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

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.

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

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years, 1 month ago]

No specific date yet though it is not far away…

[@robertfudge Participant 12 years, 1 month ago]

Great.

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

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 12 years, 1 month ago]

@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.

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.
