Static text buddypress profiles (and in search results)

[emilfrolund]

Hi, I’d lie this text to be a static text that users can change. how do I do that?

So that people can search and the static text shows up below their names.

Love the theme, and the help – thanks!

Hi,

With regards to adding a custom field to the profile header please try the following in your child theme’s functions.php:

COPY CODE

// Add Quote to profile head

add_action( 'bp_profile_header_meta', 'display_user_short_bio' );
function display_user_short_bio() {
    $args = array(
        'field'   => 'Short Bio', // Field name or ID.
        );
    $short_bio = bp_get_profile_field_data( $args );
 
    if ($short_bio) {
        echo '' . $short_bio;
    }
     
}

Replace ‘Short Bio’ with the name of the field you have already created and want to display. If you want to add anything before your field is displayed please add your desired text between the ” on the echo line (example below).

COPY CODE

// Add Quote to profile head

add_action( 'bp_profile_header_meta', 'display_user_short_bio' );
function display_user_short_bio() {
    $args = array(
        'field'   => 'Short Bio', // Field name or ID.
        );
    $short_bio = bp_get_profile_field_data( $args );
 
    if ($short_bio) {
        echo 'Display this text before my field' . $short_bio;
    }
     
}

With regards to adding this to the members directory I will have to ask my colleague @Radu to join the conversation, they’re better equipped to answer this question for you.

Thanks,

Kieran.

Hi, this worked very well – but now it shows both of the texts; not just my “short bio”

Hi,

If you want to remove the latest update text too you’ll have to use the KLEO child theme and copy and edit a file.

Copy the below file from KLEO theme folder

/kleo/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php

To the child theme folder

/kleo-child/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php

If you do not already have these folders created in your child theme you will need to do so.

Once you have your folders made and the member-header.php file copied you can remove line 57 from the copy within your child theme, it should look like the following:

<?php bp_activity_latest_update( bp_displayed_user_id() ); ?>

Likewise if you wish to remove the latest update from the members page then please copy the below file into your child theme using the instructions from above

/kleo/buddypress/members/members-loop.php

Once copied to your child theme you can remove lines 72-74.

Kieran.

Hi,

Done, all good now,

I’ve wrapped the about text into this div class if you need to adjust style : .myshortbio

If you need to style only the .myshortbio div class just add the directory before it.

Example for styling the about text only on directory

COPY CODE

.directory .myshortbio {
color:red;
}

Example for styling the about text only on members profile

COPY CODE

.profile .myshortbio {
color:red;
}

The final php code looks like this

COPY CODE

// Add Quote to profile head and also to the members directory ( edited on 26 JUL 2017 @ SQ['Radu'] )
add_action( 'bp_profile_header_meta', 'display_user_short_bio' );
add_action( 'bp_directory_members_item', 'display_user_short_bio' );
function display_user_short_bio() {
    $short_bio = xprofile_get_field_data( 'About', bp_get_member_user_id(), $multi_format = 'comma' );
    if ($short_bio) {
        echo '<div class="myshortbio">' . $short_bio . '</div>';
    }
}

Cheers

Should I add this to the functions.php folder in the KLEO child theme?

By the way – amazing support, this is great.

[Radu]
