change checkbox to drop down on search form?

Hi Spyroweb,

You can use this code in your functions.php or bp-custom.php file:

add_filter ('bps_field_data_for_search_form', 'change_display');
function change_display ($f)
{
	if ($f->id == 123)  $f->display = 'selectbox';
	return $f;
}

Replace 123 with the actual ID of your checkbox field.

Hi,

I have another question now this the site link https://www.explicacoes-online.pt/explicadores/ where i am working

my question

Is it possible that some one select checkbox and it should filter that concern checkbox, In other word I mean that it should work before hitting submit button like a filter.

i am talking about sidebar form

That feature is not built-in, but you could add some JavaScript to the form template to automatically submit the form when a form element is changed.

Hi,

Andrea Tarantini, I am not a programmer but i would really wanted have a dropdown for my BP profile search. Can you explain in detail where i should insert the code.

I have tried to edit the plugin with the code you have given but it display error in the pulgin.

Hi idichoo,

You can add the code I suggested in one of two ways:

1. To the file functions.php, located in the directory of your active theme;

2. To the file bp-custom.php, located in the directory /wp-content/plugins.

If you can’t find them, you can create one of them (I suggest you use bp-custom.php so your changes are not tied to a specific theme).
