   I've just created my first plugin. 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.

   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.

   Please try it out and let me know what you think.

   Here's the link:

   Thanks!

   Let me know if it works for non-WP-integrated bbpress... if so I'll see about using it in a couple of my plugins :)

   Not sure if the options you want are hardcoded into the plugin? 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. I have an IM deal on my site at the bottom right corner:

   This is a good plugin! 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! Seems to have worked so far.....

   How about a quick description of how to use in a bbPress site only (no WP). I look at the source and see lots of calls to wp_ needed stuff.

   Actually, it may reference things in wp, but it really doesn't need it. 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!

   I was wondering how I could display the new fields so that I could use the fields for something like a last.fm feed or a flickr feed.

   Any ideas?

   Hello!
   Trent: how did you solve the plugin not updating the database and data not showing up? Is it supposed to work now? Cause it's not working for me.

    i might be doing something terribly wrong. I put the plugin in the WP plugins folder and activated it, but nothing happens.
    as you can see http://www.patientenepd.nl/wpc/ the registration from wp and bb are linked.
    what am i doing wrong?

    Plugins for bbPress have to go in /your-bbpress-folder/my-plugins. They will not work in any other place. If the my-plugins folder does not yet exist, you have to create it. :)

    thank you! I was under the impression it was a wp plugin.

    Is there a relatively easy "bbpress way" to add a radio button instead of a text field?

    The link isn't working for me. Have you moved the file?

    I will try and contact Macwise, but until then, I put my copy on my server up:

    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?
