#6082 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

Incorrect results from xprofile_get_field_id_from_name( $field_name )

Reported by: dontdream's profile dontdream Owned by: r-a-y's profile r-a-y

Description

When a field name and an option value are the same, the function

xprofile_get_field_id_from_name( $field_name )

may return the option ID instead of the desired field ID.

The attached patch restricts the search to rows with parent_id = 0.

XProfile: Make sure xprofile_get_field_id_from_name() returns a field ID for a field name.

Previously, when using xprofile_get_field_id_from_name(), it was possible
to get the option ID instead of the desired field ID because a field name
and an option value (for a checkbox or radio field) can potentially be the
the same in the wp_bp_xprofile_fields DB table.

This commit ensures that field name look ups will return a field ID instead
of an option ID. Commit also includes a unit test.

Props dontdream.

Fixes #6082.
