Edit// just saw your last post- not sure how that slipped past so you are using xprofile field data and so yes your first example won’t work I think you’re on the right track now and it is easier if in a members loop. There was a post earlier today discussing this. Have a search back about 20 odd posts

Then we would need to know the mechanism you’re using to pass that variable around I guess.

When you say “select account type” what exactly do you mean, is this a snippet of custom code you have written or are you using the custom profile fields to create new profile fields? If new profile fields ( the best way I would have thought ) then you are taking the wrong approach to fetching those fields back.

hi @jarvo1980 ,
could you please tell whether is it possible to use your approach/code to make 3 types of account and each of them would lead to different custom profile fields?
probably, this is exactly what you want to do, maybe you could write full code?

thank you!

P.S. there are several topics on this question, but as I see, those who have done it do not want to share their result.
one of them:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/can-you-run-multiple-profile-loops-in-singleprofile-loop-php/

If someone knows how to, please share. I’m sure, a lot of people would love to use it.

To get you started create three new profile fields for users to complete, probably radio button choices, the users will select one of these at signup? make the selection obligatory.

Now in the members profile loop you will use a simple check to determine which field has been returned or selected by the user and display whatever particular elements you want for that selection.

The code used here is not the type you want, in a profile loop it’s easier as you can run checks using something like:
if(bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=account type’ ) == ‘special’) :
‘ Do stuff based on the type above’;

Yes but the point is that one can’t simply state that they haven’t got sufficient knowledge and use that as a reason that those that do should therefore write the code for them; think about it. We all had to start somewhere and gain that knowledge it wasn’t handed to us.

If some posts don’t appear to give a complete and rounded solution it’s often that you need to follow the thread through and piece together the info contained in it. If there hasn’t been a response back sometimes that means that one wasn’t warranted as the answer was already provided, sometimes we are just all plum too tired?

On a voluntary help forum it sadly is never appropriate to expect anything at all of those that give of their experience for free.

Don’t take this the wrong way i’m just trying to lend a little perspective and to prevent you perhaps saying things that may be interpreted the wrong way

very probably not, so ignore my comments and start to pull that code together and throw it up to the forum if/when you get stuck and we’ll help get it as it’s needed P.S probably best to start a new post though?
