bp_members_masonry.php > unable to trim output

[Miriam]

Hello,
I want to give out a profile-field (called “Gesuchstext”) on my homepage. Some users have very long text in this field, so I would like to shorten it on 100 characters on my homepage.
I worked in the bp_members_masonry.php (k-elements > shortcodes > buddypress)

I tried it with the php-functions
echo substr(bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=Gesuchstext’ ),0,100);

and

echo mb_strimwidth(bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=Gesuchstext’ ),0,100, “…”);

But both of them seemed to be ignored. Could you please check my code?

Thanks a lot & greetings from Berlin
Miriam

2 Things. Use bp_get_member_profile_data instead: substr(bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=Gesuchstext’ ),0,100);

Also, instead of editing the php files, just inject it.

COPY CODE

add_action('bp_directory_members_item','add_member_fields');
function add_member_fields() {
	echo '<div class="update">';
	echo 'Aus: ';
	echo bp_member_profile_data('field=Stadt'); 
	echo ' (';
	echo bp_member_profile_data('field=Bundesland');
	echo ') ';
	echo '<br>';
	echo 'Rolle: ';
	echo bp_member_profile_data('field=Rolle');
	echo '</div>';
	echo '<hr>';
	echo '<div class="ellipsis">';
	echo substr(bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=Gesuchstext' ),0,100);
	echo '</div>';
	echo '<!--end member-inner-list-->';	
	
}
