Add checkbox custom profile field data to directory with links

    Hey all,

    Iv searched high and low for an answer to this, and have come close a few times…. i think. Basically i want to include a checkbox profile field into the directory listings [users choose categories on registration], but the same way its displayed on the profile as links to the member search. Displaying them as just text is easy:

    bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=Catagories’ );

    But how would i either use xprofile_filter_link_profile_data to filter the data like it does on the profile, or load the output from bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=Catagories’ ); into an array so i can use a foreach loop to output them as desired. Im by no means an expert php programmer, but i know the basics. Iv tried using preg_split to put the output into an array using commas as the pattern to no avail, but even then surely theres a better way. Using the xprofile_filter_link_profile_data filter somehow id have thought.

    Before i get flamed, iv searched and searched both here and on a number of other WPMU/BP forums/support sites. Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

    Cheers,
    Gogger

    Got up this morning and tried a few other ideas. But none worked :(

    $usercatsraw = bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=Catagories’ );
    $usercats = explode(” ,”, $usercatsraw);
    foreach ($usercats as $value)
    {
    echo $value . “br tag”;
    }

    Returns the checkbox catagories in exactly the same way as bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=Catagories’ );

    .

    I tried this also, modified from another thread. It was old though…

    $field_value = bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=Catagories’ );
    echo xprofile_filter_link_profile_data( $field_value, $field_type = ‘checkbox’ );

    Crashes the entire feed. Anyone got any ideas?

    Ok this is just weird. For the sake of trying to figure out what the hell is going wrong, i tried doing something very similar to this thread:

    https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/providing-additional-info-in-userlist/

    Heres the working [according to the thread] code @DJPaul posted:

    function stwc_website_link() {
    $data = bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=Website’ );
    if ( $data )
    echo “Website: {$data}“;
    }
    add_action( ‘bp_directory_members_item’, ‘stwc_website_link’ );

    and heres my slightly modified version:

    function cat_links() {
    $data = bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=Catagories’ );
    if ( $data )
    echo “Website: {$data}“;
    }
    add_action( ‘bp_directory_members_item’, ‘cat_links’ );

    It /should/ output a link that has the normal category output as its title [eg. Animation, Pottery, Photography] and link to a href thats the same as the title [obviously it would get you to a page not found, but this is just for a test]. BUT it just outputs the categories in exactly the same way as bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=Catagories’ ); or bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=Catagories’ ); – no links, no span tags, no label saying “Website:”. This is rather confusing.
