Showing Age in members loop

Hi,

The correct way is the second way but I believe you have no output because you made a mistake

Date if birth instead of Date of birth

The correct code:
xprofile_get_field_data( 'Date of birth', $user_id );

You can read more about this in the next thread.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry I made a spelling mistake in the post, but not in the code I used. I still don’t get any output.

I’ve put the following code in my Child Theme > Members > members-loop.php

From line 57: `

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

<?php
/***
* If you want to show specific profile fields here you can,
* but it’ll add an extra query for each member in the loop
* (only one regardless of the number of fields you show):
*
* bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=the field name’ );
*/
xprofile_get_field_data( ‘Date of birth’, $user_id );

?>
</div>`

I really can’t figure out what I am doing wrong…

Have you assigned a value to $user_id ?

No I haven’t, would I need to?

$user_id need to have the id of the user. If you send a null value, the function can’t display anything.

If you use the function “bp_member_user_id()” instead of $user_id, I think it should work.

I’m afraid I still don’t get any output using the above function…

Sorry it’s not bp_member_user_id() but bp_get_member_user_id().

I write this in my members-loop.php:

echo xprofile_get_field_data('Date of Birth', bp_get_member_user_id());

And all works as expected…

Thanks, I got it working too!

One more thing:

How would I include the label ‘Age’ to this output?

echo 'Age: '. xprofile_get_field_data('Date of Birth', bp_get_member_user_id());

Something like this?

Hi

I really appreciate your support. To show the fields I am now using the BuddyProfileData plugin. Unfortunately it again shows ‘Date of Birth’ instead of ‘Age’ in the loop. For some reason only with this profile field it creates a lot of white space below.

Would you be willing to have a look at my issue?

Is there a way I can send you a link to my site in private?

Again,

Thank you!
