Hey there,

I’m trying to filter a custom directory so that it only shows and can only search s2Members. Through the code below in the custom member loop (full details here), I’ve managed to restrict the directory to only these members, but I can’t get it to filter the search results within this group.

		<?php
$args = array ( 'role'  => 's2member_level1', 'fields' => array( 'id' ) );	

// The User Query
$user_query = new WP_User_Query( $args );	
		
$artneeds_ids = '';
for($i = 0;$i < sizeof($user_query->results); $i++){
    $a = $user_query->results[$i]->id;
    $artneeds_ids .= $a.",";
}
?>

<?php if ( bp_has_members(bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) .  '&type=latest&' . 'include='.$artneeds_ids  ) ) : ?>

Do you know of any way to do this with BP Profile Search? Alternatively, is there an effective way to make separate pages that each filter by 1-2 xprofile fields?

Hi Chris,

I was able to reproduce the problem you reported. I’m not sure if I can fix it on BP Profile Search, but if you wish you can adapt your code to make it work.

The reason is that BP Profile Search filters bp_ajax_querystring and anything you put outside that function isn’t filtered.

To make things work, you can filter bp_ajax_querystring too. An example is in this code:

that modifies $args['exclude'], while you should set

$args['include'] = $artneeds_ids;

instead.
