Hi,

You can change in wordpress settings – General – Date Format.

Or you can create a filter in your functions.php like this:

function my_show_field_value($value_to_return, $type, $id, $value) {
    $field = new BP_XProfile_Field($id);
    if ($type == 'birthdate') {
        // Get children.
        $childs = $field->get_children();
        $show_age = false;
        if (isset($childs) && $childs && count($childs) > 0 && is_object($childs[0])) {
            if ($childs[0]->name == 'show_age')
                $show_age = true;
        }
        if ($value != '') {
            if ($show_age) {
                $value_to_return = '<p>'.floor((time() - strtotime($value))/31556926).'</p>';
            } else {
                $value_to_return = '<p>'.date_i18n('Here goes your date format' ,strtotime($value) ).'</p>';
            }
        }
    }

    return $value_to_return;
}
add_filter('bxcft_show_field_value', 'my_show_field_value', 10, 4);

Replace the sentence “Here goes your date format” with your date format.

I believe you can use filters to modify the avatar displayed. With these 2 filters you could use the xprofile field instead of avatar.

function display_avatar($avatar, $params) {
    $avatar = bp_get_member_profile_data(array('field' => 'IMAGEFIELD', 'user_id' => $params['item_id']));
    return $avatar;
}
add_filter('bp_core_fetch_avatar_url', 'display_avatar', 15, 2);

function display_avatar_html($avatar_html, $params) {
    $upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
    $new_avatar = $upload_dir['baseurl'] . bp_get_member_profile_data(array('field' => 'IMAGEFIELD', 'user_id' => $params['item_id']));
    $parts = explode('"', $avatar_html);
    for ($i=0; $i<count($parts);$i++) {
        if (strpos($parts[$i], 'src=')) {
            break;
        }
    }
    $i++;
    $prev_avatar = $parts[$i];
    return str_replace($prev_avatar, $new_avatar, $avatar_html);
}
add_filter('bp_core_fetch_avatar', 'display_avatar_html', 15, 2);

Replace IMAGEFIELD with the name of your image field.

I’m not sure I understand you.

So, one member will upload this banner and you want to show this banner url to all profiles?

You can hide the field manually in your template, so the user can’t modify because the field will not be displayed in the form.

I believe there is a filter in buddypress that is filtering all the html tags. So I don’t think you can put html tags in a profile field.

When the text turns blue is it a link? If it’s a link, buddypress add links to the value of profile fields.

Of course, if I can help you. Send me an email at miguel@donmik.com.

I believe you can attach gravity forms to buddypress already. Check this link

I tried it and in my test site it works. What theme are you using ?
