Not out the box. I have most of the code which would allow this to be done on my Mac at home. It’s one of my code projects part way through development 
right… so no easy job then?
Any ideas on how it works with the developer profiles on the BP site then?
thanks for your help.

I use a plugin by Boone Gorges called Custom Profile Filters:
http://dev.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2009/06/21/updated-version-02-of-custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/
Needs some manual configuration in the $social_networking_fields array, but you should be able to do what you need.
Give that a shot.
Thanks a lot R-a-y!
Boones plugin works great.
I have one issue, which after reading your commentary on Boones post, you seem well qualified to answer ….
I wasn’t able to get the website URL inside a text field linking to anything but the members search results. I used the following:
[http://www.mysite.com]
Any ideas?
thanks again for your help.

@member11 – rather than enclosing your website URL in brackets (and making your users do the same) you’d be better off specifying the website URL field in the config file as @r-a-y suggests, so that it’s not linked to the search facility:
Open up the custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress.php file and in the $no_link_fields array (starting on line 14) add in your field, so mine looks like this:
$no_link_fields = array( // Enter the field ID of any field that you want to appear as plain, non-clickable text. Don’t forget to separate with commas.
‘Skype ID ‘ ,
‘Phone’ ,
‘IM’ ,
‘Web Site’
);
– where my web site field is called Web Site.
Also you may want to add in any social networking URLS that your site uses in the $social_networking_fields array that’s below this array. Same principle.
@mlovelock
Thanks for the tip. I’m pretty keen to establish clickable links if possible.
I tested this in the $social_networking_fields = array
'Website URL' =>'www.' ,
It seems to work for me as long as I make the instructions clear in the field description about how to format the url. i.e. with [mydomain.com] and no http:// or www.
My site is still in dev so i have no stats on user understanding of this.
cheers
Paul
