Hi All,

Total noob so apologies if this is a daft question. When you click into groups and then view the members, I’d like to show more than the avatar and name. I’ve setup a new custom field called nickname. How can I show that in the loop? I tried:
`
<?php
$Nickname= xprofile_get_field_data( Nickname,bp_get_member_user_id());
echo $Nickname;
?>
`
But to no avail. Any help is very much appreciated!

TIA

Edit // backticks added for code view -hnla

You need to put code into backticks “.

Ooops sorry “ AND “
Both to no avail..

Oddly, this does work for one of my other custom fields though:
`<?php
$account_type= xprofile_get_field_data( ‘Account Type’,bp_get_member_user_id());
if ($account_type== ‘Standard’) {
echo ‘standard’;
} else {
echo ‘premium’;
};
?>`
Most confusing!!

Try ‘Nickname’ instead of just Nickname

Edit: oops, just saw that you tried that already…

[jarvo1980]

Thanks Travel-Junkie. Yeah it’s odd, as it works for account type. I thought maybe it was the way I was echoing out the info. Hmmm…

[Boris]

Have you tried passing in the user_id as a second argument?

[jarvo1980]

I tried “
Is that what you meant? Otherwise not sure as it’s on the main loop page (groups/single/members.php)
Thanks

[Boris]

Yep, but you need to wrap Nickname with ‘, so that’d be ‘Nickname’

[jarvo1980]

Sadly “ is a no go either.

[Boris]

Does that field actually exist?

[jarvo1980]

Yes, I’ve even tried with a couple of others. It’s so frustrating! And yes, it does also have text in the field

[jarvo1980]

For arguments sake, I’ve deleted the Nickname one and tried with another. Here’s my code incase I’m being a complete thicko

The only thing that displays on the custom field front is the account_type of either Standard or Premium.
