BuddyPress.org

@boonebgorges – Great that you think it can be done with the existing tables (I was considering adding some additional tables keyed on the user profile id). The hook into xprofile at the right place is what I was looking for.

We are going to filter out profile fields where the user hasn’t input a value anyway (and not display them). I take it this is as simple as checking whether the field value is an empty string. Although, as you point out, you would still want these displayed on the edit page.

So, it’s check for NULL and check for standard field (vs. extended field) name as well.
