Hi,
I’m using BuddyPress and the result that I’d like to reach is modifying a field in the user profile page (http://yourSite/members/userName). So far I’ve found bp_after_profile_content and bp_before_profile_content but what I want is affecting one field inside the profile_fields_content. I’m not using any custom field and I can’t find a solution. Does any of you have any idea? I’m in function.php of a child theme and my function so far is this one:

function get_member_field_test($data){
$data = bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=lname’ );
if ( strlen($data) > 3){
$data = substr($data,0, 3).’…’;
return $data;
}
}add_action(‘bp_before_profile_content’,’get_member_field_test’);

thanks in advance

Please use the code button when posting code.

Try using this filter hook:
apply_filters( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', $field->data->value, $field->type, $field->id );

To adjust the value returned by: bp_the_profile_field_value()

For reference: that hook is found in: buddypress\bp-xprofile\bp-xprofile-template.php

thanks for the answer! but could you be a bit more specific? I’m a beginner in BuddyPress and I’m having hard times understand it properly. I tried to use the filter but if I remove the add_action (apparently) it won’t affect anything and if I use it, it removes half of the content in the profile page.
thanks

Delete your use of the add_action.

Research how to use a filter in WordPress.

Try :
```
function cami_field_value( $value, $type, $field_id ) {

     if ( $field_id == 123 ) {  // change 123 to the id of the field you want to change
         // adjust $value 
     }

     return $value;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'cami_field_value', 1, 3 );
```
