Create custom profile types

[Patrick]

Hey BuddyBoss!

I just purchased your theme and am anxious to learn about how I can achieve some of my goals.

I won’t bombard you with information, in short: The goal of my website is to connect ameateur basketball players with trainers and coaches.

I’d guess that BuddyBoss does not support multiple profile types, out of the box (i.e. Player Profiles, Trainer Profiles, Coach Profiles) Whereby each profile has a unique set of profile fields.

Before I go digging through the code, I’m wondering if anyone can offer insight into what options are available, or how one might go about extending a single profile type functionality to cover other types of profiles.

Thank You so much!

Patrick

@legitballers TJ will be better placed to answer your question but…

Your timing might be good. See this post around the beta release of Buddypress 2.2 – in particular ‘Member Types’:

@legitballers Welcome to the BuddyBoss community! This would be a WordPress question, but you may want to check out the plugin s2member, they may have what you are looking for and have a free version as well.
