Adding 1 profile field to members directory

[Jonbie]

I am looking to add a single profile field I have created (Type of account) to the information displayed when on the members directory page (in users individual profile boxes, under there names).

I would also like to place the same field next to the users name on the top of there buddypress pages if possible?

I do not have enough knowledge to implement it myself as what i have researched hasn’t worked for me.

anyone have any experience of this?

Hi Sharmstr,

I actually spent the day trying to get that exact article to work for me but i just couldn’t get it.

maybe you could tell me if this looks right?

<div id=”item-buttons”>

<?php do_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’ ); ?>

</div><!– #item-buttons –>

<?php
<div id=”member_profile”>
<div class=”profile_fields”>Category: <span><?php bp_profile_field_data( ‘field=Type of account’ );?></span></div>
</div>
do_action( ‘bp_profile_header_meta’ );

?>

</div><!– #item-meta –>

Looks like you’re php is a screwed up. You can’t call html within the php tags.

Lets back up. Did you copy the file from the Kleo directory and put it in your child theme?

copy /Kleo/Buddypress/members/single/member-header.php
to /Kleo-child/Buddypress/members/single/member-header.php

on like 53 it tells you to add any additional profile fields there. So add the following on line 56 (you want it above the bp_profile_header_meta action call.

COPY CODE

?>
<div id='member_profile'>
<div class='profile_fields'>Category: <span><?php bp_profile_field_data( 'field=Type of account' );?></span></div>
</div>
<?php

Works perfect for me.

Hey sharmstr,

Still no luck with that, the page i am trying to get that profile field to show up on is audiokulture.com/members ,

im not getting any errors but it still is not showing up?

[sharmstr]

Well that’s the wrong page. You said “I would also like to place the same field next to the users name on the top of there buddypress pages if possible?” and the link I sent you was about adding it to that page, so I was showing you how to do that. You can use the same code in kleo/buddypress/members/members-loop.php. Add it to line 69 (I didnt do this on purpose.)

Im actually looking to add it to both places, and i confuse myself sometimes 😉

i will try that now.

The category title is coming up but not the type of account details, the field id is 5, i drop the ‘?

?>
<div id=’member_profile’>
<div class=’profile_fields’>Category: <span><?php bp_profile_field_data( field_id= 5 );?></span></div>
</div>
<?php

[sharmstr]

Is that a question? I’m confused.

sorry, badly worded.

As the field is not showing i was going to try using the id instead of the name. The id is 5 im just not 100% sure of code for it, is it (field_id= 5);?> or do i include the ‘

[sharmstr]

I know for sure it works with the field name. Something weird is going on over there. For the heck of it, have you tried a different field? That way you’d know if it was a field or code issue. Maybe…

Hi Sharmstr,

I have finally found out what is happing with that code you sent me.

The category is visible when you are viewing your friends in the friends tab but not visible when searching members in the members directory.

any idea on why this is happening?

[sharmstr]

If you read line 67 in members-loop it says you need to use bp_member_profile_data instead of bp_profile_field_data.
