How do I refer to a member’s name in their profile?

Hello,

I’m attempting to add information next to a member’s name in their profile and also in the member directory list.

How do I refer to the member’s name (ex. bp_displayed_user_id)?

For instance, referring to a member’s name in a profile: bp_(what goes here?)

Here’s the little bit of code I’m trying to write for context:
```
function user_badge(){
	echo '<span class="adbadge">';
        echo 'AD';
        echo '</span>';
}
add_action ('display_name', 'user_badge');
```
Thank you!

See here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bp_field_has_data-show-message-when-empty-field/

The snippet is checking for empty fileds. This is not what you want. Simply remove ! before $data, so it will check that if $data exist, do something. Exclamation point means “not”.

Use add_filter( 'bp_before_member_header_meta filter', 'your_function_name' ); to add custom things to profile header and
add_filter ( 'bp_directory_members_item', 'your_function_name' ); for members directory.

@danbp for the save…again!

I got this to work, but I wanted to know if there was a way for my message to display next to the user’s name? This places the message underneath everything.

Is there something like ‘bp_after_member_name’?

Open the template file you want to modify and search for an action hook name.
do_action ('something'). In your case, member-header.php whith perhaps bp_before_member_header_meta action.

Usage:
```
function xxx() {
// do something
}
add_action( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'xxx' );
```
