Mmmm, I’m testing in:
Wordpress 3.5
Buddypress 1.6.2
BP Xprofile Custom Fields Type 1.4.3

The field set to show age works properly.

Can you check the versions?

This topic is solved too.

Ummm, ok, so what should be good for you it’s to choose the way to display the birthdate.

I can work in this update, but if you need this now, you can change the code of the plugin. Search the function bxcft_get_field_value. Replace this line of code:
return '<p>'.date_i18n(get_option('date_format') ,strtotime($value) ).'</p>';

By this line:
return '<p>'.date_i18n('F j' ,strtotime($value) ).'</p>';

You are doing here, instead of using the date format you adjust in settings, you use a custom format “F j” month and day only.

I will try to put this possibility in a future update.

If you want to show only birthdate, don’t check the option “Show age (hide birthdate)”. If you check this, it will show your age, if you don’t check this, it will show your birthdate.

Ok, I think there is another filter who is interfering with the filter of xprofile plugin. I just released a new version. Try it, I hope it solves this issue.

What I was saying above is when we adapt the plugin to bp profile search, we only make one change.

Bp Profile Search looks for a datebox field type to use as a date field. Our birthdate field returns “birthdate” and not “datebox” when asking for the type of the field. The only thing we change is return “datebox” as the type of the field and then BP Profile Search could use our birthdate field.

So, if you have Birthdate selected in profile field type, it should work. With the same versions of plugins, it works in my wordpress.

If you can, you could show us what type of field is returning. To do this, you need to modify bps-functions.php, file of bp-profile-search. Put this code in bold, after line 21:

while (bp_profile_fields ()) :
    bp_the_profile_field();
    <strong>var_dump(bp_get_the_profile_field_type ());</strong>
    switch (bp_get_the_profile_field_type ())

Then if you reload the profile search page in administration, you can ser the type of each field above. Tell us what type of field it returns. It must return datebox for your birthdate field, if not, there is another plugin or filter interfering with xprofile plugin.

I’m glad that everything runs smoothly!

Mmm, I believe this plugin can’t help you for what you want.

If you need to access profile data in members directory loop you can add in the template of this page, this code in the loop bp_members():

<?php if ( bp_has_profile() ) : ?>
   <?php while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>
      <?php while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); ?>
         <?php if (bp_get_the_profile_field_name() == 'name_of_checkbox_data_field') : ?>
            <?php bp_the_profile_field_value(); ?>
         <?php endif; ?>
      <?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

This will show all profile data for all members. You can check if the field name is the name of your checkbox field to display only the data you need.

I hope this helps.
