City's field in profile.

[JohnDoe]

i was wondering if this would work, to paste the following code in bp-custom.php


function bp_add_custom_city_list() {

if ( !xprofile_get_field_id_from_name('City') && 'bp-profile-setup' == $_GET['page'] ) {

$city_list_args = array(
'field_group_id' => 1,
'name' => 'City',
'description' => 'Please select your city',
'can_delete' => false,
'field_order' => 1,
'is_required' => false,
'type' => 'selectbox',
'order_by' => 'default'

);

$city_list_id = xprofile_insert_field( $city_list_args );

if ( $city_list_id ) {

$cities = array(
"city",
"city",

foreach ( $cities as $i => $city ) {
xprofile_insert_field( array(
'field_group_id' => 1,
'parent_id' => $city_list_id,
'type' => 'selectbox',
'name' => $city,
'option_order' => $i+1
));
}
}
}

}
add_action('bp_init', 'bp_add_custom_city_list');

I meant in bp-functions.php

Updated Code to :


//Custom City list
function bp_add_custom_city_list() {

if ( !xprofile_get_field_id_from_name($bp_fields['city']) && 'bp-profile-setup' == $_GET['page'] ) {

$city_list_args = array(
'field_group_id' => 1,
'name' => $bp_fields['city'],
'description' => 'Please select your city',
'can_delete' => false,
'field_order' => 6,
'is_required' => true,
'type' => 'selectbox',
'order_by' => 'default'

);

$city_list_id = xprofile_insert_field( $city_list_args );

if ( $city_list_id ) {

$cities = array(
"city",
"city",
);

foreach ( $cities as $i => $city ) {
xprofile_insert_field( array(
'field_group_id' => 1,
'parent_id' => $city_list_id,
'type' => 'selectbox',
'name' => $city,
'option_order' => $i+1
));
}
}
}

}
add_action('bp_init', 'bp_add_custom_city_list');

@adam what do you think about this?

See how we did it for the countries in wp-content/themes/sweetdate/custom_buddypress/bp-functions.php lines: 290 – 518

Instead of that, u think i could integrate an auto completer like this?


<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>
.ui-autocomplete-loading { background: white url('images/ui-anim_basic_16x16.gif') right center no-repeat; }
#city { width: 25em; }
</style>
<script>
$(function() {
function log( message ) {
$( "<div/>" ).text( message ).prependTo( "#log" );
$( "#log" ).attr( "scrollTop", 0 );
}

$( "#city" ).autocomplete({
source: function( request, response ) {
$.ajax({
url: "http://ws.geonames.org/searchJSON",
dataType: "jsonp",
data: {
featureClass: "P",
style: "full",
maxRows: 12,
name_startsWith: request.term
},
success: function( data ) {
response( $.map( data.geonames, function( item ) {
return {
label: item.name + (item.adminName1 ? ", " + item.adminName1 : "") + ", " + item.countryName,
value: item.name
}
}));
}
});
},
minLength: 2,
select: function( event, ui ) {
log( ui.item ?
"Selected: " + ui.item.label :
"Nothing selected, input was " + this.value);
},
open: function() {
$( this ).removeClass( "ui-corner-all" ).addClass( "ui-corner-top" );
},
close: function() {
$( this ).removeClass( "ui-corner-top" ).addClass( "ui-corner-all" );
}
});
});
</script>

<div class="demo">

<div class="ui-widget">
<label for="city">Your city: </label>
<input id="city" />
Powered by geonames.org
</div>

<div class="ui-widget" style="margin-top:2em; font-family:Arial">
Result:
<div id="log" style="height: 200px; width: 300px; overflow: auto;" class="ui-widget-content"></div>
</div>

</div><!-- End demo -->

<div class="demo-description">
<p>The Autocomplete widgets provides suggestions while you type into the field. Here the suggestions are cities, displayed when at least two characters are entered into the field.</p>
<p>In this case, the datasource is the geonames.org webservice. While only the city name itself ends up in the input after selecting an element, more info is displayed in the suggestions to help find the right entry. That data is also available in callbacks, as illustrated by the Result area below the input.</p>
</div><!-- End demo-description -->

Looks like this : http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#remote-jsonp

could you help me custom code this? willing to pay for this.
