Display buddypress profiles that have certain member role

  • Hey guys, I’ve seen this asked here a few times in the past 4 years. But I haven’t seen any working solutions.

    On my installation i’m using buddypress + s2member pro. So far it’s working together nicely. Except when I try to filter profile results on the /members page.

    Honestly, these kinds of manipulations arent usually so difficult for me, but for some reason I just can’t figure out what i’m doing wrong.

    in my members-loop.php file here is a snippet of the code i’m using to try and filter the user results. It start directly under the while( bp_members() ) : bp_the_members();

    <?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?>

<?php $user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();

$user = new WP_User( $user_id );

if ($user->roles[0] != 's2member_level2')
continue;
?>

    I have also tried this bit of code to get it to work:

    <?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?>

<?php $user=bp_get_member_user_id();

$s2member_var = get_user_field ("s2member_access_role", $user);

if ($s2member_var == "s2member_level1" || $s2member_var == "administrator") {

?>

    but still no results.

    Using either one does not work, and the members page will still show all the users. I dont understand what i’m doing wrong!

    Thanks so much in advanced for any advice.

    Here’s another, maybe easier to answer question.

    How could I build a comma separated list of user id’s who are not of the role “s2member_level2”.

    In essence i’d like to build a list of excluded user id’s that I could then pass to bp_has_members().

    Could someone assist me? I assume I would need to use implode?

    Thanks,
    M

    Bump?

    There are lost of plugins in the www.remarpro.com repo that will enable you to export your user list to CSV.

    That’s a good idea… But I would need it to be dynamic, which is why I was trying to do it in PHP. If I do it with a csv, I would have to update the list manually every day or two to make sure none of the new members are displayed on the members page.

    Any other good suggestions?

    I appreciate your time.

    Well, I was thinking you could use a cron job to automate the plugin.

    Do you have any useful reading material on the subject? Haven’t really dealt with cron jobs to much.

    Well, I have to admit that I haven’t tried it, but the WP Crontrol plugin looks like it might do what you need.

    Anything by John Blackbourn is likely to be very good.

    Hmmm Alright… I see what your saying. This could work. So let see if I can get the process straight.

    WP Control will help me to run the Users Export plugin on a scheduled basis.
    In doing so, my PHP function used to limit the users displayed on the members page of buddypress will need to create a string that is equal to the contents of the .csv that was exported?

    On a side note:
    I’ve still been hacking away at this PHP. But I still can’t seem to get the ID’s quite straight. Maybe you can help me with what I think should be a pretty easy question:

    private function get_custom_ids() {
        global $wpdb;

        // collection based on an xprofile field
		// WP_User_Query arguments

		$args = array (
			'role'	         => 's2member_level2'
			'fields'         => array( 'id' ),
		);
		// The User Query
		$user_query = new WP_User_Query( $args );
		//The User Loop
		if ( ! empty( $user_query->results ) ) {
			foreach ( $user_query->results as $user ) {
				$custom_ids = $user->ID.",";
			}
		} else {
			// no users found
		}
        //$custom_ids = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT user_id FROM {$wpdb->prefix}bp_xprofile_data WHERE field_id = 8 AND value = 'no'");
        return $custom_ids;
    }

    The members directory shows empty, and that there are no users to display. So I was thinking that there must be some other way that I need to check the role of an s2member user.

    So, I suppose my real question is: What means are necessary in order to check the capabilities of an s2member user from WP functions?

    Another idea that i’m having is:

    Can I build an array of ID’s for every single user on the system, and use get_user_field(ID,”s2member_access_role”) to check the role? Did some searching and I haven’t found a way to do that with wp_user_query… I tried calling it with no arguments, but it didn’t seem that it did anything.

    Thanks!

    You will need someone else to answer these questions. I’m just a user and certainly not a coder!

    Thanks for the input any way!

    Any other members out there that may have some answers? I’ve been banging my head on this for a while…
