Hi Andrea,

First and foremost, this is an amazing piece of work. So cleverly done. I am impressed. Thank you.

Secondly, I have a member city/country etc as drop down list. But when I search I want user to select multiple cities/countries. How can I achieve that please. I was hoping the ‘range’ option intelligently make that happen but it seems its only for number now.

Thank you in advance for your valuable time.

Muhammad.

hmm, but I have a concern though.

I can move the legacy template to members directory as I have customisation to support my case but I also have customisation in
bps-teamplates47:

		if ($meta['field_mode'][$k] == 'range')  {
			$f->display = 'range';
			$f->type = bps_displayXsearch_form ($f);
		} elseif ($meta['field_mode'][$k] == 'multiselect') {
			$f->display = 'multiselect';
			$f->type = bps_displayXsearch_form ($f);
		}

bps-xprofile
'selectbox' => array ('' => 'normal', 'range' => 'range', 'multiselect' => 'multiselect'),

	if ($f->filter == 'range') {
		if ($type == 'datebox') {
			return 'age_range';
		} elseif ($type == 'selectbox') {
			return 'multiselectbox';
		} else {
			return 'range';
		}
	}

etc …
which means plugin updates will break them.

What would you suggest please.

Thanks in advance

Hi Muhammad,

Sorry for the late reply!

If you wish to change the default display of a search field, you can add this code to your file bp-custom.php:

add_action ('bps_field_before_search_form', 'change_display');
function change_display ($field)
{
	if ($field->id == 123)  $field->display = 'multiselectbox';
}

Replace 123 with your actual field ID.

Yes, you can change the display to textbox too:

add_action ('bps_field_before_search_form', 'change_display');
function change_display ($field)
{
        if ($field->id == 123)  $field->display = 'textbox';
}
