    Hi,

    I’ve added two custom user fields for Hometown and homestate so I can add these locations to a map. However I cannot seem to find a way to export these fields. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Daniel.

    Hi Daniel,

    Are you trying to output your custom fields in a template somewhere?

    If so, you should be able to use the BuddyPress Profile Fields API functions to output the specific data.

    For example, xprofile_get_field_data() might be the function that you are looking for. Let’s say I created a profile field called “Website” and I want to output the data for the “Website” field for the displayed user.

    I could do this:
    $url = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Website', bp_displayed_user_id() );

    If you want to get the data for a specific user, change bp_displayed_user_id() to the user ID in question.

    Hope that helps.
