adding profile url and xprofile field data to user meta?

Hi,

Is there a way to add the url of a users avatar to user meta? I’m not very good with php at all but so far I have this in member-header.php:
```
            $user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();            
            
            $avatarurl = bp_displayed_user_avatar( 'html=false' );

            $metadata = bp_update_user_meta( $user_id, 'avatar_url', $avatarurl );
```
Also being able to add xprofile fields to user meta would be very useful.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Found the code below on these forums works perfectly.
```
function my_cache_avatar_url() {
	update_user_meta( bp_displayed_user_id(), 'modemloopers_awesome_avatar_url', bp_core_fetch_avatar( 'html=false&item_id=' . bp_displayed_user_id() ) );
}
add_action( 'xprofile_screen_change_avatar', 'my_cache_avatar_url' );
```
I’ve tried to make it work for an xprofile field by doing the code below with no such luck. Any ideas?
```
function my_cache_xprofile_website() {
	update_user_meta( bp_displayed_user_id(), 'modemloopers_awesome_website_url', bp_profile_field_data('field=Website&item_id=' . bp_displayed_user_id() ) );
}
add_action( 'xprofile_updated_profile ', 'my_cache_xprofile_website' );
```

xprofile component use his own tables:
_bp_xprofile_data
_bp_xprofile_fields
_bp_xprofile_groups
_bp_xprofile_meta
See here for detailed structure: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/buddypress-database-diagram/

Somehow related to your question, this topic who explains how to use bp_update_user_meta (update_user_meta belongs to WP)
