BuddyPress.org

Hello. I am using RDP LinkedIn login to allow LinkedIn login. This works and successfully adds creates the login with the users data. However all the data gets added to their basic profile. I need the info that is added their fields to be added to the extended profile. Eg I want to take first name and last name from the basic profile and add it my full name extended profile field.

The RDP login plugin has filters/hooks which I can use to tap into the signup process. However what I can’t find is the BuddyPress API info that would tell me how to set an extended field via code. I am looking for some kind of function like:

set_extended_field(‘my_field_name’,$value)

Does such a function exist? Where can I read more about this? Thanks.
