    Is it possible to display a shortcode of another plugin in the Xprofile fields?

    Hi Peter,
    Welcome to BuddyDev.

    This is doable if you want your users to enter some data. In case of BuddyPress, only a field with some data is fetched and shown on profile page.

    If you want to create a field which uses shortcode from another plugin but the user does not enter any data, It is not doable(atleast easily since BuddyPress won’t list the field).

    If you want, You can provide me a field id(text or multiline text field) and I can help getting your shortcode working in it.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Basically, it should be such that only the admin can fill this field.

    I used e.g. the Football Leagues plugin.

    Here there is a short code of clubs or tables.

    I would like to display this club or table in the user profile page.

    The shortcode looks like this:
    [anwpfl-clubs competition_id = "" logo_size = "big" logo_height = "50px" logo_width = "50px" exclude_ids = ""]

    Now I have created a field with the name: Club.

    Title: Club
    Type: Text area
    Meta name: user_verein

    If I now enter the shortcode, I will not see the club but only the shortcode.

    HI Peter,
    Here is an example

    
add_filter( 'xprofile_get_field_data', function ( $value, $field_id, $user_id ) {

	if ( 5 != $field_id || is_array( $value ) ) {
		return $value;
	}

	return do_shortcode( $value );

}, 10, 3 );

    Please add it to your bp-custom.php and try.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Thanks in advance I will test it.
    Could you just tell me what 10 and 3 means at the end of the code?

    Then the question is this code flexible if I have the field ID 6,7 or 8?

    Do I only have to change the 5 in the code?

    Regards
    Peter

    HEllo,

    i can´t find a file with the name: bp-custom.php

    Regrads

    UPDATE:
    I created the file and then uploaded it to the wp-content / plugins folder
    – ` <?php
    // hacks and mods will go here
    add_filter( ‘xprofile_get_field_data’, function ( $value, $field_id, $user_id ) {

    if ( 3 != $field_id || is_array( $value ) ) {
    return $value;
    }

    return do_shortcode( $value );

    }, 10, 3 );
    ?> `.

    But the shortcode is not displayed.
    The field remains empty

    OK. It works.

    I had a normal text field and no multi-line.

    Would it also work with a one-line text field?

    Hi Peter,
    Thank you for confirming.

    Yes, It will work for one line text fields too.
