Hi Anderson,

If your usermeta key is “mykey” and you only wish to display users with their “mykey” value equal to “whatever”, you can do so using the shortcode:

[bps_directory mykey="whatever"]

If, instead of a fixed value, you wish to use the value of a field from the current user’s profile, you can add the following code to your bp-custom.php:

add_filter ('bps_hidden_filters', 'my_hidden_filters');
function my_hidden_filters ($filters)
{
	$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id ();
	if ($user_id != 0)
	{
		$value = xprofile_get_field_data (27, $user_id);
	}

	$filters['mykey'] = empty ($value)? 'none': $value;
	return $filters;
}

Replace 27 with your actual field ID, and ‘mykey’ with your actual usermeta key.

Hi Anderson,

A few questions:

1. Is mykey an array of values, and field_27 a single value?

2. What code are you using to add the usermeta mykey to BP Profile Search?

3. What type is the field_27 profile field?

Hi Anderson,

You can try this:

a) modify your bps_usermeta_keys filter as follows:

add_action ('bps_usermeta_keys', 'add_more_keys');
function add_more_keys ($keys)
{
	$keys['capsule_tags'] = array ('set');    // line changed
	return $keys;
}

b) modify your bps_hidden_filters as follows:

add_filter ('bps_hidden_filters', 'my_hidden_filters');
function my_hidden_filters ($filters)
{
	$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id ();
	if ($user_id != 0)
	{
		$value = xprofile_get_field_data (27, $user_id);
	}

	$filters['capsule_tags_match_any'] = empty ($value)? 'none': $value;    // line changed
	return $filters;
}

Now your Members directory should only display users whose capsule_tags usermeta array contains the value specified in the current user’s field_27.

After further investigation it seems to remove the capsule_tags from the usermeta dropdown in the Edit Form sections.

Sounds promising!
It’s coming from wp-fusion. It’s syncing the data from an external crm to the usermeta info.
