For anyone else following this be sure to add the semi-colon after return $thread_template->message->date_sent so the snippet reads:

function absolute_message_sent_date() {
global $thread_template;
return $thread_template->message->date_sent;
}

Just one quick follow-up question. How do I change the date…[Read more]

In the messages/single.php template there is this code:
<span class="activity"><?php bp_the_thread_message_time_since(); ?></span>

This calculates the time since a private message was sent and displays it something like this: “Sent 5 minutes ago”.

Final code is as follows:

<?php echo 'Hi ' . bp_core_get_username( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) . ' – Account Type: ' . xprofile_get_field_data( 'FIELD NAME OR ID', bp_loggedin_user_id() ); ?>

Didn’t need the “field=” for xprofile… Works using either the field name or the id.

Only if I’m viewing my profile page. If I view any other page on the site it doesn’t find the value and just displays: Account:

I am trying to run this in the header.php file of my template…

The field ID is “11”.

Basically I want an output that says something like:
“Hi [username] – Account Type: [value of field 11]”

No problem getting the username, but I just can’t seem to access the value of field 11?

I am trying to show the username instead of the full name next to the avatar. So within the loop <?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?> I tried using <?php echo bp_displayed_user_username(); ?>, but that doesn’t show anything on the page. Where am I going…

If, for example, I made a drop down list that asked for a persons favourite colour and the options were ‘Blue’ or ‘Green’ could I make a template that would give me access to the profile data for the two sets of users?

Thanks

However I also need to make some code changes in the same general area, so if someone can help me locate the right place to be making those changes I would also appreciate it.

Thanks

How do I edit the text above the registration form. The bit that reads: “Registering for this site is easy, just fill in the fields below and we’ll get a new account set up for you in no time.”

However the official BuddyPress documentation page for the class is just a holding page (argh!) – http://codex.buddypress.org/developer/class-refe&hellip;[Read more]

For example if I create a profile field that allows user to select either male or female in their profile I would also like to allow users searching to filter on that field.

Can anyone help or point me in a useful direction?
