Dynamically input BuddyPres user's extended profile data

  • Hi!

    I’m trying to insert users surname from BuddyPress extended profile and nothing shows. Here is my simple function code:

    function my_surname_shortcode(){
$args = array(
    'field'     => 'surname',  // field already exists in profile
    'user_id'   => 1);     // current user?
$val = <strong>bp_profile_field_data</strong>( $args );
return $val;
}
add_shortcode( 'my_surname' , 'my_surname_shortcode' );

    Thank you!

    For anyone else who is trying to achieve the same, this works:

    function cf7_get_xpr_current_user($atts){
    extract(shortcode_atts(array(
		'key' => 'company',
	), $atts));

    $field = $key;
    global $current_user;
	get_currentuserinfo();
	$user_id = $current_user->ID;
	$val = xprofile_get_field_data( $field, $user_id );
	return $val;
}
add_shortcode('CF7_get_xpr_current_user', 'cf7_get_xpr_current_user');

    thank you , but where do you insert this function?

    and the shortcode… in the contact form?

    thank you

    Hi!

    Insert to CF7 dynamic text ext. plugin source file (contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension.php).

    Then in contact form you can add shortcode “CF7_get_xpr_current_user key=’you-profile-custom-field-name'” for dynamic text field.

    Sorry for my english.

    thank you, but it works if this field exists: you-profile-custom-field-name ?
    My field is ‘nom’. Have i to replace ‘nom’ in the function instead of ‘you-profile-custom-field-name” ??

    you-profile-custom-field-name – name field in user profile.

    In my case, i created a field with name ‘surname’ in BuddyPress extended profile fields (codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles). So ‘you-profile-custom-field-name’ in my case is ‘surname’.

    By default ‘key’ => ‘company’, so if you do not specify key you get user company name, if such a field exists in BuddyPress extended profile.

    thank you, i’m going to check this ??
