Input profile information into a link

[jward2090]

Hi,

This is a fairly complicated question. I have a profile field that I want users to fill out and then on their profile a button is displayed like this:

COPY CODE

add_action('kleo_bp_after_profile_name', 'my_profile_button');
function my_profile_button()
{
echo '<a href="#" rel="nofollow">Some Text</a>';
}

I need to make a specific profile field show up in the href=”#” spot. I tried doing this but it “broke” my theme:

COPY CODE

add_action('kleo_bp_after_profile_name', 'my_profile_button');
function my_profile_button()
{
echo '<a>">Some Text</a>';
}

Basically I need to change the link to whatever the user inputs in the profile field. Do you know a way to do this? If you want I can reply with the specific profile field I need added into the href=”#” spot, but I need it to be private.

Thanks!

For some reason I can’t edit my post. I used code and it didn’t display right…I had to take out the anchor tags and just replaced theme with “a” and “/a”. Here’s my edited post:

To add code here just wrap it in a “pre” tag.
Inside the href you need to put this php function to get the field value by field name :
bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=the field name’ );

It is the field name…. just like it appears. I don’t understand your question
