On the registeration page, it asks the user to enter in Occupation and Interest.

I want to completely remove these fields.

How?

That’s not standard… did you add a plugin to support this? If so, turning off the plugin should do the trick.

[@frooyo Member 15 years, 6 months ago]

No plugin.

It’s a clean RC install.

[@johnhiler Member 15 years, 6 months ago]

Ah I added some extra stuff to my profile using a plugin, so had always assumed Occupation and Interest were part of the plugin!

Doing more research now…

Try this?

@johnhiler

Thanks, I’m looking into the database right now myself.

If you find anything, please let me know. Back to looking myself

Hmm … looks like it’s hardcoded in the bb-include/functions.bb-core.php

/meta_key => (required?, Label, hCard property). Don’t use user_{anything} as the name of your meta_key.

function bb_get_profile_info_keys( $context = null ) {

return apply_filters( ‘get_profile_info_keys’, array(

‘first_name’ => array(0, __(‘First name’)),

‘last_name’ => array(0, __(‘Last name’)),

‘display_name’ => array(1, __(‘Display name as’)),

‘user_email’ => array(1, __(‘Email’), ’email’),

‘user_url’ => array(0, __(‘Website’), ‘url’),

‘from’ => array(0, __(‘Location’)),

‘occ’ => array(0, __(‘Occupation’), ‘role’),

‘interest’ => array(0, __(‘Interests’)),

), $context );

}

Anyone know of a good way to remove Occupation and Interests without having to modify the bb-core.php file (to make future upgrading easier)

In case anyone is curious, I created the following plugin to remove the Occupation and Interests user profile meta data.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: My Profile Fields

Description: My profile fields for my lovely forums

Version 1.0

*/

function my_profile_fields( $fields ) {

unset( $fields ); /* removes the Occupation profile field: */

unset( $fields ); /* removes the Interests profile field: */

return $fields;

}

add_filter( ‘get_profile_info_keys’, ‘my_profile_fields’ );

?>

Ah ok, that looks pretty similar to johnbillion’s plugin. Glad it worked out.
