Rather than simply bumping and waiting for someone why don’t you try a generally accepted tech forum approach of actually explaining what you are trying to do in a code sense with examples of what you have tried to date that has or hasn’t worked, this way you are more likely to get a response from developers if they can see your working, your approach and suggest ways of achieving what you want to do. Your post simply lacks any detail and begs a whole heap of questions before anyone could begin to help.

I would also suggest you start over as few are likely to look past this many ‘bumps’

[luvs]

why can’t you help me?

[luvs]

guess I’m back to bumping!

Check out the bp_profile_field_data() function (located in bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-templatetags.php):
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-templatetags.php#L551

It takes “user_id” as a parameter.

Since you’re referring to the topic template, you’ll need to use a custom function to grab the topic poster ID since a native one doesn’t exist in BP at the moment. Here’s a post I made awhile back that will help:

Also luvs, be aware that the people who post on these support forums are volunteers who take time out of their day to help the community.

So…. something like:

*update** the code I tried above ^^ does not work.

I also tried:

`function profile_field_topic( $args = ” ) {
global $topic_template;

$defaults = array(

‘field’ => false, // Field name or ID.
‘user_id’ => $topic_template->post->poster_id
);

$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
extract( $r, EXTR_SKIP );

return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_profile_field_data’, xprofile_get_field_data( $field, $user_id ) );

}`

but no go…

Your first example code is closer, but you need to put those parameters in an array:

`bp_profile_field_data( array( ‘field’ => FIELDID, ‘user_id’ => my_topic_poster_id() ) );`

[luvs]

Uhh it sort of worked how I wanted. I want to have an image associated with the profile field, so the field is a link when clicked. But I only want the image to appear if the user has filled it out: so I tried:

` 66, ‘user_id’ => my_topic_poster_id() ) ) ) : ?>
<a href="”>
`

but all it does is display the link, not the image. What am I doing wrong?

[luvs]

Nevermind! Changed it to `bp_get_profile_field_data(` and it worked, thanks!
