for a displayed user – stored in `$bp->displayed_user->userdata` (bp automagically pulls in the userdata from bp_core_get_core_userdata during setup_globals)
so for the email address `$bp->displayed_user->userdata->user_email` just create a function around that to echo and hook on an action (ie, `bp_before_member_header_meta` ) used in the member profile template
Keep in mind that spambots are very likely to harvest those emails if you don’t have some privacy filters set in place.
Hi, I am interested in people who are NOT login in (ie people browsing) to be able to send an email to a member from the member profile page. I was looking for a way to put an email form that does not show the members mail in the code, so it can’t be seen by bots or in the source. I considered trying to use the private messaging system in buddypress. Anyone have any ideas?
Essentially, Members pay to be on the site and set up a profile. Regular people (customers) can contact them without knowing the email of the member.
@rich! If you wanna help, than please help to the end …
Not all of us are coders, you know …. 
Unless I would have programmed BP myslef, there is no way to make any sense of what you wrote …
Where are those functions / actions defined?
Can’t you please write the code here, so that also the less fortunate of us can understand?
Thank you in advance!
I’ve tried “
but that doesn’t work
The only other thing I can think of is adding another field to the Profile called “public email”, but then users have to enter their email address twice, and I can imagine that could confuse some people.
Hi there,
function getDisplayedUserEmail() {
global $bp;
global $wpdb;
$id = $bp->displayed_user->id;
$request = “SELECT * FROM $wpdb->users WHERE ID =” . $id . “”;
$result = $wpdb->get_row($request, ARRAY_A);
return $result;
}
Here is a possible solution. Just copy/paste into either function.php or bp-custom.php. I had to this through database query, because I could not find a bp-function for this, or none of them worked for me.
I’m not a PHP coder so If you can simplify the code, or do it better, feel free to modify it.
You have to call this function in ‘profile-loop.php’. You can find that in members/single/profile/ template folder.
You can call it after the endwhile or whereever you want.
People if your not a coder, dont expect stuff for free.
Rich gave you the best solution.
function DisplayedUserEmail() {
global $bp;
echo $bp->displayed_user->userdata->user_email;
}
add_action( ‘bp_before_member_header_meta’, ‘DisplayedUserEmail’ ); // find the appropriate action where to you want to hook the action
or you can still call the function itself
Maybe I am missing something here but seems like what your looking at doing could be easily done with the following command:
bp_displayed_user_email()
