After some research on this I found this bug trac : http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1955#comment:2 and tried the solution with no success, can you offer any help to help me use these costume contact fields and have them work with the bbPress user profile?

WP: version 3.4.2
bbPress: Version 2.1.3

[Stephen Edgar]

Oops! It looks like this patch did not make it into the 2.1.3 branch, it is ready to go in 2.2 for when it is released.

[robertFudge]

Any idea when the next release is scheduled? I have not been able to resolve this from the method explained. Thanks.

[Stephen Edgar]

No specific date yet though it is not far away…

[robertFudge]

Great.

I like to also know if the new release will read the WP profile fields added by “cimy user extra fields” plugin?

[John James Jacoby]

@robertfudge – unlikely, though it depends how that plugin adds fields. WordPress only provides one hook for adding extra profile fields, and it’s not robust enough to do very much with.

[robertFudge]

Added manually for development purposes… how can I hook these into bb profile and save them from there? I have been working on this for 2 days with no success. At this point I can not change bbpress, I need a way to do this. Thanks in Advance.


add_action( 'show_user_profile', 'extra_user_profile_fields' );
add_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'extra_user_profile_fields' );

function extra_user_profile_fields( $user ) { ?>

<input type="text" name="address" id="address" value="ID ) ); ?>" class="regular-text" />

<input type="text" name="city" id="city" value="ID ) ); ?>" class="regular-text" />

<input type="text" name="province" id="province" value="ID ) ); ?>" class="regular-text" />

<input type="text" name="postalcode" id="postalcode" value="ID ) ); ?>" class="regular-text" />

< ?php }

add_action( 'personal_options_update', 'save_extra_user_profile_fields' );
add_action( 'edit_user_profile_update', 'save_extra_user_profile_fields' );

function save_extra_user_profile_fields( $user_id ) {

if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_user', $user_id ) ) { return false; }

update_user_meta( $user_id, 'address', $_POST['address'] );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'city', $_POST['city'] );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'province', $_POST['province'] );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'postalcode', $_POST['postalcode'] );
}

I took another approach and used WP User Frontend Plugin and just pointed to that.
