Add fields to Member Directory

[wattsjmw]

I’m trying to add new custom fields I’ve added to my database into the member directory. When I add the code in this thread:

https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/member-directory-page-about-me-text-does-not-display

into the child functions.php file, it breaks the site. Has there been an updated thread that addresses this?

Thanks for all your great support.

Hi,
Please try again with the code. I changed it since in your initial functions.php file there was a function prepared for you to make customizations and it was interfering with this code. Now it should be fine

Thanks. This code works to add fields that are in the standard theme, but not fields that I’ve added. Is there any way to add a field that I’ve added to the xprofile_fields table?

[SQadmin]

Yes, Just rename those to match your names.
Also you can add more by adding a coma after the last one and writing them just like the existing ones

Hi, thanks so much. I tried adding the names of the fields, but nothing is returned.

Maybe I missed a step in adding custom fields–I just added the directly to the wp_bp_xprofile_fields table in the database.

Do I also need to add them within a function?

[SQadmin]

Profile fields are normally added trom WP admin -> Users -> Profile fields. If you added from database and they appear there then it should be fine.
In order for a field to appear a members has to complete the info for it.
Put a sample of the code added if it still doesn’t work

it isn’t working for me either. This is the code I have:
add_action(‘after_setup_theme’,’ kleo_my_member_data’);
function kleo_my_member_data()
{
global $kleo_config;
//this is the details field, right now it take the “About me” field content
$kleo_config[‘bp_members_details_field’] = ‘About me’;
//this display the fields under the name, eq: 36 / Woman / Divorced / Berlin. Modify with the names of the fields you want to appear there
$kleo_config[‘bp_members_loop_meta’] = array(
‘I am’,
‘Type’,
‘City’
);

}

I also have this code in another section:
function kleo_remove_actions()
{
add_filter(‘kleo_bp_meta_fields’,’my_remove_age’);

/* For example uncomment the line bellow to disable matching on member profile */
//remove_action(‘kleo_bp_before_profile_name’, ‘kleo_bp_compatibility_match’);
}

function my_remove_age($output) {
//remove the Age form array
unset($output[‘age’]);

return $output;
}

Hi, Do you have the sweetdate-child theme activated?
Users must fill that information in their profile.

[mylaiva]

Yes, it’s activated and those fields are filled out.

[SQadmin]

Hi, From the pasted code this are the exact field names that should exist:
‘I am’,
‘Type’,
‘City’,
‘About me’

Give us a link to your site to take a look

Having the same issue, code dont work

[notime]

Is this calling the correct section?

add_action(‘after_setup_theme’,’ kleo_my_member_data’);
function kleo_my_member_data()

Because if I edit the MAIN functions.php the changes work, however if I edit the child theme one, with the full code, it does not work.

[SQadmin]

This is the code that should be added, with you changes on the field names:

COPY CODE

add_action('after_setup_theme',' kleo_my_member_data');
function kleo_my_member_data()
{
	global $kleo_config;
	//this is the details field, right now it take the “About me” field content
	$kleo_config['bp_members_details_field'] = 'About me';
	//this display the fields under the name, eq: 36 / Woman / Divorced / Berlin. Modify with the names of the fields you want to appear there
	$kleo_config['bp_members_loop_meta'] = array(
	'I am',
	'Type',
	'City'
	);
} 

Because it does a caching on those fields you can add this also to sweetdate-child/functions.php and remove it once the new fields appear:

COPY CODE

delete_transient( 'kleo_bp_meta_fields');

Hi,

When editing the similar code in the sweetdate/functions.php it worked, but when adding the code above to sweedate-child/functions.php i does not work. Any idea what´s wrong?

And yes, I changed the fields to match my own. 🙂

If it works in the parent theme then maybe the child theme is not active

Any idea what´s happening?

Strange 🙂
You are doing something wrong for sure. Maybe you are missing a line or something

Make sure you don;t have a same function added to the main theme when you put it in sweetdate-child/functions.php

It is definitely something related to your added code

Hi That indeed is not related. Can’t say what could cause this. Leave it there and remember to put it on a new update back to the file. Sorry …
