    Could anyone help me with a bit of php for the member’s loop. I would like to show the first few lines of what a user has written in their ‘About Me’ xprofile field in the Member’s Directory along with ‘…’ to show there is more to read.

    I know how to display xprofile field info in the Directory listing but not how to display just a little part of it.

    Thanks a lot.

    The best approach would be to filter the data before you display it to screen. The general idea would be something like this

    
function filter_about_me_info( $value, $field_id, $user_id ) {
    if (  bp_is_directory() ) {
        $value = wordwrap( $value, 16 );
        $value = explode( "\n", $value );
        $value = $value[0] . '...';
    }
    $return $value;
}
add_filter( 'xprofile_get_field_data', 'filter_about_me_info', 10, 3 );

    Note: I haven’t tested it.

    Actually apologies – not convinced this will achieve what you want it to

    $value = wordwrap( $value, 16 );
 $value = explode( "\n", $value );
 $value = $value[0] . '...';
