Display Calculated fields on Profile?

Greetings everyone,

Hope all are having an awesome day today. Simple question, How does one show calculated fields on the profile from data entered into the profile?

For example: user enters “current weight”, “weight loss weight” and starting weight. Then I could display, weight lost so far = starting weight – current weight or amount to loose = starting weight – (current weight-weight loss weight) and so forth? Thanks for any help…

Create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\profile\profile-loop.php

Look at bp_the_profile_field_name() and bp_the_profile_field_value() – they display the value.

You’ll need to write a conditional using
bp_get_the_profile_field_name and bp_get_the_profile_field_value() so that you can use the values without displaying them.

For example:
```
if( bp_get_the_profile_field_name() == 'current_weight' )
  $current_weight = bp_get_the_profile_field_value(); 

if( bp_get_the_profile_field_name() == 'starting_weight' )
  $starting_weight = bp_get_the_profile_field_value(); 

$weight_lost = $starting_weight - $current_weight; 

echo '<br/>weight lost so far: ' . $weight_lost;
```

@shanebp Thank you so very much for the examples. I wish I knew more of what I was doing to implement it. Was kind of hoping their could have been some way to calculate this on the profile page through a simple additional field-such as a display only field. I wish I was smart like you and this would be a no brainer and it would be done already….
