Including SimplePress Profile fields on WordPress profile page and Syncronizing across multisite network

Hi all,

We have the forum installed on it’s own site within a multisite we find this greatly reduces conflicts and helps performance. The theme is duplicated across both sites so the user knows no difference.

Topic title says it all really.

As simplepress overwrites the management of the site avatar and I have set this to overwrite the network avatar this works fine.

Is there a way to have all the social elements duplicated in the wordpress profile area? And can I then use your custom profile fields to add a couple of extra fields that will also appear in the profile area? and can I limit what between users see eg. keep a phone number private. 

Then can I make it so these fields appear across the whole network profile pages?

A few questions but hope you can help.

sorry, no current way for our profile fields to appear on the wp profile page…  most users prefer to keep their users out of the wp admin…

Thanks for the reply however is this something that could be custom coded? Are there any hooks to the profile fields or would you have to call it from the simplepress tables?

I have not actually looked but yes – I am 99% sure there are hooks to the WordPress profile page. So it could be custom coded if you wanted to try that.

Yes, there is a hook… plus we have an api function call that will return all our profile information… so you would just use the wp hook and display the information as you like…
