Advanced search in other screens

    I would like to use advanced search on other screens, especially for searching for users to invite to groups etc.

    Do you have a GitHub for submitting proposals?

    I found these changes were needed to allow search to filter group member query
    in bp-profile-search:
    bps-templates47.php actions ll17-18:

    `
    $dirs = bps_directories ();
    $F->action = $dirs[$meta[‘action’]]->link;
    `
    change to:

    `
    if (bp_is_group_members()){
    $F->action = “?”;
    }else{
    $F->action = $dirs[$meta[‘action’]]->link;
    }
    `

    bps-search.php l.50 change from:

    `
    if ($object != ‘members’ && $object != ”) return $qs;
    if (bps_active_form () === false) return $qs;
    `

    to:

    `
    //allow the filter to apply to certain forms..
    switch ($object) {
    case ‘members’ :
    case ‘group_members’ :
    case ‘my-invite-form’ : //etc
    if (bps_active_form () === false) return $qs;
    break;
    default:
    return $qs;
    }
    `

    and add to top of bps-form.php:

    `
    /* add also to group member directory */
    add_action (‘bp_before_group_members_content’, ‘bps_add_form’);
    add_action (‘bp_before_group_members_content’, ‘bps_display_filters’);
    `

    Also BuddyPress bp-groups-functions.php l.658 change to:

    `
    $members = new BP_Group_Member_Query( $r);
    `
    otherwise ‘include’ filter is lost.
    Yes that would need proposing back to BuddyPress unless there is another way to do it..

    Hello jonmoore,

    Sorry I’m still using SVN, but thanks for your patch anyway!

    Please allow me a few days to look into it, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

    sure ok… if it was on Github I’d do a pull request.

    Actually the Group Member search is just the first step.
    The next step I am thinking is the BP Nouveau, Next Generation template pack, which has the ability to search all users to invite to a group, with a better interface than Invite Anyone.
    Of course such as search needs the advanced search filter..

    Hello jonmoore,

    I did some testing and your patch looks good. I’ll release your changes in the next plugin version, but the feature won’t be made public until a patched BuddyPress release is available.

    To enable the feature, you’ll need to patch BuddyPress as you explained, and add these lines to your bp-custom.php file:

    add_action ('bp_before_group_members_content', 'bps_display_filters', 10);
add_action ('bp_before_group_members_content', 'bps_add_form', 20);

    Thank you for your contribution, and please feel free to suggest more changes if needed.

    thanks – I haven’t requested a patch to BuddyPress as I wondered whether you might think of alternative workaround. Can you request to BuddyPress? (I’m not sure what their process is)

    Ok, I’ll try to submit a patch this weekend.
