Hi everyone, I apologize in advance if this is a repost but I was unable to find the answer in the forums. I am running BP 1.51 and I have a question about the information displayed in groups/members. By default, the information displayed is the member’s user name and the ‘joined’ data.

Is there a way I can display a user’s data from custom user fields rather than their user name. I was unable to call upon my custom profile fields.

I’ve been poking around in theme/groups/single/members.php

I tried using the following line of code with no success:

bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=First Name’ );

Thanks in advance.

In the file entry.php in the activity folder you can see a comment that explains how to show xprofile fields in the member loop

I checked the entry.php file in the theme/activity folder but I was unable to find an explanation to insert xprofile fields. Any hints?

Hey modemlooper, I tried the line of code: bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=the field name’ );

but it simply puts the line of code as text onto my groups page. is this because the data is in the members loop but not available in the groups loop?

EDIT:

I found a way to do it here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/profile-fields-in-members-list-on-groups-page/

the code used was this:

<?php $location = xprofile_get_field_data('Location', bp_get_group_member_id());
if(!empty($location)) : ?>
