Faster, better and easier!
I have a multiselectbox where Id like to add OPTGROUP labels to the options availabe, so the dropdown list of
apples
bananas
pears
I would like to give a heading ‘Fruit’ (which on its own is not selectable). Ive been browsing the web for the last hours to find where I can edit this, as buddypress does not give the option to group items.
Can anyone give me a head start on which file(s) needs editing?
Hi, Look for "bp_get_the_profile_field_options" you will see the option how it is generated and add the appropriate code using above filter.
@sbrajesh Thank you for your reply.
I suppose I would need to edit 'bp-xprofile-templatetags.php' cos this is where I found "bp_get_the_profile_field_options"
I am a complete Buddypress / PHP beginner. Could you possibly give me an example code and where I would need to insert this??
Ive been trying to get this to work for so long now, your help is much appreciated!!!!
Hi, well, Yn that case I will recommend something easier. You can change it in the registration/register.php(of the theme ) and members/single/profile/edit.php.
You will see the code as below
<?php if ( 'selectbox' == bp_get_the_profile_field_type() ) : ?>below that change this
<select name="<?php bp_the_profile_field_input_name() ?>" id="<?php bp_the_profile_field_input_name() ?>">
<?php bp_the_profile_field_options() ?>
</select>to
<select name="<?php bp_the_profile_field_input_name() ?>" id="<?php bp_the_profile_field_input_name() ?>">
<?php if( bp_get_the_profile_field_name()=="Test Box"):
//change the name to the field name you have addedd
?>
<optgroup label="Test Box">
<?php endif;?>
<?php bp_the_profile_field_options() ?>
<?php if( bp_get_the_profile_field_name()=="Test Box"):
//change the name to the field name you have addedd
?>
</optgroup>
<?php endif;?>
</select>That will add the optgroup for specific fields but not all the select box
