Hi Andrea,

I’ve created 2 member types using the BuddyPress Member Type API. Each member type has a directory. For example:

• example.com/members/type/students
• example.com/members/type/teachers

I’m outputting a different form in each directory using a template tag.

When a user submits a form, they are taken to a results page at example.com/members. Does BP Profile Search allow me to use the member type directory as the results page.

For example, User A submits Form 1 on page:

example.com/members/type/students

Results are displayed at:

example.com/members/type/students

It should work as you expect but, if that’s not the case, please let me know.

When I submit the form at example.com/members/type/student, I always seem to be redirected to example.com/members page to view results.

Thanks for pointing out bps_search_form_data. I think the issue I’m seeing is related to me using a shortcode to output the form. In my case, I noticed the $F->location != 'directory' condition inside bps-form-sample-1.php always sets form action to “shortcode”.

Here’s the fix I ended up with:

add_filter( 'bps_search_form_data', function( $F ) {
    switch ( buddypress()->current_member_type ) {
        case 'student':
            $F->location = 'directory';
            break;
        default:
        // Do nothing for now.
    }
    return $F;
} );

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

You may be able to do something as simple as:

if ( buddypress()->current_member_type ) {
    // Set location to "directory"
}

Thank you Andrea, I’ll give it a try this week and report back if I find any issues.
