only mention that so that if anyone decides to tackle the plugin before I do, they're sure to account for that ;) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-user-specified-fields#post-2671 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 07:18:26 +0000 spencerp 2671@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Some of that is already implemented into the bbPress forum software, for the messengers.. try this thread..<br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/404?replies=11" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/404?replies=11</a></p> <p>spencerp </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-user-specified-fields#post-2670 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 07:10:33 +0000 Mistainu 2670@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>this really cool feature is available in Vanilla and i really do think bbPress should use it too. rather than everyone creating a specific plugin and/or hack for adding new fields: DOB, website, messengers, quote, interests, etc... why not have it user specified?</p> <p>like say i'm in my profile editing page, i can choose to fill in the existing fields, or add new ones of my choice. say i create a new field: "mobile number", then i fill in the field's data and save it for my profile. nobody else will have this "mobile number" field in his/her profile page except me (unless they add such a one too).</p> <p>in a future version, i suppose some ajax could be employed where as we type in the "field name" there would be a live search suggesting similar (if not matching) existing fields.</p> <p>what do you guys think? </p>
