It’s not in the faq, the faq only shows an example using the filter. For your case, if you want to show only image url, try this:

add_filter( 'bxcft_show_field_value', 'my_show_field', 15, 4);
function my_show_field($value_to_return, $type, $id, $value) {
    if ($type == 'image') {
        $uploads = wp_upload_dir();
        $value = str_replace("<p>", "", $value);
        $value = str_replace("</p>", "", $value);
        $value_to_return = '<p>'.$uploads['baseurl'].$value.'</p>';
    }
    return $value_to_return;
}

Hi,

It’s because xprofile_get_field_data(‘Twitter’) is returning the link after the filter was applied, so your link is wrong, it’s something like this:

<a href="http://www.twitter.com/<p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/username" target="_blank">username</a></p>" target="_blank"><img src="'. get_bloginfo('template_url') .'/images/social_icons/twitter_icon.png">

I think you can solve this, using strip_tags:

if ( $twitter_name = strip_tags(xprofile_get_field_data('Twitter')) ) {
				echo '<a href="http://www.twitter.com/' . $twitter_name . '" target="_blank"><img src="'. get_bloginfo('template_url') .'/images/social_icons/twitter_icon.png"> ';
			}

If you write this, xprofile_get_field_data will return only the username without the p and a tags. I suppose you know that you need to close the a tag. The correct way should be:

if ( $twitter_name = xprofile_get_field_data('Twitter') ) {
				echo '<a href="http://www.twitter.com/' . $twitter_name . '" target="_blank"><img src="'. get_bloginfo('template_url') .'/images/social_icons/twitter_icon.png" /></a> ';
			}

I think you can force download in your code, or in htaccess, or in the configuration of your server, but you cannot force a doc or pdf to show in browser. To show a pdf in your browser, you need first the plugin from adobe reader and I think you need your server allow this and don’t force download instead of viewing.

What I’m saying is I don’t think you can solve this changing the code of my plugin…

Hi, sorry for the delay, I was moving from my home.

In the new version 1.5.6.2, this is solved.

Hi,

In the faq, I explain how to use the filter bxcft_show_field_value to modify the way you show your fields in profile page.

In your case, I think the best way is to create a textbox field named “Facebook”. Then in your functions.php of your theme, write this code:

add_filter( 'bxcft_show_field_value', 'my_show_field', 15, 4);
function my_show_field($value_to_return, $type, $id, $value) {
    if ($type == 'textbox') {
        $value = str_replace("<p>", "", $value);
        $value = str_replace("</p>", "", $value);
        $field = new BP_XProfile_Field($id);
        if ($field->name == 'Facebook') {
            $value = trim(strip_tags($value));
            $new_value = sprintf('<a href="http://www.facebook.com/%s">%s</a>', $value, $value);
        } else {
            $new_value = $value;
        }
        return '<p>'.$new_value.'</p>';
    }
    return $value_to_return;
}

This code will execute every time you need to show a profile field. It will check if the type of the field is a “textbox” and then it will check if the name of the field is “Facebook” if you create the field with a distinct name, please change this line:

if ($field->name == 'Facebook') {

Instead of “Facebook”, write the name of your field.

Then it creates the link to facebook with the name of the user in facebook.

Check this and tell me if it works. Thanks!

Hi,

Well, I don’t know, I think maybe you need to ask in buddypress suport forums because the group fields feature is originally from buddypress, my plugin only adds new types of fields.

Sorry for the delay.

I really don’t know why this happens. Can you try to turn on debug mode and see if any error, warning or something appears.

This function “bxcft_edit_render_new_xprofile_field” is responsible of showing the fields of my plugin. If you know a little of php you can put code to see if this function is working or not.
