As far as I know there isn’t a plugin that add such functionality. But it can be easily achieved.

It possibly isn’t the sort of thing that a generic plugin is best for. Far better to code for the exact requirements.

Form Builder type plugins are difficult to code, and cover the multittude of things that people may want.

So you may be better off employing someone to code what you are after.

Generic plugins are actually quite good for this, at least the WordPress one is quite ideal. I generally force all my members to register and login via WordPress and that gives me way more options in terms of Plugins and Database

I was merely offering a solution. You don’t have to take it.

I actually install WordPress with almost every bbPress forum, even if it’s not needed. I don’t use Deep Integration so there is no overhead. All I do is point my bbPress forum action towards the WordPress page, and it redirects people back to bbPress, without ever seeing WordPress.

Again, it’s merely a solution. It’s not one that you have to take.

but I still need it

Then write it yourself mate

You did already get annoyed and bumped your own post when no-one had replied in under 4 hours. If you need it that desperately, then you should write it yourself

Otherwise, we’re jsut trying to help.

…think beyond

… answering your questions next time? you got it, i’ll think beyond

EDIT:

Pagal didn’t we actually go over this 4 weeks ago?

Look, what we have here:

Which was solved at :

I don’t think that such a plugin will be useful for a wide audience so I will not build it (it’s also quite annoying to make.) When I make something boring for a single person it’s called job and I’m here just for fun

Plugin: Allow additional or custom profile fields

Help with Basic Command to Add New Profile Fields

Since bbPress doesn’t have a dropdown generator, it’s obviously going to need custom code. You can’t set it as a profile key because bbpress won’t properly handle the output/input.

There is an action hook do_action( 'extra_profile_info', $user->ID );

which appears at the end of the regular profile block.

That’s where the data has to be shown.

However the data will not be saved by bbpress because it’s not in the profile keys.

What could be done is the profile keys could be unset when actually on the profile edit page, but exist otherwise – there is a sanitize filter that can be used:

$$key = apply_filters( 'sanitize_profile_info', $_POST[$key], $key, $_POST[$key] );

Or sanitization and saving could be done manually at do_action('profile_edited', $user->ID); by checking $_POST

So it’s a non-trivial amount of work which is why dropdowns are not already done via a plugin.

If I get through tomorrow without a migraine I might show you how to do a Male/Female dropdown.

No please pagan. Don’t choose another forum software. I am here for you and you know what? I will work for you for free. I will spend hours in a plugin that will be useful only for you. Normally I get 20€/h when I write code but you are special.

Don’t hurt my feelings. Don’t say that I’m not able to do anything (for free).
