conditional statement based on a returned field value outside of loop

I need to make a conditional statement based on a returned field value OUTSIDE of the profile loop.

If I do it like this:
if (bp_profile_field_data(‘field=gender’)) == “female”{
do this…
}

it returns the value of the field only and not the “do this…” part

Suggestions?

It would be more like this:

if (bp_get_profile_field_data(‘field=thefield’) == ‘string’) :

I think you’ll need to pass the user_id, too.

@DJPaul any idea of how to pass the user id too? I been trying but fail so far…
tried `&user_id=’ . bp_displayed_user_id()` `global $bp;` `bp_is_member()`….. nothing seems to work
