How to show profile fields as links (in member-loop.php)

Hi!

I’m trying to figure something out. So in my profile single page the profile field is shown as a link that takes you to a handy search view with al the profiles with that same profile field.

Now I want to implement this on my members-loop.php with:
bp_member_profile_data( 'field=the field name' );

Sadly this displays it only as a paragraph and I would really like it to be displayed as links.

Is this even possible?

Hi,

You need to put this in an anchor <a></a> tag, maybe the profile having only text value and link to that should be written by yourself.

Hi!

Where can I find the function that creates the URL link from the giving field?

So what I mean is that in the file profile-loop.php the Field is loaded as a link just by adding <dd><?php bp_the_profile_field_value(); ?></dd> to it.

This outputs the following code in my webpage <dd><p>Change Control</p></dd>

So I’m wondering where this output is being set? If I have that I can hopefully add it to my members-loop.php

Thx!

Ok, got that.

Please check this thread: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/adding-xprofile-fields-to-members-directory-list-items/

Not really the issue. My field type gets printed without problem.

I just would like them to have the same output as the profile-loop.php provides. So the link that redirects you to the Search page that shows all the people with the same field type.

This function bp_the_profile_field_value() should have some code written to build that URL link.

Thx!

I think you can put an anchor tag yourself with the href attribute and then echo this value.

Thanks
