 > How does a datebox field end up with a integer timestamp instead of a
 string for strtotime()?

 Hi Paul, i thought as the filter
 [http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-xprofile/bp-
 xprofile-filters.php#L134 xprofile_filter_format_field_value] is using
 this condition, there might be a reason. Maybe the datebox field was
 stored as a timestamp in previous versions. As i had a doubt, i simply
 used the same condition than the filter.

 Actually, in the function
 [http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-xprofile/bp-
 xprofile-functions.php#L366 xprofile_format_profile_field()], if you
 simply replace line 373 by

 {{{
 $field_value = bp_format_time( strtotime( $field_value ), true, false );
 }}}
 it displays the value as expected.

 Another approach is to use the filter
 [http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-xprofile/bp-
 xprofile-filters.php#L51 bp_get_the_site_member_profile_data] that seems
 to not being used by any function. In this case line 373 is becoming :

 {{{
 $field_value = apply_filters( 'bp_get_the_site_member_profile_data',
 $field_value, $field_type );
 }}}
