Works for me. Make sure you are writing the field name exactly as it is. name does not equal Name.

some hope here ?

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/adding-custom-profile-fields-to-member-profile/

tried on /groups/single/members.php 1.6.3

none of the solutions are working !

The example may have broke and needs a refresh, try this:

echo bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=Name’, bp_get_member_user_id() );

Here it is see http://pastebin.com/qLe9jXi6

Mods would you be so kind as to put the pastebin link in the first post and delete the others.

Apologies for the mess!

Hi @ebraxton30,

maybe try with this:

<code>$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$current_user_id = $current_user->ID;

bp_profile_field_data( array(‘user_id’=>get_the_author_meta(‘ID’),’field’=>’cancer type’));</code>

ahh you need php tags. when you cut and paste you may need to retype single quotes.

`<?php bp_member_profile_data( 'field=cancer type' ); ?>`

When outside the members loop you have to pass it a user id.

bp_get_profile_field_data( array( ‘field’ => ‘cancer type’, ‘user_id’ => bp_displayed_user_id() ) );

hi @ronaldvogel,

this plugin will add a birthdate to BP profiles

To make a widget for your need, read the Codex and also here:

hi @jakewho,

if your goal is to collect serialized informations about your members, you have to create your own data mining solution i guess. 😉

profile informations are stored in 4 different tables: wp _bp_xprofile_data, fields, group, meta

So if you are confortable with msql queries and php, you can recreate your own custom BP Profile Component.

If no one answered to you, it’s probably because nobody want to reinvent the whell.

In the WordPress Admin under the Users you will see a link called prifile fields. This is where you create fields.

I modified the function because $var strip the whole profile information.

Insert the $var in the if and it’s ok !<code>
if(  strtolower( $field_name ) == ‘youtube’ ) {
$val = strip_tags( $val );
return wp_oembed_get( $val, array(‘width’=>400) );
return $val;</code>

updated my blog post to include other services besides youtube

You’re right @modemlooper !Sorry…
Though i tried several times before posting, but now it works. Huh ! 🙄

Not true, http://dev.taptappress.com/admin/profile/

I have it in a second group called my info.

Thank you @modemlooper,
the code is ok, but it will work only on the first field group.
It would be better to have this “information” on a custom field group.
