Hi Rimon,
Thanks for the quick reply! Yes I think I have spotted some bugs. When I delete a member type and try to add a new one after, the new member type wasn’t saved. (screenshot sent via email).
Also, let’s say I have 2 member types, Customer and Baker.
I activated separate registration and set a member type as default. I also checked that I can also access the registration page with both slugs. However, no matter which registration page I register from, the account’s member type mapped to the registration slug but the user role did not.
ie. register with slug /customer (default) -> member type = customer, user role = customer
register with slug /baker -> member type = baker, user role = customer.
Hope you’re enjoying working in Singapore!
Best regards,
Shijie
One more thing, changing the member type is not reflected in the registration page.
Hello Shijie,
I have just released initial version, will work on those bugs and will release next minor version very soon.
Thanks
I would be great if :
1 – ‘field groups’ just like ‘fields’ could be assigned to member types. So, I would create an entire group for just students and other for just teachers.
2 – profile types could be assigned to existing members (bulk, not one by one)
3 – list of the profiles of each member types could be shown separately. eg; example-com/members/students
Thanks
Hello..
Nice concept but the earlier discussed bugs should be treated.
All the changes does not reflect in any of the locations e.g Users, Member Directory
This extension not support multisite. Pls advise if any tweak can done to do the same
Can I use a Carousel to display these member types? I would pay for this plugin if it did this. I have been looking for something like this for months.
Is it possible to prevent members from deleting their own posts using this plugin?
Hello Lujan,
You can use API of the plugin to do that, but not directly possible. ( As member type is not involved, you want this for all user’s I guess? ) Its actually the question of having an access management system for BuddyPress component which I am working on. For what you can do is,
use this code snippet at your theme’s function.php file or plugins/bp-custom.php file.
function prevent_user_delete_own_activity_post( $can_delete, $activity ){
if( $can_delete === ‘false’ )
return $can_delete;
$logged_in_user = (int) bp_loggedin_user_id();
if( $logged_in_user === (int) $activity->user_id )
return false;
return $can_delete;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_activity_user_can_delete’, ‘prevent_user_delete_own_activity_post’ , 10 , 2 );
this will prevent to delete user’s own post. however, this won’t hide the delete button. to do that you can do some css trick using class name.
if i have custom popup form for registration , how to add type field on it ?

Hi Rimon,
are you still supporting this plugin? I noticed that the member directory tabs do not show up in the member directory listing.
Hello Chris,
Unfortunately I am not able to support the plugin anymore
