Custom links in profile fields instead of /members/?s=

I have a sports networking site, and instead of having a users profile link to all members who have a favorite sports team chosen in their profile, I would like to customize it, so as to display their choice but instead of linking to members/?s=CHOICE – link it to a custom php team page I have created for each team (ex: /sports/football/nygiants.php )

Is this possible? Thanks

Not sure if this will help you, but you might consider trying this trick (see post by Boone Gorges), https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/remove-automatic-links-in-profile/.

Hope this helps.

You might also want to try this plugin, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/, read the third option

“Administrators can specify certain profile fields that link to social networking profiles. If I enter my Twitter handle ‘boonebgorges’ into a field labeled ‘Twitter’, for example, this plugin will bypass the default link to a BuddyPress search on ‘boonebgorges’ and instead link to http://twitter.com/boonebgorges. See custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress-bp-functions.php to configure this setting.”

You might be able to hack it in a way that works for your site.
