Hi,
1. I created two search forms called Search (Basic Search) and Advance Search.
2. I created a page called “Search Profiles” and added [bps_directory] shortcode to that page.
3. I selected directory results page in both forms search forms as “Search Profiles”
4. I also made “Add to directory” both search forms.

However when I search any criteria on my “search Profiles” page I get the whole directory listed. For example I select age range 18 to 20 but I get in the results page listing all members including those with higher age.

Please help.

Thank you andrea. Sent you private message. Kindly check.

I would like to add that the members page will only show you female profiles. Also to female users it will only show male profiles. I have added the code into functions.php of my child theme. But I dont think that is the reason of this problem as I even tried disabling this customization.

Hi Rizwan,

I sent you an email two days ago, I’m going to send it again.

To achieve the criteria I mentioned in my post I added the code below into functions.php of theme. The moment I add this code the BP profile search stops working and lists all members.

add_filter ('bp_ajax_querystring', 'modify_members_loop', 20, 2);
function modify_members_loop ($qs=false, $object=false)
{
	global $wpdb;
	if ($object != 'members')  return $qs;

	// figure out if the logged-in user is male or female
	$gender = xprofile_get_field_data (2394, bp_loggedin_user_id ());

	if ($gender == 'Male')
		$query = "SELECT user_id FROM {$wpdb->prefix}bp_xprofile_data WHERE field_id = 2394 AND value = 'Female'";
	else
		$query = "SELECT user_id FROM {$wpdb->prefix}bp_xprofile_data WHERE field_id = 2394 AND value = 'Male'";

	$custom_ids = $wpdb->get_col ($query);

	$args = wp_parse_args ($qs);
	$args['include'] = implode (',', $custom_ids);
	$qs = build_query ($args);

	return $qs;
}

Hello Rizwan,

Your code works for me. If you wish I could have a look at your site to understand why it doesn’t work for you.

Hi Rizwan,

Great you found the explanation of this problem!

We have the same issue with another plugin, see:

http://dontdream.it/bp-profile-search/incompatible-plugins/

I will download a copy of the Paid Memberships Pro software, and I will investigate further. I’ll let you know what I find out.

I’m sorry Rizwan, I’m not sure I understand your suggestion, could you please add more details? Thanks!

By the way, I think I found the fix for Paid Memberships Pro – BuddyPress Add On and I’m going to report that to their team.

Got it!

In the Edit Form screen, if you choose the Search Mode ‘is one of’ for your language field, you’ll get language check boxes in your search form.

If you prefer a multi selection drop down, you also have to add this code to your bp-custom.php file:

add_action ('bps_field_before_search_form', 'change_display');
function change_display ($f)
{
	// replace 789 with the ID of your language field
	if ($f->id == 789)  $f->display = 'multiselectbox';
}

You are welcome! And I’m adding your suggestion to my to-do list.
