Create new template which can display member profile fields

    bp_displayed_user_fullname();

    bp_get_profile_field_data( ‘field=Location’ );

    I am currently using these functions in members/single/member-header.php and they are working great.

    However, I just created a new php file “members/single/member-overview.php” and when I try to insert these functions in there nothing shows up. What can I be doing wrong?

    The reason for creating member-overview.php is i’d like to reuse its contents in a few places using something like:

    locate_template( array( ‘member-overview.php’), true );

    So overview.php creates some html that you want to reuse in various template pages ?

    You probably better off just creating a function in bp-custom.php.
    Then call that function wherever you like.

    Thanks shanebp but I do need to create members-overview.php.

    How can I insert profile data into this file once i’ve created it?

    bp_get_profile_field_data( ‘field=Location’ ); doesn’t seem to work so I am assuming I need to have a loop somewhere which makes the profile data available to that file?

    Hope someone can give me some pointers on this?

    Are you sure members-overview.php is loading ?
    Do a simple echo in that file to check.

    also try : locate_template( array( ‘members/single/members-overview.php’), true );

    members-overview.php only loads when i put locate_template( array( ‘members/single/members-overview.php’), true ); into member-header.php and then display the member profile page.

    I need to get members-overview.php to work outside the loop. The idea is to be able to display profile fields anywhere and not just display them on the member profile page.

    If you’re trying to load members-overview.php as a separate page, take a look at this plugin:
    https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/allow-php-in-posts-and-pages/

    If not, then use the bp-custom approach I mentioned above – you’ll need to learn it anyway.

    Basically, you need to ask better questions, ie. what, where – exactly, why etc.
    Use http://pastie.org/ and show your code.
