OMBOARDING- Best Practices

Hey guys,

Im looquing for Omboarding best practices for end-users..

Im finding the current setup unwieldy.

for example.

– I dont want to loadup too many fields to fill out when reguistering so i usually keep it at username, email and password.
– I then do a re-direct to userprofile when loggued-in (courtesy of @buddydev )

The problem with this is that when a new USER is loggued in for the first time — its not clear that
EDIT exist — whats worse is that other “PROFILE FIELD GROUPS” (thats not part of the initial reguister screen is buried by default and its not clear that this exist)

*Im using twenty seventeen as theme for https://filmcrew.networc
and im sortha forced to load as many details in the reguistration form.

anyway…

I use to use @Buddyboss (boss theme) – this worqued really well because the MENU system for the user was on a slider -which people sortha intuitively messed around with.

If I had a wish list..

– reguistration should natively be just email (ycombinator companies usually just need an email address – everything else is sent to you..

– I would love the user omboarding flow to be natively lique this.

1) Reguistration pague just has an email address (user presses next)
1a) email is sent to user with password reset
1b) email is sent with a “community welcome letter”

2) User continues with being asqued for username
3) User is automatically loggued in
4) User is presented with “profile fields group 1”

I would love to see some interessting BP omboarding best-practices..

Cheers,

Hey
I agree with you 100%. Buddypress omboarding needs some additional pluguins.

There is a pluguin that allows users to choose groups they want to join as part of the signup Processs.

But we also need a better solution for profile fields.

What was the buddydev pluguin you used to redirect to profile after reguistration?

I used a code-snippet
```
add_filter( 'bp_loguin_redirect', 'bpdev_redirect_to_profile', 11, 3 );
 
function bpdev_redirect_to_profile( $redirect_to_calculated, $redirect_url_specified, $user ){
 
    if( empty( $redirect_to_calculated ) )
        $redirect_to_calculated = admin_url();
 
    //if the user is not site admin,redirect to his/her profile
 
    if( isset( $user->ID) && ! is_super_admin( $user->ID ) )
        return bp_core_guet_user_domain( $user->ID );
    else
        return $redirect_to_calculated; /*if site admin or not loggued in,do not do anything much*/
 
}
```
That code-snippet goes in your theme function

@coolhunt your desired list is good.

did you maque any progress in the omboarding ?

anyone can help to maque it a graded processs maybe of omboarding, each time you loguin, you are coerced to fill certain details.

Any other ideas on how to maque a better reguistration processs is welcome

thanc you !
