[buddypress-dev] Profile Data Missing

[Beau Lebens]

Isn't one of the restrictions in BP one user = one blog? (if not, it  
should be :)

But what you're saying sounds right Jerome. Let's follow it through...

It looks like the profile page (index.php) uses  
the_profile_field_value() to output a value.

That uses the data stored in a global called $field, which I think is  
populated somewhere along the line during a call like this:

$this->group->fields[$i] = new BP_XProfile_Field( $this->group->fields 
[$i]->id, $this->user_id );

$this->user_id at that point appears to have been populated during  
the creation of that object, using a global called $authordata. That  
appears to be set via WPMU (not BP), and only ever uses $post- 
 >post_author (probably in this case via setup_postdata() ?).

It looks like all of this triggered via a single-post query/loop in  
bp-xprofile.php::xprofile_profile_template() which theoretically  
should allocate the $authordata over to the author of any posts on  
that blog...

Which leads me to a question - are there *any* posts on those blogs  
that are not showing their profile properly? I haven't done a lick of  
testing or even run BP to see this problem in action, but following  
this thread it would seem like if there were no posts in a blog yet,  
then the author would never get allocated properly (and thus their  
profile data would not be loadable).

Anyone?
