@stegtflesk,
depends where you want to show these option values : in or outside of a profile.
If in, you create filter function containing at least
function function_name() {
$val = ( 'FIELD_NAME', $user_id ); // custom field name; case sensitive
if($val == 'option_1') : // option name
//do something...
endif;
if($val == 'option_2') :
// do something...
endif;
//if etc
}
add_filter( 'my_custom_filter', 'function_name', 9, 2 ); // , priority, $val
and in the template, you add this filter at the appropriate place, by using
do_action( 'my_custom_filter' );
If ouside of profile, you need a user_id
$user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();
$val = xprofile_get_field_data( 'field_name', $user_id );
if($val == 'option_1')
do something
if($val == 'option_2')
do something
return $val;
add_filter....
In both case, you can use an existing BP template filter or a custom one.
Hope this help.
Thx for the replay, but its not the value of the field i need, but the array of options i have created in the wp backend.
Ex.
I have created a new profile field in the “User->profile fields” page in the wp backend. Calling it eyecolour.
So i select the field to be a “select, dropdown” (still in the wp backend). I enter an array of eyecolours as options and saves the field and set the default colour as green. I am now able to extract the value of the field as you shown above. But i wanto get the full array of all the options of the field pref. as and array. Then i would be able to create the dropdown, dynamically in the frontend, using the options i allready created.
psudocode example (i know its the wrong functions, its just to show the logic):
$selectedOption = get_profile_field(‘eyecolor’);
$possibleOptions = get_profile_field_options(‘eyecolor’); //this function i need!! 😛
foreach ($possibleOptions as $option) {
if ($option == $selectedOption) {
echo ‘<option selected value=”‘.$option.'”>’.$option.'</option>’;
} else {
echo ‘<option value=”‘.$option.'”>’.$option.'</option>’;
}
hope this makes sense 😀
