hi @pstidsen,
not sure i understand what you want. But if your goal is to fetch a xprofile data and show it somewhere on your site (aka outside of the profile loop), you can use a function like these:
function pstidsen() {
// we need the user_id first (mandatory outside a loop)
$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();
// now we fetch the field data (separate fied id's by comma)
$my_field = xprofile_get_field_data('4, 41,55', $user_id);
// we built the output
echo '<div class="authorinfo">'. $my_field . '</div>';
}
// the new hook
add_action( 'show_pstidsen', 'pstidsen' );
// finally add this placeholder in the appropriate template
<?php do_action( 'show_pstidsen'); ?>
Hi danbp and thanks.
I have inserted this:
function pstidsen() {
// we need the user_id first (mandatory outside a loop)
$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();
// now we fetch the field data (separate fied id's by comma)
$my_field = xprofile_get_field_data('4, 41,55', $user_id);
// we built the output
echo '<div class="authorinfo">'. $my_field . '</div>';
}
// the new hook
add_action( 'show_pstidsen', 'pstidsen' );
I my functions.php and the last line in my template, but it doesn’t work. I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_get_activity_user_id() in /data/home/nagcolle/public_html/designerspace.dk/ds/wp-content/themes/bp-mag-child/functions.php on line 17
It seems you are on a member profile page, so try using bp_displayed_user_id() instead.
Now the function is runned, but no fields are shown. My code is:
//Prints xProfile
function PrintKontaktinformationer() {
// we need the user_id first (mandatory outside a loop)
$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
// now we fetch the field data (separate field id's by comma)
$my_field = xprofile_get_field_data('10, 9, 1, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15', $user_id);
// we built the output
echo '<div class="authorinfo">TEST'. $my_field . '</div>';
}
// the new hook
add_action( 'show_PrintKontaktinformationer', 'PrintKontaktinformationer' );
Try fetching just one field. If you pass in an id, don’t make it a string.
$my_field = xprofile_get_field_data(10);
or
$my_field = xprofile_get_field_data(10, $user_id);
Because you’re in a sidebar, this may not work, but replace ‘Company’ with a field name and try:
$my_field = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=Company' );
It works just with one field! Perfect!
