Display xprofile data in Activity Stream

Hello,

I’d like to display next to the member name in the activity stream, also the company field I created in the user’s extended profile.

I cannot display the field, I can do it only if in the member page.
I am not sure which function I should use, tried with:
$company= xprofile_get_field_data( ‘field=company’, bp_get_member_user_id() );
$company= xprofile_get_field_data( ‘field=company’ );
$company= bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=company’, bp_get_member_user_id() );
$company= bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=company’ );

I am putting this code inside activity-loop.php before
<?php locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true, false ); ?>

I appreciate if someone could point me to the right direction.
Thanks!

Hi @saxisme,

This function will add the company name under each user avatar, on every activity screen (swa, profile, friends…)
To do so, you have to add a do_action to the template. In your case, add it into (child theme)/buddypress/activity/entry.php, before the closing tag of the div containing the avatar (around line 24)

The snippet goes into theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php
```
function saxisme() {
	$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();
	$company = xprofile_get_field_data('42', $user_id); // field ID or name
		
	echo '<div class="authorinfo">'. $company . '</div>';
	
}

add_action( 'showsaxisme', 'saxisme' );
```
You add this to entry.php
<?php do_action( 'showsaxisme'); ?>

@danbp, thank you very much!

Surely this leads me to the right direction – I am now using this function in other parts of the site.

What I am struggling to to is something slightly different: put the xprofile field (Company) after the user name, in the same user profile link.

Ex: <a original-link-to-member-profile-page>saxisme - company xyz</a> posted a content in the group ABC.

I am starting to play with what @danpdfr is posting here

Thank you in advance!
