Hi Guys,

I am pretty new to php so perhaps one of you can help me out?

I’m trying to display custom profile fields site-wide.

I have added the following code to functions.php:
`
function get_user_type( $user_id ) {
global $bp;
$user_id = $bp->loggedin_user->user_id;
$isMember = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘Type’, $user_id );
return $isMember;
}
`
and the following to sidebar.php “eventually I want to add it to the bp-groups index.php, but the sidebar makes a nice site-wide test” :
`
global $bp;
$user_id = $bp->loggedin_user->user_id;
echo get_user_type( $user_id )
`

Thus far the sidebar only displays data on the profile page. Is this because I am using xprofile_get_field_data? And what should I do to use it sitewide?

Thanks in advance! GooseNL
