Hello,
I’m using wordpress with buddypress.
What I want is to get the value of a specified profile field of buddypress for each logged user to replace it in a link i have in one of my pages.

to explain more what i have done is for a university. each student has one class code. i have made a field to let them write their class code.

it is like “sc10002” for example.

what i want is to replace this “sc10002” in a link which send them to their class time schedule which is like:

hxxp://university.com/shchedule.jsp?[classid]

how can i do it? i mean how can i order this link to replace class id with what has been set in student profile?

i’d appropriate your help.
thanks.

The function you’re looking for is:
`bp_get_profile_field_data()`

An example use case:

`
$field = bp_get_profile_field_data(
array(
‘field’ => 1, // where 1 is the field_id or it can be the field name
‘user_id’ => bp_displayed_user_id()
)
);

echo ‘Schedule link‘;`

Hello my fellow BP’ers. This is NOT working for me. It returns nothing…as if the field did exist. Any ideas?

You could try this instead:

Code:

global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$user_id = $current_user->ID;
$field = xprofile_get_field_data(1, $user_id); //where 1 is the field_id or use quotes for a field name and the user_id is the currently logged in user
echo ‘<a href="hxxp://somedomain.com/something.jsp?’ . $field . ‘">Your Text</a>’;
