Get XProfile Field outside of BuddyPress!

For the life of me, I cannot seem to fetch an xprofile field that I need to put into a custom email inside my custom plugin.

I have scoured these forums all day and tried everything but nothing seems to work.

– Custom plugin.
I want to custom field “Name” that the person is required to fill out when registering for the site.
```
function aa_activated_user_email( $msg, $user){
  global $bp;
  $users_name = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=Name&user_id=' . $user->ID );
  $msg  = "<h1>A User has been activated!</h1>";
  $msg .= "<p>Name: <strong>$users_name</strong><br>";
}
```
This just throws an error:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_get_member_profile_data()

UPDATE:

I got things ALMOST working now. Looks like this code MUST be in a function in order to operate properly for some reason.

Here is the code:
```
$user_id = $user->ID;
write_log('$user_id: '. $user_id); // This output the user ID correctly in my log!
$users_name = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Name', $user_id );
```
This does NOT work. It’s blank. For some reason it will not fetch the user id.

The following code DOES work:
```
 $user_id = $user->ID;
  write_log('$user_id: '. $user_id);
  $users_name = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Name', 3 );
```
Just hard coding the user_id actually gives me a result.
Why is it not taking the $user_id which does output a real value?

Wrap that in a BuddyPress Loop on whatever template your using it on.
