I have a “Referred By” custom field set up within BuddyPress and I want to do something like this:

http://www.mysite.com/register?ref=facebook

“

And then just echo $ref as the value of the “Referred By”. How would I go about this?

[Update]

I tried this but it’s putting the text field name as the value of the text box and above the text box as well.

`<input type="text" name="” id=”” value=”” />`

@xberserker — I’m looking for exactly the same thing.

Were you able to get it to not put the text above the field box?

Also, when I’m replacing `value=””` with `value=””` (using the correct field number) I’m blowing up registration.

Did that happen to you?

I think I have this working, but came across a different issue preventing me from fully testing.

Here’s the code I was working with…

`

<label for="”>

<input type="text" name="” id=”” >`
