I got this working with:

add_filter( 'bxcft_show_field_value', 'my_show_field', 15, 4);
function my_show_field($value_to_return, $type, $id, $value) {
  if ($value_to_return == '')
        return $value_to_return;   
   if ($type == 'number') {
        $value = str_replace("<p>", "", $value);
        $value = str_replace("</p>", "", $value);
        $field = new BP_XProfile_Field($id);
        if ($field->id == '18' ) {
		  

	 $f_value=number_format($value,2);
			  $new_value = "&euro; $f_value,-";
       

	   } else {
            $new_value = $value;
        }
        return '<p>'.$new_value.'</p>';
    }
    return $value_to_return;
}

Does anybody have an idea how i can use this for multiple fields? strangely something like ‘2,18,19’ isn’t working…

Hi –

I really appreciate your reply… it’s a little above my head but working on it. How would you then populate the buddypress Xprofile fields (which would be the same, say user_meta is occupation I would have a BP Xprofile field “occupation” and I’d want to copy it across.

I’d also want to hide the ability to change that field in the BP members profile, forcing them to use the Membermouse field in order to change their occupation both in the Membermouse Table and their BP profile…

Hope you can help! Many thanks.

To simplify my question, I’ve pasted the code in that Chris wrote. I just don’t know how to call the buddypress xprofile fields?

// Cleanup when done
function sr_old_user_data_cleanup( $user_id, $old_user_data ){
delete_transient( 'sr_old_user_data_' . $user_id );
}
add_action( 'profile_update', 'sr_old_user_data_cleanup', 1000, 2 );

I found another solution that was suggested by someone in a different thread I had opened. Instead of modifying the edit.php file, I simply put the following code inside my functions.php file in my child theme. (Or you could put it in bp-custom.php.)

Please be warned that this solution didn’t work when I tried it on my site running BP 1.9.1. (Even though my desired fields were successfully hidden by this solution, I still received a “required fields” error message after clicking the Save button.)

So, in order for this to work, you need to be running BP 2.0 +.

The below profile field ids 1, 32, and 48 correspond to the three fields I needed to hide from editing.

function simple_one_hide_some_profile_fields( $retval ) {	
	if(  bp_is_profile_edit() ) {		
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '32,48,1';	//field ID's separated by comma
	}	
	
	return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'simple_one_hide_some_profile_fields' );

Try inserting the following into your functions.php or bp-custom.php and see if it works. I modified my above code specifically to hide your profile field id 15.

function commoneasy_hide_some_profile_fields( $retval ) {	
	if(  bp_is_profile_edit() ) {		
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '15';	//multiple field ID's should be separated by comma
	}	
	
	return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'commoneasy_hide_some_profile_fields' );

@danbp, I know how to check for errors, but this didn’t helped me too much :). I solved with the blank page, but no more. Your solution works for hiding some xProfile tabs from viewing, but not from editing them. Am I wrong? Sorry!

This is my tested function (as I said, it hiding only from viewing, not from editing):

function flegmatiq_profiles( $retval ) {

   if ( is_user_logged_in() && !bp_is_profile_edit() ) {
      $myfield = xprofile_get_field_data( 'User Type' );
      if( $myfield == "Faculty" ) {
         $retval['exclude_groups'] = '2';
	 //$retval['exclude_fields'] = '6,18,39';
      }
   }

   return $retval;

}

add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'flegmatiq_profiles' );

The next code works as I need, but I think it is not so elegant, and it not allow to use the group ID, only his order number, as ordered by admin:

function hide_profile_group_tabs_from_editing( $group_names ){

   if ( is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_profile_edit() && xprofile_get_field_data( "User Type") != "Faculty" ) {
      for ($x=0; $x<=sizeof($group_names); $x++) {
         if ( $x != 3 ) echo $group_names[$x]; //3 is the order number (from 0) of the tab that I need to hide in the profile edit page. This is not the group ID.
      }
   } else {
      return $group_names;
   }

}

add_filter('xprofile_filter_profile_group_tabs', 'hide_profile_group_tabs_from_editing');
