    Hi Brajesh

    I want to control and target profile fields groups individually with BP custom hooks.

    But how do I define each profile field group, can I use the group id, or group name for this?

    I found this markup, is this the way to go?

    Define custom hook:

    // Primary Group custom hook
function custom_hook() {
	do_action('custom_hook');
}

    Tag custom hook

    <?php custom_hook(); ?>

    Add function

    <?php 
function hello_wordpress() {
	echo '<h1>Hello WordPress!</h1>';
}
add_action('custom_hook', 'hello_wordpress', 7);
?>

    Regards
    Carsten

    Hi Carsten,
    The above is correct way to create custom actions and attaching to those action.

    I am not sure what you want to accomplish, but it seems you want to display group data somewhere?

    To do that, you will need group id. If you want, you can pass group id as the 2nd parameter of the do_action function.

    PS:- If the goal is to only display fields data, creating custom hooks may not be needed.

    Hi Brajesh, thanks for your feed back.

    I have illustrated my goal, which is to place the edit buttons directly under their respective groups like this:

    Hi Carsten,
    If your goal is to add edit button under each group, there is an easy solution. You should override the profile loop template.

    you can copy buddypress/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php from your template pack or theme to your child theme/buddypress/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php

    That will give you all the flexibility.

    Hi Brajesh, yes, that is my goal, but of course it shall be the corresponding edit button for that group.

    ok, so after copying the profile-loop.php, how should I override it?

    What will that mean for the site functionality in general, overwriting this?

    Thanks
    Carsten

    Template override is a p[referred way for any changes that you need in the UI.

    Which template pack are you using? Nouveau or legacy? I can post the code to show the edit button.
