One question, I downloaded the demo data and all the countries are in the profile data.
We will work only in one country, but we have different populations. Do you have any automatic way to put all the populations/cities?
Thanks
Hi SiX Informatics,
There is no real automatic way of putting all cities in a field. However you can add a large number of options more easily by creating the field with PHP code.
As an example, here is a code snippet to add a “Location” field in BuddyPress profiles:
$field_name = 'Location'; if ( function_exists( 'xprofile_get_field_id_from_name' ) && ! xprofile_get_field_id_from_name( $field_name ) ) { $field_id = xprofile_insert_field( array( 'field_group_id' => 1, 'name' => $field_name, 'field_order' => 200, 'is_required' => true, 'type' => 'selectbox', 'can_delete' => 1, ) ); if ( $field_id ) { $options = array( 'New York City', 'Los Angeles', 'Chicago', 'Houston', 'Philadelphia', ); foreach ( $options as $i => $option ) { xprofile_insert_field( array( 'field_group_id' => 1, 'parent_id' => $field_id, 'type' => 'selectbox', 'name' => $option, 'option_order' => $i + 1, ) ); } } }With this example, you only need to change
'Location'with the name of the field you want to add. Then you can easily change the list of$optionswith your own list of cities.If you want to add this code snippet to your website, we advise that you use the Code Snippets plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/). You can also refer to this article of our documentation for more information about Code Snippets:
We hope this can help you with your setup.
