Formatting Paragraph

Hi Andrew, could you explain how you want to “get the html output” in a bit more detail? Do you mean programatically on save?

Cheers, Christian

Hi,

look here: https://www.dot-ev.de/apparat_abstrakt/

In the Backend the user write down his info. Paragraphs shown in the editor. In the frontend there are no <p> inside/shown.

Ok, I see. What code are you using to pull the profile data into the theme?

Cheers, Christian

See below:

<?php if ( $Kurzinfo = bp_get_profile_field_data( ‘field=Kurzinfo’ ) ) : ?>
<?php echo bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=Kurzinfo’);?>
<?php endif ?>

thx
andrew

Hmm, yes it does seem like a filtering oversight in this plugin. I’ll look into it further. In the meantime, you could use bp_profile_field_data( array( 'field' => 'Kurzinfo', 'user_id' => 'your-user-id' ) ) instead.

Cheers, Christian

Oh, hang on, it’s simpler than that. You already get $Kurzinfo to test if it has a value. Why not just echo it? It should be properly formatted already.

Cheers, Christian

what was copy paste, i needed if else several times, e.g. no images than show current conventions …

i remove it, now only echo, but still the same?…

Not entirely clear what you mean. I meant code that looks something like:

$Kurzinfo = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Kurzinfo' );
if ( ! empty( $Kurzinfo ) ) echo $Kurzinfo;

Though this assumes that bp_displayed_user_id() is correctly populated.

HI!
Fine. This works. You are my friend.

Glad to hear that it’s fixed and thank you for raising the issue. I need to document this in the plugin because BuddyPress does not offer a way to properly filter the xProfile content fetched by bp_get_member_profile_data(). It was discussed here but the type filter was never implemented.
