Xprofile Fields Plugin Compatability with Sweet date

[frien337]

Hello Everyone,

I see a lot of mention about the following plugin in this forum:

http://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/

However, it doesn’t seem to work very well for me. I have tried using it on several fresh installs but I always get the same problem. The problem seems to be that the template no longer recognises the date of birth field when I use this plugin.
Going to “Sweet Date > BuddyPress > Age Field” i get a small message saying that there is no age field.

Please do let me know how you got this plugin to work? I would like to use it so that the birthdate doesnt show on the profile page, but rather just the age in years.

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi, We did some changes to support the Birtdate field from this plugin. So please replace this files content until next update:
wp-content/themes/sweetdate/custom_buddypress/bp-functions.php with https://archived.seventhqueen.com/files/bp-functions.txt

wp-content/themes/sweetdate/custom_buddypress/kleo-bp-search.php with https://archived.seventhqueen.com/files/kleo-bp-search.txt

Hey Abe – disaster 🙁 🙁 The fix works fine on the profile page and searching, however, it removes the Birthday selector from the registration page… any ideas?

My code doesn’t have anything to do with registration page 🙂

Hi Abe,

I found a new problem with this plugin, unfortunately it doesn’t allow users to edit their profile. The user can access the edit profile page, can save his changes, but then they don’t appear when his profiled is viewed.
Do you have more ideas on what to do? Or even how to get the standard birthday field to show the user’s age instead of the full birthdate (like the members directory does).

Thanks,
Ryan

Hello, I developed this function to show the age instead of the date. Add it to your functions.php file

COPY CODE

add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'kleo_get_field_value', 15, 3);

	function kleo_get_field_value($value, $type, $field_id) {

			$value_to_return = $value;
	
			$field = new BP_XProfile_Field($field_id);
			
			if ($type == 'datebox') {
				$value_to_return = floor((time() - strtotime($field->data->value))/31556926);
			}
			
			return $value_to_return;
	}
