    Hi,

    I am developing a site around the BuddyPress Multi Network plugin and I would like the x-profile fields to be shared by all networks. The activity, groups, messages and other features are great to be segmented, but I would like for the x-profile fields to be universal so my users don’t have to re-enter them for each different site.

    Hi Jason,
    Welcome to BuddyDev.

    Please put this code in your bp-custom.php

    

/**
 * Filter profile tables to use main site's tables.
 * 
 * @param $tables
 *
 * @return array
 */
function buddydev_global_profile_tables( $tables ) {
	global $wpdb;

	$prefix = $wpdb->base_prefix;

	// overwrite names
	$tables = array(
		'table_name_data'   => $prefix . 'bp_xprofile_data',
		'table_name_groups' => $prefix . 'bp_xprofile_groups',
		'table_name_fields' => $prefix . 'bp_xprofile_fields',
		'table_name_meta'   => $prefix . 'bp_xprofile_meta',
	);

	return $tables;
}
add_filter( 'bp_xprofile_global_tables', 'buddydev_global_profile_tables');

/**
 * Filter meta table to use the main site's tables
 *
 * @param array $tables
 *
 * @return array
 */
function buddydev_gloabl_profile_meta_tables( $tables ) {
	global $wpdb;

	$prefix = $wpdb->base_prefix;

	$tables = array(
		'xprofile_group' => $prefix . 'bp_xprofile_meta',
		'xprofile_field' => $prefix . 'bp_xprofile_meta',
		'xprofile_data'  => $prefix . 'bp_xprofile_meta',
	);

	return $tables;
}
add_filter( 'bp_xprofile_meta_tables', 'buddydev_gloabl_profile_meta_tables' );

    We are overriding the table names to use it from the main sites.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Brajesh,

    It works well. There was a small typo:

    add_filter( ‘bp_xprofile_global_tables’, ‘buddydev_filter_profile_tables’);

    Should be: add_filter( ‘bp_xprofile_global_tables’, ‘buddydev_global_profile_tables’);

    What about avatar images and cover images. They currently write to the uploads folder of each site independently. Is there any way to write them to the main site only so that they can be used on any site?

    Thanks!

    Hi Jason,
    Thank you.
    I have updated the code with the correct function name. I am sorry about that goof up. I should have tested the code before posting.

    For avatars etc, Please open a new topic, I guess, we will need to tell BuddyPress to treat them as the main sites.
