BuddyPress.org

I would like to create a section where people can sign in and answer questions and add their image and then have people see their answers.

@cortttt Sure. Use BuddyPress Extended Profile Fields to highlight the best of your community https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/
Make sure that Extended Profiles is checked in wp-admin Settings > BuddyPress > Components

At the top of the sections would be a running total…total years lost to illness

Check out https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/ and then customize the plugin to include the running total years lost to illness or use/rename birthday field

@shanebp good shout!

Don’t initialize $i as a string if you’re going to use it as an integer.

if ( $items = bp_get_profile_field_data( array( 'field' => 'Budget' ) ) ) {
    $i = 0;
    foreach ( $items as $item ) { ?>
        <div id="size-<?php echo ++$i; ?>">
        <?php echo $item; ?>
        </div>
    <?php }
}

Ah I see what you’re trying to do.

$i = '1';
if ( $items = bp_get_profile_field_data( array( 'field' => 'Budget' ) ) ) {
    foreach ( $items as $item ) { ?>
        <div id="<?php echo 'size-' . $i; ?>">
        <?php echo $item; ?>
        </div>
        <?php $i++; ?>
    <?php }
}

A unique ID is easy enough, just use the loop to output a unique value. e.g.

$i = '1';
if ( $items = bp_get_profile_field_data( array( 'field' => 'Budget' ) ) ) {
    foreach ( $items as $item ) { ?>
        <!-- put what you want here -->
        <?php echo 'item-' . $i; ?>
        <?php echo $item; ?>
        <?php $i++; ?>
        <!-- put what you want here -->
    <?php }
}

Is budget a field that you’ve set up under WP Admin > Profile Fields? and is it of type ‘checkbox’? also are you displaying the values on the user’s profile page? if yes to all of these then this should work:

if ( $items = bp_get_profile_field_data( array( 'field' => 'Budget' ) ) ) {
    foreach ( $items as $item ) { ?>
        <!-- put what you want here -->
        <?php echo $item; ?>
        <!-- put what you want here -->
    <?php }
}

Note: I’ve amended the code so you can insert HTML a bit easier

Hi @applegateian – I think the problem might be the snippet you’re using to output the data string.

try doing something like this:

if ( $items = bp_get_member_profile_data( array( 'field' => 'Budget' ) ) ) {
    foreach ( $items as $item ) {
        // put whatever you want here
        echo $item;
        // put what you want here
    }
}

Note: I haven’t tested.

@applegateian
Maybe I am missing something here! Did you add those fields in the dashboard, or was it some custom hack?

@applegateian
If your on the view profile page and you are inspecting with dev tools you should see a tr class with the field_ID followed by td class label and td class data. You should be able to use those to your advantage.

@applegateian
I just created a checkbox called “Sign up for our newsletter” and this is what is return when I inspect the element:

<div class="editfield field_21 field_sign-up-for-our-newsletter">

				
				
				
				
				
				
					<div class="checkbox">
						<span class="label">Sign up for our newsletter </span>

						<label><input checked="checked" type="checkbox" name="field_21[]" id="field_22_0" value="Yes"> Yes</label>					</div>

				
				
				
									<p class="field-visibility-settings-toggle" id="field-visibility-settings-toggle-21">
						This field can be seen by: <span class="current-visibility-level">Anyone</span> <a href="#" class="visibility-toggle-link">Change</a>
					</p>

					<div class="field-visibility-settings" id="field-visibility-settings-21" style="display: none;">
						<fieldset>
							<legend>Who can see this field?</legend>

							<ul class="radio"><li><label for="see-field_public"><input type="radio" id="see-field_public" name="field_21_visibility" value="public" checked="checked"> Anyone</label></li><li><label for="see-field_loggedin"><input type="radio" id="see-field_loggedin" name="field_21_visibility" value="loggedin"> Logged In Users</label></li><li><label for="see-field_adminsonly"><input type="radio" id="see-field_adminsonly" name="field_21_visibility" value="adminsonly"> Admins Only</label></li><li><label for="see-field_friends"><input type="radio" id="see-field_friends" name="field_21_visibility" value="friends"> My Friends</label></li></ul>
						</fieldset>
						<a class="field-visibility-settings-close" href="#">Close</a>
					</div>
				
				
				<p class="description"></p>
			</div>

I could see how this could be targeted. Are you inspecting on the edit profile page that has the checkbox’s?

@applegateian
Have you tried using firefox in conjunction with firebug to target those elements? You could also use google chromes or IE’s dev tools.
