How Do I Display A Custom Profile Field?

I have a custom profile field only visible and editable to admins, and I want to display it’s value in 2 places.

1) On the profile page of the user (visible to all), as shown in the WPSymposium example (this is what I want to replicate)

2) On the forum under the profile “online” data field, shown in the second half of the image (a mockup)

I also want to be able to style these with CSS, I will most likely want an orange background.

How exactly do I do this?

the image referenced in 1 and 2 is below.

You can do that with this:

bp_member_profile_data( 'field=name' );

Where name is the profile field name.

Sorry for not responding for a little while.

Where do I put this and how do I make sure it doesn’t get removed when I update BuddyPress or BBPress?

Custom code can be added to bp-custom.php
