default filter

    Hello,

    I’m trying to create a filter for a members directory. What I want:
    – when loggedin users click the menu link to go to the membersdirectory, I want the directory to be prefiltered.
    – the filter should be on field_241 (textfield)
    – the value should be based on the user profile:
    $value = xprofile_get_field_data (241, $user_id);
    When a loggedin user visits the memberdirectory (and has ‘dance’ in userprofile field 241) I would like them to see members that have ‘dance’ in field 241 by default, but be able to search all other ‘values’.

    A hidden field doesn’t work for then they cannot search for other values in field 241.
    – add_filter (‘bps_hidden_filters’, ‘my_hidden_filters’);
    – function my_hidden_filters ($filters);

    Filtering search results seems to have the same problem
    – add_filter (‘bps_search_results’, ‘my_filter_241’);
    – function my_filter_241 ($users)

    A default value doesn’t filter the results when they visit.
    – add_action (‘bps_field_before_search_form’, ‘set_default’);
    – function set_default ($f) {
    if ($f->code == ‘field_241’) {
    …$f->value = xprofile_get_field_data(241, $user_id);…
    }
    }

    I’m hoping there is an obvious solution that I missed.

    Hello dotdoc,

    You can try the following code:

    add_filter ('bps_request', 'alter_request', 10, 3);
function alter_request ($request, $type, $form)
{
// set the filter if it's not already set
	if (empty ($request['field_241']))
		$request['field_241'] = xprofile_get_field_data(241, ... ;

// set the form page to avoid a PHP notice
	if (empty ($request['bps_form_page']))
		$request['bps_form_page'] = bps_current_page ();

	return $request;
}

    Thank you. After adding the $user_id that worked!
